Jerusalem feel closer to Israeli
society than they do to the Pales-
tinian leadership from Tunis,"
said Mr. Eid.
While these Arabs still want a
Palestinian state with East
Jerusalem as its capital, they de-
spair of ever getting it and
wouldn't want to live under the
rule of the current Palestinian
Authority anyway, he said.
Mr. Baskin's view is similar to
Mr. Eid's — that Israeli citizen-
ship has both practical and
political meaning for East Jeru-
salem Arabs. With an Israeli
passport, it is easier for them to
get loans and mortgages, he said.
But there is also the dread of ever
coming under the Palestinian
Authority's thumb.
"Some of them are fearful of
the actions of the man they're
now calling `JR' — Jibril Rajoub,
who is the head of the Palestin-
ian Authority's equivalent of the

"It's not something
they're very
proud of."

Shin Bet [Israeli intelligence],"
Mr. Baskin said. "He's the strong-
man in the West Bank, and not
the sort of person you want to
mess with."
But neither are the petitions
for citizenship a vote of confidence
in Israeli sovereignty over all of
Jerusalem, he said. They are an
attempt "by some people to play
both sides of the fence."
Israel's offer of citizenship to
East Jerusalem Arabs is what
makes its rule over the entire
capital officially democratic. But
the offer is likely to remain un-
accepted by the great majority of
Palestinians there. Mr. Baskin
estimated that no more than
about 15,000, or 10 percent of the
population, are likely to become
Israeli citizens.
Journalist Eid predicted the
turn toward Israeli citizenship
will increase. Until now, he has
not applied for an Israeli passport
because of "nationalistic reasons."
If, however, the threats against
him escalate, he said he will ei-
ther become an Israeli citizen or
ask for political asylum in France.
For Israeli politics, the citi-
zenship movement has little
significance, according to Mr.
Baskin. The Arabs lining up out-
side the Interior Ministry for
passports will not be lining up in
November 1996 for Knesset bal-
lots, he said. First, they would be
exposing themselves at the poll-
ing booths as targets for Pales-
tinian militants. Second, despite
holding new passports, these
Arabs of East Jerusalem still hold
an old national loyalty that pre-
cludes their taking the ultimate
act of Israeli citizenship. "They're
not ready," said Mr. Baskin, "to
go that far."
