Shamir's Tough Talk
Surprises Washington
AMERICAN ISRAEL CORPORATION
p
rime Minister Yitz-
hak Shamir has dis-
missed Yassir Arafat's
recent peace overtures, com-
pared the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization leader to
Adolf Hitler and said the on-
ly place for a Palestinian_
state in the future would be
in Jordan.
In a lengthy interview
published March 1 in the
Washington Times, Shamir
said that Arafat was lying
when he said the PLO had re-
nounced terrorism and added
that "we'd put him in prison"
if, like the late Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat, he
flew to Israel to talk about
peace.
U.S. officials and others
were clearly taken aback by
what they described as
Shamir's unusually hardline
comments. Concerned by both
the substance and tone of the
Prime Minister's statements,
they said that they were sur-
prised that Shamir had
spoken so uncompromisingly.
"We thought that in ad-
vance of his visit to
Washington, he would want
to project a more moderate
message," one U.S. official
commented.
The Americans were also
concerned by the Likud's
dramatic gains in the recent
municipal elections in Israel.
But they also complained
about the latest unsuccessful
attempt by a PLO-affiliated
group to infiltrate into north-
ern Israel from south
Lebanon.
"When the PLO renounced
terrorism last December,"
spokesman Charles Redman
said, "we assumed Mr. Arafat
spoke in the name of the
PLO's executive committee
and its constituent groups,
and that the PLO could exer-
cise control over these consti-
tuent groups."
The most recent incidents,
he added, raise "questions
regarding the commitments
undertaken in the name of
the PLO, indeed, questions
about the PLO's ability to
carry out their commit-
ments."
Earlier in the week, the
United States had warned the
PLO not to undertake opera-
tions against Israeli civilian
or military targets, insisting
that they were contrary to the
initial understanding last
December which resulted in
the U.S.-PLO dialogue.
Redman refused to corn-
-
ment publicly on Shamir's
tough statements.
Privately, however, U.S. of-
ficials have expressed their
concern that Shamir's rejec-
tion of any possible negotia-
tion with the PLO could
damage prospects for advan-
cing the peace process.
The Washington Times, in a
front-page follow-up to its
original interview with
Shamir, quoted Arab and
Palestinian officials as charg-
ing that Shamir was seeking
to provoke Arafat into corn-
mitting a mistake that would
seriously undermine his
peace moves.
The officials also said that
the prime minister was sig-
naling the Bush administra-
tion that it should expect lit-

demagogues and

Arafat and Hitler.
tle flexibility when he visits
Washington in early April.
Administration officials
were quoted as saying that
Shamir's remarks were part
of an Israeli attempt to keep
the United States on the
defensive regarding its
3-month-old dialogue with
the PLO in the hope that the
Palestinians would shoot
themselves in the foot and
thereby end the direct con-
tacts between the administra-
tion and the PLO.
Asked in the interview
what Arafat should now do,
the prime minister replied:
"Dissolve his organzation,
the PLO. Give up his dream
about the ultimate destruc-
tion of Israel. If he thinks it's
impossible, if he thinks ter-
rorism has to be stopped, all
he has to do is _disband."
Shamir rejected a sugges-
tion from Times editor-in-
chief Arnaud de Borchgrave
that dissolving the PLO was
unrealistic. "History is
replete with such phenomena
who, after a while, disappear
when they have outlived their
usefulness," Shamir said.
"Take Hitler. There was a
time in the 1930s when
Hitler was celebrated the
world over as some kind of
savior. The end we know. But
the price was a very heavy
one"
Asked whether he was corn-
paring Hitler to Arafat,
Shamir replied: "They belong
to the same family of
demagogues and total-
