Jerusalem comes last.
The scuttle diplomacy of
Edmund Muskie has
changed that, with lots of
help from Menahem Be-
gin.
Jerusalem now comes
first — and so the talks may
never get to last. This may
be a way of getting them
back to Geneva, where the
State Department left its
heart in 1977. The decision
of the American govern-
ment to permit Jerusalem
to be restored so early to the
agenda represents nothing
less than a:1-0,11714d e6 pol-
. icy of a comprehensive set-
'dement, a chimera to which
the present administration
has always been committed.
This policy can undo all
that Anwar Sadat started.
Sadat, no doubt, was de-
lighted to be free for a while
from Islam's wrath, but he
must see that this way lies
great danger to his designs
as well.

This smooth bit of Ameri-
can treachery at the UN
was not entirely a surprise.
The United States, after 31
years, has not even recog-
nized West Jerusalem as Is-
rael's capital. Moreover, the
abstention was a perfect ex-
pression of Jimmy Carter's
plan for Jerusalem. The
plans had become plain only
a few days earlier at Car-
ter's convention.
The platform adopted
by the Democrats forth-
rightly supported "the
established status of
Jerusalem as the capital
of Israel," and pledged
that the United States
would move its embassy
there. The president
could not live with this
plank. The memorandum
he sent to the Garden
conceded no more than
an "undivided
Jerusalem" and con-
cluded that "it has been
and it must remain our
policy that the ultimate
status of Jerusalem
should be a matter of
negotiation between par-
ties."
Carter's statement about
"negotiations between the
parties" is another version
of the more common coinage
employed by the abstaining
Muskie: "We have
encouraged all parties to re-
frain from unilateral ac-
tions which seek to change
the character and status of
Jerusalem." There have
been several such unilat-
eral actions to change
Jerusalem's status.
The first came in 1948,
when Jordan failed to de-
stroy Israel but won the old
city. The second came in
1967, when Jordan failed to
destroy Israel but lost the
old city. The Zionists had
agreed that in the partition
of Palestine, Jerusalem
would be an international
zone, and never in the
period between 1948 and
1967 did the Israelis at-
tempt to unify the city, to
open its holy places to Jews,
to act upon their historical
rights. (And never in that
period was the United Na-
tions or the State Depart-
ment enraged by the Jorda-
nian occupation.)
The Jews eventually
seized Jerusalem only to
save their lives. They never
have denied its mosques to
Moslems. But if the Arabs
wanted so desperately to be
sovereign over East
Jerusalem, they should
never have started the
Six-Day War. They should
have quit while they were
ahead.
Carter and his dip-
lomats are indifferent to
all this history. They do
not, therefore, com-
prehend the concessions
that Israel already has
made, and will continue
to make. Israel is return-
ing the Sinai and will re-
turn most of the West
Bank, but not because
the territories were
seized in a war ...
The Israeli occupation is
owed entirely to the Arab
aggression. But the Israelis
will exchange what they
won but never wanted for
what they wanted but never
won. They will exchange
the territories for peace, and
only their own desire for
peace will coerce them to do
so.
The Israelis have chosen
not to return Jerusalem.
That is the privilege of vic-
tors, as Jordanians and
Russians can testify. Jewish
sovereignty over Jerusalem
has violated not a single
human or religious right.
Access to the city's holy
places, which the President
and the Pope insist must be
free, has never been freer.
Jewish sovereignty over
Jerusalem is the only price
the Arabs have paid for
their failure, the sole spoils
the Jewish state will have
gained for successfully re-
fusing to be destroyed. The
Jewish passion for
Jerusalem, the Jewish
right, the Jewish cause, is a
fact of life. The sooner the
Arabs and we Americans
recognize that fact the bet-
ter.
