Gen. Amnon Shahak, commanding officer of the central region, said last week. Shahak said the typical per- petrators are young people. They are difficult to apprehend because their attacks are , not usually planned but results from a spur of the moment decision by a small group of friends. They use makeshift weapons, such as gasoline bombs, Shahak said. Attacks carried out by ter- rorists, pro or anti-Arafat ele- ments of the Palestine Libera- tion Organization, are planned and employ firearms and high explosives, Shahak said. Asked about a statement by the West Bank settlers council last week that they would use any means to thwart a govern- ment decision to give up part of the administered territories in exchange for peace, Shahak re- plied, We will keep law and order regardless of who is break- ing the law." In a related development, se- curity forces closed down the Kadri Tukan school in Nablus last week after a clash between students and two Jewish settlers, civilian employees of the Israel Defense Force, re, suited in the wounding of one Arab youth. Seventeen students were detained.' According to security sources, students threw rocks at an Is- raeli vehicle in which the settlers were riding. They left the car to give chase. The Is- raelis said they fired into the air. But one youth was taken to a local hospital with a bullet wound in his stomach. Security forces who rushed to the scene were also stoned. They ordered the school shut for one day. A curfew remained in force this week in Adik and Burkin villages in northern Samaria. It was imposed after an Israeli bus came under fire in the area. An Israeli woman passenger was wounded. Meanwhile, Yosef Martin, the 20 year-old Israeli soldier stab- bed 'earlier this month near the Damascus Gate in the Old City, was taken off the critical list at Haddasah hospital on Mt. Scopus, where he had undergone emergency surgery. Martin, a tank commander on active duty was strolling with his woman friend, Yael Hayoun, 20, a soldier from Yavneel. Neither of them was in uniform. The assailant who plunged a kitchen knife into Martin's back, escaped. The stabbing was the second near the Damascus Gate within a week. The first victim, Ovadia Bruchin, 60, remains hos- pitalized but is recovering. Police investigating both attacks have made no arrests so far. Father and Son MKS Differ, Remain Close BY SIMON GRIVER Special to The Jewish News pt. ..entronte. g. now newly remodeled Nepotism has never had any place within Israel's political system. However, the Burg fam- ily currently has both father and son in positions of power within the national unity gov- ernment. Dr. Yosef Burg is one of Is- 'rael's best known politicians. Minister of Religious Affairs and leader of the National Reli- gious Party, he has sat in the Knesset since its inception in 1949 and has served as a minis- ter in virtually every cabinet since 1951. His son, 30-year-old Avraham Burg was recently appointed as Prime Minister Shimon Peres' Personal Advisor on Diaspora Affairs and is tipped as one of the future leaders of the Labor Party. Avraham Burg has reached his position of responsi- bility through merit rather than favoritism, and indeed he has often been an outspoken critic of his father's party. The elder Burg was born in Dresden, Germany in 1909. He is both a doctor of philosophy from the University of Leipzig and a rabbi from the Berlin Seminary. he came to Palestine in 1939, leaving behind his par- ents who perished in the Holocaust. Over the years Burg has served as Minister of Health, Communications, Social Welfare and the Interior. Yosef Burg sees himself as a symbol of Israeli continuity whereas his opponents charge that the fact that his NRP party has been prepared to serve under both Labor and Likud led governments, signifies not a readiness to compromise in the national interest but a desire to sell themselves to the highest bidder to protect minority reli- gious intersts. Despite their deep political differences, Avraham Burg can- not be coaxed into criticizing his father. We do not have a politi- cal relationship," he says. "My father has always been a father first and a politician after that. Even if he is extremely busy I always know _I can phone my father and he will make time to talk over any problems I might have. I may not agree with my father's political philsophy but I am proud to be a Burg." Avraham Burg attributes his good relations with his father to his mother Rivka Burg's refusal to allow politics to enter their., home. "My mother was boss at
