Panelist, Michelle Falar-deau-Ramsay, deputy chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, told the audience that "although there are fewer overt incidents of racism today than in the past, that is small comfort for victims."
"The methods of racists are nasty and painful," Falardeau-Ramsay pointed out. "They are recruiting young people to their cause with hate propaganda circulating in the school yard."

"At the same time, we need to take steps against the hate messages showing up via computer," she stressed.
Falardeau-Ramsay said that much of today's racism is difficult to detect because it is so subtle. "There are still plenty of almost invisible barriers to people considered to be outsiders.
Prof. Bill Black of UBC's law faculty opined that mechanisms for protecting human rights haven't kept up with changing societal values and attitudes.
Black, as special advisor to the B.C. Minister Responsible for Human Rights, is conducting a review of the B.C. Human Rights Act.
He noted some of the concerns which he had heard during hearings around the province including a need for more information and educational programs, and a need for improved access to
the human rights system.
Other concerns, which, he noted, will probably appear in his report, include the need for additional support for complainants and the need for a public agency with a full range of powers to speak out on human rights issues.
Moderator of the session was Justice Rosalie Silber-man Abella, Judge of the Court of Appeal of Ontario.
The panelists were thanked by Hal Joffe, chair of CJC's national community relations committee.
Delegates to the weekend conference also attended forums on: "The State of Ethnic Relations in the World — the Jewish Response"; "Vision of Western Canada: National Unity versus Regional Agenda and the Restructuring of the Canadian Mosaic"; "Israel, Diaspora and Jewish Continuity"; "The Impact of the Media on Majority-Minority Relations"; "Building Bridges in Pluralistic Society"; "Ethnicity and Politics"; and "Future Directions of our Ethnic Communities — building community leadership."

NEW YORK (JTA) Samuel Merlin, a member of Israel's first Knesset and the director of the Institute for Mediterranean Affairs, a think tank, died here Oct. 4 following a long illness. He was 84.
Merlin, who was born in Kishinev, Moldavia, in 1910, left before the Russian province became part of the Soviet Union. He lived in France, where he graduated from the Sorbonne with a degree in modern history.
In 1938, he joined a group of young Palestinian Jews who were in Europe to rescue Jews from the Nazis and spirit them to Palestine through the British blockade.
He became secretary to Vladimir Jabotinsky, the Zionist leader who sponsored the effort.
Merlin spoke and wrote in French, Russian, Polish, Hebrew and several other languages, but he barely knew English. However, within a few years he had become a prolific writer in the language, authoring pamphlets and books, such as "The Search for Peace in the Middle East," "The Big Powers" and "The Present Crisis."
Merlin was part of an effort to create an army of stateless and Palestinian Jews to fight the Nazis under the Allied command. The group successfully lobbied for the appointment by President Roosevelt of the War Refugee Board and tried to bring about recognition of Jewish Palestine as a sovereign state.
They created the Hebrew Committee of National Liberation, and Merlin became sercetary-general of the group.
In 1948, when Israel got its independence. Merlin was elected a member of the first Knesset. But he soon resigned over differences with the Herut party leadership.

partisan units in forests. Israel's operation into Entebbe to rescue the hostages in Uganda is another example of modern heroism.
The revolt of the Hasmoneans is the symbol of the spirit expres.sed today by Zionism. Today, in Western society, no tyrant is forcing us to abandon our faith and worship strange gods, but the Jews are still in great danger of losing their identity in the Diaspora. Hellenism, in a different but insidious form, is alive and well today.
To prevent our doing to ourselves what tyrants failed to impose on us, we must cling to our own heritage, customs and faith. Chanuka has broad human significance as a festival of liberty and religious freedom — not just for us but for ail peoples. It is a humanistic festival par excellence.
The symbol of Chanuka is light and the real miracle is that, despite millenia of persecution and dispersion, the light of our people has never been extinguished.

plenum was visibly moved was when Clinton addressed the parents of slain Sgt. Nahshon Wachsman, seated in the first row of the balcony. He referred to their son as "a son of your nation and, I am proud to say, a citizen of our own."
Clinton's presence also elicited a degree of graciousness not often seen in the Knesset.
The graciousness was evident when opposition MKs shook Rabin's hand after he delivered his speech: when Binyamin Netanyahu praised Rabin from the podium for the peace agreement with Jordan; and when Netanyahu was applauded by the cabinet ministers at the conclusion of his address.
