has joined

international news organizations,
launched a daily paper, Falastin
(Palestine), with a permit from
the Palestinian Authority. After
being hauled in twice by Mr.
Arafat's security men, he closed
it. "I decided to stop before I was
ordered to," he explained. "I'd
rather stop being a journalist and
sell tomatoes, if I can't be cred:
ible in my reporting."
Two voices of the Islamic op-
position do still come out, how-
ever.
But they have learned to
watch their step. Al Istiqlal (In-
dependence), the organ of the ex-
tremist Islamic.Jihad group, is
published openly from offices in
one of Gaza's main streets. It
prints 4,500 copies every week
and claims to sell 4,000.
Last year, the Palestinian Au-
thority closed it twice, once for
two months, once-for 15 days. Six
of its journalists spent three
months in a Palestinian prison
during the wave of Islamic
suicide bombings of Israeli tar-
gets.
"We have no censor," All Saf-
tawi, the paper's publisher,
smiled. "It's here and it's not
here." Did that mean self-cen-
sorship? "Of course," he replied.
"I don't give up my ideological be-
lief, but rm careful how I express
it.
"I try to avoid any personal at-
tacks on Yassir Arafat and other
leaders. We reject the Oslo peace
agreement. We criticize the
Palestinian Authority. But we
don't want to confront them."
As Maher Alami put it, recu-
perating in Jerusalem: "Pales-
tinian journalists are not exactly
the Fourth Estate. We don't have
the kind of press 'that forced
Richard Nixon to resign." He
waxed almost nostalgic for the Is-
raeli military censor: "You send
them your material. They ban or
approve what you send. And
that's that." ❑

Senate Passes
Sanction Bill

Washington (JTA) — The Unit-
ed States came one step closer to
imposing sanctions on foreign
firms that invest in Iran's oil in-
dustries.
The Senate passed the Iran Oil
Sanctions Act in a voice vote
without debate.
The measure, which is sup-
ported by the White House, is
expected to pass the House of
Representatives in the coming
weeks. •
In memory of the 259 people
killed when terrorists blew up
Pan Am flight 103 over Locker-
bie, Scotland, the Senate includ-

ed sanctions on firms that do
business with Libya's fuel in-
dustries.
The vote on the measure came
on the eve of the seventh an-
niversary of the bombing.
Under the Senate bill, spon-
sored by Sen. Alfonse D'Amato,
R-N.Y., sanctioned firms would
be denied access to financing
sponsored by the Export-Import
Bank of the United States and to
licenses for exports to the United
States.
U.S. law already prohibits
American firms from investing
in Iran's fuel industries.
The president could also pro-
hibit mergers, acquisitions or
takeovers involving U.S. compa-
nies that might provide Iran with
cash, as well as limit funding
from American banks to sanc-
tioned firms, according to the
measure.
Iran has desperately sought
foreign capital to bail out its econ-
omy and to finance its nuclear
program.
Tehran hopes that foreign in-
vestment can make up for what
the international community has
denied in the areas of trade and
credit.
Neal Sher, executive director
of the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee, which lobbied
hard for the measure, hailed the
vote as a "pivotal step in the effort
to curb terrorism and the nuclear
threat to the free world."
"The American people are
united in finally taking concrete
measures to thwart the spread of
this brand of evil," he said.

Non-Orthodox
Get Funding

Jerusalem (JTA) — Advancing
the cause of religious pluralism
in Israel, the Religious Affairs
Ministry will allocate some
$160,000 to the_Reform and Con-
servative movements in the Jew-
ish state.
Secular organizations that deal
with Jewish issues from a plu-
ralistic perspective are also ex-
pected to receive funding.
Israel's High Court of Justice
previously ruled that the Reform
and Conservative movements
should receive funding from the
Religious Affairs Ministry for
Torah studies.
But until now, only small
amounts were disbursed in an in-
formal matter.
The announcement of the al-
locations reportedly came in the
wake of new funding criteria es-
tablished by Religious Affairs
Minister Shimon Shetreet, who
has sought to eliminate inequities
in funding for non-Orthodox in-
stitutions.
The allocations provoked crit-
icism from Orthodox parties in
Israel.
