ORDER EARLY — DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED

Palestine National Council
session — to formally accept
the UN resolutions and a
mini-state in the West Bank
and Gaza.
The problem is less acute
for Shamir, leader of the hard-
line Likud Party, who not on-
ly rejects negotiations with
the PLO under any circum-
also
stances, but is
dogmatically opposed to any
territorial concessions over
the occupied territories.
Addressing a group of
American Jewish fund-
raisers in Jerusalem late last
week, Shamir said there was
a "national consensus
against any negotiations with
the PLO, a murder and terror
organization whose objective
is the liquidation of Israel!'
"We will oppose and pre-
vent, in the most resolute
manner," he said, "any at-
tempt to create the fiction of
Palestinian government here
or a declaration of a state in
the area under our jurisdic-
tion!'
The problem for Peres and
his Labor Party, however, is
far more complicated.
Peres had gambled every-
thing on convincing Israeli
voters to support his peace
strategy with Hussein, and
now that the king has taken
himself out of the game, the
Labor leader has been left
with the choice of picking up
the PLO challenge or trying
to persuade a highly skeptical
Israeli electorate that Hus-.
sein will, after all, come to
the party if Labor wins the
November election.
While few Israelis serious-
ly believe that the "Jordanian
option" is still alive — if, in-
deed, it ever was — it would
be electorally catastrophic for
Peres to treat with the PLO
(which he must continue to
villify) or even to respond to
its "peace offensive" (which
he must continue to reject).
"Most Israelis are unable to
deal with the possibility that
a Palestinian state is
anything but a threat to
Israel's existence," noted one
senior Middle East specialist
in Jerusalem.
"Even those who favor a
withdrawal from the occupied
territories are mostly in-
capable of grasping the fact
that the PLO may be pre-
pared to offer Israel real
peace. They simply cannot ac-
cept that the PLO will not use
a state, even a truncated
state, as a springboard for
destroying Israel!"
Both Labor and Likud
politicians are distinctly
uneasy when their stereotypi-
cal image of the "terrorist"
PLO is challenged: "The com-
mon response," said one
observer, "is not to examine
