national politics but already
controls the municipal coun-
cils in several large Arab
towns and is growing fast.
While a final decision has
yet to be taken, statements
made by the Movement's
spiritual leader, Sheih Ab-
dallah Nimr Darwish, in-
dicate that it will participate
in the next Knesset elections,
probably as part of an na-
tionalistic Arab list.
When those elections take
place in 1992 (or earlier if the
Shamir Government falls
beforehand), there will be
some 350,000 Arabs eligible
to vote, of whom an estimated
80 percent will go to the polls.
Should three-quarters of
them support a joint Arab
list, as appears possible, it
would almost certainly be the
third largest party in Israel's
next parliament (after Labor
and the Likud).
Such a list will not get as
many seats as it might have
gotten before the mass im-
migration of Russian Jews
brought in tens of thousands
of new voters, who will claim
their share of the electoral
pie. But no matter how many
seats they win in the next
elections — or what happens
to Mr. Miari — the "Palesti-
nian citizens of Israel" are a
force to be reckoned with in
the years ahead. ❑
Elephant Trainer
Charms Israel
Ramat Gan, Israel — Yuri
Navotovsky, a 41-year-old
Soviet Jewish immigrant to
Israel has taken seriously the
biblical exhortation to honor
the life of beasts — "A
righteous man regards the
soul of his beast." The only
odd part of this is that he's do-
ing it as a professional
elephant trainer in Israel,
where those who are more
traditionally skilled live grip-
ped by fear of unemployment.
Before arriving in Israel, Mr.
Navotovsky was guaranteed
employment as an animal
trainer at the Safari in
Israel's National Park in
Ramat Gan.
For Mr. Navotovsky, animal
training in Israel takes on na-
tionalistic overtones. A stur-
dy man with a slight potbelly,
dressed in a green T-shirt,
work pants and hiking boots,
he says, "Israeli animals are
so smart because they live on
Jewish land." This unusual
theory seems reinforced by an
elephant who bows her head
to both Hebrew and Russian
greetings. Standing on a
small circus platform, she
continues to show with a few
Cossack-style heel clicks. And
