and the crowd seemed
distracted, perhaps by the
dozens of squalling children.
But towards the end, he
gathered force and rhythm,
and the people began ap-
plauding. "Don't listen to
the false propaganda of
Labor and the Left," he said,
gesturing with his right fist
as if he were banging a
gavel. "Go to the polls and
vote Likud, Likud, Likud,
Likud, Likud, until victory."
Off the stage, the smiling
Mr. Begin was surrounded
by men shaking his hand
and old women leaning in to
kiss him. "I hope you suc-
ceed just like your father
did," said one of the ladies.
Mr. Begin went to his car
and was driven on to his
next campaign stop. He did
not visit the sandwich shop
here, a half-mile or so from
Likud headquarters, where
a half-dozen locals were
gathered. One of them, Bat-
sheva Shani, who owned the
stationery store next door,
planned to vote Likud like
she always had. The others
— a clerk and a postal
worker, a soldier on leave, a
young man who worked in
the sandwich shop and his
unemployed friend — had
lost faith in the Likud.
But Mr. Rabin, for all his
war heroics, hadn't managed
to impress them, either.
"Labor, according to what
I read, wants to give up too
much," said Natan Wasser-
man, the sandwich maker.
"Labor is too far to the Left.
But the Likud, they only
come around here at election
time. Menachem Begin was
the greatest, but since then
they've gone down. A lot of
ex-soldiers I know are plann-
ing to vote for Raful (former
army chief of staff Rafael
Eitan, head of the far-right
Tsomet party). But I'm not
voting for anybody."
The unemployed Shahar
Sharabi also wasn't plann-
ing to vote. Neither was the
soldier, David Blinkes, a
Russian immigrant whose
father has been unemployed
since bringing the family to
Israel two years ago. All
three young men had one
thing on their minds —a trip
to the U.S. Each said he
planned to stay at least a few
months, but if it "worked
out," they would stay for
good.
"There's nothing to do
here," said Mr. Sharabi.
"America's the land of op-
portunity, so why not try?"
Rivka Zohar, a middle-
aged clerk, had what looked
like a permanent frown on
her face. She complained
that the young men of the
town had no work and no

future when they got out of
the army. Drugs and crime
were spreading. She wasn't
voting Likud this time, as
she had in the past.
But she remembered the
ma'abara, the transit camp
of tents and shacks she lived
in when her family came to
Israel in 1951, when Labor
was in power and the
Sephardim were on the
bottom, and she seemed
ready to spit at the idea of
voting for Mr. Rabin.
These are the disaffected
Likudniks that Labor is
banking on to put them over
the top. On June 23, as in
every election since the
Likud "revolution" of 1977,
Labor may have a rude sur-
prise in store. ❑

Farmer Injured
Aiding Couple

Jerusalem (JTA) — A Pa-
lestinian farmer was seri-
ously injured fighting off
three armed terrorists who
attacked an Israeli couple in
the farmer's greenhouse in
the Gaza Strip.
Amos Gueta, an Israeli
vegetable merchant, went to
the greenhouse in the nor-
them Gaza Strip to buy pro-__I
duce, accompanied by his'
wife, whose first name was
not given. As they entered,
he said, a young bearded
man whispered something to
the hothouse owner, who
immediately told his Jewish
customers to leave.
Before they could, three
men armed with
Kalachnikov assault - rifles
confronted them. They pull-
ed the triggers but the
weapons apparently
jammed.
Amos Gueta fled to a near-
by Jewish settlement. His
wife hid in the vegetable
storeroom while the farmer
fought the gunmen with his
fists against their knives. He
reportedly sustained serious
knife wounds.
Security forces found the
woman safe. The assailants
had fled.
The Guetas got a tongue-
lashing from Brig. Gen.
Yom-Tov Samiya, the Israel
Defense Force commander in
the Gaza Strip, for entering
the territory, which is cur-
rently sealed off as a danger
zone.
Four Israelis have been
murdered in the Gaza Strip
so far this year. The latest
was Rabbi Shimon Biran of
Kfar Darom, who was knifed
to death May 27. His death
followed by three days the
fatal stabbing of 15-year-old
Helena Rapp in Bat Yam.
