that muted dissent was
undermined by the state-
ment, again by Yossi Sarid
— who is reputed to have
excellent contacts inside the
Security Services — that if
the Left held demonstrations
against Nusseibeh's arrest,
he would not be joining
them.
Working against this slide
into apathy and mutual
isolation between Israelis
and Palestinians, Peace Now
has maintained its regular
contacts with the local Pa-
lestinian leaders throughout
the crisis, despite its distaste
for their pro-Iraqi stand.
"We had hoped for a more
mature Palestinian leader-
ship," comments Janet
Aviad, one of the
movement's leaders. But she
also notes that Saddam Hus-
sein has been so attractive to
the Palestinians precisely
because he shook up the
whole region at a time when
all political movement
toward a solution of their
problem had come to a halt.
"The failure to get talks
going between Israelis and
Palestinians in Cairo last
year was critical," she ex-
plains. "It left the Palestin-
ians feeling that the intifada
had done no good at all."
According to polls, more
than 50 per cent of the
Israeli public was willing to
talk to the Palestinians last
May. But the right-wing
government that came to
power in June wouldn't
budge on that issue, so that
by August the Palestinians
were ripe to embrace a
"mover and shaker" like
Saddam Hussein.
Tsali Reshef, perhaps the
leading spokesman for Peace
Now, also encourages
Israelis to take a closer look
not only at the Palestinian
position but at their own.
"Shamir is popular
precisely because of what is
essentially a more dovish,
restrained policy," he told
an interviewer last week.
"Suddenly it appears that
all the myths of the whole
world's against us no matter
what we do' doesn't stand up
to the test . . . When we pur-
sue a rational policy that
takes global problems into
account, the world treats us
differently."
But the main message be-
ing conveyed by Peace Now
and like-minded groups is to
remind their countrymen
that once the present crisis
has passed, Israel will
return to its own political
realities.
And that means, above all,
facing up to the Palestinian
problem, whose solution is
likely to feature promi-
nently in the construction of
a "new order" for the Middle
East.
"The PLO has been badly
weakened," says Ms. Aviad,
both by backing the wrong
horse in the Gulf war and by
the deaths of three of its
senior leaders. As a result,
"the slogan 'Talk with the
PLO — Peace Now' doesn't
wash too well in Israel these
days."
Still, she points out, the
Palestinian National Coun-
cil resolutions of November
1988 have not been revoked,
so that neither has Peace
Now altered its position
that, for its own sake, Israel
must disengage from the
West Bank and Gaza Strip
and talk with the PLO. War
or no war, one thing hasn't
changed.
"We all know the Palestin-
ian political map," says Mr.
Reshef, "and we know that
the PLO is the most
moderate element on it."
There may be little new or
dramatic in that message,
and perhaps it will fall on
deaf ears as Israelis become
more hardened as a result of
the war. But in the eyes of
the peace camp, the growing
rift with the Palestinians
has only made their argu-
ment for negotiations more
compelling.
"When I stand facing the
abyss of hatred, I am ter-
rified," Uri Avneri wrote
last week. "If three years of
intifada and war have cre-
ated such a terrible gulf of
enmity . . . what kind of
frightening future awaits us
all in this country?"
"We mustn't sink into the
belief that there's no one to
talk to," warns Tsali Reshef
in a similar vein, "because if
we do, all that's left is to
build better shelters for the
next war."

Washington (JTA) — Jew-
ish leaders have criticized
the Bush administration for
what they see as an "unfor-
tunate" and "unnecessary"
public rebuke of Israeli Am-
bassador Zalman Shoval for
his criticisms of the
administration.
There is also the suspicion
that the administration's pi-
que over Israeli foreign aid
requests may be the real
reason for the flap over Mr.
Shoval's remarks.
Mr. Shoval has apologized
for criticizing the Bush ad-
ministration.
