T

he draft "Declaration
of Independence" for a
Palestinian state,
discovered last week by
Israeli security forces, bears
the clear imprint of a Univer-
sity of Maryland scholar who
has been advising Palestinian
dissidents on new strategies
for ending the Israeli
occupation.
Jerome Segal, a specialist
in philosophy and public
policy, has been a leading
figure in American groups op-
posed to the Israeli occupa-
tion. In June, it was reported
that Segal's proposals helped
shape the Abu Sharif letter,
the moderate-sounding arti-
cle written by a top PLO of-
ficial but later denounced by
other PLO leaders.
Now, Israeli newspapers
have zeroed in on Segal as a
prime figure in the apparent
effort to turn the -intifadah
into a legitimate political
movement by unilaterally
establishing a provisional
Palestinian government, and
using that shadow organiza-
tion to take over the admin-
istrative functions abandoned
by the Jordanians last week.
Segal does not dispute that
his peace proposals, published
widely in the Western press
and in the Palestinian
newspapers Al Quds and Al
Fajr, provided the nucleus for
the "Declaration of Indepen-
dence."
"I didn't write the declara-
tion," Segal said. "But it does
follow in a general way the
strategy proposal I made. It's
remarkable to me that they
took my ideas and made their
own modifications, although
no decisions have been made
by the PLO leadership in
Tunis!'
In his proposals, Segal call-
ed for the unilateral declara-
tion of a Palestinian state—
and a "peace offensive"
designed to convince Israel
that the new Palestinian
state was prepared to live in
peace with the Jewish state.

So far, the Palestinian
declaration has not incor-
porated the more radical
elements in Segal's "peace
offensive"— including the im-
mediate declaration that the
new Palestinian state would
be a demilitarized state.
"But I am very encouraged
that they got far enough to
draft a declaration document,
which they're circulating
now. Many of the reports on

the declaration are missing
one key element—the fact
that it is based on a two-state
solution to the Arab-Israeli
problem. It's important not to
minimize the fact that this
document is based on the
Palestinian state's recogni-
tion of Israel."
that
Segal
insisted
language in the document
suggesting that the new state
include some Israeli territory
beyond Gaza and the west
bank is just an opening
bargaining position.
"The details are changing
very fast," he said. "In my
proposal, I argued that it

"I see it as a
historic
moment...lf the
Israelis and
American Jews
respond by
embracing
this...we could
make it into a self-
fulfilling prophecy."

would be a mistake to seek
territory gained by Israel in
the 1948 war of independence.
According to the reports I've
heard, the declaration implies
that this might be a possibili-
ty. I view this as an opening
negotiating position, in
typical Middle East fashion.
But Shamir is playing this up
as evidence that they really
want to destroy Israel."
Segal. is convinced that
some version of the plan will
eventually be taken up by the
PLO leadership in TUnis, an
action that would transform
the intifada (uprising).
"I think two things have
made this inevitable," he said.
"The first is King Hussein's
action cutting administrative
ties with the West Bank, And
the second is that the Israeli
government has gone public
about this declaration of in-
dependence."
The documents were
discovered after the arrest of
Faisal al-Husseini, the
Palestinian activist who
recently spent six months
under administrative
detention.
According to Segal, Hus-
seini was arrested after
speaking to a Peace Now ral-
ly in Israel, at which the
Palestiniali leader called for a
two-state solution to the con-
flict based on Palestinian
recognition of Israel's right to
exist. The draft Declaration
