or if the Christians turned to
Arafat's fighters to help them
resist the final Syrian
embrace.
"Assad wants a new, pro-
Syrian Christian president
who will institute reforms
and work for national recon-
ciliation," Olmert said. "He
doesn't want any sideshows."
It is understood that Assad
has not only secured an en-
dorsement from the United
States for his planned putsch,
but that he has also struck a
deal with Teheran over the
pro-Iranian fundamentalist
Hizbollah movement, which
rules the slums of south
Beirut. By ousting the Arafat
loyalists, he has deprived the
Hizbollah fighters of their
most powerful allies.
"Assad wants a
new, pro-Syrian
Christian president
who will institute
reforms and work
for national
reconciliation."
According to one know-
ledgeable Israeli source, the
Syrian leader is saying, "Take
us seriously. We can control
things. The message is also
directed at the Christian
militias who might be temp-

In 1972, Scott approvingly
reviewed "The Dispossessed
Majority," a book that charges
that the United States is
degenerating as its northern
European majority is displac-

as blacks, Hispanics, Jews
and people of Mediterranean
origin.

the message across very effec-
tively!'
Arafat, who won Assad's en-
mity by adamantly refusing
to become a creature of
Damascus, has paid dearly for
the Syrian leader's dream of
a Pax Syriana. His recalci-
trance has lost him not only
his substantial investment in
Beirut but also a great deal of
personal prestige.
"How can he claim to be the
`sole legitimate represen-
tative of the Palestinian peo-
ple' when he is so obviously
being pushed around by other
Palestinians?" asks Olmert.
These are hard times for
Yassir Arafat. After seven
months, the intifada has pro-
pelled the Palestinian cause
back onto international agen-
das, but it has failed to pro-
duce a single political gain for
the Palestinians.
Indeed, the single tangible
fruit of the intifada is now
ripening on the vine and will
be ready for harvesting when
Israelis go to the polls in
November: a clear majority
for a hard-line, right-wing
Israeli government.
"We Israelis," says one
Israeli source, "have our prob-
lems, but the truth is that
things are much, much worse
for Yassir Arafat and his sup-
porters?'
