LETTERS Graphic Magician Prints from the Norton Simon Museum Now through January I 6, 2000 so-called , " peace process" will eventually see (Jerusalem's) Arab neigh- borhoods handed over to the Pales- tinians." I was unaware that final-status negotiations Yitzhak Rabin had been con- cluded and the disposition of Jerusalem had already been decided upon as a fait accompli. Third, he claims that "rabbis" jus- tified the murder committed by Yigal Amir, without naming names. I challenge Mr. Rubin to find even one rav who would consider justify- ing such an unholy act of violence. Where Muslim clergy often encour- age such acts of terror in their co- religionists, never once has a Jewish clergy done the same. In fact, Jewish clergy from all streams, both Ortho- dox and heterodox, are the first to condemn such acts when committed by Jews. Finally, Mr. Rubin claims the Leah Rabin's Jew-baiting is justified. At least he understands it. He also noted that Mrs. Rabin's Jew-baiting is doing more to divide than unite." I submit that Mr. Rubin's rhetoric does the same. Mr. Rubin laments the fact that people with vastly different para- digms rarely, particularly in theological and political terms, cross our path." I understand this to mean that Jews of different political and religious lean- ings don't communicate with each other very much. Indeed, I also sub- mit that Mr. Rubin should, himself, get out more.

I =I a Israeli Court Is Wrong The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, report- ing on two Jewish "extremists," pro- vided insight into the Israeli govern- ment's campaign against Jewish right- wing groups and its concept of mis- taken corruption infecting the state. The first noted that the Israeli Supreme Court, supporting the left- wing army endeavors, voted to tear down the burial monument to Baruch Goldstein because its continued pres- ence would send a message "of praise for the crime" ("Court Okays Shrine Removal," Nov. 19). Baruch Goldstein, combat surgeon, killed 29 Arabs because the Israeli gov- ernment and its much-vaunted army declined to interfere with Arabs and their chanting for Jewish blood. They professed ignorance as to why Arabs were armed with iron poles in their mosque. Is it wrong to interfere with Arabs to preserve Jewish blood? Apparently the army thinks that until the Arab strikes and murders Jews, it cannot interfere; all this to send the right message that Jews will accept anything as long as the world says that peace will be the result. Second, JTA cited a Jewish extremist" sentenced to a 24-year jail term "for placing a pig's head on the grave of a Palestinian nationalise' ("Sentence Given in Pig Incident," Nov. 19). How is a Jewish extremist different from an Arab nationalist? Perhaps the extremist deals in nonsense while the nationalist cries of loss of land. Then why do Jews end up in Israeli prisons when complaining of their loss of land? Surely, the Israeli court would not censor Arab hatred and condemna- tions of Jews; yet it sentences any right-wing Jewish attempt to make and commemorate its love of Israel and, by extension, their hatred of Arabs. Can it be that the court feels better to preserve Arab nationalism because it appears to be mere words than to let Jewish extremism run rampant over the left-wing Israelis? Hallowed to continue the appease- ment of the Arabs, the court will be superfluous when the Arabs take con- trol. Robert L. Cauly Committee for the Jewish Idea Troy
