AMERICAN S CANCER OCIET Y' Kahane Chai Arrested In Village Jerusalem (JTA) — Eleven right-wing activists from the Kahane Chai group were ar- rested last week for trying to occupy homes in an Arab village close to the Jewish settlement of Kfar Tappuah. The arrests took place after the members of Kahane Chai, a group opposed to the Rabin government's peace in- itiatives, attempted to use the Arab homes as the basis of a settlement of their own. Kfar Tappuah, located east of Tel Aviv, was slated to be the next site for a new set- tlement to be built by the settlers group Zu Artzeinu, or This Is Our Land. The group has been engag- ed in a campaign to establish 130 new settlements throughout the territories — thereby effectively doubling the current number of set- tlements — to protest the Israeli-PLO self-rule accord signed in Washington last September. Members of This Is Our Land had made plans to set up a settlement in Kfar Tappuah in cooperation with its residents. But David Romanoff, spokesman for This Is Our Land, sharply condemned the action of the Kahane Chai activists in Kfar Tappuah. Mr. Romanoff said they had "completely fooled" him and had essentially taken over his own group's planned activities. "We strongly object to this kind of activity and dissociate ourselves from those who took part in it," he said. His group's policy, he said, is to settle only state-owned or private Jewish lands, not Arab property. His group, Mr. Romanoff pointed out, is against all forms of violence. Nonetheless, Mr. Romanoff added, the actions of the Kahane Chai group did not dissuade the mem- bers of This Is Our Land from their goal of "bringing the government down. "This Is Our Land will ab- solutely continue its cam- paign against the govern- ment's policy of wholesale surrender of the land of Israel with non-violent pro- tests and activities until its policy is brought to a com- plete halt," he said. Dozens of members of Mr. Romanoff 's group have been arrested since last week, when the campaign of erec- ting new settlements began. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin lashed out at the Kahane Chai activists and other settler "extremists." With his characteristic bluntness, Mr. Rabin re- ferred to their "idiotic ac- tivities" and charged them with diverting the energies of Israeli security forces from fighting terrorism. Mr. Rabin's government is determined to face down set- tlers groups opposed to its policies. Clashes between the settlers and Israeli security forces, replete with the mass arrests of settlers, have become an almost nightly occurrence lately. Police Commissioner Rafi Peled said earlier this week that the daily arrests of set- tlers may result in the over- crowding of jails. But Mr. Peled said police authorities were, nonetheless, prepared to continue the arrests — and would set up special deten- tion camps if the settlers persisted in their anti- government activities. ❑ Spellcheck Has Biases London (JTA) — An interna- tional company has canceled all further orders of a spellcheck database after renowned photographer Lemma Levine discovered the word "gas" was displayed when she keyed in the word "Jewish." The Innovations catalogue, distributed in Sunday newspapers and by direct mail, advertised the electronic spellchecker, which incorporates 85,000 entries based on Roget's Thesaurus. The company's product de- velopment manager, Andy White, said the software was brought in from China. Un- til it is altered, the company will not be buying any more he said. A version of the pro- duct, with the same problem, is sold in America. White said the machine did not accept proper nouns such as Jewish, Christian and Christmas and would seek the nearest equivalent. Using the word "garage" as an example, he said a "g" and "j" were phonetically interchangeable. ❑
