MONTREAL (JTA) — Is
rael proposed last week that
terrorist acts against airports and aircraft be treated
as an international crime
and that the perpetrators,
wherever they are, be
punished according to international law.
The proposal was contained in an eight-page document presented by the Israeli delegation at the open
ing of the 26th Assembly of
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
here. "The most important
precondition for the successful combat against terrorism
is the determination of states
to fight against terrorism
and those who support it,"
the document said.
It urged cooperation
among states in the area of
intelligence and the creation

of "well-trained anti-terrorist units which should be capable to act whenever and
wherever they are needed.
The terrorists must never be
allowed to feel safe anywhere in the world," the Israeli document said.
Israel   appears   to  have
Canada's strong support for
measures it proposes. Canadian Minister of Transport
John Crosbie said in an address to the ICAO Assembly
that "first and foremost, action is needed to close a gap
in the existing ICAO legal
framework concerning aviation security." He said there
is an obligation for every
country   to  prosecute  or
extradite perpetrators of attacks   on  airports   or  hijackers of aircraft.

Plain of Arafat. The proceedings were broadcast live
in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain,
Oman and elsewhere. They
were  also  translated into
English, French, Urdu, Persian,  Indonesian,  Somali,
Turkish  and  other  languages.
The Sheikh urged the devout, who, according to the
Saudi Gazette listened with
"rapt attention," to adhere
to the Koran and to fear God.
"The fear of God by man will
have positive effects during
his lifetime and hereafter.
,  "Enemies rose up against
the  Prophet's   (Mohammed's) call, but God made
him triumph," the Sheikh's
sermon continued.
The Jews are the "enemies" of Moslem unity, the
faithful were told. The Jews

"The   animosity   of   the

according to the Sheikh. But,
he added, there is a purpose
to the struggle:  "The Al-
might created the conflict
between the right and wrong
to purify the faith of the believer."

In announcing the 1986/

the Jewish press.
This year the four-day
Moslem observance of Eid-
al-Adha fell on Aug. 16-19,
marking the end of Ramadan, the 30-day period when
the Moslem' faithful fast
from sunrise to sunset.
The festival of Eid-Al-
Adha is the time of the haj,
the pilgrimage to Mecca
which every Moslem is enjoined to make at least once
in his lifetime, circumstances permitting.
According to the Saudi Gazette, 856,718 Moslem pilgrims from 119 countries
converged for the haj on
Mecca, the holiest of holy
sites, and the proceedings
went without a hitch.
The most important ritual
of the haj is the supplication
of the faithful on the Plain of
Arafat, where the Prophet
himself delivered his last
sermon.  Temperatures
•reached 113 degrees Fahrenheit;   ambulances  roamed
the area to care for sunstroke victims.
The pilgrims' descent to
the Plain of .Arafat from the
height of Mina was supervised by King Fahd himself.
In the words of the Saudi Gazette, this was to "ensure
that everything- is running
the perfect way."
The principal sermon of
the festival was delivered by
Sheikh  Abdul  Aziz  Bin

A Newcomers Committee,
co-sponsored by the Columbus Jewish Federation and
the Leo Yassenoff Jewish
Center   and   consisting   of
William SchoUenstehi
representatives from organizations throughout the Jewish community, was recently
formed to address how the
Jewish community can be
more effective in welcoming
newcomers. Chaired by William Schottenstein, the committee met for the first time
in late August and jdecided
that a cooperative effort on
the part of Jewish organizations would be undertaken to
reach out to and inform new
Jewish members of the community.
Two  primary   projects
were discussed as possibilities for this community-wide
effort. A forum focusing on
psychological  issues  of
relocation will be further explored.  In addition, there
was much enthusiasm about
the concept of volunteers
reaching out to new residents with a packet of materials and "goodies" from the
community  organizations.
The committee also agreed
