The divisiveness again became apparent and one wonders whence conies solution to the drastic differences which are de- veloping into internal Jewish family animosities. If it were only possible to con- vene a Sanhedrin akin to the olden times when rabbis gathered to differ and to adjust conflicts! From present indica; tions the prediction that by the year 2000 the disunity in Jewry will predominate is a more realis- tic threat than has hitherto been apparent. 'God,' Physical Defensive Are Not Really Polls Apart , Arab neighbors; 94 percent were sure Israel would win a war against Syria alone; and 92 percent thought Israel would win the war against terrorism. A substantial 69 percent was convinced that Israel could sustain weakened support from the United States. Only 47 percent believed IDF decisions were always ob- jective and 53 percent be- lieved non-military and even political considerations were sometimes involved in mili- tary decisions. Only a third of the respondents agreed that decisions by the political lead- ership on security matters were always based on the merits of the case. More than views expressed, the lesson to be learned here is that there is a sense of confidence among Israelis that they can as- sure their own security. The God-armed forces idea in- troduced in the Tel Aviv Univer- sity poll recalls an old Yiddish pun, As God vill, shisst a bezim — "If God wills it, even a broom will shoot." Therefore, really, the Israel vote for the gun versus the Al- mighty is not heresy. It merely adds confidence in the People Is- rael, faith in the nation's sur- vivalism, to the devotions that are inerasable from Jewish liv- ing. Polls testing opinions on vex- ing current issues are common everywhere. They are inspired by the media, and the experts in conducting the testing are treated with respect. In Israel, some days ago, there must have been a measure of deep interest, accompanied by mirth, in the announcement of reactions to the results of a sur- vey that was conducted among the Israeli armed forces over a most famous Jewish traditional incentive to courage. Asked to comment on the Biblical quota- tion: "The Guardian Angel of Is- rael neither sleeps nor slumbers" — Lo yonum v'lo yoshal Shome Yisrael — the vote was a 57 to 17 percent margin in believing that the quotation referred to the IDF, Goldsteins rather than to God.
