Support In Flatow Case
The family of Alisa Flatow, the 20-
year-old Brandeis University student
from New Jersey who was killed in a
1995 Gaza terror
bombing, turned
to Congress this
week after a fed-
eral judge stayed
an order attach-
ing seized assets
of the Iranian
government to
help pay a $247
million claim.
Alisa Flatow:
Victim of terrorist
Judge Royce
bomb.
Lamberth
acknowledged
strong diplomatic
considerations in his decision to tem-
porarily block the sale of buildings
seized from Iran after the 1979 Islamic
revolution and the takeover of the
U.S. Embassy in Teheran.
Earlier this year, Judge Lamberth
ruled in favor of the Flatow family,
who took advantage of a law passed
after their daughter's murder that
allows individuals to sue foreign gov-
ernments that support terrorist
groups. Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-
backed group, claimed credit for the
blast that killed Alisa Flatow.
Last week, he ruled that the .
Flatows could begin the process of
attaching Iranian property in
Washington to settle the claim. But
then the administration stepped in,
arguing that seizure would violate
international agreements dealing with
diplomatic property.
Steven Perles, the attorney for the
Flatow family, had no complaints
about the judge's temporary order.
"The stay is not a big deal," he said
in an interview. "It's something they
have to do as an accommodation to
the government."
But he was outraged by the admin-
istration's role.
"The real issue here is their decision
to enter the case; they're not there
helping the Flatows, they're on record
supporting the Iranians' claims. That
particularly disturbs the family."
Earlier, administration officials
refused to help the family locate
frozen Iranian property in the capital.
"So we went out, using computer
data bases, and found three parcels of
land in D.C.," Perles said. "We moved
to attach that property, and the judge
approved. Then the State Department
entered the case."
The administrative stay will last for
10 days, he said; after that, the gov-
ernment will make its case and the
Flatows' lawyers will respond. Judge
Lamberth also is expected to hold a
hearing on the issue.
But Perles said that representatives
of the family are already lobbying
Congress for a legislative remedy.
"We're working with the Cuban-
American community, which has an
analogous problem with blocked
Cuban assets. Senator [Frank]
Lautenberg, D-N.Y., and Senator
[Connie] Mack, R-Fla., are working
with the Appropriations Committee
to see if a rider can be put on the
Treasury Appropriations Bill that will
deal with this."
Two-Sided Peace
Two interesting groups breezed
through Washington this week.
Four young Likud leaders and four
Palestinian counterparts representing
the Fatah wing of the Palestine
Liberation Organization met with leg-
islators and administration officials as
part of an ongoing dialogue that
began last year in Cyprus and contin-
ued in Israel and the West Bank.
They had a succinct message for
officials here: don't give up on the
quest for peace in the region.
The group, sponsored by the
American Council of Young Political
Leaders, leaves on Thursday for visits
to Chicago, Boston and New York.
"These are people who are doing this
at great personal and political risk," said
Jay Foodik, a former White House offi-
cial who serves on the group's board.
"There were intense efforts by Fatah
Youth to marginalize participants, and
the new chairman of Young Likud
refused to send delegates. There was
intense activity by those who did not
want this to take place, and that tells
me it's having an impact."
Also this week: the Religious Action
Center of Reform Judaism hosted
some 100 young marchers in town for
the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the
Middle Passage, which marks the con-
nection between slavery and today's
racial crisis.
Participants are walking down the
East Coast; later, they will travel by
boat to the Caribbean, Brazil and
Africa. On Wednesday, they stopped
for lunch at the RAC on
Massachusetts Avenue.
"We feel it's important for partici-
pants to understand the role the
Jewish community has played — and
continues to play — in the civil rights
struggle," said RAC associate director
Mark Pelavin.
