facing Israel, including the
uprising in the territories,
how to approach the peace
process and calls for the crea-
tion of a Palestinian state run
by the PLO.
Such a state, Shamir said,
"would not advance peace. It
would be the opposite of
peace. It could only produce
the peace of the cemetery."
But the Likud leader focus-
ed mostly on the theme of the
conference, which had more to
do with image than
substance.
"We need the unity and
solidarity of all our people,"
Shamir said, pounding on the
podium.
"We need the word to go out
from here to the capitals of
the world that the Jewish
people is not divided, the
Jewish people is not weaken-
ed, the Jewish people is
responding to Israel's call and
will face the future together
with Israel."
Many of the dozen hand-
picked speakers who followed
Shamir with short speeches of
their own echoed the prime
minister's remarks on
solidarity with Israel.
The speakers included
Mendel Kaplan, chairman of
the Jewish Agency Board of
Governors; Seymour Reich,
chairman of the Conference
Presidents; Martin Stein,
chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal board of
trustees; Professor Irwin
Cotler of McGill University;
Mark Leibler, president of the
Zionist Federation of
Australia; Holocaust survivor
and author Samuel Pisar;
Rabbi Henry Sobel of Sao
Paulo, Brazil; Michael Katz of
South Africa; and Rabbi Mar-
vin Heir, dean of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center in Los
Angeles.
Speaking on the issue of
human rights, Cotler said
Israel was founded as a sym-
bol of human rights, but is
now being perceived as a
violator of those rights.
"It behooves Israel to
launch a human rights offen-
sive," Cotler said. But at the
same time he said, "any part-
ner seeking standing in the
peace process" must first re-
ject the 1975 United Nations
resolution equating Zionism
with racism.
The thrust of the conference
was to show unity, and signs
of it abounded. In a rare
display of political unity,
Shamir and Peres sat side by
side on the podium during
most of Monday's morning
session and afternoon news
conference.
But there also were oppor-
tunities to discuss issues of
contention.
At a steering committee
session on Sunday, French
thinker Marek Halter, who
had met privately with PLO
chief Yassir Arafat, asked
Foreign Minister Moshe
Arens what was wrong with
such a meeting.
"Understand from our
perspective what recognizing
the PLO as the sole
legitimate spokesman for the
Palestinians means," said
Arens, according to an
eyewitness to the
conversation.
"It doesn't only mean the
Palestinians on the West
Bank. It means the
guaranteed demise of [Jor-
dan's King] Hussein. It
means the unleashing of 1.4
million Palestinians in the
diaspora."
"No one screamed at each
other," the eyewitness said.
"That's what made this a
legitimate conference. People
were able to come here, get ac-
cess and have an unfiltered
response from people actual-
ly making the decisions." ❑
Shamir Hits
Arson Attacks
Jerusalem (JTA) — Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir
spoke out last week against a
series of arson attacks
against well-known Israeli
personalities that have
security forces baffled.
The attacks apparently are
being perpetrated by a
previously unknown group
calling itself Sicarii — after
the Jewish zealots who en-
gaged in terrorism against
the Romans at the end of the
Second Temple period.
The group took responsibili-
ty for burning the door of the
home of pollster Mina The-
mah, who had just published
a public opinion survey favor-
ing the left if elections were
held today.
The group also took respon-
sibility earlier this month for
burning the car door of writer
Dan Almagor, who has been
active in Peace Now, and last
week for a similar act on the
car of journalist Dan
Margalit, who recently inter-
viewed Palestinian activist
Faisal al-Husseini.
Shamir reproached the
"grave phenomenon" and ex-
pressed confidence during
Sunday's weekly Cabinet ses-
sion that the police would un-
cover the group and bring the
responsible parties to justice.
The prime minister had
been under pressure to make
such a statement because of
his recent strong rhetoric
against Peace Now, which
some said encouraged
violence against its members.
