opposition element or an- other. At the same time, after thoroughly roasting Ms. Aloni last week, the press has had a change of heart about the affair. Over the weekend, one op- ed piece after another argued that nothing she had said, especially on religious matters, was really so outrageous. On the contrary, she was merely representing views that most secular Israelis would wholeheartedly endorse.

"It had no problem betraying Yitzhak Shamir in March 1990," one columnist fumed, "and has none undermining Yitzhak Rabin now." Its at- tempt "to make political capital" out of the Aloni flap was essentially "a new form of blackmail" designed to "squeeze compensation" out of Mr. Rabin in the form of more power or more money for its institutions. Moreover, since Aryeh Deri could soon be indicted for the misappropriation of funds, observers are sug- gesting that the current commotion is Shas's way of signaling Mr. Rabin of what's to come unless he manages, somehow, to forestall that indictment. The bottom line of the af- fair has yet to be reached. ' But at the very least it's clear that the honeymoon is over. Mr. Rabin hit the ground running and got the country's juices going again. But the moment he stoppc to take a breath, the old litical shtick rushed into the vacuum. His fledglil coalition is already crea ing, and it's far from ch., how he's going to save This much seems certai. though: if it comes down to is battle between the sophistic Sephardi sages and the acerbic Ms. Aloni, even the making of peace is going to look like a piece of cake. ❑ News Canada Rejects Luitjens Appeal Toronto (JTA) Jewish organizations here are pleased with last week's decision by Canada's Supreme Court to reject a bid by convicted Dutch Nazi war criminal Jacob Luitjens to appeal a denaturalization order. The Sept. 10 ruling removes the last hurdle before a deportation hear- ing, which will be held on Oct. 13 in Vancouver. The court did not explain its ruling, but revocation of citizenship is not usually appealable under Canadian law. Mr. Luitjens, a 73-year-old retired University of British Columbia botany instructor, was stripped of his Canadian citizenship last November by a Cabinet order after a federal court ruled in Oc- tober that he had knowingly concealed his past Nazi ties when he immigrated to Canada in 1961 and again when he applied for citizen- ship 10 years later. That ruling set in motion efforts to send Mr. Luitjens back to the Netherlands, where he was tried in absen- tia in 1948, convicted of "aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war" and sentenced to life imprison- ment. — Mr. Luitjens was a former member of the Dutch Nazi party and the Landwacht, a paramilitary unit which assisted the Gestapo in rounding up Jews and resistance fighters in oc- cupied Holland. Mr. Luitjens could be the first person deported under the new extradition treaty between Canada and the Nether- lands, which went into effect last December. In 1981, the Dutch government requested that Mr. Luitjens be returned to The court did not explain its ruling. Holland, but Canadian Justice Department officials ruled that the Canada- Netherlands extradition treaty of that time did not cover the crime of collabora- tion. To date, Canada has suc- cessfully completed only one war crimes case. In 1983, Albert Helmut Rauca of Toronto was extradited to West Germany to stand trial for the murder of 11,585 Jews in the ghetto of Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania. Mr. Rauca died before the case could be heard.
