L.A. Lawsuit OK
Prewar Books Reprinted
Los Angeles/JTA — Three U.S. fami-
lies whose children were shot by a
white supremacist can sue the makers
of the weapons used.
The ruling by the 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals in San Francisco
was greeted with relief by the three
families, whose children were shot
during the 1999 attack on a Jewish
community center, and by the moth-,
er of mailman Joseph Ileto, who was
slain by the same gunman in a sepa-
rate attack.
The suit grew out of the Aug. 10,
1999 attack by Buford Furrow Jr. at
the North Valley Jewish Community
Center in suburban Los Angeles,
which left three children, one teenag-
er and one adult wounded.
New York/JTA — Some 700 books
from prewar Eastern European Jewry
have been reprinted, thanks to the
National Yiddish Book Center.
The books depict daily Jewish life
before the Holocaust through maps,
illustrations, photos and Yiddish and
Hebrew text. Many contain lists of
townspeople murdered by the Nazis.
The books are available online at

Saudis Close Charities
Washington/JTA — Saudi Arabia is
consolidating its international chari-
ties into a government-supervised
commission in order to cut links to
terrorism.
Adel Al-Jubeir, a foreign affairs
adviser to Saudi Crown Prince
Abdullah, said in Washington that
his country's largest charity, Al-
Haramainm Islamic Foundation, will
be dissolved.
American Jewish grdups have been
pushing Saudi Arabia to cut its links
to charities that help fund terrorist
organizations that target Israel, and
the Bush administration has been
concerned about the financing of Al-
Qaida from Saudi Arabia.
The new Saudi commission will be
subject to strict government over-
sight.

French Comic Exonerated
Paris/JTA — A French comedian who
performed a sketch dressed as a fer-
vently Orthodox Jew making a Nazi
salute was not guilty of racial incite-
ment, a Paris court said.
Dieudonn, M'Bala M'Bala had
not attempted to represent all Jews,
the court found May 27, but rather
"uniquely, a certain category of peo-
ple in the expression of their political
views."
The case had been brought by a
number of Jewish and anti-racist
organizations after Dieudonn per-
formed the sketch on live television
in November 2003. The groups said
they would appeal.
Dieudonn was still found guilty of
racial incitement and fined $6,000 by
a court in the south of France for an
interview earlier this year in which he
said that "Jews run a very powerful
lobby and control the media."
