world Law School Criticized On Palestinian Event SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — A Bay Area law school is under fire for withdrawing its sup- port of a Palestinian rights conference on its campus. Officials at the University of California at Hastings College of the Law revealed that they had made a last-minute decision to remove the school's name from "Litigating Palestine," a conference devoted to using the courts to promote Palestinian rights. At a March 24 meeting, the school's board of directors also canceled a welcom- ing speech by the university dean scheduled for the next morning, when the two-day conference opened. The decision followed a March 21 meet- ing between the board and representatives of the Anti-Defamation League and San Francisco's Jewish Community Relations Council, both of which asked the school to withdraw its sponsorship and cancel the dean's speech. Rabbi Doug Kahn, the JCRC's executive director, told school officials that the con- ference was one-sided and "an anti-Israel political organizing conference using law as a weapon." UC Hastings Professor George Bisharat, a conference organizer, said the criticism was misguided, that it was a conference to train lawyers on how to defend Palestinian rights, not a political gathering to debate those rights. "If you had a conference on Holocaust reparation cases, you wouldn't include Holocaust deniers," Bisharat told reporters. Nearly all the university's tenured profes- sors signed a letter protesting the board's decision, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The directors, who are appointed by the governor of California, had no com- ment. Migrant Mothers Can Stay In Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's Interior Ministry cannot deport migrant workers three months after they have given birth, the country's Supreme Court ruled. According to the voided regulation, a migrant worker who is residing legally in Israel will lose her permit should she become pregnant or give birth; and she must leave the country and may only return without her newborn. Justice Ayala Procaccia wrote, "Forcing a woman to choose between her employ- ment, while realizing her legitimate eco- nomic expectations, and her right to moth- erhood, does not settle with the ethical and legal-constitutional perceptions of Israeli society!' The current regulation, said the verdict, "is infringing on the foreign worker's con- stitutional right to parenthood." In 2005, the petition against the regula- tion was submitted by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Kay Laoved, Hotline for Migrant Workers, Naamat and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel. Last month, Israel began deporting migrant workers residing illegally in Israel. Two women from the Philippines and their two babies were arrested and taken to a detainment facility at Ben-Gurion Airport. They were deported less than three days later. Bibi Halts Talks On East Jerusalem JERUSALEM (JTA) — Discussions on new construction in eastern Jerusalem have been postponed, reportedly due to pressure from the Prime Minister's Office. The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee tabled its talks sched- uled for last week on projects to build nearly 1,000 apartments in Har Homa and 600 in Pisgat Ze'ev until May 5, Haaretz reported. Discussions on building 942 housing units in the Gilo neighborhood and another 180 in Ramot also were postponed, accord- ing to Ynet. The move came ahead of a meeting of the Mideast Quartet — the United States, European Union, Russia and the United Nations. Rabbis Involved In Molestation Case NEW YORK (JTA) — A Brooklyn rabbi was arrested and is facing charges of perjury in a child molestation case involving another rabbi. Rabbi Samuel Kellner, who was arrested April 12, is accused of paying a witness in the case of Rabbi Baruch Lebovits, who was sentenced to up to 32 years in prison for a child molestation conviction. Kellner sup- posedly paid to have the witness say that he also was abused by Lebovits, according to several reports. On April 14, the appellate division of the New York State Supreme Court ruled that Lebovits should be freed from prison on bail and remain under house arrest pend- ing the outcome of his appeal. Kellner is accused of trying to extort more than $400,000 from Lebovits after hearing that another youth had made sexu- al abuse charges against the rabbi.
