32 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1989

sraeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir's Middle
East peace plan is "the
only game in town for the
Palestinians to play," a se-
nior advisor to George Bush
told Newsweek.
The endorsement of the
Shamir plan came as Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion chairman Yassir Ara-
fat, fuming that "patience
has its limits," announced
that he was fed up. PLO
"concessions" for peace had
been made in vain, he said,
and the PLO chief was order-
ing Palestinians in the Gaza
and West Bank to break off
any talks they have with Is-
raelis. In addition, a PLO of-
ficial told Newsweek, there
would be increased violence
in the West Bank "within
the next few weeks."
Israeli officials, according
to Newsweek, "dismissed
Arafat's latest threats as sa-
ber-rattling." And one
White House official told the
news magazine, "It may
take years to demonstrate to
the Israelis that... [the PLO
does] not constitute a
threat."
In the meantime, Israeli
columnist Moshe Zak charg-
ed in Ma'ariv that Arafat

"is deceiving Israeli minis-
ters." While the intifada,
wrote Zak, lets the PLO pre-
tend that it has abandoned
terrorism, it is really "a
framework for violence."

Yitzhak Shamir: The only game?

Zak noted that the number
of armed confrontations and
Molotov cocktails on the
West Bank have increased
lately.
An eventual settlement,
Zak stated, "will be ensured
by overcoming the intifada,
not by arriving at a reconcil-
iation with Arafat..."

George Will: No
Visa For Arafat

While diplomats debated
who had the more viable
Middle East peace plan,
syndicated columnist George
F. Will made the Bush ad-
ministration look not merely
foolish, but just plain stupid.
In last Sunday's column,
Will was adamant against
giving Yassir Arafat a visa
to attend the General As-
sembly at the United Na-
tions. Will's reasoning was
that Arafat was an unrepen-
tant, unmitigated and unde-
niable terrorist. Late last
year, sighed Will, the State
Department became Ara-
fat's "lyricist, coaxing him
to sing the right (well, the
State Department's idea of
the right) words." In ex-
change for direct talks with
the United States, Washing-
ton required the PLO to rec-
ognize Israel, accept U.N.
resolution 242 and renounce
terrorism.
"The PLO," according to
Will, "did none of the three,
but feigned agonies of sur-
render, so State ruled that it

had done all three."
The State Department still
insists that the PLO is not a
terrorist group since, wrote
Will, its policy is that "it

Yassir Arafat: Rattling sabers?

cannot be such an organiza-
tion because we are not
allowed to talk with terror-
ists."
