Jews that have been under-
standably euphoric about the
recent Israeli-Arab peace
process most probably became
even more so what with Yas-
sir Arafat's finally coming out
recently with a statement con-
demning the killing of yet an-
other Israeli "settler."
It might be a good idea for
those of us, basking in our
own projections of what Mr.
Arafat considers the peace
process, to read the state-
ment by Mr. Arafat's aide
that immediately followed the
words of condemnation.
Jibril Rajoub said Fatah
militants will comply with
the appeal. But, he said, the
best way to end violence
would be to:
• Speed up application of
the self-rule agreement
• Free Palestinians (about
8000) detained in Israeli pris-
ons
• Permit "deportees" (one,
two, five million?) to return
"home"
• Isolate Israeli "settlers"
(about 120,000!) from Pales-
tinian society as a first step
toward their return to Israel!
Is this what our euphoric
Jewish brethren had in mind
as a "peace process" suppos-
edly for the benefit of the
State of Israel and a means
of guaranteeing its well-be-
ing and long-term survival?

Rabbi Bergstein
And The Shoah

The article "Holocaust Mu-
seum Misrepresents Shoah"
by Rabbi Chaim Bergstein
(Nov. 12) is written with in-
tense feeling and probably
sincere conviction.
The writer lambastes the
Nazis and all those European
nations who willingly assist-
ed Hitler and his cohorts in
their plan to exterminate all
the Jews they could lay their
hands on.
He goes on to take Ameri-
can Jewish leaders to task for
not having done much in an
attempt to rescue some of the
persecuted and intended vic-
tims of Nazi brutality.
It is not my intention here
to hold a brief for the leader-
ship of American Jewry of the
time in question, but why is
it that memories can be so se-
lective? The political situa-
tion of the time was such that
the Roosevelt administration
— which certainly wanted
Nazi Germany to be defeated
— had to weigh carefully
every move it made in order
to keep American public opin-

ion favorably disposed to the
Allied cause. Making the war
effort look in the least bit part
a rescue operation for Euro-
pean Jewry would most like-
ly have had disastrous
consequences.
I also find it disturbing
that the learned rabbi in his
article indicts, in a blanket
fashion, a religion that is not
his own. This kind of tactic
can be used by advocates on
both sides of an argument ( it
is called generalization) and
reflects in a detracting way
on those who engage in it.
Surely, his criticism could
have been done with some
circumspection.
There is one more thing in
the rabbi's article that I find
unacceptable and offensive.
He espouses the idea of "de-
struction prior to redemption"
and thus hands Hitler and
his kind the mantle of a cos-
mic player in the drama of
Jewish survival — not a
pleasant thought to live with.

Jewish Priorities
And Vouchers

Why, oh why, has opposition to
school choice and vouchers be-
come a "Jewish cause" ("Edu-
cation Coalition Forms to
Impact State Policy," Nov. 12).
Where are the priorities of the
organizations (Jewish Commu-
nity Council, National Council
of Jewish Women, Anti-
Defamation League and Amer-
ican Jewish Committee)
involved in this activity, any-
way?
Study after study has
shown that only Jewish ed-
ucation can defeat the terri-
ble ills of assimilation,
intermarriage, et al, that are
plaguing our people. Inten-
sive Jewish education, of the
day school yeshiva type, has
proven the most effective of
all for maintaining so-called
"Jewish continuity."
Every Jewish child de-
serves a true Jewish educa-
tion of the sort offered by
these institutions, yet many
families do not send their
children to our Jewish schools
because they cannot afford
tuition. Parents sending their
children to day schools pay
taxes to support public
schools and receive nothing
in return. Why shouldn't ed-
ucation tax monies at least
cover the cost of the secular
education component of our
Jewish schools?
How wonderful it would be
if some of these monies could
be freed up to ease the bur-
den of day school tuition! Cer-
tainly, every Jewish day
