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 "Ninety nine percent of the Arabs of the Galilee identify passively with the Intifada." 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.
