Canadian Navy Admits
Jews Not Sent To Gulf
Vancouver (JTA) — The
case of a Jewish naval reser-
vist who charged discrim-
ination for being denied a
posting to the Persian Gulf
because of his religion has
forced the Canadian navy to
acknowledge that it excludes
Jews from duties overseas
that require contacts with
Arabs.
Lt. Andrew Liebmann,
who applied for the position
of executive assistant to the
commodore of Canadian
naval forces in the Gulf, has
filed a "redress of
grievances," the formal pro-
cess of complaint within the
Canadian Armed Forces.
"If that doesn't work, I will
go to court through the
Charter of Rights," said Lt.
Liebmann, who lives in
Vancouver.
He said he was told by Lt.
Commander Dave Gardem
at Navy Headquarters in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, that
his application for the post
announced vacant had been
accepted but that "I was not
going because I am Jewish."
Capt. John Blakeley of the
Office of National Defense
agreed that Lt. Liebmann's
application had been
favorably processed.
"At first glance, his ap-
plication seemed to satisfy
all the necessary qualifica-
tions, so that Maritime
Command forwarded it to
National Defense head-
quarters in Ottawa," Capt.
Blakeley said.
"While the application
was here in Ottawa, some
concern was raised by au-
thorities about whether the
fact that Liebmann's re-
ligious faith — Judaism —
would create problems to his
personal safety and impede
his ability to fulfill the job,
which called for meetings
with Arab Moslem dig-
nitaries from the host
nations.
"This concern was based
on the policy regarding
peacekeeping operations."
Capt. Blakeley acknowl-
edged that Canadian forces
participating in U.N.
peacekeeping operations in
the Middle East, such as on
the Golan Heights, exclude
soldiers who are Jewish.
"We are not looking at
whether somebody is going
to be discriminated against
in our free country of
Canada," Capt. Blakeley
said, "but whether in fact
they will be put into more
personal danger than they
need be, or whether they
might jeopardize the opera-
tion by being incapable of
carrying out the peacekeep-
ing mandate," he explained.
In any event, the position
was erroneously listed as va-
cant because of a
misunderstanding, the
Armed Forces Office said.
But Lt. Liebmann is not
satisfied with the replies.
"I don't suspect that it's
racism, but it is discrimina-
tion," he said. "I think the
person who made the deci-
sion doesn't realize that you
don't have to be racist to be
guilty of discrimination."
Israelis' Neglect Of Pets
Angers Animal Lovers
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Animal
lovers are incensed over the
wanton abandonment of pets
by residents of the Greater
Tel Aviv area who fled in
panic for safer parts after
the first Scud missile attacks
last month.
The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals and the Let The
Animals Live society report
a sudden increase in the
number of stray dogs and
cats. It has tripled from some
40 to 50 to more than 150 a
week since the missiles
began falling, the societies
said.
"Fainthearted owners fled
to save their own skins,
without a thought for the
pets they claimed to love,"
an animal protection vol-
unteer said.
The area around Sde Dov
airport in northern Tel Aviv,
where flights for Eilat leave,
is filled with abandoned
vehicles and abandoned
dogs.
"We've found some dogs
tied up outside empty
houses. Others have been let
loose on the roads leading
out of town or in public
parks. We found one prize
Rottweiler wandering in a
public park with a note on
its collar reading 'please
adopt me,' " a society mem-
ber said.
Hundreds of stray dogs
have been killed on the
highways. Many are
emaciated.
