New York/JTA Amazon.com pulled
a link that recommended users who
purchase a Haggadah aimed at
Orthodox Jews also purchase a "mes-
sianic Jewish" one. The link was
pulled Monday, following questions to
the e-retailer posed by JTA.
Before the change, the Messianic
Passover Haggadah was recommend-
ed for those visitors to the page where
the Family Haggadah: Haggadah Shel
Pesah produced by Artscroll is listed.
A spokeswoman for Amazon.com
explained that the recommendation
was originally made because the same
customers had bought those two
books.

Rome/JTA —Pope Benedict XVI
denounced global anti-Semitism.
"We cannot but denounce and fight
hatred and incomprehension, injustice
and violence that continue to sow
concern into the souls of men and
women of good faith," Pope Benedict
said Monday during his first meeting
with Rome's chief rabbi, Riccardo Di
Segni.
"How can one not be hurt and wor-
ried by the renewed displays of anti-
Semitism that sometimes appear?"

Cohen: Olympian

Los Angeles/JTA — Figure skater
Sasha Cohen is the new American
champion and will represent the
United. States at the upcoming Winter

-

Olympics. The 21-year old skater
clinched the championship on
Saturday in St. Louis after coming in
second in her last four tries. Another
Jewish skater, Emily Hughes of Great
Neck, N.Y., came in third and normal-
ly would have been named to the
Olympic team.
.
However, the judges decided to give
the spot to Michelle Kwan, who was
unable to compete because of injuries,
if she recovers sufficiently to skate in
Turin during the Feb. 10-26 Games.
Hughes was named an alternate to the
Olympic team.

mander, Tabeth Salah a-Din, was shot

rounded his hideout. The army said
troops tried to arrest him, but were
forced to resort to lethal measures
when he resisted.

Palestinian-owned stalls in the West
Bank city's markets. Witnesses said
hundreds of settlers tried to occupy
another property nearby, coming to
blows with local Palestinians.
When security forces intervened,
the violence turned on theui. Ehud
Olmert, Israel's acting prime minister,
vowed a crackdown Sunday.

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge:

Israel's intransigence, and not a lack of
democracy in the Middle East, is the
cause of conflict in the region.

The Answer:

International human rights organiza-
tions annually report that, in most of
the Arab world, there is no democracy,
political reform, tolerance toward
minorities or celebration of diversity.
There is one commonality — a united
opposition to Israel as the Jewish state.

- Allan Gale, Jewish Community Council
of Metropolitan Detroit
