sould like a situation you could get

the 3-year or 36,000-mile Alfa
Assurance Program?' But hurry. At $393
a month, the. cars, and thus the thrill,
will be gone before you know it.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1990

T

he two Posts— one in
Washington, the other
in Jerusalem — don't
agree about much these
days, especially since the
one in Israel has taken a
decided swing to the right.
But the two papers were
highly critical of the United
Nations' resolution criticiz-
ing Israel for the Oct. 8
Temple Mount tragedies.
In editorials, both papers
stated that the United
States supported the resolu-
tion more from a desire to
keep intact the anti-Iraq
military coalition than from
an attempt to slap Israel on
the wrist. And both thought
the resolution illustrated the
hypocrisy of the United
Nations.
"It is always interesting
what it takes to engage the
United Nations," com-
mented the Washington
Post. "Israel was held to ac-
count for the killing by
panicked police of 20 or so
members of a huge Palestin-
ian mob that was stirred by
false reports that their holy
place was about to be
desecrated and that re-
sponded by throwing rocks
at Israeli citizens at prayer."
Meanwhile, noted the
paper, Syrian troops were
reported to have killed
dozens of disarmed soldiers
in Lebanon.
Bristling that the United
States had not protested
Syria's activity or seconded
France's request for the UN
to investigate the incident,
the Post urged America to
object to Syrian actions
"without fear that candor
will push Syria out of the
Gulf coalition which Presi-
dent Hafez Assad — no
shrinking violet — joined
not to please Americans, but
for reasons of his own."
And according to the
Jerusalem Post, "only the
hopelessly naive" believe
that the UN condemnation
reflected "the merits of the
case. Since the founding of
the UN, there have been
countless riots of all kinds by
ethnic or religious
minorities, students,
strikers, peace movements...
They have been suppressed
with varying degrees of har-

shness and brutality, but not
one of them elicited a UN
condemnation . . ."
America's "tilt against
Israel is reminiscent of
Britain's policy in the late
1930s. With war looming,
the British believed that
only by placating the Arabs
of the Middle East at the ex-
pense of what was then
known as the Jewish com-
munity in Palestine could
they keep the Arabs on their
side."

Fein Weeps
At 'Avalon'

Kudos have been heaped
on Avalon, director Barry
Levinson's new film, but the
first writer to say he cried
"from beginning to end" is
Leonard Fein.
In his weekly column in
The Forward. the national

Leonard Fein:
"Most beautiful movie."

Jewish newspaper, Mr. Fein
tags Avalon "the most beau-
tiful movie I have ever
seen."

The film's details, says Mr.
Fein, show "my Baltimore,
these were the details of a
Jewish life that did not call
particular attention to the
fact of its Jewishness be-
cause that fact was assumed,
taken for granted . . . "
Avalon, concludes Mr.
Fein, "is manifestly a story
of and by Jews, but for any-
one who knows that the lives
of families are lived in their
homey details, . . . in the
modest terrors of childhood,
in the assumptions of love
and loyalty . . . It is a story
for everyone, the story of
Every Family." El
