FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1991

war against the rebels, and
with Iraq's security ap-
paratus and military forces
still at his disposal, it was
clear that the Iraqi leader
retained the ability to wreak
vengeance on those who
dared to defy him.
"The bloodshed and dev-
astation he is likely to inflict
on the Kurds and Shi'ites
will make even his brutality
in Kuwait pale into in-
significance," said the Mid-
dle East source.
"I don't discount the possi-
bility that America would
have become involved in a
fractious civil war, but the
risks of America sitting on
its hands while Saddam
Hussein consolidates his
power once again are even

more terrible to con-
template."
The Bush administration
may be gambling that the
humiliating terms of the
proposed UN ceasefire
resolution, which will force
Saddam Hussein to disman-
tle his weapons of mass
destruction and pay compen-
sation to Kuwait, is suffi-
cient to push the Iraqi leader
over the precipice.
It is probably wrong.
Washington must factor into
its calculations that Saddam
Hussein's greatest proven
strength is his ability to sur-
vive — and that his survival
over the past two decades
has been achieved through
the brutal exercise of terror
against his own people. ❑

Bush Unmoved On New
Building In E.Aerusalem

Washington (JTA) — Pres-
ident Bush still believes
Israel should not build new
neighborhoods in parts of
Jerusalem that Jordan held
from 1949 to 1967.
"The problem of set-
tlements is a problem where
we have had a difference
with the Israeli govern-
ment," Mr. Bush said during
a "roundtable interview" at
the White House with 16
journalists from religious
media organizations.
"We are not going to
change our policy, and our
policy is that beyond the so-
called 'Green Line,' set-
tlements should not be
expanded," he said.
The disagreement is not
only about whether the
Israeli government has the
right to build and expand
Jewish settlements in the
West Bank and the Gaza
Strip. It also centers on the
status of parts of Jerusalem
that lie beyond the Green
Line, including East
Jerusalem, as well as newer
neighborhoods on the north
and south sides of the city.
The Bush administration
regards these areas as part
of the West Bank and
therefore "occupied ter-
ritory." Israel, which annex-
ed East Jerusalem shortly
after capturing it in 1967,
considers the burgeoning
united city as its capital.
"I would like to hope that
it will never be divided
again," Mr. Bush said. "The
fate of Jerusalem, the final
status of Jerusalem should
be handled in a negotiated
manner, and certainly there
will not be any dictation to

the people of Israel on how
that's handled."
But until that time, he
said, Israel should not build
in the disputed areas.
The president was respon-
ding to a question from the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
the only Jewish organization
represented at the White
House meeting. But he did
not directly answer the
question, which was
whether the administration
believes Soviet Jewish im-
migrants have a right to live
in Jerusalem.
The question of Soviet
Jews settling in East

"The fate of
Jerusalem should
be handled in a
negotiated
manner."
— George Bush

Jerusalem became a source
of contention last year, when
it became one of the reasons
given for holding up U.S.
guarantees for $400 million
in loans Israel sought to
build housing for Soviet im-
migrants.
The guarantees were final-
ly provided in February,
when the Israeli government
convinced the United States
that it was not government
policy to send Soviet Jews to
the territories, even though
it apparently made no such
commitment about
Jerusalem. Moreover, the
Israeli government has
maintained that Jews are
free to live anywhere they
desire.
