World Notes
ISRAEL
Pigheaded Protest
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Nonkosher butchers usually keep a low profile in Israel,
supplying meats to Christians and nonobservant Jews. But last
week about half a dozen butchers handed out free ham sandwiches
in downtown Jerusalem, attracting dozens of amused takers while
infuriating others.
</p>
<p> The giveaway was designed to protest a proposed ban on the
sale of pork by Jewish businesses. The pork law was one of four
concessions the government made to the small ultra-Orthodox
Agudat Israel party last week in return for a coalition
agreement. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir also promised to impose
further restrictions on abortion, curb public transportation on
the Sabbath, and outlaw certain forms of advertising deemed
obscene by religious leaders.
