It is a tragedy to see a language held sacred by all the world . . . doom- ed to oblivion and forced out gradually from the Synagogue . . . This may not be the Galut of the Jews, but it is the galut of Judaism . ." The basic Jewish approach to the galut is apparent. It is treated as degradation. The commitment is for emancipa- tion. Therefore the message from Israel to all Jews: "Welcome!" Cowell's revealing story from Kuwait emphasizes the indicated contrasts. For Arab refugees who now claim dispora status there is a perpetuation of Arab refugee homelessness to which they are committed by their own people. There is much to quote from Cowell's long report, especially the follow- ing that is vital to the discussion: Many Arab nations, said Sabri Jiryis, a PLO official based in Nicosia, Cyprus, "don't like the democracy or liberal-mindedness of the Palestinians?' "The usual Palestinian is more revolutionary, liberalized and moderniz- ed," he said. "In some societies they don't like that:' Most Arab governments, too, recall the turmoil associated with armed Palestinians in Jordan and Lebanon. And most Arab security services keep a close watch on politically active Palestinians. When the intifada began in December 1987, demonstrations erupted in Cairo and Amman, caus- ing official concern that the notion of street protest might spread. Kuwait has its own rules. There is "an unwritten understanding that the Palestinians are here but they won't create pro- blems, or get out on the streets or do things that create a security problem;' a senior Western diplomat said. The compact causes some resentment. "Our young people are frustrated," said a Palesti- nian who holds a middle- ranking job in a govern- ment ministry. "They want to show their support for the intifada, but they can- not?' Thus when some 2,000 Palestinians paid- up to $15 at the Andalus movie theater on Monday to see a show of Palestinian song and dance and fable, the police searched them for weapons at the door. For most Palestinians across the Arab world, life is rooted in insecurities created both by host governments and by deci- sions the PLO made long ago to keep dispersed refugees from settling too easily in new lands. "If you give them all a separate Arab identity," a Kuwait of- ficial said, "there's no Palestine." Many travel on identity documents provided by Egypt, Lebanon or Syria that infer no statehood or The message of the galut was degradation. nationality. Others have Jordianian passports valid in some cases for only two years, and the political elite have passports given them by Arab countries where Palestinians may not own a house or land. Here we have the whole story compactly assembled. The Arabs are motivated primarily by the desire to destroy Israel. On the road to this aim their own people, always labelled refugees, are denied basic freedoms. They are denied haven and human rights in Arab lands. In contrast, Israel keeps calling to fellow Jews, "you are welcome." With more Rus- sian Jews promised exit visas by the Kremlin, this is especially aimed at them. It is a signal to them from Israel. Let there be the fullest understanding of diaspora as degradation, and let the in- flux into Israel be an honorable continuity. ❑ I TRAVEL I Stratford llrip Is Planned The Community House in Birmingham has planned trips to see Henry V and Mid- summer Night's Dream in Stratford, Ont., on June 6 and 7.
