Videotaped execution of U.S. Jew
may not shake commitment in Iraq
By Joe Berkofsky
NEW YORK, May 11 (JTA) The videotaped execution of an American Jewish civilian contractor in Iraq shook members of the Jewish community, but not their commitment to the war on terrorism.
It wasnt clear whether Berg was targeted because of his religion. In the video, posted on a Web site linked to Al-Qaida, Berg is seen saying, My name is Nick Berg, my fathers name is Michael, my mothers name is Susan . . . I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah.

Several Jewish leaders and military families said the incident shouldnt dissuade Jewish soldiers and civilians from serving in Iraq.
Should people think twice or should we continue this? asked Judy Ledger, whose son and daughter and their spouses all served with the U.S. military in Iraq. You do have to realize theres a danger, but the danger is no more if youre in the military than if there is a hate crime in the United States.
Several sources said Bergs murder as well as Tuesdays videotaped killing of six Israeli soldiers by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip should deepen the commitment of Jews and other Americans to the war on terrorism.
This is an evil force that has no moral compunction at all, said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

Friday, 6pm, SE corner of Ventura Blvd at Laurel Canyon in Studio City There are plenty of hard core bad guys on the NE corner. Their group is getting larger again, so we need help. Rally lasts about 1hr 45 min. and then we go to dinner.
Sunday, 5pm, SE corner of Victory Blvd at Topanga Canyon in Woodland Hills. Lots of parking. Rally lasts about 1 1/2 hours and then we go to dinner.
