New York/JTA — Hundreds of people
protesting the contested U.S. presidential
race demonstrated outside the
Connecticut home of Democratic vice-
presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman.
Democrats charged Lieberman's crit-
ics with anti-Semitism for holding the
rally on Shabbat.
Republican sympathizers accused the
Democrats of trying to steal the election
through repeated vote recounts in
Florida. Lieberman, who is an Orthodox
Jew, was in Washington at the time.

U.S. Skinheads
Are Sentenced

Los Angeles/JTA — Five skinheads
who attempted to firebomb a syna-
gogue in Reno, Nev., one year ago were
sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.
On Nov. 30, 1999, the five, aged 19
to 26, accompanied by two teenage
girls, tried unsuccessfully to burn down
Temple Emanu-El, home to an 80-year
old Conservative congregation.
The sentence "sends a very strong
message that this kind of hatred is not
going to be tolerated, at least not in this
community," Assistant U.S. Attorney
Daniel Bogden said following last week's
sentencing by Judge David Hagen.

Jerusalem/JTA — An Israeli observation
