In the past year the term "in- tifada" has entered the vocabulary of almost every Israeli, and its meaning has a much deeper significance than its reference to the re- cent Arab "uprising." The intifada began in ear- ly December 1987, when young Arabs in Gaza began throwing rocks, petrol bombs and other objects at IDF soldiers and blocked roads with burning tires. A number of Palestinian protesters were killed as soldiers defended themselves, and yet the Arabs were somehow able to project themselves in the world media as innocent victims of non-violent protests. The reason for this, no doubt, was that they bore improvised, albeit lethal weapons, as op- posed to guns or grenades. This public relations success undoubtedly fuelled the in- tifada in its early stages. Explanations for the unex- pected eruption of the in- tifada have been diverse. It was suggested that a road ac- cident in which an army vehi- cle in Gaza inadvertently kill- ed several Arabs inflamed local hostility; others say that a hang glider attack some weeks earlier by a terrorist crossing the Lebanese border into Israel, which resulted in the deaths of six IDF soldiers, encouraged rebellion. However, as the intifada spread throughout the ad- ministered territories, and as the initial spontaneity of the rioting was replaced by pro- tests clearly organized by the j PLO, cries for better explana- tions were heard throughout Israel. Many pointed out that for the first time ever the Arab summit in Amman in late 1987 did not even discuss the Palestinian problem, thus for- cing the residents of the ad- ministered territories to seek their own solutions. Others felt that the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank and Gaza is younger and If the Palestinians' tactics have captured the world's sympathy, they have also bitterly divided Israeli opinion. more militant than its predecessors, whose political awareness has been shaped since Israeli rule in the ter- ritories began in 1967. Morris Draper, who recent- ly completed his tour of duty as UN consul in Jerusalem, always considered the "status quo" to be dangerous. "Israel has to find some way to let the Palestinian people breathe a little," he said. "The Palestinians, for their part, must be more pragmatic .. . If the Israelis offer some form of autonomy, the Palestinians should seize it, whatever its implications. All too often in the past, the Palestinians have rejected opportunities." If the Palestinians' tactics have captured the world's sympathy, they have also bit- terly divided Israeli opinion.
