HAVING A RELIGIOUS JEW ASSASSINATE MY Prime Minister was my worst nightmare. It's clear to me that although the holiness of the land of Israel has an important value, it certainly does not outweigh the importance of Jewish unity or of the Commandment that states "Thou shalt not kill." I am a right-wing, religious, Jewish Israeli, and though I represent only my personal views, I think they are shared by many others. I oppose the Oslo accords (which expand Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank) for a simple reason: Israel is compromising the personal security of many...
...opposition Likud, psychological compatriot of the extremists in its dislike of the peace plan, was fomenting an atmosphere of violence. Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the assassination, saying "We must vomit from among us those who do not abide by one of the most basic rules of society: Thou shalt not kill." But he reaffirmed his virulent opposition to the peace process, showing no signs of conciliation...
...good-humored, Father Knows Best for the 1990s. (In Indiana he is strongly supported by women 18 to 35.) At a time in the national political debate when all sides bemoan lack of civility, Lugar is civility itself. "I propose a new Republican commandment," he frequently asserts. "Thou shalt not speak ill of other Americans." And while he is philosophically conservative (he voted with Ronald Reagan more than any other Senator), Lugar, in his quiet way, offers some of the boldest proposals--indeed the single most revolutionary one--of all the Republican candidates for President...
...first film in the series--centered upon the First Commandment, "I am the Lord thy God, and thou shalt have no other God but me," --is a haunting examination of faith. An atheistic father has a quasi-religious faith in technology, while his bright young son, Pavel, shows a precocious aptitude for computers. Pavel's mother is working abroad, and he is caught between his father's influence and that of his Catholic aunt. Although fascinated with computers, Pavel is still questioning; he hasn't made up his mind about God or the world. Opposing faiths...
...filmic appeal of "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is obvious; it is interesting to see what Kieslowski does with "Thou shalt not bear false witness." "Decalogue 8" is another prickly tangle of ethics. A young Jewish girl is to be temporarily adopted by a Christian couple during World War II. At the last minute, the couple changes their mind. They cannot bear false witness to the temporary "Christianization" of a Jewish girl, even by a priest, when they know that no real religious conversion has taken place. The woman who has arranged the adoption...
