to become like men, to behave
like men. There are bounda-
ries and we recognize them."
General Dotan herself is a
good example of recognized
boundaries. Slim and blonde,
she is a highly successful
career soldier who looks not
at all like the tough, barrack-
room woman general. Her of-
fice, in the heart of a major
military compound in Tel
Aviv, is a blend of potted
plants and trim efficiency. .
Like thousands of other
Israeli women, she met her
husband, now a businessman,
when he was in the army. She
chose to pursue a military
career and the fact that she
has four children astonished
women officers she met on a
recent visit to army bases in
the United States. "Not one
of them had children," she
says. "Apparently, it would be
impossible to have children
and an army career as well."
General Dotan believes
that women have a humaniz-
ing effect on the Israeli Army.
And she believes the sexual
tensions that exist on "mixed"
bases are natural and healthy.
"Whenever women are on a
base you can be sure that the
language, tone and behavior
will improve greatly."
More problematic are the
sexual pressures that can be
exerted on young, impression-
able women soldiers by senior
male officers. "But we are
there to guide them," says
General Dotan.
"Every unit has a female
officer whose job is to keep
her eyes and ears open, to of-
fer advice and help. We make
sure male officers and NCOs
understand their responsibili-
ty towards the young women
under their command."

lives in Israel.

become electricians and
mechanics."
"The girls come to the
army at 18 — bright, wonder-
ful," she says. "But they know
only what school has taught
them. And 'that means next
to nothing about math, phys-
ics and technical subjects. We
have to re-orient their think-
ing and train them in a very
short time."
Indeed, the army is now
making efforts to reach high
school pupils and encourage
them to study subjects that
will equip them for interest-
ing and useful jobs in the
army. "I expect women to be-
come pilots, navigators, ac-
tive in all fields except actual
combat," says General Dotan.
"Women soldiers are fully
trained to fight, but they are
kept away from the combat
a
zones.
"Israeli society, and Jews
abroad, would not accept
female casualties or the risk
of women being taken prison-
ers of war. Particularly by the
Syrians. The girls themselves
want to fight. I have to be the
one who says, 'No.' And the
only people who understand
are their mothers."
But a non-combatant role is
not an inferior one, insists
General Dotan. "After all,
how many men in the Israeli
Army are actually front-line
fighting troops? The percen-
tage is very low," she says. "In
the '80s, battles are not
fought so much with heavy
weapons as with technology.
Intellect and training are
more important than physical
strength, and women can per-
form as well as men.
"That is what I stress to
our young female recruits,
that being different does not
make them less equal or less
important. I don't want them

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
New York (JTA) — With re-
cent developments having left
the PLO more divided than ever,
five factions of the organization
have agreed to a conference that
would be sponsored in Algeria,
PLO chief Yasir Arafat said in
an interview.
Interviewed by Christopher
Wren, Arafat said the five fac-
tions ranged from Arafat's Al
Fatah group to the Palestine
Communist Party. Saleh Khalef,
a top PLO official, said in a
separate interview that the more
radical Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine had also
expressed interest in the propos-
ed meeting. Syrian-based
hardliners have refused to par-
ticipate, the report said.
Although Arafat and Khalef
denied their organization suf-
fered from disunity, according to
the report, other Palestinian of-
ficials, as well as Tunisian of-
ficials and western diplomats,
said the PLO was divided over
Arafat's dealings with Jordan's
King Hussein on a joint ap-
proach to peace talks with
Israel. While the hard-line
Khalef and Farouk Kaddoumi,
the PLO's nominal foreign
minister, reportedly want to
sever all links with Jordan after
Hussein closed 25 Fatah offices
in that country last month,
Arafat and Khalil alWazir, his
top military deputy, are said to
be advocating that the door be
left open to reconciliation.
The internal debate follows
two recent developments that
have put the organization's
relevance into question, the
report said. The first was Hus-
sein's closure of the Fatah offices
and the second was the recent
talks between Israeli Prime
Minister Shimon Peres and King
Hassan II in Morocco.
