can Jewish population that has
been conditioned to respond al-
most reflexively to any threat to
the capital.
The hysteria over last week's
hearings reflects nerves rubbed
raw over the approach of these
overwhelming issues.
Supporters of the Rabin govc(
ernment understand with ago-
nizing clarity that opposition to
the peace process is certain to in-
crease as these issues move to the
fore. The simmering divisions
over fundamental questions in-
volving Israel's future inevitably
will spill out into the public fo-
rum and complicate the pro-peacec\
process agenda.
Last week's hearing provided
just such an eruption of fear,
anger and deep division.
Right-wingers understand that
despite their predictions that the
peace process would never get
this far, Israel really is on the
brink of making decisions that
will result in the removal of many
of the settlements, a turning
point that will eviscerate the con-
cept of a "greater Israel" to which
many are committed.
That has raised the specter of
outright rebellion in Israel, along
with a new level of bitter dis-
agreement among Jews in this
country. ❑
British Authorities
Drop Charges
London (JTA) — British author-
ities have dropped charges
against two Palestinians accuse& \
of involvement in last year's
bombings of the Israeli Embassy
and Joint Israel Appeal head-
quarters in London.
Smiling and holding hands,
Reem Abdelhadi, 34, and Mo-
hammed Derbas, 31, left court
last Friday after the prosecution
said there was insufficient evi-
dence against them.
Ms. Abdelhadi and Mr. Derbas
had been charged with possession
of explosives and firearms.
Their lawyers said they would
seek compensation.
The two had denied any in-
volvement with the two blasts
last July, in which a total of 19
people were injured.
Ms. Abdelhadi, a postgradu-
ate student and former executive
member of the National Union
of Students, said outside the
court that she had been quizzed
by police during a visit to Israel
in January.
On her return to Britain, she
had given herself up to the au-
thorities.
Ms. Abdelhadi said that even
though she is a "strong and vo-
cal advocate for a just solution
for my people," she had never
supported violence.
Four other suspects still face
the prospect of a trial in connec-
tion with the bombings.
