Palestinians
Cheer Hussein

Hebron (JTA) — The
writing on the wall for
Saddam Hussein says
"Defeat," but Palestinians
are refusing to read it.
Jubilant residents of
Nablus, the largest city in
the West Bank, took to the
streets Tuesday, rejoicing in
what they called Saddam
Hussein's "victory."
When the Iraqi president
announced his troops would
withdraw from Kuwait in
keeping with U.N. resolu-
tions, many residents of
Nablus climbed to the roof-
tops to praise God.
"Allah Akhbar" (God is
great), they chanted, the
same slogan they used when
Iraqi missiles hit Tel Aviv.
As some of them expressed
it, the fact that Hussein
withstood 38 days of poun-
ding by a multinational
allied coalition led by a
superpower spelled victory,
not defeat.
Theirs was an expression
of total support for Hussein,
regardless of the conse-
quences. If there was
criticism of the man who led
his people to disaster, it was
not heard.
In Hebron, residents
showed more restraint than
in Nablus. The streets
hummed with activity, even
as authorities continued to
prevent most Arab workers
from returning to work in
Israel.

Emigre Plan
Is Criticized

New York (JTA) — A new
proposal to increase the
number of Soviet Jews
allowed to enter the United
States is dangerous and
counterproductive, accor-
ding to a former longtime
Soviet Jewish refusenik now
living in Israel.
Yuli Kosharovsky, who
was often jailed and harass-
ed during the 18 years he
waited to emigrate, warned
the plan would leave Soviet
Jews "sitting on their suit-
cases and waiting," instead
of boarding planes to go to
Israel.
The Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews proposed last
week that the U.S. govern-
ment should, in effect, waive
its Soviet refugee quota and
allow all Soviet Jews who
have already applied to im-
migrate to the United States
this year.
Some 40,000 Soviet Jews
will be allowed to enter the
United States as refugees
this year. But more than
100,000 others have applied,
