Johannesburg (JTA) — South
Africa's chief rabbi has strongly
criticized local Jews who choose
to emigrate, saying that they are
abdicating their moral obligations
to family members they leave be-
hind and to the South African
Jewish community at large.
Chief Rabbi Cyril Harris also
criticized Jewish professionals
who had left the country after be-
ing educated at a great cost to the
government.
Directing some of his ire at re-
cent emigres to Canada and Aus-
tralia, Rabbi Harris told a
conference of the South African
Jewish Board of Deputies, "I
would like to impose a tax on
them which could go towards
maintaining the South African
community."
He suggested an annual tax of
$250 on each emigre family.
Rabbi Harris also said South
African Jews had a responsibili-
ty that went beyond the Jewish
community. •
"It is clearly a priority to look
after our own Jewish communi-
ty," he said, but added that Jews
also had a responsibility "as proud
South Africans in a new democ-
racy" to their country.
The chief rabbi also criticized
Jew's who were quick to look for
signs of anti-Semitism in South
Africa but who were biased to-
ward other races.
The Jewish community in
South Africa had "tunnel vision,"
establishing its own upper-mid-
dle class to the exclusion of oth-
ers, he said.

Palestinian officials charged
that the incident was an attempt
to obstruct the peace process.
The speaker of the Palestinian
legislative council, Ahmed Karia,
called it a "flagrant violation" of
the self-rule accords.
After meeting, Mr. Peres and
Mr. Arafat told reporters that
their discussions focused on ways
to protect the peace process.
Mr. Peres said he had no desire
to attack the Netanyahu govern-
ment, but added, "I feel deeply ob-
ligated by every promise we made
on behalf of the [previous Labor]
government, on behalf of the Is-
raeli people."
Earlier, Mr. Arafat canceled a
meeting of the joint Israeli-Pales-
tinian Civil Affairs Committee to
protest the initial Israeli refusal
to permit two of his helicopters to
fly from Gaza to the West Bank.
Some Palestinian officials said
the permit had been personally
denied by Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu.
Mr. Netanyahu lashed out at
Mr. Peres earlier, saying that the
opposition leader was undermin-
ing the government by holding an
unauthorized meeting with the
Palestinian leader.
Labor Party officials countered
that when he was leader of the op-
position, Mr. Netanyahu had met
with Jordan's King Hussein and
with Morocco's King Hassan.
Mr. Peres is scheduled to fly to
Morocco, on what he described as
a "private visit." He is expected to
meet with King Hassan.
