Nibbles & Nuts 737.8088 Israel Must Not Repeat Past, Psychologist Says BEN GALLOB Special to The Jewish News A Massachusetts psy- chiatrist, using psy- choanalytic ap- proaches to evaluate the Israeli response to the Palesti- nian uprising, has warned Israel that it must free itself "from the compulsion to repeat the past" if peace is ever to be achieved. That recommendation was made by Steven Adelman, who teaches psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center at Worcester and who holds dual U.S. and Israeli citizenship. He discussed his psychological approach to the Israeli- Palestinian impasse in a re- cent issue of Sh'ma, the in- dependent Jewish journal. Adelman said that the historical record of unending attacks on Jews, culminating in the European Holocaust and the murderous Arab assaults on Jews before and after statehood, had compell- ed Israel to acquire the tools considered essential for sur- vival. Adelman said these tools — "a thick skin, vigilance, cun- ning and suspiciousness" — constituted "street smarts," which he said served Israel well during the 1950s and 1960s. But things changed with Israel's impressive military victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, which "propelled Israel into adulthood, suddenly, perhaps prematurely." He dismissed as "fantasy" what he called the Israeli belief that the Palestinian Arabs "could be mollified" by humane policies to "the point of wanting to remain forever under Israeli rule." If the "benign occupation" had worked, Adelman declared, the Israeli Jews "might have been able to purge from their con- sciousness the shadowy im- age of past persecutors." When the Israeli dream of "a psydhologically liberating `benign occupation' " was shattered by the Palestinian uprising, that failure was seen by the Israelis as proving that "once again," peaceful coexistence had been demonstrated by the Arabs to be an illusion and that the on- ly effective solution on which the Israelis could depend was a military one. "The historical record of attacks .. had compeled Israel to acquire tools considered essential for survival." . The psychiatrist contended that Israel must recognize that its post-1967 hopes of a "benign occupation" have, in fact, contributed to a vicious cycle of violence. Adelman suggested that Yassir Arafat's recent over- tures, an apparent reference to his Geneva statement last December recognizing Israel's right to exist and renouncing terrorism against Israel, were cause "for cautious op- timism." He said Israel needs to understand and acknowledge its own role in the ongoing hostilities, to free itself "from the compulsion to repeat the past, and to take in earnest the current opportunity to ex- plore the prospects for peace." LI (c) 1989 Jewish Telegraphic Agency West Bank Shul Built By German Christians Jerusalem (JTA) — On the eve of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, a new synagogue was in- augurated in Ma'aleh Adumim, just outside Jerusalem. The shul was built with the contributions of hundreds of German Chris- tians as a token compensa- tion for the arson of hundreds of synagogues on Kristallnacht 50 years ago. The new synagogue, Mitzpe Nevo, was built at the in- itiative of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem. A spokesman for the em- bassy said that Israel's Chris- tian friends throughout the world wish to demonstrate their participation of the renaissance of religious and social activities in Israel through this synagogue. The inauguration ceremony at Ma'aleh Adumim — located east of Jerusalem in the West Bank — was attended by hun- dreds of German guests.
