Some years ago, an attempt was made to -isssue a weekly news magazine, Yo man Hashavua, to provide a vehi- cle for expression of views to the right of center, and for reportage not slanted by labor, socialist or anti- religious bias. It lasted only a couple of years. A quarterly, known as Ha-Umma, is now in its 25th year, but it has had only an esoteric appeal, and has failed to grapple in lively manner with the living issues of the day. A new attempt is now being made, but this time it is a serious, high-level journal, ap- pearing bimonthly, and ob- viously modeled on the American Commentary, both in format and in content. It is entitled Nativ, which may be variously translated as "way", "path", "course" or "direction?' The first issue gives pro- mise of and exciting and stimulating new contribution to Israel's political/social literature. The words "right" or "conservative" appear nowhere in the masthead or in the - statement of editorial principles, but there is no mistaking the direction and intent of the producers. The editorial board is com- posed of distinguished names which for the most part may not be familiar overseas, but are recognized in Israel for their activist views on Zionism. Among them are Prof. Paul Eidelberg, Dr. Israel Eldad, Prof. Yoseph Ben Shlomo, Gen Rechavam Zeevi, Shmuel Katz, Prof. Yuval Ne'eman, Prof. Harel Fisch and Naomi Frenkel. Not included are any official spokesmen of religious circles, or unbridled ex- tremists like Rabbi Kahane. The publication committee includes Dr. Reuben Hecht, Dr. Uzi Landau, and Dr. Yosef Mirelman, among others. Editor is Arie Stay. Volume One, Number One, contains 70 pages of articles in Hebrew, nine pages of Shmuel Katz: Pollard and the Lavi. English summaries, and a few pages of advertisements, certainly not yet enough to assure financial stability. A quick review of solid and well-written articles in the first issue of Nativ gives clear indication of a stalwart challenge to both the bohe- mian and intellectual left in Israel. Moshe Zak, former editor of Maariv, writes on the propos- ed international conference and publishes for the first time the text of the "Understanding" secretly reached between Shimon Peres and the government of Jordan, an understanding which has been rejected both by Israel and the U.S., and has apparently since been abandoned by King Hussein as well. Perhaps the most im- portant element in the agree- ment was that for the first time it provided an opening for active participation by the Soviet Union in Middle Eastern affairs. In another article, Shmuel Katz sees American pressure on Israel to abandon the Lavi aircraft as part of a pattern to limit Israel's strength — the same pattern as the decision in Washington to withhold in- telligence information from Israel, which led to the Pollard affair. Prof. Harel Fisch comments on state-supported art, which is monopolized by the left, and notes that public funds are used to present self- hating plays like Sobol's A Jewish Soul — but the ex- tremist theater in Israel would never dream of produc- ing a positive play in which a character like Sharansky was the hero. Aron Pappo describes how state television in Israel has been captured by so-called
