.
ast week, the number
four record on the Is-
raeli charts was a song
by Nurit Gallron, called
"After Us The Deluge." Bann-
ed by the army radio station,
it is a bitter portrait of the
contrast between daily life in
the big city and the violence
of the intifada in the West
Bank and Gaza. "There is a
land of stones and Molotov
cocktails / and there is Tel
Aviv, burning with nightclubs
and intrigue," says the song.
Indeed, 20 months after the
start of the Palestinian upris-
ing, it sometimes seems that
Tel Aviv, Israel's metropolis,
is a separate country, divorc-
ed from the harsh realities of
the conflict with the Palesti-
nians. This sense of isolation
is expressed in a popular joke,
that "everything north of the
Yarkon River is negotiable";
the Yarkon is the muddy
stream that serves as the
northern boundary of the city.
This summer, it has been
business as usual in Tel Aviv.
In recent weeks, a number of
fancy restaurants and new
night clubs have opened their
doors; theater lovers are flock-
ing to see the Hebrew version
of Cabaret; and foreign rock
stars like Eric Clapton and
Suzanne Vega have packed
the parks and stadiums.
Newspapers advertise expen-
sive summer vacation
packages (the latest hit, a
21-day excursion to China)
and tens of thousands crowd
the beaches each weekend.
There is an air of festivity
and prosperity in the city. In
outlying development towns
there is massive unemploy-
ment, but Tel Aviv, which
calls itself -"the Big Orange"
in imitation of New York's
"Big Apple" shows little sign
of economic hardship or polit-
ical tension. Last Tuesday
night at 11 p.m., a line of peo-
ple waited for a table at a
trendy Tel Aviv Italian res-
taurant. The owner, a former
film producer named Rafi,
looked at the crowd, shook his
head happily and said,
"Recession? What recession?
Intifada? What intifada?"
Several months ago, after a
spate of Arab terror in the
cities, the army sent tens of
thousands of Palestinians
who work in Tel Aviv's
restaurants, building sites
and municipal services, back
to their homes. At _the time,
some people predicted that
the Big Orange would have to
learn to live without Arab
workers, but today, they are
all back on the job: Some of
these Palestinians spend the
week doing menial chores in
the big city, and then throw
rocks at Israeli soldiers on the
weekends.
This seeming anomaly is
only one of many. The in-
tifada remains .a major news
story here, but people have
adjusted to it and see it as an
almost normal part of life.
Not long ago, the head of
military training told a radio
interviewer that the army is
now budgeting troops for
police duty in the West Bank
and Gaza as a routine part of
