	Note - It is probably a mistake for me to respond to this, and
unless Wayne posts something worth responding to I will not bother.

	Bernard Stone is perhaps the leading authority in ther world when
it comes to international law and the Middle East.  Among his writngs
in the area is "Israel and Plaestine: Assault on the laws of Nations".

	As to a specific document, this is not written by Stone, but the
Official Interpretations (This is the name of the publication given by
the international legal body responsible for interpreting the
convention.  It is not a name I made up) explictly mentions this.

	If you could read (or if you cared) you would know that I ALREADY
HAD!!!!!  If you can get to an archive site, you could even retrieve
it.

# I'm glad you're so heartily amused. The Jewish Press was Meir

	I know all about the Jewish Press.  You obviously don't.  And the
readers here do not have to take either of our words for it.  The
Jewish Press is avalaible in most cities with large Jewish populations
at stores that sell newspapers in Jewish communities.  They can judge
for themselves.

	Yep.  But that is not anywhere analogous to what the Rabbi wrote.

# See the accompanying clip quoting some of Kahane's choicer
# statements. Do you actually defend a man who would make such
# remarks?

	I will look at it, but if it is just more of the ravings of a
lunatic (YOU) or statements taken out of context, do not expect a
reply from me.

# What sort of image of Jews, Judaism and Israel does Kahanism
# present to the non-Jewish world do you think?

	Whatever the press and those elements of the Jewish "leadership"
who feared his poplarity since it took away from theirs decided to
make public.
