BLOOMFIELD 855-5822 Yesh G'vul Continued from Page 5 sponsored by New Jewish Agenda. Since the beginning of the intifada, 41 Israelis have gone to prison rather than serve in the territories, Kidron said. Some 600 have signed a declaration of refusal. That refusal can take many forms depending on the cons- cience of the individual, Kidron said. An Israeli might refuse to serve in the ter- ritories or he might simply refuse to carry a billy club, the symbol of Israel's response to the uprising. Kidron said he hopes to organize a network of American support for Yesh G'vul as an "insurance policy" against what he ex- pects will be an Israel govern- ment crackdown on the group. Yesh G'vul has 50 active members, he said, but the core of the group is much smaller. "If they picked up a half- dozen members, the group is finished," he said. Kidron, a 55-year-old writer and broadcaster, argued against the notion that Israelis who oppose the oc- cupation should serve in the territories to help restrain the brutality of other soldiers. "It is the situation that creates the violence, not the people;' he said. "If I was in that situation, I'm not sure I wouldn't be cracking heads. You need to crack heads to survives' Merely to register one's moral revulsion at the oc- cupation is not enough anymore, Kidron said. "There comes a time when you have to put your money where your mouth is. If you believe the situation is extraordinary, your response should be ex- traordinary." The long-term solution, he said, is to demolish the myth of Israel's liberal occupation and negotiate a solution with the Palestinians. "Even if this is a gang war, you talk with the gang leader who can deliver. That is the PLO. The other side is there, ready, willing and eager to talk," he said. Israel's political establish- ment is "living in a cloudkookooland" and is evading its responsibility to pursue negotiations, he said. "The government is using the army as the first resort and not the last resort." He criticized American Jews who keep silent in the face of Israeli policies of which they disapprove. Israel is neither holy nor weak and will not collapse under Diaspora criticism, he said. "If you think the present course is a disaster for Israel Peretz Kidron and the world Jewish com- munity, speak out." Israel's right-wing has misinterpreted American Jewish "politeness" for com- plete support of its agenda, Kidron said. He dismissed the notion that critics of Israel may play into the hands of its foes. "Israel is in the international rough and tumble. It's perfectly legitimate for the allies of the Palestinians to pull any trick they can. It isn't anti-Semitism:' Kidron was born in Vienna, as the Nazis were coming to power in Germany. His fami- ly fled to England in 1939. The Nazi legacy "is why I won't go along with the idea of 'just obeying orders; " he said. He settled in Israel in 1951 and began refusing to serve in the territories in 1974, just after the Yom Kippur War. "I was released from the reserves this year without ever having been imprison- ed," he said. He said his own experience shows that there are more Israelis who have refused to serve in the territories than official figures suggest. Most commanders prefer to reassign the refuser than send him to jail, Kidron said. He said he is motivated by a desire for peace. While not questioning the intentions of American Jews, he believes that by blind support for Israel's policies, the United States and its Jews are con- tributing to the outbreak of the next Arab-Israeli war which, he believes, will cost Israel 7,000 lives. "I have the feeling that Israel is a bus that has lost its brakes and is speeding out of control, knocking off women and children and rolling toward the precipice," he said. "All the American Jewish establishment can do is yell, `Pump in more fuel.' We don't need more fuel. We need brakes."
