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. - Allan Gale Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit © Jewish Renaissance Media • April 22, 2010
