One leaflet instructs the Palestinians to prepare for a long, painful haul. They should dig wells, raise poultry and vegetables, stockpile wood, candles, fuel, food, dairy products and water in preparation for an economic siege. Yet another leaflet calls for demonstrative acts of de- fiance against the Israeli authorities—the mass viola- tion of curfew orders and the hoisting Palestinian flag, which is illegal. In addition, every town, village and refugee camp has been .instructed to organize aid for the needy; for the families of prisoners; for those who have lost their incomes. Each area has been told to organize its own police force to maintain internal order, while Palestinian factories have been urged to work "at full speed" in order to provide alternatives to Israeli products. Now the Israeli authorities have started to fight back. Caught unprepared by the extent and duration of the uprising, they have finally begun to react with non- military weapons to this non- military threat. The army has been system- atically working its way through the territories, ar- resting Palestinian rioters and those it suspects of in- citing unrest. Some one thousand have been detained so far, and the arrests are continuing. In addition, the Defense Ministry has outlawed the Shabiba, the PLO youth movement which has become the engine of the uprising — encouraging violent confron- tations with Israeli troops, en- forcing strikes and in- timidating anyone else who shows insufficient patriotic zeal. The Shabiba, organized six years ago by the PLO's Fatah wing—the power base of Yasser Arafat—was intended to carry out community work. It is, however, now regarded as the PLO's principal recruiting agent in the West Bank and Gaza, although its own members—college students and school children—are not formal members of the PLO. The Israeli authorities have also begun to clamp down on trade unions, which are re- garded as hotbeds of Pales- tinian radicalism, and they continue to insist that schools, colleges and univer- sities will remain closed un- til guarantees are provided that the students will not use their educational facilities to plan further unrest. In cooperation with Jordan, they are acting to hamper the operations of the Al-Quds radio station, which beams its message of revolt from southern Syria. The new-style Israeli offen- sive involves cutting tele- "We have to be willing to starve for our freedom," says a Palestinian leader. "It is good to suffer under occupation." phone links from the West Bank and Gaza, imposing curfews, restricting travel and halting fuel supplies—in short, collective punishments, a policy that was emphatical- ly rejected before the start of the uprising. The goal of the offensive is clearly designed to reach over the heads of the activists and strike_ at the Palestinian masses; to convince them that they are on a one-way, dead- end street. If the roots of the intifada lay in Palestinian perceptions of Israeli weakness and vul- nerability, the aim now is to prove that Israel is very much in control. Taking a leaf out of the in- tifada's own book, the Israeli Army last weekend distri- buted its own handbills with a potent message for the Palestinian population: "You are the ones who are paying the price for the disturbances and disorder," read the flier. "Your means of livelihood have been cut off. Your child- ren's education has been interrupted. The dead, wounded and maimed are everywhere. "Don't forget, brothers, that the events of 1936 and 1948 began in the same way, and their heavy price has been paid by generations of Palesti- nians to this day. "The deterioration must be stopped immediately before it is too late. You have been warned." Will the tactic work? Will the prospect of no police, no schools, no income and a host of irritating restrictions, punishments and curfews turn the Palestinians away from violence? Or will the new Israeli methods simp- ly fuel Palestinian solidarity and defiance? Mubarak Awad, the Palestinian- American apostle of civil
