FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1992
GRobert 'Mann afitit

Salberg and Abraham H.
Foxman in a statement last
week.
"The fact that the jury has
acquitted Nosair of murder
does not preclude a federal
action, nor should it unduly
influence the department's
decision to bring suit in
order to vindicate the vic-
tim's civil rights," the
chairmen said in a Dec. 23
letter to Assistant Attorney
General John R. Dunne.
Under federal law, the
government must demon-
strate that a civil right has
been violated and that viola-
tion was bias-motivated.
"Rabbi Kahane was engag-
ing in a clearly protected ac-
tivity — the exercise of his
free speech rights — when
he was murdered," the
chairman said. "Moreover, it
is apparent that the murder
was motivated by racial and
religious prejudice."
Police in New York said
they found terrorist manuals
and a receipt for 1,440
rounds of rifle ammunition
at Mr. Nosair's home in Cliff-
side Park, N.J., and a vial of
poison in his locker at 111
Centre St., where he was
employed as an air-
conditioning and heating
technician.
James Thomas, an Arab-
American criminal defense
attorney in Detroit, said the
civil rights suit is another
way of trying Mr. Nosair for
the same crime, just under a
different statute. "To bring
Nosair back on a federal
civil rights charge smacks of
double jeopardy," Mr.
Thomas said. "Although it's
allowed, it's a terrible thing
to put someone through, es-
pecially if they cannot prove
it.
"It was a terrible thing
that Meir Kahane was
killed," he said, "but the
system has spoken and we
should abide by it."
Harriet Drissman of Farm-
ington Hills, president of the
Jewish Idea, the Detroit
fund-raising arm of Kach
International, said, "I'm not
surprised by the lack of reac-
tion among the American
Jewish establishment."
Mrs. Drissman charged
Jewish organizations with
regarding Rabbi Kahane as
"an expendable Jew." She
said she found that out last
year when local Jewish
agencies and religious
groups turned down her re-
quest to rent space for a
memorial service one month
after Rabbi Kahane was
murdered. Mrs. Drissman
said the Agency for Jewish
Education and the Jewish
Community Center refused
El Sayyid Nosair:
Alleged assassin.
to rent space for the
memorial meeting because
they are funded by the Jew-
ish Federation.
Spokesmen for the two
agencies said the request
was turned down for safety
reasons.
"People are still afraid of
Rabbi Kahane and he's
dead," Mrs. Drissman said.
Moshe Phillips, national
coordinator of Kach Interna-
tional, said Rabbi Kahane's
last words before his death
were prophetic. "He saw the
growing anti-Semitism of
America which this verdict
confirms," he said.
"His last message — pro-
moting aliyah — remains
right on target."
