JESS JA WIN: To Tell the Truth
At this writing, before TJP presstime on Wednesday, we
have witnessed two national debates by the presidential and
Vice>presidentiai candidates.
The Republicans, In both instances, have consistently at-
tached Governor Bill Clinton for "not being truthful."
That's diplomatic language short of outright calling some*
one a "liar."
Also the tactics a la Willie Horton vintage is to dramatize
Clinton as being a draft-dodger and, also with his student
trip as a Rhodes scholar to Moscow in the late 1960s, to have
been playing footsie with the Russian communists.
How ambiguous could one be?
Onion was opposed to the Vietnam War. He said so and
as an American citizen had the right to express himself and
protest in behalf of hies vie ws and opinions asiongashedidn't
hurt any fellow citizens.
Han Quayie exaggerated this characterization of Clinton
Tuesday night going instantly on the attack from where the
President ended last Sunday.
The entire strategy is to divide, decimate and then destroy
this opponent who has used his educational background at

Kohl and 2 Israelis Speak Out
Against the Neo-Nazi Violence
By David Kantor
BONN, (JT A) - As violent neo-
Nazi demonstrations against for-
eigners continue throughout Ger-
many, condemnations of the far-
right extremism are growing
louder and more prominent.
Israeli Cabinet minister joined
close to 8,000 Germans Oct 4 at
a demonstration against neo-
Nazism at the site of a Jewish
memorial destroyed by arsonists
tow weeks before.
Israeli Education Minister
Shulamit Aloni told a rally at the
site of the Sachsenhausen concen-
tration camp that widespread pro-
tests over the arson attack meant
that no Germans could claim they
did not know about right-wing vio-
lence and anti-Semitism, as they
had during the Nazi regime.
Speaking in Hebrew, Aloni said

Sachsenhausen where Jewish pris-
oners had been held cou Id not harm

German Federal and State Officials
Split on How to End Neo-Nazi Attacks
By David Kantor
BONN, (JTA) - German federal
and state officials have failed to
agree on a common approach to
curbing the recent upsurge in Neo-
Nazi violence against foreigners.
Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters
said he was disappointed that the
interior and justice ministers of the
16 German states and their federal
counterparts in Bonn could not
come up with specidic proposals at
a meeting Friday.
Seiters and some of his colleagues
from the Christian Democratic
Union favored granting police more
powers to apprehend suspects and
bring them to trial swiftly. But
most ministers from the Social
Democratic Party-ruled states sadid
the problem was not legislation but
rather lack of resolve.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, mean-
while, has angrily rejected criti-
cism by the head of Germany's
Jewish community that the gov-

that has led to the suspension of
powers of President Fernando
Collor de Mello. Both he and his
wife, Rosane Malta Collor, face
trial on corruption charges.
In mid-September, members of a
neo-Nazi group beat up two Jewish
teen-age boys wearing kipot at a
luncheonette near a Chabad facil-
ity in Santo Andre, in Greater Sao
Paulo.
The attack was carried out by
members of a group called
Skinheads - White Power. It was
reported to local police but brought
to public attention only when a
Holocaust survivor and self-styled
Nazi-hunter, Ben Abraham, con-
tacted the media and reported the
incident to them. The group is
known to foster hatred for other
groups, as well.
Six Skinheads are believed re-
sponsible for an attack Sept. 24 on
a Sao Paulo radio station with
listenership among Brazilian mi-
grants from the northeast of the
country. The attackers daubed a
wall of the station with a swastika
and slogans such as "Death to the
Northeastemers."
Two shots were Fired during the
assault, which was possibly staged
in reprisal for criticism voiced by
the station of a Sept. 17 television
documentary in which the
Skinheads called for extermination
of Jews, Northeastemers, blacks
and homosexuals.
The incident triggered the cre-
ation of a forum for action against
neo-Nazism. Participants include
the Jewish Federation of Sao Paulo,
the Order of Attorneys of Brazil,
the Commission of the Catholic
Diocese on Justice and Peace, the
National Federation of Engineers,
a major labor union and several
political parties.
The president of the Sao Paulo
Jewish Federation said the
Skinheads have a movement be-
hind them.
