still getting negative reports
about Israel." He welcomed
Prime Minister Shamir's
remarks to the Jewish Agen-
cy assembly last week saying
that the aliya question must
now take precedence over
everything but defense.
But according to a source in
the prime minister's office,
the government executive re-
mains totally unprepared for
any major influx. "Shamir is
swamped," the source said,
referring to the intifada, the
premier's beleaguered
Palestinian elections in-
itiative, the runaway
unemployment problem (ex-
pected to reach 10 percent
this year), the worrisome
escalation of the Middle East
arms race, the economic reces-
sion, and the political in-
fighting that leaves little
time for the projected
historical emigration from
the third largest Jewish corn-
munity in the world.

David Levy's remarks last
week fortunately did not get
big play in the American
press. The Washington Post
Pulitzer-prize winning cor-
respondent here, Glenn
Frankel said he did not file a
story on the subject "because
Levy is not the government —
he has no power. If Shamir
had said it, it would have
been a different thing."

David Levy's speech can be
likened in nature to the ir-
responsible statement made
in 1984 by the then Jewish
Agency chairman, Aryeh
Dulzin, which pried off the lid
on the secret rescue of Ethio-
pian Jews. The possibility
that Deputy Premier Levy
could one day succeed Shamir
as Israel's leader should set
off alarm bells everywhere. ❑

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
ongoing Palestinian uprising
is sharply dividing Israelis
between political and
ideological extremes and the
government is clearly alarm-
ed by the escalating strife.
The Cabinet is expected to
convene shortly a special ses-
sion devoted entirely to the
17-month-old intifada and the
increasingly serious confron-
tations between the left and
right in Israel.
Last week, Jews clashed
with Jews at the Erez check-
point at the entrance to the
Gaza Strip.
Fistfights developed bet-
ween leftists carrying food
and medical supplies to the
Arab refugee camps in Rafah
and Jewish settlers and right-
wing activists who attempted
to block them. The Israel
Defense Force had to separate
the two groups.
Israeli journalists also were
assaulted by settlers in the
West Bank town of Ariel. A
photographer was pistol-
-- whipped by a settler amid
shouts of "beat them up, turn
over their cars."
Last weekend, about 30,000
Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv's
Malchei Yisrael Square to
protest against the recent
wave of Jewish settler
violence against Palestinian
villages in the West Bank and
their abuse of IDF soldiers
trying to restrain them.
The demonstration was
organized by the Peace Now
movement. Its theme, "A
Coalition for Peace," em-
phasized "the sanctity of
human life and the honor of
the IDF."
It was the first mass rally
by Peace Now with which the
Labor Party publicly
identified.
Amos Oz, the prominent
Israeli author, called the set-
tlers who rampaged through
Arab villages a "fanatical,
freedom-hating Jewish Hez-
bollah" who "threaten to
destroy all that is holy."
Hezbollah is the rabidly
anti-Israel Shiite Moslem
fundamentalist organization
in Lebanon that has clashed
frequently with the IDF.

Nazi-Burned
Shul Honored
New York (JTA) — The first
synagogue in Poland burned
by the Nazis after they invad-
ed that country in September
1939 was remembered there
Tuesday.
A plaque was placed on that
day at the former site of the
main synagogue of Katowice.
The idea came from a group
of Israelis originally from
Katowice.
