PURELY COMMENTARY
Gilbert's Classic
Continued from preceding page
erasable place in Jerusalem and
Zionist history with his opposi-
tion to the missionaries and his
emphatic deploring of Turkish
restructions on Jewish immigra-
tion. He also is described by
Prof. Gilbert as a supporter of
the Zionist ideal. Gilbert thus
delineates Wallace's important
role in the Jerusalem story:
"The 'new Jerusalem,' "
wrote the American Consul,
Edwin Wallace, in 1898,
"grows by accession from
every part of the globe. On its
streets 'all sorts and condi-
tions' of Jews and Gentiles
meet and pass one another.
They may be strangers to
each other and ignorant of
the part they are playing, but
I cannot resist the belief that
each is doing his part in
God's plan for the rebuilding
of the city and its enlarge-
ment far beyond the borders
it has occupied in the past."
Wallace also noted the atti-
tude of the Muslims of the
city. "They look," he wrote,
"with a measure of scorn
upon Jews and Christians,
and, were it not for the fi-
nancial benefit to them re-
sulting from the presence of
these representatives of de-
spised religions, would gladly
be rid of them."
Wallace wrote his observa-
tions at a time when the new
regulations against Jewish
immigration were being
rigidly enforced. "The worst
sufferers at the hands of the
officers of the law," he wrote,
"are the Jews. These people
are not wanted in this city by
the Government, and those
who have government affairs
in charge make it difficult for
them to get here and still
more difficult to remain."
Such a situation, Wallace
believed, ought to change, or
to be changed. "Once the
Turk gets over his animosity
towards his elder brother, the
Jew," he reflected, "there will
be nothing in the way of the
increase of the new city. The
Jew wants to come. He is
anxious to buy a plot of
ground and build him a home
in or near the city of his
fathers. He simply asks to be
let alone, freed from oppres-
sion and permitted to enjoy
his religion. The land of the
new city is ready for him."
Unlike Consul Finn fifty
years before, Wallace had no
missionary vision of conver-
sion and redemption through
Christianity. Instead, he un-
derstood the newly articu-
lated Zionism, launched at
Basel a few months earlier.
"The Jew has national aspi-
rations and ideas, and a na-
tional future," Wallace wrote,
and he went on to ask:
"Where, if not here, will his
aspirations be realised and
his idea carried out?"
Marton Gilbert's Jerusalem:
Rebirth of a City accounts for
the last six decades of the 19th
Century in the story of the Holy
City. There is an echo inviting
the present and the continuing
links in the final sentence of
this book:
"Jew, Arab and European,
Christian and Muslim, inhabi-
tant and visitor, had built the
city, and given it its character.
None were to find it perfect,
each was to seek to change it:
few were to leave it in peace;
but all were to cherish its gol-
den glow." There is, indeed, "a
golden glow" to this brilliantly-
researched study of the Holy
City. With it, Martin Gilbert
has enriched the historical re-
cord of an exciting period in
Jewish and world history.
Clemency Granted to III
Underground Member
Jerusalem (JTA) - President
Chaim Herzog granted clemency
to Uri Maier, a member of the
Jewish terrorist underground in
the West Bank, who was serving
a 30-month sentence. Maier was
released following the clemency
order last Wednesday.
Maier underwent spinal
surgery recently and his medical
condition was the primary factor
in the decision to grant him
clemency. Justice Minister
Moshe Nissim, on whose
recommendation Herzog acted,
made it clear that this case will
not set a precedent nor does it
indicate any change of policy
toward the Jewish underground.
Maier is the first of the more
than 20 members of the Under-
ground serving sentences for
crimes of violence against Arabs
in the West Bank to receive
clemency. He was convicted for
his role in the June 1980 car-
bomb attacks on three Arab
mayors.
Maier, a 37-year-old resident
of Kibbutz Golan at Ramat
Magshimim in the West Bank,
spoke briefly to reporters at the
gates of Tel Mond prison last
week. He expressed regrets for
his actions and said "there is no
more to say about that ... the
motives were clear and appear
in the court's judgment." He
maintained that the other un-
derground members should also
be reprieved by the president.
The president of Israel is the
only official empowered to grant
clemency or pardons in criminal
cases. Supporters of the under-
ground have long urged him to
grant a blanket pardon to all
convicted members. But Herzog
has stated he will consider each
application individually on its
merits.
Defense attorneys for the un-
derground members have been
calling for lighter sentences
while the prosecuting maintains
the sentences were not stiff
enough..
