A fr h Bll f Prculr hr wr lvn lvn ncldng h llwng: This BET DIN notes that, in the International arena Kissinger knew no bounds in his attempts at destroying the Jewish State ether it was was pre venting srael to initiate a reventative strike during the Yom Kipur War or holding up their milita suplies contributing to the deaths of thou sandss of sand of Jewish Jewish soldier soldierss or holding up the Jewish Nation to the world as INRANSIGENTS AND INFEX IBE. This BE DIN takes note that in addition to Hen Kissinger being a threat to the Jewish future in his con duct with resect to srael he is also pursuing a policy of destruction of Jews and Jewish values in his public and personal life In his role as Secre ta of State he has publicly pursued a policy of dtente" to such an extent extent as to endanger Soviet Jew by openly oposing amendments to the ade Bill with Russia which would free So viet Jew from ersecution Furthermore in his pursuits of ap peasemen peas ementt via dtent dtente" e" we find him weakening the greatest free count in the world the SA thus endanger ing Jews worldwide; for Judaism and Communism are antitheses; Commu nism indeed is in battle to destroy Judaism as the mother religion of all Monotheistic faiths which it considers to be The Opiates of the Peole *Sefah s a po of moug bw Passoe a etecost whe maage s ohbte

We have also investigated and found that Hen Kissinger in his ri vate life having been raised and edu cated as a religious Jew, in his later youth began to tu agaist Judaism eating nonkosher food behind his par ents' bak and then retrogressing to other ats of irreligious and immoral conduct; to finally maring out of the faith on the Sabbath Day during Se firah * Not being satisfied in violating Halacha enmasse himself, he at temted to coerce other Jews to trans gress their faith as in issuing a di rective to all Jewish personnel at the State Department to violate the most sacred Jewish Holidays Holidays Yom Kiur and Rosh Hashaa by forbidding them to take off His life style manifests a complete repudiation of ethical, ob servant and believing Judaism Aside from the rima issue f sanctity of the Land of srael and its covenantal status, this BET DIN holds it to be self-evident that not only can World Jew or Jewish Law never rec ognize an entity called Palest Palestinians inians and their spurious claims to the AND but intriic to their pei cious claims the they y are to be regarded as an enemy of the Jewish peole Fur thermore, their reresentatives the so called Palest Palestinian inian Liberation Liberation Organi zation," by virtue of their most hei nous and ignoble acts of terror against defenseless men, women, and children of the Jewish peole are in the cate go of Amalekites Of these Amale kites our TORAH teaches that The Lord will be at war with Amalek throughout the ages (Exodus 716) The Reiew Of The NWS, Noebe 3 176
