Two Extremists
Draw The Line
ERIC SILVER SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
or Eliakim Haetzni, a 69-
year-old lawyer who settled
on the edge of Hebron in
1972, the Israeli-Palestin-
ian peace agreement signed in
the White House last week is "an
Israeli Munich," a betrayal of all
he and more than 100,000 fellow
West Bank settlers believe in and
have fought for.
For Ibrahim Yazuri, a Gaza
pharmaCist in his mid-fifties, it
means "the liquidation of the
Palestinian struggle."
. The two men, among the
founders respectively of the ex-
pansionist Greater Israel move-
ment and the Islamic
fundamentalist Hamas, are unit-
ed in their conviction that land
matters more than a compromise
peace — and that the decisive
battle is just beginning.
"We are here and we shall re-
main here," pledged Eliakim
Haetzni, a former right-wing
•Tehiya Knesset member, his eyes
'bulging behind his thick lenses.
"There will be no relinquishing
of the Land of Israel.
`The land where our prophets
and kings prophesied and ruled,
where the Bible was played out,
is not Tel Aviv. It is Hebron, the
city of our patriarchs; it is Beth-
El, where Jacob dreamed of an-
gels going up and down a ladder;
it is Shechem (Nablus), the first
place Abraham bought when he
entered the land; it is Shilo,
where the Ark of the Covenant
rested for 400 years; it is Bethle-
hem, where David was born and
our mother Rachel is buried.
"All these are on the West
Bank. These are the places we
dreamed and strove and bled and
hoped and prayed for, not Tel
Aviv. We did not create a Jewish
state in order to forget the Jew-
ish land and give it to the enemy."
Haetzni, father of four, grand-
father of five, predicted a latter-
day Armageddon, a war of Jew
against Arab, and eventually of
Jew against Jew.
"Here in Hebron," he said,
"every Arab lad who now throws
stones will have a gun. Seething
with hatred, he will fire at me
from the houses opposite. The
whole population, on both sides,
will have arms. They will shoot.
Jews will shoot back. There will
be casualties on both sides.
"This will endanger the so-
called peace. So the Israeli army
will have to suppress the Jews.
This may be the beginning of a
fratricidal war between Jews and
Jews. A large part of the army

will not obey orders. Others will
stand aside. It will be the begin-
ning of the decomposition of the
Jewish state."
At the other pole, Ibrahim
Yazuri protested bitterly that the
leader of the Palestine Liberation
Organization, Yassir Arafat, "has
given up the struggle and ac-
cepted the division of Palestine."
For Hamas, all of Palestine,
"from the river to the sea," is holy
Muslim ground. The Jewish
state, however shrunken, is an
aberration.
Asked what Hamas proposed
to do about the agreement,
Yazuri, who has seen the inside
of Israeli jails and Palestinian po-
lice stations, stroked his bushy
grey beard and smiled: "Ask the
movement."
Like other Hamas activists,
the pharmacist has become ul-
tra-cautious. In the still-occupied
West Bank, where Israel cracked
down on Hamas after the
Jerusalem bus bombing in late
August, no one is talking to the
press.
In Gaza, where Arafat's secret
police have followed suit and
much of the Islamic leadership is
"Every Arab lad will
have a gun."
— Eliakim Haetzni
behind bars, Yazuri is one of the
few to stick his head above the
parapet. But he chooses his words
with care. He criticizes the Taba
agreement, but makes no threats:
"Taba will lead to the isolation
of the West Bank Palestinian
cities in cantons that will stay un-
der Israeli rule. The division of
Hebron between Palestinians
and Israelis is not a solution. He-
bron will explode at any moment.
"Only 30 per cent of West
Bank land will be under Pales-
tinian administration. The rest
will stay in Israeli hands. The wa-
ter problem has not been solved.
Above all, the problem of
Jerusalem has not been solved."
Another leader of the Muslim
opposition in Gaza, Sheikh
Nafeth Azzam, of the more fa-
natical Islamic Jihad, said his
movement's position was un-
changed. It rejected the 1993 Oslo
accord, and it rejected the 1995
Taba accord. The Palestinian dai-
ly paper, Al Nahar, interpreted
this as a continued commitment
to jihad, holy war.
The road to peace, it seems, is
paved with bad intentions.
