Israeli sympathy for the perpetrator of the

about the depth of "Jewish racism."

T
he level of support for a
murderous lunatic and
the identification (with
Dr. Baruch Goldstein)
among some sectors of the pub-
lic have been greater than I'd
estimated at first," Prime Min-
ister Rabin told an audience of
dovish ex-military men a month
after the Hebron massacre. "I
see in this the danger of an
Israeli racism, or to be more pre-
cise, a Jewish racism."
A few days after the Feb. 25
bloodbath, the prime minister
had told the Knesset that Dr.
Goldstein and his Kach col-
leagues were a "foreign im-
plant," an "errant weed" that is
rejected by the rest of Israeli
society. However, recent public
expressions, especially by young
people, have forced Mr. Rabin
and other proud Israelis to
change their tune.
It must be recognized now
that while the great majority of
Israeli Jews clearly think of the
massacre as an immoral act,
the ranks of those who see Dr.
Goldstein as a hero spread well
beyond the murkier recesses of
Jewish Hebron and Kiryat
Arba.
The most dramatic evidence
of this came recently on a pop-
ular TV talk show, "Pop-Polit-
ica." In a debate over whether
state religious schools were
turning out too many Jewish
chauvinists who saw nothing
wrong with killing innocent
Arabs, one educator said the
problem was just as bad in
secular schools.

boys from an ORT technical
high school in Jerusalem said
nonchalantly that their class
had stood in silence to honor Dr.
Goldstein's memory.
The massacre "showed the
Arabs that we can come after
them just like they come after
us," said one of the boys. A num-
ber of teen-agers in the studio
audience applauded. One of the
panelists, newspaper columnist
and Holocaust survivor Tommy
Lapid, said he was "amazed" to
hear such talk in Israel and
compared it to Nazi doctrine.
"You're monsters!" he shout-
ed at the boys.
Since the Hebron murders,
Israeli teachers have devoted
lessons to explaining why Dr.
Goldstein's deed was such an
abomination. But at one high-
ly-rated Jerusalem high school,
the Hebrew Gymnasium, about
half the students of an llth-
grade class gathered off-
campus after one of these anti-
Goldstein lessons and chanted,
"Death to the Arabs," and
"Goldstein the tzadik."
The Education Ministry is in-
vestigating the incident. It is
also investigating reports by
students from a Petah Tikva
school that on a pre-Passover
visit to the matzah factory at
Kfar Chabad — which hosts
thousands of students before
the holiday — they were lec-
tured to by some Chabad resi-
dents on how Dr. Goldstein had
"saved the Israeli people."
While that event speaks
poorly for Chabad, it speaks
well for the Petah Tikva stu-
dents who
reported it.
There have
been other
encourag-
ing signs.

dents in Tel
