Kosovo Ariga is in
favor of NATO's attempt to get the Serbs to the negotiating table over
Kosovo and in favor of using force against the force used by the Milosovec
regime. Principled opposition to the use of violence when genocide is
taking place is no help at all to the situation. Yes, humans are smarter
than animals. But when they behave like animals, smarts aren't always the
best way to get them to behave like humans. March 29 1999
Ariga friend and corresondent Alan Kaufman, poet and impressario of
ideas, has opened TATOO JEW, a
highly recommended literary zine with an attitude for, by, and about Jews.

Eco-Judaism, from biblical times to the present crisis in the

Aryeh Deri's Wife
Her assurance is not so easily stirred.
If you say to her,
Yaffa, what you and your husband have done,
is
ugly, she will point to the skies and wish
you understood how true
faith in the Lord
gives strength
I am sure
that some of my
ancestors
were murdered
By people who were
just as assured.
Poem by Karen
Alkalay-Gut
