I explained to them that basically only Jews were reading this newsgroup and they said OK. They didn't want a lot of discussion on the net, however. I have a feeling that the whole operation of bringing Jews out itself was supposed to be "secret." Not only that Israel was doing it, but that monies were being collected for Israel and that in general it was getting to be a big thing. -- ==> Ephrayim J.
