Jewish than a vote against

He continued, "What dis-
turbed us, however, was the
injection into the debate of
non-relevant, even mean-
spirited innuendo. When a
former President of the
United States (Richard Ni-
xon) attributes opposition to
the Prime Minister (of Is-
rael) and American Jews,
this tack, plainly said, pulls
the cork, lets loose the genie
of anti-Semitism and its
crony, 'dual loyalty.' "

Perlmutter declared that
"any injection of anti-
Semitism into an American
public debate, on any issue,
is abhorrent and should be
promptly and resolutely
condemned."
Perlmutter also ex-

Furthermore, the ADL of-
ficial said, those critical of
Israel or Jews "ignored the
pre-AWACS campaign
waged by what President
Eisenhower once called the
'military-industrial com-
plex' and the effort to pro-
mote the sale by large
American corporations with
links to financial interests
in Saudi Arabia."
The ADL survey revealed
that the 72 Senators had re-
ceived approximately
166,000 pieces of mail, of
which some 15,000 spoke of
Israeli - "interference" and
3,300 contained anti-
Semitic references.

and why they resent his say-
ing this implies a "willing-
ness to negotiate." A senior
Washington official told the
Times' Bernard Gwertzman
that he could not remember
"when the Israelis have
been so excitable and so
sensitive about everything;
I can't rule out the possibil-
ity that they might do any-
thing."
Might they really? And is
their fever really so mys-
tifying?
The Israelis have wit-
nessed the murder of the
one Arab leader who ac-
cepted their existence
with a peace process that
provided for their secu-
rity. They have seen the
United States put a
higher value on Saudi
Arabia's good will than
on Israelis peace of
mind.
They have heard two
former American
Presidents vindicate the
tactics of their implacable
foes in the PLO and they
have watched Western
Europe join the "rejec-
tionist - Arabs who pro-
nounce Camp David a fail-
ure.
Are they only hallucinat-
ing, then, when they see the
whole world rushing to ex-
change their security for
petrodollars? President Re-
agan keeps hunting for
merit in the Saudi demand
for a Palestinian state
headquartered in
Jerusalem, but not once in
10 months has he even im-
plied what kind of deal he
himself favors. And now he
has allowed a jumble of
American inferences about
what the Saudis are imply-
ing call into question the
historic treaties and proc-
esses of Camp David.
So Prime Minister Begin
— whose desire to annex the
West Bank would in fact be
served by a diplomatic
breakdown — threatens the
world with three retalia-
tions.
One is to defer the
scheduled final evacua-
tion of Sinai in April.
That is not a credible
threat. Israel must cling
to the Camp David terms,
not just to preserve a val-
uable peace with Egypt
but also to ward off more
radical West Bank pro-
posals and procedures.
say, reduced American aid,
and isolate Israel yet more.
The third threat is the
most potent: declare an
emergency and, in a burst of
panicky jingoism, form a
national coalition govern: -
ment. Such a coalition
might not say no to every-
thing, but it could not effec-
tively say yes to anything
more. Thus for the price of a
few ministerial jobs to
Labor, Mr. Begin could
complete the deal with
Egypt — and then im-
mobilize Israel's diplomacy
for years to come.
What is the wise Ameri-
can approach now? Clearly,
not to deride the Israelis'
fever, but to treat it.
That anxious nation de-
serves finally to know what
further deals the Reagan
Administration aims to
achieve and what conces-
sions it will next seek from
all sides. Above all,
America should not be
straying from its own Camp
David medicine.
It is the Camp David
treaties that commit Is-
rael to something called
"full autonomy" for
Palestinians in the West
Bank — and a five-year
freeze on deciding its
sovereignty. For all his
obvious efforts to wriggle
off, Mr. Begin is hooked
on that line; and Israel's
Labor Party positively
favors it.
Only by protecting that
commitment can Israel and
the Palestinians be
gradually brought into real
negotiations. But that won't
happen unless Mr. Reagan
persuades the Arabs who
want peace with Israel, or
alliance with America, that
it is the only opportunity to
avoid a diplomatic dead end
and more war.
Ask not why the Israelis
are burned up. Wonder why
Americans keep letting
other nurses muscle in on a
strikingly encouraging op-
eration.

Since the dates of the let-
