Israel's Arabs Edging
Towards Violence?
ZE'EV CHAFETS
Israel Correspondent
F
rom the start of the
Palestinian intifada,
almost two years ago,
attention here has been fo-
cused on its implications for
the future of West Bank and
Gaza. But lately a new con-
cern has begun to emerge; the
impact of the uprising on the
650,000 Arabs who are Israeli
citizens.
Since the beginning of
1989, there has been a 120
percent increase in what the
police call "nationalistic
violence" by Israeli Arabs,
and it seems to be escalating.
In the past few weeks, Egged
passenger buses and private
automobiles in the Galilee
have been stoned and fire-
bombed; anti-Israeli slogans
have been dabbed on the
walls of Arab neighborhoods
in Jaffa, Tel Aviv's sister city;
and there have been numer-
ous acts of suspected arson.
In a recent radio interview,
Israeli Minister of Police
Chaim Bar Lev expressed
concern over the phenomenon
of domestic Arab unrest
which, according to him, is
less than three years old.
"Obviously, much of the
violence - is a reaction by
Israeli Arabs to the intifada,"
he said.
At the same time, Bar Lev
denied that the uprising is
spreading across the pre-1967
Green Line border into Israel.
"What you have in the ter-
ritories is an uprising against
the authorities," he pointed
out. "That's not what's hap-
pening in Israel."
The majority of Israel's
650,000 Arab citizens are, for
the most part, law abiding;
since the founding of the
state, comparatively few have
been involved in terrorism or
other forms of illegal na-
tionalist activity. Even now,
most Arabs are not involved
in overtly hostile activities,
but Israeli officials have little
doubt about where their sym-
pathies lie. According to
Albert Mustafia, commander
of the Northern District of the
Israeli police force, "Ninety-
nine percent of the Arabs of
the Galilee identify passively
with the intifada."
Experts here see this as
part of a wider trend. "Before
the Six Day War, most of us
considered ourselves Israeli
Arabs," said a prominent
Israeli-Arab journalist. "lb-
day, the vast majoriety see
themselves as Palestinians."
Support for this thesis came
from a recent poll, conducted
by another Israeli Arab, Dr.
Muhammed Mi'ari, among
Arab high school students.
Eighty five percent of those
polled said that they consider
themselves Arabs; 83 percent
said Palestinians; 26 percent
said Israeli Arabs; and only
seven percent said Israelis.
The same poll revealed an
extremely high degree of
alienation from Israel's
Jewish majority. Only 48 per-
cent of the students said that
they would be willing to work
in the same office with Jews,
41 percent were willing to
meet Jews socially, and only
34 percent said they would
want to live in the same
building with Jews.
These nationalistic sen-
timents are encouraged by
the Communist Party, still
the largest of all Arab

political parties in Israel, as
well as by Islamic fundamen-
talist groups which are par-
ticularly strong in the Little
Triangle area near Tel Aviv.
This summer, the Commu
nists and fundamentalists
sought to spread their views
by holding "intifada summer
camps" for Israeli Arab
children. At one, in the town
of Shafar Am, tents were
adorned with pictures of
Yassir Arafat and the former
Egyptian president, Gamal
Abdul Nassar, poems extoll-
ing the "children of the
stones" were recited, and
each day's camping ended
with the children standing at
attention and singing the
Palestinian anthem, "Baladi,
Baladi."
Anti-Israel propaganda has
become common ‘in the cities
and towns of the Galilee and
Little Triangle. Recently
police confiscated a video
cassette in which a religious
leader, Sheikh Ahmed El
Khatan, told viewers that,
"the Jew is your enemy today,
tomorrow and forever. . .
God's curse is upon them." El
Khatan called upon his au-
dience to attack Jews,
"whether they are Zionists or
not," with any means at their
disposal.
There is evidence that such
sentiments are increasingly
being translated into deeds.
