Tel Aviv (JTA) — Palestin-
ians by the thousands at-
tended rival demonstrations
in the West Bank last
weekend, some ready to em-
brace peace, others still
clamoring for violence. No
clashes were reported bet-
ween opposing groups.
Advocates of armed
struggle clearly out-
numbered those who turned
out to support peace talks
with Israel.
The largest pro-peace rally
drew about 500 Palestinians
and Israelis bearing olive
branches to the Friends
School in Ramallah. Held
under the banner, "Two
Peoples Speak Peace," the
rally, inspired by Peace
Now, described itself as the
largest joint peace demon-
stration ever held by Arabs
and Jews.
But it was dwarfed by a
rally of several thousand Pa-
lestinians in Nablus pro-
testing the Madrid peace
conference under the slogan,
"The Land is our identity;
liberate it with the gun and
the Koran."
That gathering, and
several others of the anti-
peace camp, were organized
by the Islamic fundamenta-
list Hamas movement,
which had agreed in advance
not to interfere with the ral-
ly in Ramallah.
At a demonstration of
about 500 Palestinians in
Arraba near Jenin, the
featured speaker was Ali
Abu Hilal of the radical
Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, a
breakaway faction of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization.
He urged the PLO to
withdraw its support from
the U.S.-sponsored peace
talks before -it is forced to
make more concessions.
Mr. Hilal, a recently
returned deportee, had been
proposed for membership on
the official Palestinian dele-
gation to the Madrid peace
conference. Israel allowed
him to return to the West
Bank in exchange for the
body of Samir Assad, the
Israeli Druse who died of
unknown causes while held
in Lebanon by the Dem-
ocratic Front.
But Mr. Hilal, who had
been deported to Jordan five
years ago for terrorist ac-
tivities, did not take part in
the talks, partly because of
his own opposition to the
peace process and partly be-
cause Israel would probably
have refused to accept him.

The Democratic Front has,
in fact, split over the peace
process. Opposing the talks
is a group led by the former
head of the whole DFLP,
Nayef Hawatmeh. That is
the group to which Abu
Hilal belongs, according to
Ha'aretz Washington cor-
respondent On Nir.
Meanwhile, a group of
about 70 Arab and Jewish
peace advocates was forced
to move its rally from the
Israeli town of Givat Haviva
to a site on the 1967 "Green
Line," the unofficial boun-
dary between Israel proper
and the West Bank.
Peace Now said the site
had to be changed because
the Israel Defense Force
refused to allow West Bank
Arabs to enter Israel.

Man Caught
With Bombs

Nwe York (JTA) — Police
in Buenos Aires apprehend-
ed a man last week in front
of the Ciudadela Jewish
cemetery who was found to
be carrying four powerful
time bombs, the Anti-
Defamation League re-
ported.
The timer on one of the
bombs had already been ac-
t iv at ed. When police
detonated the bomb in an
empty lot, the resultant ex-
plosion broke windows and
was felt as far as 20 blocks
away, ADL said. The three
other bombs were defused.
The bombs were made of
trotyl, a powerful explosive
used in the military.
The man arrested, Jose
Maizon, about 40 years old,
was apprehended after
cemetery officials became
suspicious of his repeated
entry into the cemetery.
Rabbi Morton Rosenthal,
director of ADL's Latin
American Affairs Depart-
ment, praised the "prompt
response of the police, which
prevented the possible loss of
innocent lives and the mas-
sive destruction of tomb-
stones."
According to Rabbi Rosen-
thal, the Ciudadela
cemetery has been attacked
three times in recent years:
in 1987, 1988 and 1990.
Another Jewish cemetery
outside Buenos Aires was at-
tacked April 30 by a neo-
Nazi group that destroyed
about 100 tombstones. In-
vestigators are looking into
whether Maizon has ties to
this or any other extremist
group that has previously
attacked Jewish cemeteries.
