W
ashington — Using
rather blunt lan-
guage, the United
States has warned Israel
against increasing West Bank
settlement activity and
against deporting more
Palestinians from the
territories.
During a meeting last week
at the State Department,
Deputy Secretary Lawrence
Eagleburger told Israeli Am-
bassador Moshe Arad that
the Bush administration
strongly opposes what it
regards as unnecessarily pro-
vocative Israeli policies in the
territories.
Eagleburger, the No. 2 of-
ficial in the State Depart-
ment and widely regarded as
one of Israel's best friends, ex-
pressed the administration's
deep concern that such Israeli
actions would further reduce
the chances of getting Israel's
peace initiative, including the
West Bank and Gaza elec-
tions, off the ground.
He added that such Israeli
measures, rather than reduc-
ing the level of violence
resulting from the intifada,
would actually intensify it.
According to U.S. and
Israeli officials, Eagleburger
expressed alarm over the
overall increase in violence in
the territories in recent
weeks.
What has been especially
disturbing to Washington has
been the outbreak of Jewish
vigilante raids against
Palestinians in the
territories.
Arad reportedly pointed out
that the Israeli government
has strongly opposed the
vigilante actions and has
taken steps to stop them.
Officials said that they have
been deeply worried about in-
dications that Israel is about
to increase the use of depor-
tations as a weapon against
the continuing Palestinian
uprising in the territories.
For years, the United States
has opposed such deporta-
tions, arguing that they are
violations of international
law.
Rather than deport alleged
Palestinian terrorists, the
United States has encourag-
ed Israel to file formal
charges and arrest them.
Israeli officials, however, have
noted that they cannot always
make public the evidence
that they have collected
against Palestinian
deportees; such evidence, they
say, could compromise the
security sources of the
information.
But the Americans further
note that expulsions merely
inflame passions without
leading to any additional
security for Israel. "Exactly
the opposite is true," one U.S.
official said.
In addition, the Americans
are worried about reports of
expanded Israeli settlement
activity following Israeli pro-
posals designed to get peace
negotiations underway.
The blunt exchange last
Friday is seen as part of a new
and concerted strategy in the
Bush administration to
forcefully make its views
known in Jerusalem so that
there can be absolutely no
uncertainty as to where
Washington stands on these
sensitive issues.
"We can't be ambiguous,"
an American official com-
mented. "We have to be clear-
cut."
At a State Department
briefing, spokesman Richard
Boucher said the United
States condemns what he
described as the Jewish set-
tlers' "vigilante attacks." He
noted that the Israeli govern-
ment has also condemned the
attacks.
The United States also con-
demned the controversial
decision in Ariel to force Arab
workers to wear white iden-
tification badges.
"We would find this practice
offensive," said Boucher. "In
our view, this one settle-
ment's requirement of badges
for Palestinians workers is in-
compatible with democratic
values."
The Ariel action, which has
been widely criticized inside
Israel, has also embarrassed
American Jews and other
supporters of Israel.
The New York Times quoted
Israeli critics as pointing out
that the badges have been
compared to the yellow Star
of David that Jews were forc-
ed to wear by the Nazis.
Israel Votes
Most With U.S.
Washington (JTA) — If
friends of the United States
are measured by how often
they vote with Washington in
the U.N. General Assembly,
then Israel can be called
America's best friend.
Israel voted with the
United States 91 percent of
the time, more than any other
nation, according to the sixth
annual "Report to Congress
