willing to relinquish ter-
ritory for a Palestinian
homeland, and said she
would welcome an interna-
tional conference on the
issue.
Mrs. Hertz, Mr. Epel and
Mrs. Damraur-Kalo said
Israelis are eager to see
Saddam Hussein's regime
toppled.
"Israelis do not want to see
Saddam Hussein continue,"
Mrs. Hertz said. "The
United States cannot stop
until he's finished."
"He has to be disarmed,
his war machinery taken
out," Mrs. Damraur-Kalo
added. "Hitler wasn't
stopped and look what he
did."
Closer to home, Jewish
Community Council exec-
utive director David Gad-
Harf said concern in Israel
will remain high as long as
Hussein is in power.
"Israel would be under-
standably concerned if the
end result is Saddam Hus-
sein retaining power in Iraq
with a portion of his military
intact," Mr. Gad-Harf said.
"Unless the Iraqi people
depose Saddam Hussein, and
his military is disbanded,
Israel will be unable to put
their gas masks away."
Sivan Maas of the Israel
Program Center said the
focus of the Middle East
after the Gulf war will shift
directly to Israel.
"There's no question that
there is still a military
threat in the region against
Israel," she said. "I think
that there's a very strong
need in Israel to find a solu-
tion to the West Bank situa-
tion. I think the status quo
in the territories is not good
for Israel. Even though we
didn't believe there was a
linkage between the Iraqi
withdrawal from Kuwait
and the territories, there's
no question there must be
some solution to ease the
threats in the Middle East."
Batya Lerner, who lives
outside of Tel Aviv and
whose daughter, Gila Natan
lives in Southfield, says that
Israelis still go to sleep each
night restlessly expecting an
incoming Scud.
Mrs. Lerner added that
Israelis are worried the U.S.
might pressure them into
some sort of security-
threatening agreement con-
cerning the Palestinians.
"We have to hope that the
U.S. learned a lesson and
won't turn their backs on us
when they talk about doing
something for these 'poor'
Arabs. These Arabs were
dancing on the rooftops
when there was a missile at-
tack here." ❑
