High Court Backs
Ethiopian Ohm
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's High
Court of Justice has asked
Education Minister Zevulun
Hammer to cancel a decision
to award the Israel Prize
for journalism to a columnist
who wrote a controversial
article about Ethiopian immi-
grants.
The court also asked Mr.
Hammer to clarify whether the
Israel Prize committee would
have reconsidered its decision
had it known about the article
written by Ma'ariv columnist
Shmuel Shnitzer, who was re-
cently censured for it by the
Journalist Association's ethics
committee.
The court directive came in re-
sponse to a petition from Labor
Knesset member Adisu Massala,
who said an August 1994 col-
umn by Mr. Shnitzer was racist
and that he should not receive
the prize.
In his article Mr. Shnitzer re-
ferred to Ethiopians who immi-
grated to Israel as "thousands of
apostates carrying dangerous
diseases."
Mr. Shnitzer's column was
written in response to an article
in the Ha'aretz newspaper that
reported on the high incidence
of tuberculosis among Ethiopi-
an immigrants.
It also followed a request by
the Ethiopian community to
block the broadcast of a televi-
sion news story on the high in-
cidence of AIDS in the
community.
President Ezer Weizman met
with Mr. Shnitzer earlier this
month and urged him to apolo-
gize to the Ethiopian cOmmuni-
ty. •
Mr. Shnitzer has refused to
retract his remarks.
