at the non-official level, by near-
ly all Israelis and Palestinians at
large. However, there are little
corners of realism here and there
— non-politicians who can see
that if peace is to come, compro-
mises will have to be made, even
in the Holy City.
"I don't see that our retaining
all of East Jerusalem is a solu-
tion, only because I don't think
the Palestinians will accept it. I
think it's a red line for them.
They've been saying it all along,
and I think they mean it — they'll
fight to the end over this issue,"
said one resident of east Talpiot
- a New York immigrant, modern
Orthodox, political moderate who
knows very well that his is a mi-
nority position in Jewish east
Jerusalem.
The resident, who preferred
not to give his name, is "not com-
fortable with the idea of a Pales-
tinian state two kilometers from
my apartment" - as close as Jebel
Mukaber, the neighboring Arab
village from which kids throw
stones at east Talpiot homes,

"I don't see that our
retaining all of east
Jerusalem is a
solution, only
because I don't
think the
Palestinians will
accept it.

Palestine - without redrawing a
physical border because this
would disrupt the functioning of
both the Arab and Jewish sectors,
cut Israel off from an area of the
highest biblical and historical im-
portance, and "because the Israeli
people would never accept it."
But Efrat is only talking about
Arab east Jerusalem; the Jewish
neighborhoods, are, of course, out
of the question.
Not for Ahmed Tibi, Yassir
Arafat and the PLO. For them,
all of east Jerusalem is Palestine.
For Israelis from Yitzhak Rabin
to Ariel Sharon, all of east
Jerusalem is Israel.
Officially, the Palestinians and
Israelis are not supposed to dis-
cuss Jerusalem for another three
years, when the final status ne-
gotiations get underway. In the
meantime, the Palestinians are
staking their claim, and Israel is
trying to figure out how to roll
them back.
A full-scale intifada hasn't
come to east Jerusalem yet, but
who knows?
"I think the struggle is only go-
ing to intensify," said the east Tal-
piot resident, "and anybody who
thinks differently is just kidding
himself." ❑

Air Strike Made
On Hezbollah

Tel Aviv (JTA) — After carrying
out a series of reconnaissance
missions over Lebanon earlier in
the week, the Israeli air force
launched a devastating air strike
on a Hezbollah training camp in
Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
The attack left 45 Hezbollah
fighters dead and about 100 more
wounded, according to official re-
ports from Beirut and the offices
of the Islamic fundamentalist
movement.
