f Israel is to survive it
must retain the West
Bank and Gaza, the
mayor of Ariel, Israel, said
during a lecture here this
week.
A guest of the Zionist
Organization of America,
Mayor Ron Nachman is in
the United States for two
weeks. He called the ter-
ritories Israel's only
safeguard against attacking
Arab armies.
To illustrate the ter-
ritories' importance, Mr.
Nachman turned to a
photograph showing the
outline of roofs against a
deep blue sky. The
photograph was taken from
a balcony in Ariel, located in
the West Bank, as an Iraqi
Scud missile approached Tel
Aviv. Patriots had been
launched in a counterattack,
but would miss the incoming
Scud.
"Now imagine that in-
stead of my photographer on
this balcony stood Mr.
Arafat," he said.
Ariel is 25 miles from Tel
Aviv.
The Allied forces took
months to liberate Kuwait
during the Gulf war, Mr.
Nachman said. Suppose
Israel alone had to face a
series of attacks. Without
the territories, "the only
place to run will be the
Mediterranean Sea," he
said.
Mr. Nachman, a member
of the Likud Party, is a
founder of Ariel. He spoke of
Israelis' terror during the
Scud attacks, and asked
whether audience members
believed the same nations
that backed Kuwait would
have lent their support to
Israel had Iraq instead in-
vaded the Jewish state.
"No!" a number of men
and women responded.
Mr. Nachman denounced
any description of Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir as a terrorist.
"That's PLO double-talk,"
he said. Mr. Shamir and ear-
ly Zionist fighting groups
"never killed civilians in the
street."
Palestine Liberation
Organization leader Yassir
Arafat, however, is a ter-
rorist, he said. "He is the
same face as Saddam Hus-
sein."
Of King Hussein, Mr.
Nachman said he was amaz-
ed the Jordanian king

Ariel Mayor Ron Nachman:
"Israel is not a laboratory."

received a pledge for U.S. aid
despite his support for
Saddam Hussein.
"What for? Why?" he ask-
ed of the aid. "Because he
said something positive on
behalf of the United States?"
Though repeatedly attack-
ed during the Gulf war,
Israel did not retaliate, Mr.
Nachman noted. "So who is
America's friend? And on
whom is the pressure com-
ing? Is it equality? I don't
think so."
Israel can sustain only so
much U.S. pressure, he said.
"Israel is not a laboratory."
He recalled the scores of
Jews fleeing Nazi Germany
who were refused permission
to enter the United States
during World War II.
"People were sent back to
the sea," he said. "People
forget it. I remind them."
Mr. Nachman said Jews
must learn better ter-
minology for describing
themselves and the ad-
ministered territories. He
called himself "a genuine
Jewish Palestinian." He, his
parents and grandparents
were born in pre-state Israel,
he explained.
He also said the territories
should be called by their
biblical names of Judea and
Samaria.
Ariel, which is home to
some 10,000 citizens, and
other cities in the territories
receive no funding from
leading American Jewish
organizations, Mr. Nachman
said. Yet residents of these
cities are "the defenders of
Israel."
During the Gulf war, Pa-
lestinians applauded Iraqi
missiles landing in Tel Aviv,
Mr. Nachman said.
"This will never happen
again," he said. "If they
want their own state, it will
have to be in Jordan."
