Jerusalem

Continued from preceding page

Asked about this seeming
contradiction, that Jews
should move into the
Moslem Quarter when
Arabs were banned from the
Jewish Quarter, Ms. Goods-
tein-Hilbuch said she doesn't
agree with the court deci-
sion. "I don't know if I'd be
real excited if Arabs were
going to move into this
building, but I don't think it
should be illegal for them to
do so. I don't think there
should be a double stan-
dard."
Until the day of Jewish-
Arab integration comes to
Jerusalem, Ms. Goodstein-
Hilbuch's four children play
only in the Jewish streets of
the Old City. "There's a
clear dividing line, and they
know not to cross it," she
says. When she goes into the
Moslem Quarter for work,
she is escorted by yeshiva
students carrying walkie-
talkies and guns.

And so Jerusalem, no
matter what the holiday
posters and advertisements
say, remains two cities —
one for its roughly 400,000
Jews and another for its
150,000 Arabs.
Immediately after the Six
Day War, the Arabs of
newly-conquered east
Jerusalem were offered
Israeli citizenship, with the
right to vote. Fewer than
1,000 of them accepted. They
want their own Palestinian

state, with east Jerusalem
as its capital.
But if there is one political
issue on which all Israelis,
from Kach to Peace Now,
can agree, it is that
Jerusalem must never agaire
be redivided, that it must
remain under Israeli
sovereignty.
With Jews afraid to step
over the line into the Arabff
sector, isn't Jerusalem still a
C.?
divided capital?
"Is Washington, D.C., a
divided capital?" countered
Bonnie Boxer, spokeswoman
for the Jerusalem
municipality. "Is Los
Angeles divided? Would you
rather spend the night ir,
east Jerusalem or East L.A.?
I know what your answer
should be."
I honestly don't know the
answer. The day after Lag
B'O-mer, less than 24 hourS-
after I visited Jerusalemo
Yosef Gruman, a 15- year-
old yeshiva student, was,/
stabbed in the chest by
someone carrying a butcher
knife who disappeared
afterward. Young Gruman
was on his way home from
praying at the Western--
Wall. He suffered a punc-
tured lung, but was recover-
ing. He was stabbed just out-c
side the Old City's Nablus
Gate, one of the entrances to
the Moslem Quarter. He was
a boy wearing a yarmulke'
and earlocks, and he was on—
the wrong side of town. 1111

ejoice with
Jerusalem, and be
glad with her, all
those who love her . . . For
the Lord said, Behold, I will
extend peace to her like a
river and the glory of the
nations like a flowing
stream."
These words of Isaiah are
especially timely today as
the people of Israel and its
friends across America and
around the world mark the
25th anniversary of
Jerusalem's reunification
and her development into
one of the world's most beau-
tiful and most dynamic
cities.

racy, a spirited nation whose

people express their opinions,
freely and openly and take
pride in their differing views
on political, economic,
cultural and religious
matters. But on two issues
there is universal agreement
— the urgency of a genuine
and secure peace, and the
necessity that Jerusalem
remain a unified city, the
eternal capital of Israel.
Under the enlightened
administration of Mayor;
Teddy Kollek, Jerusalem
since 1967 has served as a
model of wise and pro-
gressive governance, a city
of many different peoples
and many different faiths, of
gardens and playgrounds,
theaters and universities
and museums. Here are
Aksa Mosque and the
Mosque of Omar, the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre and
the Garden of Gethsemane,
the Western Wall and the
Shrine of the Book.
