ROUNDUP
ROUNDUP from page 11
Volcanic Ash Effects
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Some 300
flights to and from Ben-Gurion
International Airport have been can-
celed in the wake of a volcano erup-
tion in Iceland.
As of Monday, about 48,000 people
traveling between Israel and Europe
have been stranded, including at least
20,000 Israelis.
The ash on Monday also for the
first time prevented a flight from
North America from taking off for
Israel, Haaretz reported.
More than 6.8 million passengers
have been affected by the grounding
of flights since the volcano under
Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier
erupted on April 14 for the second
time in less than a month, sending
a cloud of volcanic ash spreading
across Europe.
About one-third the number of
regular flights took off on Monday
in European airspace, according to
reports. About 28,000 flights take off
on a typical Monday.
Israel's Transportation Minister
Yisrael Katz called on Israeli air-
lines to do everything possible to
bring stranded Israelis home. Israeli
airlines were set to travel to any
European destination from which
flights to Israel are allowed to leave in
order to retrieve Israeli travelers, Ynet
reported.
Tony Blair, the Quartet representa-
tive to the Middle East, remained
stranded in Jerusalem over the week-
end, disrupting his plans for general
election campaigning in Britain, the
French news agency AFP reported.
The flight disruptions caused by
the volcanic ash also led to the cancel-
lation of a meeting of the Congress
of Russian Rabbis, which also was to
include rabbis from Europe and Israel.
Neo-Nazis Beaten
LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Two neo-
Nazis were beaten and others were
pelted with eggs, rocks and bottles
during a rally in front of Los Angeles
City Hall.
The attacks came as African-
American, Latino, Jewish and
immigrant-rights groups joined in
countering a rally Saturday by some
40 members of the National Socialist
Movement.
The Detroit-based neo-Nazi group
had received a permit for the demon-
stration and was protected by police,
which called a tactical alert as the con-
frontation heated up.
Wearing swastikas and shouting
"Sieg Heil," the demonstrators aimed
their slogans and placards mainly
against illegal immigrants, though the
rally was interspersed with racist and
anti-Semitic outbursts.
One of the beaten demonstrators
carried a sign reading "Christianity=
Paganism=Heathen$" with an arrow
pointing to a swastika. He and the
other beaten man were treated and
released.
An estimated 500 counter-demon-
strators arrived from throughout the
region and pursued the neo-Nazis as
they retreated toward the parking lot
where they had parked their cars.
One neo-Nazi demonstrator was
unable to start his car and could not
fend off flying bottles and rocks. He
and his cohorts held swastika-embla-
zoned placards over their heads for
protection, The Los Angeles Times
reported.
Police arrested, and later released,
five of the counter-demonstrators.
Sweet Business Deal
JERUSALEM (JTA) — An Israeli
candy company has signed a contract
with Wal-Mart to provide chocolate
coins for Christmas.
Carmit Candy Industries Ltd. has
received an order for Christmas 2010
for $500,000, the Israeli business
daily Globes reported.
Carmit had sales of $8 million in
the United States in 2009.
Answering
Israel's Critics
The Charge
Mohamed ElBaradei, former chief
of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, said last week that he sup-
ports "resistance" (violence) as the
only path open to the Palestinian
people.
The Answer
ElBaradei is a likely future presi-
dential candidate in Egypt, so it is
disappointing to hear him endorse
violence, especially as he is a politi-
cian in a country that has a peace
treaty with Israel.
