Campau • Hamtramck 873-3315 CI: DISTANCE page 53 complete, sovereign capital of Is- rael. We can compromise on everything for peace, and we need peace badly, but we can't com- promise on Jerusalem." And Karen Be'eri, 19, a soldier from the Negev town of Arad, said, "First of all, I'm in favor of the Palestinians having a Pales- tinian state. But Jerusalem is a problem. All of it must remain ours. If we give up part of east Jerusalem to the Palestinians, then Christians can come and claim a part for themselves. It's a question of who is in control, and I think it has to be us." In interviews at Ben-Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv's central bus station with about a dozen "av- erage" non-Jerusalemites, all but a handful said Jerusalem couldn't be touched. Most favored the peace process and certain other territorial concessions, certainly in Gaza. The only two who fa- vored giving the Palestinians a piece of Arab East Jerusalem ac- knowledged that this was a mar- ginal view in Israel. "When you bring up Jerusalem, people get all shook up and react with their emotions, not their intellect. But if you ask them if they ever take their fam- ilies to the Arab side of Jerusalem, they say 'No," said Yehoshua Weinpress, 43, a Transport Ministry employee from Ramat Gan, which borders on Tel Aviv. "A Palestinian state doesn't worry me, and as far as Jerusalem goes," he continued, "I'm sure they'll arrive at some arrangement." Professor Ephraim Inbar, di- rector of the BESA Center at Bar- Ilan University, said that in his studies of Israeli political atti- tudes, he no longer asks about Jerusalem because year after year, "over 90 percent favor Jerusalem remaining undivided under Israeli sovereignty. Most Israelis are quite adamant on this, and take the most hawkish position possible." The fact that Israelis stay away from Arab east Jerusalem has no bearing on their feelings, Professor Inbar added. "The issue," he said, "is not Sheikh Jarrah [an Arab neigh- borhood] or Orient House or the American Colony Hotel. For Jews, east Jerusalem is the Tem- ple Mount, the Western Wall, the Jewish Quarter — the symbolic heart of Jerusalem." Dr. Daniel Elazar, head of the Jerusalem Center for Public Af- fairs, agreed that, for now, Is- raelis see Jerusalem as the capital for one state — only. But he is worried that the self-cen- tered, "hedonistic" trend in the country, especially in Tel Aviv and the richer coastal cities, could erode this consensus. And, he maintained, the fear that keeps many Israelis away from the capital and nearly all of them out of the Arab sector, even- tually could affect their politics. "If Israelis don't come to Jerusalem and make Jerusalem a part of their lives," he said, "who knows what they could be per- suaded of in the future?" ❑ Hezbollah Attacks During Pact Signing Tel Aviv (JTA) — An Israeli of- ficer was killed and 14 other of- ficers and soldiers injured during a daylong series of attacks by Hezbollah gunmen in the south- ern Lebanon security zone. The attacks, by artillery, mor- tars and both Sagger and Katyusha rockets, were appar- ently timed to coincide with the accord signing in Washington by Jordanian King Hussein and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The attacks also took place on the first anniversary of the start of Operation Accountability, Is- rael's weeklong shelling of ter- rorist bases in southern Lebanon in retaliation for rocket attacks on northern Israel. The shelling, directed at 16 po- sitions occupied by Israeli troops or their allied South Lebanon Army, began gradually after 12:00 noon and peaked at 5 p.m. local time, when King Hussein, Mr. Rabin and President Clinton were signing the document on the White House lawn. At that moment, the pro-Iran- ian terrorists fired a series of mis- siles at an IDF convoy, killing Capt. Shai Goldstein of Hadera and wounding most of the other casualties. Other soldiers were wounded by shots fired at their field posi- tions. In response to the attacks, the Israeli air force went into action, bombing a number of Hezbollah positions north of the security zone. Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Mordechai, commander of the northern re- gion, said he had no reason to be- lieve that the Syrians, who largely control Lebanon, had en- couraged the attacks. But he said Syria was un- doubtedly capable of stopping them if it so wished. Religion is the everlasting dialogue between humanity and God. Art is its soliloquy. Franz Werfel
