he American Jewish
community is always
cautious about openly
criticizing Israeli policy.
"We operate on the thesis that
Israel determines its own se-
curity needs," explained Sey-
mour Reich, president of the
American Zionist Movement.
"We should not be second-
guessing them."
Still, Mr. Reich acknowl- -
edges that there is growing
concern in the Jewish com-
munity that "Israel doesn't
seem to be getting anything in
return for the concessions
they've made" at the peace
talks.
Other Jewish activists are
more specific about security
concerns and possible territo-
rial concessions.
"We maintain that the con-
cession of land— particularly
in the Golan Heights—has se-
curity ramifications," said Tom
Neumann, executive director
of the Jewish Institute for Na-
tional Security Affairs. "It's
very different from Sinai
[which Israel relinquished in
its peace treaty with Egypt].
We're not talking about flat
land."
Mr. Neumann, who empha-
sized that Jewish groups here
should not be telling the Is-
raelis what to do, still argued
that the risks in returning any
territory are "tremendous."
"It's all speculative," he said.
"Some are making the argu-
ment that in this age of so-
phisticated technology, the
strategic value is land is re-
duced. But the lessons of the
Gulf War are that with all the
sophisticated technology and
air power, it still comes down
to bodies on the ground—and
that comes down to land and
geography."
Scud missiles, he argued,
can leap across vast dis-
tances—but they can do so
more accurately, with greater
payloads, from launch sites
closer to the targets.
As a result, Mr. Neumann
said, Israeli concessions must
be accompanied by "compen-
sating factors" like demilita-
rized buffer zones and
increased assistance from oth-
er countries.
That will mean a more ac-
tive—and more expensive—
role for the United States in
guaranteeing Israel's securi-
ty, including additional aid
and the possible use of Amer-
ican troops as part of a peace-
keeping force.

Already, some administra-
tion officials are beginning to
plan for that possibility, and
for what is certain to be a
fierce political fight over new
American economic assistance.
The expanded American
role would also result in a de-
crease in Israeli self-reliance;
according to some critics, it
would link Israel's security to
American support that could
evaporate if the cost proves too
high.
And a growing number of
critics in this country are ar-
guing that any return of terri-
tory could blow up in Israel's
face if the current surge in Is-
lamic fundamentalism con-
tinues.
Morrie Amitay, the former
director of the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC), has argued that
peace treaties with Arab gov-
ernments are particularly
risky in view of the rise in Is-
lamic fundamentalism and the

instability of every one of the
potential Arab signatories to
a peace treaty.
Hafez Assad and Jordan's
King Hussein might be willing
to sign accords with Israel, he
argued. But what about their
successors — especially if their
successors come from the
growing ranks of the Islamic
extremists?
Even Camp David, the only
successful model for Arab-Is-
raeli treaties, could be in jeop-
ardy if Egypt's Hosni Mubarak
falls to the Islamic extremists,
a prospect many analysts con-
sider increasingly likely.
"There is a lot of anxiety at
the grass roots in our commu-
nity. We saw that very clearly
at AIPAC this spring," Mr.
Amitay said, referring to the
group's annual policy confer-
ence where pro- Israel leaders
were taken aback by a strong
undercurrent of opposition to
the policies of the Rabin gov-
ernment.
But the strategic arguments
may be obscured by bitter par-
tisan wrangling in Israel that
is already spilling over into the
American Jewish community.
"As Israel polarizes over
these issues, there's going to
