Despite the intifada, two elderly men, one an Arab, the other a Sephardic Jew, talk together while awaiting the
bus in the Bucharian Quarter of Jerusalem.

Ex-Detroiter, Other Settlers
Describe Life During Intifada

DAVID HOLZEL

Israel Correspondent

T

o get to Karnei Shorn-
ron, you drive east
from the Tel Aviv
suburb of Kfar Saba.
Residents of the primarily Or-
thodox settlement in the
Samarian foothills will in-
evitably stop at the Kfar Saba
bus station to pick up anyone
going in the same direction.
It's just small town courtesy
— especially during the in-
tifada, when the settlers are
looking after each other more
than ever.
The steady succession of
four-story apartment houses
stops abruptly at the edge of
Kfar Saba and the roadside is
practically barren for the
distance of a mile, until the
buildings of Kalkilya begin to
flank the highway. Tha
t
momentary breath between
towns — one Israeli, the other
Palestinian — marks the
former Green Line that divid-
ed Israel and the Jordanian-
occupied West Bank before
the 1967 Six-Day War.
Those on the Israeli
political right say the Green
Line has been erased now
that Jews live on both sides of
it.
But the 14-month-old Pales-
tinian uprising has challeng-
ed that assertion in subtle
ways. If the political Green
Line is gone, the past year has
seen the demarcation of new
physical and psychological
boundaries — not im-
penetrable, but evident — bet-
ween the settlers and the
Palestinians, and between the
settlers and the rest of Israeli
society.
Kalkilya used to have the
reputation of being one of the

friendliest of West Bank Arab
towns. Israeli Jews poured in-
to Kalkilya to do their shopp-
ing and to have their cars
repaired. That relationship
was severed under a hail of
stones when the intifada
began in December 1987.
Now Kalkilya looks nearly
deserted. Businesses along its
winding streets have been
closed by the general strike
and the town's economic for-
tunes diminished because
Jews no longer shop in
Kalkilya. Jews will not even
stop in Kalkilya. During a
ride through town, the direct
route to Karnei Shomron, one
may end up with a windshield
broken by stones or cinder
blocks.
East of town, the land un-
folds into rocky hills. After
five miles comes the Arab
village of Azzun. The road
twists and winds and in
another three miles are the
signs for Karnei Shomron and
its sister settlement on a
neighboring hill, Ginnat
Shomron.
The mileage is insignificant
if you add it up, and the
neighborhood looks crowded
on a map. But standing in the
home of the Cohen family
looking out from Karnei
Shomron; one sees rolling,
barren mountains in every
direction.
Shuki and Buki Cohen
came to this settlement of red
tile-roofed homes and 200
families four-and-a-half years
ago. Here they are raising
their seven children. They
came to the settlement
because Shuki, a rabbi, had
been offered a teaching posi-
tion at Karnei Shomron's
hesder yeshivah, where
young men combine Talmud

studies with army service.
The yeshivah complex, now
under construction, is being
built with $1 million raised
by Cleveland's Jewish
community.
The Cohens and several
neighbors gathered in the
Cohen's living room one re-
cent morning to discuss how
the intifada has affected
them. They say they are
frustrated that the uprising,
now reduced from full-scale
rioting to a low-grade an-
noyance, has not been stopped
by the authorities. This
frustration is evident in the
conflicting ways people
discuss the intifada as having
a major impact — or virtual-
ly none — on their lives.
"The situation is almost im-
possible," Buki says. She sees
no end in sight.
Her husband speaks of the
intifada as not affecting him
personally, but as a problem
for all of Israel, even for those
scarcely touched by it. "It's a
problem for the 'guy in Tel
Aviv, too, but he's removed
from it," Shuki says.
Geula Grossman, a neigh-
bor, puts it another way:
"We're not physically on the
border, but we're on the
border of a national crisis."
The crisis, in the minds of
the settlers, is the inability of
Israelis to agree on what to do
about the Palestinians and
the territories. "The intifada
could have been ended quick-
ly if Israel had sent the
Palestinians a clear message,"
Grossman says. "We have
great respect for the army,
but they have been screwing
up. They have been wishy-
washy."
As a result of the repeated
stonings and two recent
