"The Superstar Dealer"

"The Bigger We Get . . . The Better Deals You Get!"

Washington (JTA) — The
House of Representatives
joined the Senate this week
in declaring that
"Jerusalem is and should
remain the capital of the
State of Israel."
Tuesday's 378-34 House
vote on the non-binding
resolution came despite a
threat from a little-known
Palestinian terrorist group,
which announced it would
kill Americans unless the
Senate rescinded an iden-
tical resolution it adopted a
month ago.
"Unless the American
Senate withdraws its deci-
sion ... to consider
Jerusalem an eternal capital
for Israel within 10 days .. .
every American ... in
Islamic countries or outside
will be considered a target
for revenge and violence,"
said the Islamic Jihad-Beit
al-Maqdis in a statement
delivered Tuesday to the An-
Nahar newspaper in Beirut,
Lebanon.
The resolutions were in-
itiated by Sen. Daniel
Moynihan and Rep. Eliot
Engel, both New York
Democrats, after President
Bush said he was concerned
about Jewish settlements in
East Jerusalem.
While American presi-
dents have objected to Jew-
ish settlements in the West
Bank, only Bush has raised
questions about Jews living
in parts of Jerusalem, which
Israel considers to be its in-
divisible capital.
The Bush administration,
like prior ones, has not rec-
ognized Jerusalem as
Israel's capital and believes
the city's final status should
be decided through negotia-
tions, though it opposes
redivision of the city. It did
not lobby against the resolu-
tion.
The House action drew
praise from the American
Israel Public Affairs Com-
mittee and the American
Jewish Congress.
Thomas Dine, AIPAC's
executive director, said he
was "delighted" with the
vote by House members, say-
ing they "affirmed their
commitment to Jerusalem as
Israel's capital."
But House critics of the
resolution said it was un-
necessary and untimely
even though they believed
Jerusalem would remain the
capital of the Jewish State.
"If we really want to help
the cause of peace, this is not
the way to go about it," said

House Republican Leader
Robert IL Michel of Illinois.
However, he voted for the
resolution anyway.
Rep. David Bonior (D-
Mich.), who is of Arab des-
cent, was the sole lawmaker
to raise questions about the
Israeli government's admis-
sion this week to aiding Jew-
ish settlers in their efforts to
buy a building in the Chris-
tian Quarter of Jerusalem's
Old City.
Bonior called passage of
the resolution "especially
pernicious" coming soon
after that incident.
"The Likud government
has been providing this aid
while lying, lying about the
action, saying that they
were providing no such aid,"
Bonior said. "Today we
should be asking tough
questions" about whether
Congress should approve
$400 million in loan guar-
antees to Israel for settling
Soviet Jews in Israel,
"instead of passing this
resolution, which can only
encourage more destabiliz-
ing settlements."
The Michigan delegation,
including Reps. Sander
Levin and Howard Wolpe,
voted 12-5 for the resolution,
with one abstention. Voting
with Bonior against the
resolution were John Con-
yers Jr., George Crockett Jr.,
William. D. Ford and John D.
Dingell, all Democrats. Abs-
taining was J. Robert Trax-
ler, also a Democrat.
Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.),
who voted against the
resolution, argued that Con-
gress did not have to respond
"collectively" to what he
called Bush's
"misstatements."
Obey, who is chairman of
the Appropriations sub-
committee with jurisdiction
over foreign aid, said he
would have preferred to
have members of Congress
respond individually to
Bush's statement.
"I happen to personally
believe Jerusalem will re-
main the capital of Israel,
and that Jerusalem should
and will remain undivided.
Everybody knows that," he
said
But Rep. Dante Fascell (D-
Fla.), chairman of the For-
eign Affairs Committee,
argued that it was "incum-
bent, particularly given the
sensitivity of the political
situation in Israel" to calm
Israel's fears that the United
States was shifting its
stance on Jerusalem.
