ewish Intifada," the head-
lines have been scream-
ing. From the sights,
sounds, and statistics of
the latest outburst by Jewish
settlers in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, it's
been hard to avoid
the parallel.
After the recent
murder of 30-year-
old Efraim Ayub-
bi, in an attack on
his car just out-
side Hebron, Jew-
ish settlers in the
West Bank and
Strip
Gaza
blocked intersec-
tions with rocks
and burning
stoned
tires,
Palestinian
passersby,
and
trashed
burned Pales-
tinian property,
and twice
clashed with
police in down-
town Jeru-
salem.
And in a
copy-cat ac-
tion designed
to show that if
Jews can't
travel unmo-
lested on the
roads, Arabs
won't be able
to either, un-
known but
believed-to-
be Jewish as- ...
sailants from the shadowy
Committee for Security on the
Roads shot at two Palestinians
from a passing car in the heart
of Samaria.
Of all the mayhem, however,
what shocked many Israelis
most was the sinister warning,
made on the prime-time televi-
sion news by Zvi Katzover of the
Kiryat Arba Local Council, that
as a result of the settlers being
"pressed to the wall," no one
should be surprised "if an in-
dividual settler enters some
Arab village and cuts downs 30-
40 people, if there's isn't some
murderous attack by [a settler]
who can no longer restrain him-
self."
In fact, an incident of that
sort— if not in scope — was not
long in coming. After the reve-
lation that five Palestinians as-
sociated with Yassir Arafat's
Fatah faction were responsible

for the kidnapping and murder
of Chaim Mizrachi three weeks
ago, settlers rioted near the
farm where the abduction had
taken place. When 30-year-old
Najib Hasouneh (the driver of

its own errant followers.
Just as Israel demands that
the PLO control its people, "so
we must exercise control over
our people," Environment Min-
ister Yossi Sarid told the gov-
ernment at its
meeting.

"This is
'gr

and we,
are
too,

Still, the
A strongest
parallel be-
tween the
1 Palestinian

and the set-
tler's protest
campaign is
; not what one
sees on TV
— the stones
and tires and
people out of
, control — but
the fact that,
in each case,
what began as
a spontaneous
outburst of
i anger
and
frustration
was quickly
44 harnessed for
political ends.
The settlers
naturally place
the accent on
what they be-
lieve to be the
grave injustice
committed to
them. They
charge the government, and
above all Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin himself, with
mounting a campaign to dele-
gitimize their cause and their
presence in the territories — to
the point of simply abandoning
them to their fate.
'There's been a sharp deteri-
oration in the security situa-
tion," explained Nissan
Slomiansky, head of the Elka-
na Local Council, in referring
to the deaths of seven Israelis
in terrorist actions in the ter-
ritories since the Sept. 13 sign-
ing in Washington.
"There's been a huge build-
up of anger, but Rabin hasn't
bothered to meet with us or try
to understand us. He saves his
understanding for the PLO."
"It's as though the state sim-
ply dismisses us," echoed Ash-

Jewish
settlers in the West Bank

Palestinian delegation member
Jamil Tarifi) came out of his
house nearby, one of the settlers
shot and critically wounded
him.
The IDF is reportedly having
difficulties tracking down the
assailants — and not only in
this case.
Despite there being over 10
incidents in which settlers have
inflicted harm on Palestinians
or damage to their property
over the past few weeks, only
one man has been arrested (and
he was quickly released). Little
wonder that questions are fi-
nally being raised about
whether the Israeli government
hasn't been as lax about keep-
ing its citizens in line in the ter-
ritories as the PLO has been
