PASS 94
An Israeli policeman strikes a Palestinian woman with the barrel of his rifle.
n the wake of the Hebron mas-
sacre — and particularly since
the institution of the Shamgar
Commission of Inquiry and the
banning of the Kach and Kahane
Chai movements — Israel has
been forced to grapple with a
number of painful issues that
most of its citizens have preferred
to ignore for the better part of a
generation.
Foremost among these is the
blatant discrimination against
Palestinians and in favor of the
settlers in the West Bank and
Gaza through the application of
two sets of laws in the same
patch of territory: Israeli law for
Jews (with all the rights and re-
straints of Israel's democracy),
and a mixture of Jordanian and
military law for Palestinians,
who essentially enjoy no civil
rights under this system.
This situation is not new, of
course, and the built-in double
standard has been remarked
upon, mostly by leftist oppo-
nents, for years. But it took the
Hebron massacre to focus at-
tention on how lopsided the in-
equality has become.
In Hebron, for example, some
120,000 Palestinians have been
kept under curfew since Feb. 25
— during the holy month of Ra-
madan — to protect the 40 Jew-
ish families living in their
midst. Rather than confine the
settlers for their safety, the IDF
permits them to pursue their
lives normally, while the rest of
Hebron remains cooped up at
home, unable to go to work or
to school.
What's more, it's being fore-
cast that they may remain in
this state until after the
Passover holiday, if not longer.
Yet the extended curfew is
not the only — or even the most
damaging — of the discrimina-
tory practices that have been
highlighted in the past weeks.
Far more sensational was the
revelation, made during testis
mony before the Shamgar Com-
mission by Dep. Commander
Meir Tayar, the commander of
the Border Police in Hebron,
that all Israeli soldiers and po-
lice in the West Bank have
strict orders not to shoot at any
settler who is directing "pur-
poseful fire at locals" (IDF ar-
got for shooting at Palestinians).
Instead, they are to "take cov-
er," wait until the settler has
emptied his magazine, and then
"overcome him by other means."
As their subsequent ques-
tions showed, members of the
inquiry commission were as-
tounded by the disclosure.
"Suppose the settler is shoot-
ing at you," said former Chief of
Staff Moshe Levi. "You can't do
anything until he changes his
magazine and then pull at his
leg?"
"You can't shoot him in the
leg?" pressed Nazareth District
Court Judge Abd el-Rahman
Zouabi, the one Arab on the five-
man panel, who has become the
star of the commission for his
tough, insistent questions.
"No," Mr. Tayar replied de-
finitively.
Later that afternoon, Brig.
Gen. Shaul Mofaz, the com-
mander of the Israeli forces in
the West Bank, explained the
policy in terms of blanket defi-
nitions. "An Arab who carries a
weapon is a terrorist," he said.
"A Jew who has a gun is de-
fending his life and is allowed
to shoot."
