Argentines
Recall Bombing

Buenos Aires (JTA) — Argentine
Jews, joined by Israeli and Amer-
ican representatives, marked the
20 months that have elapsed
since the bombing of the Jewish
headquarters here.
As more than 500 people gath-
ered outside the Argentine
Supreme Court to commemorate
the July 18, 1994, bombing, Ar-
gentina joined with two neigh-
boring countries to sign an
agreement designed to crack
down on terrorists operating in
the region.
The investigation into the
bombing of the Argentine Mutu-
al Aid Association, or AMIA, has
been marked by a frustrating
succession of false leads.
The bombing claimed 86 lives
and left more than 300 wounded.
As part of the commemora-
tions, the crowd gathered at the
blast site and lit 86 candles while
the names of the victims were
read aloud.
Avraham Burg, chairman of
the Jewish Agency for Israel, told
the gathering that Israel "will
rest only when the case is solved
and the terrorists brought to jus-
tice."
A 56-member delegation from
the United Jewish Federation of
MetroWest in New Jersey also
participated.
"When Jews are killed any-
where, we feel the same pain,"
said Stanley Strauss, the feder-
ation's president.
Also unsolved is the March 17,
1992, bombing of the Israeli Em-
bassy in Buenos Aires, which
killed 29 people and left more
than 100 injured.
The fourth anniversary of the
embassy bombing came amid a
warning from Israel's ambas-
sador to Argentina, Itzhak
Aviran, that the Islamic funda-
mentalist Hezbollah movement
could launch another attack
against a Jewish target here.
Israel and Argentina have ac-
cused Hezbollah of carrying out
the two bombings.
Argentina's interior minister,
Carlos Corach, is scheduled to
visit Israel to meet with Prime
Minister Shimon Peres and dis-
cuss cooperation in countering Is-
lamic extremists.
Meanwhile, Argentina, Brazil
and Paraguay signed a pact to co-
ordinate border patrols and crack
down on terrorism and drug traf-
ficking in their common border
area near Ciudad del Este, a com-
mercial city in southeastern
Paraguay.
The treaty calls for full coop-
eration between the security ser-
vices of the three countries and
for an upgrading of facilities to
control the movement of people
and vehicles in the busy inter-
national border region.

Intelligence sources have de-
scribed Ciudad del Este as a
smuggling center with a large
Arab community.
Argentine police claim that
Arab terrorist groups maintain
cells and support bases in the
city.
According to the Argentine ju-
diciary and police, those cells
were involved in both the AMIA
and Israeli Embassy bombings.

More than 5,000 children are scalded by hot water in the tub each year, according to the National
Safe Kids Campaign, prompting manufacturers to respond with several engineering breakthroughs.
One innovation from Grohe is Grohmix, a thermostatic valve for showers and tubs that allows you to
preset the temperature anywhere between 60 and 110 degrees. A safety stop set at 100 degrees pre-
vents children from accidentally scalding themselves.

The Grohmix also is a pressure
balancing valve, which prevents
temperature shocks from sudden
pressure changes in cold or hot
water. Whether a toilet is flushed
or dishwasher turned on, your
shower is never interrupted.
Almost all 50 states now
require that these types of safety
valves by used in all new con-
struction.

Anti-Semitism
Up In Canada

Montreal (JTA) — B'nai Brith
Canada's League for Human
Rights has found that the num-
ber of reported incidents of
anti-Semitic harassment and
vandalism in 1995 stood at its
highest point in 14 years.
The league's annual Audit of
Anti-Semitic Incidents showed
that there were 331 incidents in
1995, compared with 290 re-
ported the previous year.
The 1995 figure may be an
underestimation of the actual
number of anti-Semitic inci-
dents, said Karen Mock, na-
tional director of the League for
Human Rights.
"The audit depends on the vol-
untary reporting of incidents,"
she said, adding that "people are
often afraid to report, and frus-
trated when they fear nothing
will be done."
She noted that only "one in 10
anti-Semitic incidents are ever
reported, similar to incidents of
child abuse or wife assault, both
of which are notoriously under-
reported."
The increase of reported inci-
dents in 1995 over previous
years may be the result of the
"quite sophisticated" high-tech
system used to report the inci-
dents, said Robert Libman, the
BBC Quebec's regional director.
He added that a new hate-line
installed in the group's Toron-
to office has made reporting the
incidents easier, contributing to
last year's higher total. Nearly
50 percent of the reported inci-
dents occurred in Toronto.
Mr. Libman said the number
of hate messages transmitted
over the Internet has become a
growing concern.
There is a debate over the best
way to combat this, "either with
laws to restrict it or to use the
(Internet) to actually combat
racism" with anti-hate cyber-
messages, Mr. Libman said.
By contrast, the United States
witnessed a drop in the number
of anti-Semitic incidents in 1995.
In its annual audit released
last month, the Anti-Defamation
League recorded 1,843 incidents
last year, a decrease of 11 per-
cent from 1994.
It was the first decline in
three years.
