MAX BIBER Israeli Tourists Attacked By Skinheads Bonn (JTA) — For the first time since the beginning of the current wave of violence by neo-Nazis in Germany, two Israeli tourists have been attacked by neo-Nazi skinheads. The two Israelis, who became engaged in a scuffle with the skinheads who taunted them, were promptly released by police after the fracas, which took place in a supermarket. The skinheads, both of whom have criminal records and are known to be assoc- iated with extremist groups, were detained in custody for 24 hours. They face charges of insulting and attacking foreigners, a police spokes- man in Potsdam said. The incident was the first physical assault by neo- Nazis on Israelis or Few of the vandals have been caught and none has been brought to trial. Local politicians tend to shrug off the incidents as youthful mischief. specifically on Jews. But it sent shock waves through the German Jewish com- munity and among Jews abroad. Although Jews in Ger- many have been spared such attacks until now, dozens of instances of Jewish cemetery desecrations have been recorded this year in the south German state of Baden- Wurtemberg alone. Few of the vandals have been caught and none has been brought to trial. Local politicians tend to shrug off the incidents as youthful mischief. But right-wing thugs have attacked foreigners with im- punity this year, to the pro- found embarrassment of the Bonn government. Their targets mainly have been guest laborers or asylum- seeking refugees from Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. The two young Israelis were shopping at a market called Kaufhalle Spar when the skinheads, recognizing foreigners in their midst, shouted at them, "Pigs, get out of Germany." The Israelis shouted back,"Again the Nazis," and a violent clash erupted with shopping carts. He was a visionary leader, founder and former president of our school. The only injured party was an innocent bystander, a 5- year- old boy, who was slightly injured by one of the carts. Witnesses said it was unclear whether the neo- Nazis knew the tourists were Israelis or attacked them simply because they were speaking a foreign language. The police, who took the attackers and attacked alike into custody, released the Israelis with profuse apologies when they iden- tified themselves. On the same day, police in Emmendingen, southern Germany, arrested eight members of the neo-Nazi National Front. Most are between 16 and 17 years old. They are accused of se- verely damaging a refugee hostel in the village of Kaiserstuhl and daubing the walls with swastikas. The new parliamentary chairman of the combined parliamentary group of Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union deputies in the Bundestag has proposed that asylum- seekers who enter Germany from what are deemed "safe countries" should in the future be deported or not permitted to enter Germany at all. Wolfgang Schaeuble told the daily Stuttgarter Zeitung last week that Germany's governing coalition has agreed that an asylum -seeker who enters from France, for example, could be refused permission to enter Germany and returned to France. Mr. Schaeuble invited the opposition Social Democrats to discuss the matter fur- ther. He told a television inter- viewer that a real solution to the matter of asylum- seekers could only be brought about by a change in the Constitution and ex- pediting of the asylum pro- cedure. Funds saved by Germany's accepting fewer asylum-seekers, he said, could then be applied to bet- tering conditions in the countries which the asylum- seekers are fleeing. Eat less saturated fats.
