`No Time to Despair'
The Jews gave to the world
its three greatest religions,
reverence for law, and the
highest conceptions of moral-
ity . . _. Our teaching of
brotherhood and righteous-
ness has, under the name of
democracy and social justice,
become the 20th Century
striving of America and of
western Europe. Our concep-
tion of law is embodied in the
American Constitution which
proclaims this to be a "gov-
ernment of laws and not of
men." And for the triumph
of our other great teaching
—the doctrine of peace—this
cruel war is paving the way.
While every other people
is striving for development
by asserting its nationality,
and a great war is making
clear the value of small na-
tions, shall we voluntarily
yield to anti-Semitism, and
instead of solving our "prob-
lem" end it by ignoble sui-
cide? Surely this is no time
for Jews to despair. Let us
make clear to the world that
we, too, are ,a nationality
striving for- equal rights, to
life and to self-expression.—
Louis D. Brandeis, in "The
Jewish Problem," written
during World War T.

Dayan, Now Israel's Political Riddle,
Seen Resuming Leadership in Crisis
By UZI BENZIMAN
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
JERUSALEM—Israel's po-
litical community is carefully
observing Moshe Dayan's
steps. Since the resignation
of ,Golda 'Meir's cabinet,
Dayan has not actively taken
part in the political life; he
spends much of his time in
writing his autobiography.
But Israeli politicians do not
believe that the former de-
fense minister will spend his
time writing books forever.
The common assumption is
that Dayan's political career
has not yet ended. "He will
return to the arena," Israeli
politicians like to say,
"though he will bide his time
and choose his moment."
One mooted theory says
that Dayan will return to the
political scene against the
background of a severe na-
tional crisis. His followers
speculate on the possibility
that hostilities will erupt
again in the Middle East.
They believe that—as in 1967
. : —the nation would call Dayan
to take over the defense min-
istry in that event.
One may doubt if history
repeats itself so precisely. It
seems more reasonable to
visualize Dayan's return

internal dispute on the future
of Judea and Samaria — the
West Bank.
Since the formation of
Yitzhak Rabin's cabine t,
Dayan has addressed the
Knesset twice. On both occa-
sions he expressed his views
on what the cabinet should do
with the West Bank. He
urged strengthening the Is-
raeli presence in Judea and
Samaria by settling unpopu-
lated areas.
His addresses were inter-
preted by political observers
as implied criticism of the
cabinet's policy of 'hesitant
and restricted settlement in
defined areas of the West
Bank. While Shimon Peres,
his ex-Rafi lieutenant and
the present defense minister,
objected to the idea of Jewish
settlement in Samaria, the
former defense minister en-
couraged such a move.
Responding to Prime Min-
ister Rabin, who had said he
would not mind if he needed
a visa to visit the Israeli
settlement of the Etzion
Bloc (between Bethlehem
and Hebron) Dayan declared
pointedly in his speech in the
Knesset: "I am sure that
everyone here believes that
the Etzion region is ours."
(Rabin . subsequently ex-
plained that he hadn't meant
what 'he said in his "visa"
remark.)
Dayan's possible attempt to
return to the political scene
raises the question of his
political power potential.
Throughout 'his career Dayan
has failed to gather around
himself sufficient political
support. He was always a
loner. He is now a member
of the Labor Party, nomi-
nally the leader of the ex-
Rafi faction with its seven
Knesseters.
Theoretically, Dayan could
head a rightist cabinet with
Rafi support. In such an
eventuality the cabinet would
consist of the Likud Bloc
(39 MKs), the National Re-
ligious Party (10 MKs),
the Aguda Religious Front (5
MKs), and Rafi (7 MKs).
Dayan's supporters believe
that such a Cabinet would be
supported even by several
other MKs of the Labor
Party.
But that speculation is prob-
ably based on a wrong cardi-
nal assumption. There is no
evidence that . Rafi would
back Dayan in a split with
Labor. Two of the leaders of
Rafi (Shimon Peres and Gad
Yaacobi) are now members
in Rabin's cabinet. It would
be far-fetched to believe that
they would relinquish their
posts in order to join Dayan
in a political gamble. Another
Rafi Knesseter, Yitzhak Na-
von, is closer to the Labor
doves than to Dayan in his
views on the future of the
West Bank.
Dayan is not a man to seek
power and leadership for
their own sakes. He would
probably strike out on his
own, marshalling whatever
political forces were avail-
able only in the event of a
major policy decision on the
West Bank issue to which he
could not reconcile himself.
For the present, such a
decision does not seem im-
mediately imminent. Mean-
while, Dayan's political fu-
ture continues of be one of
the most fascinating and
talked-about riddles on the
Israeli political scene.
