rael's security as perhaps
the preeminent command-
ment of his generation. For
that reason, he believed that
the Israeli Army and even
its weapons were "holy."
For him, the very land of Is-
rael was so sacred that no
part of it could ever be given
over to non-Jewish rule. "I
tell you explicitly," he wrote
of Judea and Samaria, "that
the Torah forbids us to sur-
render even one inch of our
liberated land." A disciple of
Rabbi Kook, Rabbi Shlomo
Aviner, subsequently ex-
panded on Kook's command:
"Let me draw you an anal-
ogy. It's as if a man goes
into his neighbor's house
without permission and
stays there for many years.
When the original owner re-
turns, the invader claims:
`It's my house, I've been liv-
ing here for years!' All of
these years he has been
nothing but a thief. Now he
should make himself scarce
and pay rent on top of it.
Some people might say that
there's a difference between
living in a place for thirty
years and living in a place
for two thousand years. Let
us ask them: Is there a stat-
ute of limitations that gives
a thief the right to his
plunder?"
Many, perhaps most,
members of the Gush
Emunim are not bothered by
the prospect of annexing
Judea and Samaria without
giving its Arab inhabitants
full rights. They argue that
Israel is not obligated to ex-
tend political rights to peo-
ple who openly declare their
opposition to the state's
very existence - which, in-
deed, is the position of most
Arabs living on the West
Bank Other members do
advocate extending demo-
cratic rights to Arabs on the
West Bank, and believe that
a large migration to Israel of
Diaspora Jews will guaran-
tee that the state remains
Jewish.

Israeli Officers
Protest Policy
Tel Aviv (JTA) — More
than 100 career officers and
enlisted personnel
parachuted from two air
force Hercules transports
last week to call attention to
the Israel Defense Force's
new early retirement policy.
The policy is expected to
eliminate about 3,000 offi-
cer-rank jobs for budgetary
reasons over the next three
years.
