Aid For Arab Woman
Provides Unifying Force

-

-

■

multiplicity of steps
in the direction of en-
couraging Arab coop-
eration with Jews keep
leading to trends that erase
misunderstanding; rather
they emphasize amity which
is invited and encouraged by
Israel.
The increasing new devel-
opments gain enthusiasm in
the program of Magen David
Adom, the Israel equivalent
of the Red Cross. The recent
step in that direction was
announced in a Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency report
released in Jerusalem a few
days ago:
Magen David Adom's
senior counselors have
trained 43 Palestinian
women from the ad-
ministered territories in a
first aid and resuscitation
course.
The women will work in
medical services in the
towns and first aid
facilities established in
the villages by the Civil
Administration, which
had expressed eagerness
to help Palestinians care
for themselves without
dependence on outsiders.
A step like this one,
publicized in the very days of
unifying efforts by those of
the Mubarak-Rabin
meetings in Cairo, lend
significance to Magen David
Adom as a unifying element
for peace. It gives satisfac-
tion to our community's
support of the movement as
plans are being made for its
annual celebrating function
under the leadership of Eva
Mames and prominent
communal supporters. It is
heartening to be witness to
functions that lend reality to
peace efforts.

Judgments Blind
To Realities

A current Hollywood
triumph compels submission
to realities and rejection of
exaggerations dealing with
screen judging. Menacing
results to be guarded against
have become apparent in a
New York Times fantasy by
two Columbia University
students, Rebecca Roiphe
and David Cooper, who
wrote on July 2 under the
title "Batman and the Jew-
ish Question."
There is much in the view
of these two writers that

multiplies evidence of the
anti-Semitic. The defense
against such a charge is pro-
vided in this editorial defini-
tion of their judgments:
"The film depicts good and
evil in terms of Christian
morality" There is so much
that is thoroughly negative
that it is well to be ac-
quainted with their in-
troduction to what they have
accumulated:
Batman's new adver-
sary the Penguin ... is not
just a deformed man, half
human, half Arctic beast.
He is a Jew, down to his
hooked nose, pale face
and lust for herring. No,
Mr. DeVito's not Jewish,
but that's just it: Man in
penguin costume,. Chris-
tian in Jew face.
(The film) is not anti-
Semitic. But the director,
Tim Burton, repeatedly
uses imagery and cultural
stereotypes that are
rooted in Judeo-Christian
culture . . . He depicts the

It becomes
apparent that the
two writers resort
to every devilish or
dramatic factor.

Penguin as one of the
oldest cliches: the Jew
who is bitter, bent over
and out for revenge, the
Jew who is unathletic and
seemingly unthreatening
but who, in fact, wants to
murder every first-born
child of the gentile com-
munity.
The troubles created by
the two Columbia students
lie in the endless impres-
sions left by the bigotries
and inhumanities inscribed
here in the references to
Jews.
It becomes apparent that
the two writers resort to
every devilish or dramatic
factor to lend emphasis to
their approaches to deny the
anti-Semitic. They even
utilize the theme of the In-
ferno depicted by Dante.
The Penguin's
underground den, a cav-
ern of ice and toxic waste,
is a modern version of the
last circle of Dante's hell.
His umbrellas that
transform into bayonets,
machine guns and
helicopters are Moses'
magic staff. The flipper
hands he holds at his

chest are Moses' hands,
which in Exodus become
"leprous as snow."
There is no ignoring the
concluding search by the
Columbia students for
justification in making the
Penguin an acceptable ap-
plication to interfaith amity.
On the contrary, it seems
realistic there is a cause
here to turn again to Dante's
Inferno and to read,
"Abandon Hope all ye who
enter here." If we are ex-
pected to find proper rela-
tionship in the Penguin
depicted for us in the New
York Times article, we are
compelled to reply,
"Abandon hope those who
expect amity and an accep-
table anti-Semitism in an
unacceptable fantasy."

Renewing The Sin
Of Death Camps

An advertisement in the

New York Times (Aug.5)

keeps alive the human
commitment created by the
Holocaust proclaiming the
duty of "Never Forget!"
Under the heading "Stop the
Death Camps," and address-
ed as "An Open Letter to
World Leaders," the cons-
cience of mankind is aroused
by the following proclama-
tion co-sponsored by the
American Jewish Com-
mittee, the AJCongress and
the ADL :

The media have reported
the existence of Serbian
death camps in which
humans, forcibly in-
carcerated because of their
ethnicity, are once again
being systematically
slaughtered.
To the blood-chilling
names of Auschwitz,
Treblinka and other Nazi
death camps there seem
now to have been added
the names of Omarska and
Brcko, where it is reported
thousands have been
starved, tortured and ex-
ecuted, and cremated as
fodder for animals.
Is it possible that fifty
years after the Holocaust,
the nations of the world, in-
cluding our own, will stand
by and do nothing, preten-
ding we are helpless?
In the name of every
value we claim to hold
sacred, we urge our
government and the inter-
national community to act
— through the United Na-
tions, in cooperation with
European allies, or alone, if
