Minister Of Transfer
free will: "A Jew who moves
from Leningrad to Tel Aviv
is transferred by free will.
For that kind of transfer,"
he says, "we don't need a
partner."
This is not quite as benign
as it sounds and Mr. Ze'evi
makes it clear that he is
willing to give nature a
nudge in order to hasten the
process.
Jordan, which he regards
as the natural home for the
Palestinians, controlled the
West Bank for 19 years from
1948 and in the last years of
its rule King Hussein suc-
ceeded in transferring
60,000 Palestinians to other
Arab states each year.
"It was very easy and
quite legitimate."
King Hussein did not per-
mit Palestinians to establish
universities or create in-
dustries.
Israel, he says bitterly,
made the mistake of attemp-
ting to woo the Palestinians
with acts of generosity: "We
established six universities
and 16 colleges in the ter-
ritories. And look what they
teach there — how to hate <
Jews, terror and intifada.
"We encouraged them to
start industries and we
supply them, each morning,

would degenerate into war
and nominated the
Norwegian explorer and dip-
lomat Dr Fridtjof Nansen to
settle the conflict.
"He came up with the idea
of transferring three million
Greeks and Turks between
the two countries. And for
that he was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize."
The second example he
offers, closer to home, con-
cerns the agreement by
former Israeli Prime Min-
ister Menachem Begin to
transfer several thousand
Jews from two towns and 14
settlements in the Sinai
Desert in order to conclude
the peace treaty with Egypt
in 1979.
"I didn't like it, the people
involved didn't like it, but
for the sake of peace they
were transferred."
When an Arab leader
comes to talk peace with
Israel, he says, "we will tell
him that the first and only
condition is that he must
take the Palestinians. Be-
cause of them, we have this
trouble between the Arab
countries and Israel."
The second form of
transfer which Mr. Ze'evi
advocates is that which is

BACKGROUND
Rehavam Ze'evi is ada-
mant that his plans for
transfer do not include
the 850,000 Arabs, Druse
and Bedouin who have
lived within Israel's
borders since the state
was established: "These
people are citizens and we
have to treat them as
citizens."
But if they are to re-
main citizens, he insists,
they must accept the
obligations as well as the
rights of citizenship. At
present, he says, Israeli
Arabs do not serve in the
army, only some seven
percent pay taxes, and
most disregard statutory
rules like building codes
and planning regulations.
"What we propose to
tell them is that if they
want to live here as
citizens they must fulfill
their obligations as well
as enjoy their rights.
"I know I cannot insist
that Israeli Arabs serve in
the army and face the
prospect of having to kill
their brothers. I under-
stand their predicament."
Instead, Mr. Ze'evi pro-
poses a formula that has
been adopted in Finland,
where pacifists are offered
the option of undertaking
national service for 22
months instead of serving
in the army for 11 mon-
ths.
If Israel's Arabs choose
not to spend three years
in the army after school
and a further one month a
year until the age of 55,
he proposes asking them
to spend six years in a na-
tional service program.
And if they reject this op-
tion, he says, they will be
considered residents, not
citizens. As such, he says,
they will be denied the
right to vote or be elected
to public office.
The Druse have chosen
to serve in the army and,
while it is not compulsory
for the Bedouin, they also
serve: "I believe that
many, many Arabs will
choose to serve, too," he
says.
If Israel can live with
the Druse and the
Bedouin, why not also
with the Palestinians?
"Because," Mr. Ze'evi
snaps back, "the Druse
and the Bedouin have no
intention of changing the
flag of this country."
