Violence Marks
Land Day
Taiba (JTA) — Most of
Israel's more than 700,000
Arab citizens and 1.5 million
Palestinians in the ad-
ministered territories held
protest marches and demon-
strations last week in honor
of Land Day.
A general strike shut down
public transportation, while
schools were closed and
businesses and shops were
padlocked.
Land Day marks the an-
nual commemoration of the
events of March 30, 1976,
when six Arabs were killed
during rioting that broke out
over the expropriation of
Arab land in Galilee.
For 14 years the anniver-
sary was peaceful. This year
was no exception, except in
Taiba, an overgrown village
of 24,000 about 20 miles nor-
theast of Tel Aviv, which is
soon to be elevated to the
status of a town.
Here violence erupted
suddenly with the ferocity of
the intifada. In this village
14 years ago, a Palestinian
youth was killed in rioting
on the first Land Day. A
monument marks the spot.
Masked youths hurled
stones and bottles at heavily
reinforced police, who re-
sponded with tear gas.
Before the day was over,
seven policemen were in-
jured, including one who was
stabbed in the back.
The police made 22 ar-
rests.
Israel Receives
$40 Million
New York (JTA) — More
than $40 million was wired
to Israel last week to assist
the resettlement of Soviet
Jews there.
The $40 million is the first
cash monies of the nearly
$100 million so far pledged
in the United Jewish Ap-
peal's Operation Exodus
campaign to resettle Soviet
Jews in Israel. The organiza-
tion officially started its
$420 million 1990 campaign
Tuesday.
The funds will be used to
assist more than 12,000 re-
cently arrived Soviet immi-
grants with Hebrew instruc-
tion, job training, medical
care and housing assistance.
Israeli officials estimate
that 230,000 Soviet Jews
will arrive in Israel in 1990,
up from earlier estimates of
100,000 new arrivals. In re-
sponse, UJA officials are
now considering increasing
their original $420 million
goal.
