school in the Jerusalem suburb of
Mevasseret Zion.
Neither has anyone been arrested
for the hundreds of threatening tele-
phone calls and faxes received by the
Reform Movement's Israel Religious
Action Center in Jerusalem.

Israel is the only
country where
anti-Semitic acts
can be carried
out and it doesn't
move anyone.

"

— Rabbi David Ariel-Joel

"I've basically given up hope with
the police," said Action Center
spokeswoman Anat Galili.
"Whenever something happens I call
to remind them, but I don't expect
anything. One policeman actually
told me that if we make a noise in
the media, we encourage the hood-
lums to attack us. In other words, we
should keep silent."
A Jerusalem police spokesman
claims that the threats against the
Action Center have subsided since
the summer of 1996, thanks to police
phone taps that traced the calls to
five or six yeshivot. At the urging of
police officials, rabbis of these yeshiv-
ot warned their students against
harassing the Reform, and the harass-
ment ended, according to the
spokesman.
Galili has evidence to the contrary
— the Action Center's answering
machine. "Almost every morning
there is at least one hostile, threaten-
ing message on it. We're not getting
the flood of threats we had before,
but they're still coming in."
Because the Har-el graffiti featured
well-worn ultra-Orthodox or haredi,
curses such as "cursed evildoers,"
Galili suspects that the hand of a
haredi drew the swastika and wrote
down the curses.
Of course, it could have been
worse. Two years ago, a cafe on Har-
el's grounds that had been opening
on Shabbat was torched. And some
15 years ago the Baptist church was
torched. No one has been arrested for
those crimes, either.
