Why should Jews want to have a close relationship with them?' " Mr. Zuckerman described the foreign minister as a lit- erate, intelligent man — un- til he spoke of Israel and Jews, "at which point he went into a level of rage and prejudice." The day after the foreign minister charged that Israel had started each of the Israeli-Arab wars, the Wash- ington Institute contingent met with Jordan's King Hussein, "who acknowl- edged," said Mr. Zuckerm- an, "that it was the Arabs who started the 1967 war." But in Jordan, Islamic fundamentalist members of Parliament displayed "zealotry and intensity" in predicting a jihad (holy war) and the recovery of all lands that had at any time in the past been ruled by the Moslems. The fundamentalists also asserted that Jews control America, created Commu- nism and ran the Soviet Union before destroying it. Yet Mr. Zuckerman came away from the journey "more hopeful about the peace process than I was before." Fostering this op- timism was Syria's loss of its military and economic patron, the Soviet Union; and Jordan's perception that Israel can be a buffer bet- ween itself and Iraq. The Hashemite Kingdom, he said, is ruled by some "very realistic people" who believe that Israel might bolster the Hashemite Kingdom's "vulnerability to both Syria and Iraq if either should try to take over Jordan." Yet, at the same time, Mr. Zuckerman is highly wary of Palestinians ("They inhibit the desires of the Jordanians in the current Mideast peace talks because they have a . different agenda") and of the White House of George Bush, whose policies regar- ding Israel the columnist has compared to those of Neville Chamberlain and Czechoslovakia in 1938: "The Bush Administration takes every occasion to batter Israel publicly and resists every occasion to praise it. The fact that George Bush never thanked the Israelis (for not respon- ding to Iraqi Scud missile at- tacks) when he spoke to Congress after the Gulf War was quite astounding to them, as is his policy change on West Bank settlements." These suspicions do not de- ter Mr. Zuckerman from championing his brand of an Arab-Israeli peace. "I don't think Israel can — or should — maintain con- trol over the lives of so many Palestinians in the West Bank," he said, while noting that Israel took control of the West Bank in a defen- sive war in 1967. The higher ground on the West Bank should remain in Israeli hands, he said, while, in "large areas of the West Bank where the bulk of the Arab population lives, perhaps 70 percent, espe- cially around Hebron and Nablus, essentially the Pa- lestinians should run their own lives in every way." But after his trip to the re- gion, Mr. Zuckerman was not sure just who would yield their land to Israel. "I asked the Syrian foreign minister whether he shared Bush's view of territorial compromise. He said, 'Not on your life. This doesn't apply to us. Maybe to the West Bank, but not to the Golan Heights.' "And of course, the Pales- tinians felt the same way: 'It might apply to the Golan Heights, but not to the West Bank.' The Image As a columnist, Mor- timer Zuckerman knows a lot about the power of an image. So his views on the image of Israel and its Arab neighbors should be heeded. Both, he said, suffer from image problems. Israel's, he said, stems from its knack for "presenting its case too often in negative terms and not in positive terms." The Arab states' poor image is somewhat ameliorated, he said, by the historical amnesia of Americans. "This country," he said, "forgets things quickly. We forget what the Pales- tinians and the Jorda- nians did in the Gulf War alone. They are not friends of the West in the sense that we would like to consider our allies. Israel is a true ally, yet this Administration views it as the enemy and the Arabs as our friends." ❑ A.J.M.
