Too Independent?
Continued from Page 24
Israel transcended the
bounds of international pro-
priety and made a commit-
ment which it must have
known could not be honored.
"Independent nations do
not operate this way, and with
good reason," says Dr. Allan
Shapiro, a political scientist
who is associated with the
center-left of the Israeli
political spectrum.
"Exposing sensitive in-
telligence operations to the
scrutiny of a foreign power is
a negation of national sover-
eignty. Israel's major fault in
the Pollard affair was pene-
trating an area of American
activity that was clearly out
of bounds. It cannot be cor-
rected by permitting a recip-
rocal fishing expedition."
This did not mean, he sug-
gested, that Israel should try
to justify the Pollard affair or
to "stonewall" Washington.
"It does mean, however, that
the proper forum for dealing
with the matter is diplomatic,
not judicial."
Such recent events have
served to strengthen the
voices of those who reject the
notion that Washington sup-
ports Jerusalem out of emo-
tional sentiment; that the
United States is a great,
warm-hearted sugar-daddy of
a superpower that showers
gifts, benificence and charity
on its distant, democratic
relative.
The reality, insist such
observers, is more pragmatic.
The United States, in almost
all of its dealings with Israel,
is motivated primarily by
self-interest.
"It's very nice to say that
America supports Israel
because of our common heri-
tage, our democratic sys-
tems," says right-wing
ideologue and historian
Shmuel Katz. "But I don't
think anyone really believes
that the United States helps
us because it likes the color of
our eyes."
Katz points bitterly to the
first 20 years of Israel's ex-
istence, when Washington
maintained an arms embargo
on the struggling Jewish
State, "which probably would
not have survived if it hadn't
been for Soviet, and then
French, arms supplies."
It was only after 1967,
when Washington realized
Israel's strategic importance
in the region, that the
massive infusions of United
States aid began. And yet the
myth persists that America
has always been Israel's great
and generous patron.
"If we hadn't won the Six
Day War we would never have
smelled United States aid."
Furthermore, says Katz,
successive American govern-
ments have repeatedly used
aid to pressure Israel into ac-
tions that were clearly
against the best interests of
Jerusalem, while serving
those of Washington.
He cites America's "re-
appraisal" of aid to Israel
when, in 1975, Jerusalem
balked at evacuating the Abu
Rudeis oilfields and strategic
passes in the Sinai. It took
just six months for the
Israelis to knuckle under.
"And the reason we were be-
ing forced to give up what

American
interests in the

amounted to 60 percent of our
oil resources—at the height of
the oil crisis—was to help the
United States improve its
relations with Egypt.
"Time and again," says
Katz, "it is Israel that has
had to pay the price for fur-
thering American interests in
the Middle East."
He also rails against the
"subservient attitude" of
Israeli leaders, whom he dis-
misses as "a government of
mice who keep reminding
everyone how dependent we
are on the Americans and
how important it is not to
upset them."
Instead, he says, Israel
should clearly and strongly
stress the fact that the
United States receives a
handsome return on its in-
vestment in the Jewish State.
It has, he says, been
estimated by American an-
alysts that Israeli "services"
to Washington in the form of
military know-how and the
ability of the Israel Air Force
to take care of the Soviet fleet
in the Mediterranean is worth
somewhere in the region of $4
billion a year to the United
States.
"And if we add the factor
that if Israel was not here, the
United States would have to
pay much, much more to se-
cure its interests in this vital
region, we could add many
more billions to that esti-
mate?'
It is essential, he says, not
to view the relationship as
one between a global super-
power and a tiny client.
