North Korea Confrontatio
Has Mideast Implication
JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
I
srael's friends in Washing-
ton are so absorbed with the
continuing drama of the
Mideast peace talks that
many are paying scant atten-
tion to the escalating con-
frontation between this country
and North Korea.
That may be a mistake, ac-
cording to some observers;
North Korea's suspected nu-
clear weapons program, and its
status as the biggest supplier of
ballistic missiles to the Mideast,
could be a dangerous wild card
in a Middle East moving un-
easily towards peace.
"The prospect of North Korea
acquiring a nuclear arsenal has
very significant implications for
Israel," said Josh Muravchik, a
resident scholar at the Ameri-
can Enterprise Institute. "We
know they are part of this net-
work of rogue states that coop-
erate with one another. If North
Korea does pull it off, they may
trade weapons with countries
like Libya and Iran. That would
effectively mean the end of the
nonproliferation regime."
"Korea seems too far re-
moved from the immediate con-
cerns in front of most Jewish
groups," added Jason Isaacson,
Washington director for the
American Jewish Committee.
This week, the Jewish group re-
leased a study of Jewish-Kore-
an relations that includes
warnings about the threat to
Mideast peace posed by the ag-
gressive North Korean weapons
program.
"In may ways, this is an im-
portant test of the American
government's ability to deal
with the kinds of slippery situ-
ations that nuclear proliferation
sometimes raises, and to con-
front an erratic regime that has
the ability to cause great dam-
age to its own neighbors — and
which could also spread the
technology they are fast ac-
quiring to regimes that pose a
direct threat to Israel."
Israel, however, is concerned
about North Korea. Last year,
the Rabin government began
developing ties to North Korea
in an effort to stem the flood of
weapons to the region. But the
Israelis were warned to aban-
don that strategy by the Clin-
ton administration, which
instead is seeking to isolate the
North Koreans.
So far, at least, the American
strategy has not done much to
curb North Korean exports. But
a more immediate danger in-

sile, which North Korea is de-

Iran wants to buy some 150

than 1,000 miles.
Kiryas Joel Case
Has Complications
Even Jews sometimes have a
hard time distinguishing be-
tween the cultural, religious
and ethnic content of Jewish
life. So consider the agonies of
the nine justices of the Supreme
Court as they begin digesting
Nathan Lewin
last week's oral arguments in
the controversial Kiryas Joel
case.
During that session, sever-
al justices seemed interested in
making the distinction between
the cultural and religious mo-
tives of the Satmar Chasidim
who convinced the State of New
York to set up a special public
school district to accommodate
their handicapped children —
a violation of the "establishment
clause" of the Constitution, ac-
cording to a New York appeals
court.
In fact, the questioning indi-
cated the possibility that the
justices could decide the case on
grounds having nothing to do
with church-state separation—
which would avert a judicial
showdown over the "Lemon
test," the strict benchmark
against which the High Court
has measured church-state
questions in recent years.
"From our point of view, it's
perfectly acceptable if the court
wants to view this as cultural,
and that the reason the kids
couldn't go to another school
district is a secular reason," said
Washington attorney Nathan
Lewin, who argued Kiryas
Joel's case in last week's hear-
ing. "Overturning Lemon is not
our goal; as a lawyer, it's my
duty not to sacrifice my client
to a broader issue."
Mr. Lewin repeated the ar-
