NATO ground troops are necessary to end Yugoslavia’s actions against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, an ad hoc coalition including some Jewish officials said in an advertisement in Thursday’s New York Times. Among those signing the ad, which also called for the indictment of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes, were: Rabbi David Saperstein, the director of the Reform movement’s Religious Action Center: Hyman Bookbinder, director emeritus of the American Jewish Committee’s Washington office; and Morris Abram, who heads U.N. Watch, a branch of the World Jewish Congress.
