JESS JA WIN: Prospectus for America
The new calendar year is well into its first week and we’ve
been thinking of the start of the forty-seventh year of your
Texas Jewish Post/the Greater Dallas and Fort Worth-
Tarrant County’s only weekly Jewish newspaper.
However Important some of the new innovations we’re
plan: ng we think that we have a more important prospec-
tus: The Prospectus For America.
Our miraculous nation has chosen a young team of
leadership for the next fou r years. President Bill Clinton and
his vice-president elect A! Gore have barnstormed the
country trying to speak to as many people on a one-to-one
basis and have also used talk and call-in shows to prioritize
the major problems facing the nation.
Their efforts have been successful by the mandate they
received in a three-way race for the highest national offices
in the world’s only superpower.
On Tuesday, Representatives and Senators took the oath
of office. Most of them p ledged i n their campaigns to relieve
the problems facing our country. Essentially the main
problems were the economy and its resultant tragedy of
unemployment, homelessness, home foreclosures and
severe escalations of personal and commercial bankrupt-
cies.

Rash of Anti-Semitic Vandalism
Strikes Paris, Strasbourg Areas
By Michel Di Paz
PARIS, (JTA) - France has
been struck with another rash of
anti-Semitic vandalism in recent
days, including the torching of
synagogues' near Paris and
Strasbourg, and the desecration
of two cemeteries in the eastern
part of the country.
In Villepinte, a suburb north
of Paris where some 160 Jewish
families live, the community’s
small synagogue was set on fire
by at least three masked people on
New Year’s Eve. They threw
firebombs at the door, then broke
a window and threw more fire-
bombs inside the building.
The furniture was destroyed, but
theTorah scrolls were spared* The
arsonists fled when neighbors
came out to see what was going
on.

10 Deportees Allowed to Return,
But Travel Route is Under Dispute
By Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Israel is
ready to take back 10 Moslem fun-
damentalists deported in error to
Lebanon, but a dispute over the
route by which they should travel
kept them stranded between Israeli
- and Lebanese - held territory.
Lebanon refused to allow them
to travel through its own territory,
insisting Israel reopen a crossing in
Israeli-controlled southern Leba-
non.
“We shall not allow die Interna-
tional Red Cross to return them
through Lebanese territory,” said
Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-
Hariri. “Israel must accept them

camp housingthe morethan 400

but no one was injured.
through the crossing point they
came from.”
The 10 were among 415 Moslem
fundamentalist activists deported
to Lebanon on Dec. 17 after the
murders of five Israeli servicemen.
Nine of the men have charges
pending against them and face trial,
a circumstance that disqualifies
them for deportation. A 10th is a
case of mistaken identity.
Israel suggested the 10 be flown
back aboard a U.N. helicopter.
The rest of the deportees, mean-
while, have rejected an offer ex-
tended by Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin to allow them to return home

Agent Killed, Civilian Wounded
In New Round of Attacks by Arabs
By Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM, (JTA) Just as
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was
proudly telling Jewish students here
that Israel was a safer place since
the expulsion last month of 415
Moslem fundamentalists, the coun-
try was plagued by three new at-
tacks against Israelis.
Separate incidents left a25-year-
old agent of the Shin Bet security
service dead in an upscale neigh-
borhood of Jerusalem and seriously
injured a Jewish carpenter at a con-
struction site in Holon, south of
Tel Aviv.
There was also an explosion
aboard a passenger bus near Petach
Tikvah, but it caused only slight
damage and no injuries.
The attacks became known Sun-
day just as Rabin was telling the
22nd Gathering and Congress of
the World Union of Jewish Stu-
dents that the expulsion of the 415
Palestinians from the administered
territories had dealt a major biow to
the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas
movement and had led to a drop in
terrorist assaults.
The Shin Bet officer, Haim
Nahmani, was found dead Sunday
afternoon in the entrance of an
apartment building on Hatibonim
Street, in the Rehavia neighbor-
hood of western Jerusalem.
He apparently had been struck
with a heavy object and stabbed all
over his body.
A police communique said only
that Nahmani was killed “during
an operational activity.”
But news reports here said he
had been killed while waiting for

Protests Over Archaeological Moves Reminiscent of Intifada’s Worst Days
. By David Landau
JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Columns
of black smoke wafting upward to
the sky Sunday reminded Jerusa-
lem residents of the bad days of the
intifada.
Stones smashing through wind-
shields, baying crowds of jostling
youths and ragged charges by ba-
ton-brandishing policemen —
these, too, seemed reminiscent of
the early months of the Palestinian
uprising.
The only difference was that this
time, the burning roadblocks were
in western Jerusalem, rather than
the Arab-dominated eastern half of
the capital — more precisely,
throughout the northwestern
reaches of the city in the solid heart-
land of fervendy Orthodox haredim.
Thousands of young haredim
took to die streets in a surge of
angry violence in the wake of a
stealthy operadon Saturday night
by archaeologists and city earth-
movSrs at a controversial building
site in downtown Jerusalem.
Their protests were triggered by
the night’s events at the Mamilla
building project, where graves
found and now demolished are al-
most certainly seventh-century
Chrisdan tombs.
B ut the day’s violence was clearly
intended as a signal of what the
''apital can expect if the city and the
Israel Antiquities Authority go
ahead with documenting and then
demolishing 2,000-year-old Jew-
ish burial caves unearthed at a ma-
jor highway building site at French
Hill, in the northern part of the city.
“The intifada itself will seem like
child’s play if that happens,”
Yehuda Meshi Zahav, a haredi ac-
tivist, vowed as he watched clashes
between haredim and police, and
between haredim and secular citi-
zens, at sites throughout the north-
west section of the city.
The day’s demonstrations left a
6-year-old hospitalized with an in-
jured eye, and several demonstra-
tors and police officers slightly hurt.
At least a dozen haredim were ar-
rested.
The main tactic of the haredim
was to push garbage carts into the
middle of busy streets and set them
on fire. The strategy had the effect
of virtually paralyzing the northern
half of the city for hours.
At the High Court of Justice,
meanwhile, Justice Aharon Barak
ordered a freeze on work at the
disputed French Hill site, pending a
full hearing on the issue in 10 days.
