'Age Isn't a vaccine against HIV' The Michigan Jewish AIDS Coalition and Congregation Shaarey Zedek invite you to hear Milic Jane Fowler murder," Sharon said, "and the responsibility is fully his." The Zionist Organization of America is sending a letter to President Bush, asking him to press Arafat to kick the PFLP out of the Palestinian Authority, shut down the organization's training camps and help bring the assassins to justice. ZOA National Director Morton Klein said it is wrong for the United States to be chastising Israel for taking measures against domestic terrorism at a time when the United States is launch- ing massive military retaliation against Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaida network for the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "America is involved in a grotesque hypocrisy when it is targeting bin Laden and killers of Americans while demanding that Israel not target killers of Israelis, Klein said. The far-left Israeli group Gush Shalom, however, said Ze'evi's death shows the bankruptcy of Israel's own policy of targeting Palestinian militants, and highlights the need for peace talks. "If only this round of revenge does not lead to counter revenge," the group said in a statement, "but it is possibly too much to be expected from this gov- ernment to draw the conclusion that assassinations are just not it, and that EYE FOR AN EYE on page 20 always received crank communica- tions, threatening communications, some more credible than others," said Elan Steinberg, executive director of the World Jewish Congress. "I don't see an increase in the quality or quan- tity of such communications. "However, because of the changed circumstances and the sober reality we're facing, I think we address it in a much more serious manner." Jewish communities abroad have been on high alert since the intifada began a year ago, but have been placed on even higher alert since Sept. 11, Steinberg said. To buttress these efforts, he said, the WJC has established a new "security fund" for communities to upgrade their building security. At Brandeis, two buildings were evac- uated Monday after an administrative assistant to President Jehuda Reinharz apparently opened an envelope and found white powder on her hand. The buildings were cleared for three hours while law enforcement officials investigated.

My boss, the l soon to be ex-Minister of Tourism, Rechavam Ze'evi, was murdered this morning [Wednesday] in the Hyatt Hotel in Jerusalem by a Tzviah Palestinian extremist group. Idan I believe that Arafat has finally reached our "redline" with this latest outrage. If he doesn't take definite action, even George W. won't be able to convince Israeli citizens and politicians that Arafat is a partner in peace, no matter how much he twists our arms. Just two days ago my new Events magazine arrived, complete with the photo of him [Ze-evi] I chose on the inside cover and the greeting that I wrote for him and he approved. It's definitely the last official Ministry publication with his signature on it. "Ghandi" was a soldier statesman — real salt-of-the-Earth type, warm heart, interested in everything, and a quick study about tourism. He will be missed.

Jews are not overreacting, activists say, but are mindful of history. There were a rash of letter-bombs aimed at Jewish leaders in the 1970s and 1980s, the height of the movement to free Soviet Jews, said Myrna Shinbaum, spokeswoman for the Anti- Defamation League. "Everyone wants to be safe rather than sorry," Shinbaum said. "It's more prudent to implement the safety proto- cols beforehand than to wait until you get the threat." Jewish organizations and institutions should be vigilant, but care- ful not to go overboard, activists say. "There's no indication Jews are spe- cial targets, but that doesn't mean we're not vulnerable," Hoenlein said. "We should take every necessary precaution, but not allow ourselves to be diverted from our work or paralyzed by fear." .41 bu LENIN'S BEAUTY SUPPLY 40 YOUR COMPLETE BEAUTY STORE Come see owt LAI2c1k) For the latest Mideast news, log on to wwvv.detroitjevvishnews.corn g clithkett Cosmetics • Discount designer fragrances for men and women • Polish from OPI, ESSIE, CHINA GLAZE, REVLON, LOREAL • Nail strengtheners from NAILTIQUES, Q - TICA, DABU, REJUVACOTE • Dryers from ELCHIM, SOLANO, CONAIR • Hair straightners from SOLANO and HOT TOOLS • Full line of AHAVA products • Professional hair care products • Discount skin care from LANCOME, ESTEE LAUDER, CLARINS • QAP.0 QAt miscount cPktee • WEST BLOOMFIELD OAK PARK 851-7323 547-9669 Orchard Lake Rd. in the West Bloomfield Plaza 24695 Coolidge at 10 Mile Rd. .
