Rebel Without
A Pause
LARRY DERFNER ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT
T
he first thing you do
when you meet
Knesset member Yael
Dayan is to look for
traces of her father, Moshe.
And you find them, mainly
in the jutting, high
cheekbones. You say to
yourself, "Ah, so this is what
he would have looked like
without the eyepatch."
But it is not her face that
leaves the strongest impres-
sion, it is her voice. She has
the lowest voice I have ever
heard on a woman, yet it is
not unpleasant. On the con-
trary, it is deep, warm and
throaty.
In the forthrightness of her
gaze, the way she brushes
her auburn hair off her face,
there's something of a
rebellious adolescent about
her, even at 52, something
bold and fresh and direct.
Yael Dayan stirs up the at-
mosphere. She breaks taboos
and sets off chain reactions.
"Politics is doing, not just
talking," she says. She
smokes nonstop, moving
between the couch to the

phone ringing in her North
Tel Aviv highrise apart-
ment, which is spare except
for the thousands of books
that deck the walls. She's
dressed darkly, including
black stockings, a touch,
maybe, from her bohemian
writer past. She plays a mes-
sage for me that she's saved
on her answering machine,
from an old woman cursing
her out.
There have been many
other messages, worse ones,
death threats. They've been
coming in for years now,
mainly, she says, from "the
extreme right" who don't
like the way she speaks out
against the occupation, and
shows up in public places
with Palestinian leaders like
Faisal Husseini and Hanan
Ashrawi.
The threats have been pil-
ing up in the last month or
so, "ever since I made an
issue out of the homosex-
uals," she adds. She col-
lected a cassette-full of them
on her answering machine
and gave the tape to the
police.
Before last year's elec-
tions, she was well-known as
a left- winger, a popular
novelist and journalist, and
Moshe Dayan's daughter.
She always got attention,
but then she became a
Yael Dayan:
Outspoken, antagonistic.
Knesset member on the
Labor list, and suddenly the
attention was heightened.
She didn't always have to
look for it. Last Yom Kippur
a newspaper photographer
was roaming the Tel Aviv <
beaches looking for shots of
how the apikorosim (non-
believers) were spending the
Day of Atonement, and he
found Yael Dayan laying on
the sand in a swimsuit, sun-
ning herself and reading a
book. The photo appeared in
the papers the next day,
prompting religious politi-
cians to say, "how dare
she?" That was her first
scandal as an elected official.
After a lull, she came back
to the center of controversy a
month ago, and since then,
she's drawn the wrath of the
right- wing and religious
community like no politician
since Shulamit Aloni, the
education minister who is
widely perceived as anti-
religious.
For now, at least, Ms.
Dayan has eclipsed Ms.
Aloni in that role. Over the
last month, Ms. Dayan, in
chronological order, flew to
Tunis to meet with Yassir
Arafat right after the
Knesset overturned the law
banning contacts with the
PLO; denounced the Hamas
deportations louder than
any other Laborite; hosted
some 100 homosexuals and
lesbians at a Knesset hear-
ing on discrimination; and
quoted a Torah passage to
the Knesset which, she said,
showed that King David and
his friend and comrade-in-
arms, Jonathan, were gay
lovers.
"Samuel was the first gay
Jewish chief of staff," she
said from the Knesset
podium last week during her
(
