Jews, Arabs lock arms
to stop Kahane’s visit
United Press International
UMM EL FAHM, Israel — Police
prevented militant U.S.-born Rabbi
Meir Kahane and dozens of his
armed followers from entering Is
rael’s largest Arab village Wednes
day as some 4,GOO Jews and Arabs
locked arms to form a human chain
and vowed to stop “Adolf Kahane.”
Ten policemen were injured
when a small group of Arab youths
began hurling stones at them,
prompting off icers to fire tear gas.
Police said no other violence was
reported in the Arab village of Umm
el Fahm, 40 miles northeast of Tel
Aviv, where the mayor had warned
of bloodshed if the Brooklyn-born
Kahane was permitted to enter.
Kahane, who won a seat in the Is
raeli parliament or Knesset last
month on a platform to deport 2
million Arabs living in Israel and its
occupied territories, went to Umm el
Fahm to tell its residents to leave Is
rael forever. Umm el Fahm is Is
rael’s largest Arab village, with
25,000 residents.
Acting on orders of police Com
missioner Aryeh Ivtzan, officers
stopped Kahane and three buses
carrying dozens of his followers at a
roadblock about two miles from the
village.
Kahane then set out on foot for
Umm el Fahm, which he called “a
Jewish village that is temporarily in
habited by Arabs.”
Hundreds of Jews traveled to
Umm el Fahm and joined hands
with Arabs to protest Kahane’s visit
in the biggest show of Israeli solidar
ity with Arabs since a wave of anger
swept the nation after the 1982 Bei
rut massacre of Palestinians by Is
raeli-backed Lebanese Christian mi
litia.
Fruit growers
blast Mexico
import plan
United Press International
ORLANDO, Fla. — A plan to al
low Mexican limes into the United
States from certain “canker-free”
zones drew heavy opposition from
Florida citrus growers who said the
imports would threaten U.S. groves
with disease.
“The U.S. should embargo all cit
rus from Mexico until the canker is
eradicated,” said Diego Rodriguez,
who grows limes in Dade County.
The current outbreak of citrus
canker, an incurable bacterial dis
ease, affects only Key limes, a small
variety that grows wild in the Florida
Keys. Florida has about 7,300 acres
of limes, mostly in south Florida.
It was discovered in Colima, Mex
ico, two years ago and has spread to
other areas of Mexico, mostly on the
Pacific coast. The United States has
banned imports from infected areas.
The only way to stop the spread of
the disease is to uproot trees and
burn them. The last outbreak in the
United States occurred in 1912 and
lasted 19 years. Florida growers had
to destroy 3.2 million trees.
Florida officials told U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture officials Tues
day, at the first of two public hear
ings, that Mexico has not taken
sufficiently drastic steps to halt the
spread.
“There is a clear and present dan
ger to Florida citrus,” said Salvatore
Alfieri, director of the Florida De
partment of Agriculture plant divi
sion.
No matter what plan is adopted,
USD A officials have said they will re
quire all Mexican citrus to be dipped
in a bath of chlorine to kill surface
bacteria.
Felipe Romero, an official with
the Mexican agriculture depart
ment, also opposed the plan. Ro
mero said restrictive shipping zones
are unnecessary because Mexico’s
major citrus growing areas are can
ker free.
The USDA plans a second hear
ing Friday in San Antonio.
