in government in Israel this year.
Khomeini would die, and after a
,'evolution in Iran, the Shah's son
I would assume power. Assad of
Syria would be finished with pub-
lic life. Israel would conduct talks
with Hussein.
, Ilan Pecker foresaw a close elec-
! tion, the two major parties run-
—,ing neck and neck, but with
Likud leading by a slim margin.
In the United States, Reagan
would drop out, and Bush would
' face Mondale in November —
with victory' to the latter. War
with Syria would break out in
June.
Soothsayers from the minor
leagues added their own forecasts
and readings. Danny Herman saw
a Labor victory at home, and a
new coalition headed by Peres,
which would face a stormy first
L year — a safe prediction for Israel
I during any year. In general, 1984
--would not be marked by anything
unusually critical, he said.
Tamir Amitay was confident
that Israel would make a rich oil
strike during the year, and
,presumably bought heavily in oil
stocks as a mark of confidence in
phis own prognosis.
In summary, the record was
about as bad this year as last.
some readers may recall that
even without references to Pluto,
Mars or Saturn, we last year put
into print our own prophecies. We
foresaw violent confrontation be-
tween secularists and religious
extremists in Israel, as indeed
4- here were. Yitzhak Navon would
not take over leadership of the
Labor Party, as indeed he did not.
There would be a wave of strikes,
as there were, in the postal serv-
ice, the ports, - railway, civil serv-
ice and teachers, among others.
On other matters we can line up
tn shame alongside the profes-
sional astrologers. We were cer-
tain that economic conditions
would improve; that there would
be a marked upturn in immigra-
tion to Israel from the free West;
that a major technological break-
through by Israeli scientists
would make headlines
everywhere. However, we were
right when we proclaimed that no
Israeli would win a Nobel Prize
this year.
We turn in our crystal ball.
Predicting is for the professionals.
At least we didn't do any worse
- than they did.
