The Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University yesterday responded to the explosion of the Swiss jet airliner by condemning the Arab terrorists for their “dastardly conduct” and called upon “all welfare organizations that support Arab refugee camps to withdraw support unless firm guarantees are given that the camps will not be used for training in hatred and violence.” A statement issued by Monseignor John Oesterreicher, director of the Institute, Father John Flannery, co-director, and the entire staff of the Institute, expressed “pain and horror in our hearts” at the “brutal deeds of Arab terrorists against civilians in no way involved in the Arab-Israel conflict.”
