The following is the quote upon which the essay should be based along with the qualifying ques- tions. "Together, we should not let the land flowing with milk and honey become a land flowing with blood and tears. Don't let it happen. Hall the partners to the peacemaking do not unite against the evil angels of death by terrorism, all that will remain of this ceremony are color snap- shots, empty mementos. Rivers of hatred will overflow again-and swamp the Middle East. We, gentlemen, will not permit ter- rorism to defeat peace. We will not allow it. If we do not have partners in this bitter, difficult war, we will fight it alone. We know how to fight, and we know how to win." — Yitzhak Rabin Reading this speech very care- fully and reflecting on the polit- ical history of Israel since the signing of Oslo I, what do you feel that you, as a member of the American Jewish community, and especially as a member of the Jewish student community, can do to turn Mr. Rabin's speech from words into actions?

K Jihad Leader In Paraguay Buenos Aires (JTA) — Par- guayan police confirmed that a leader of the militant funda- mentalist Islamic Jihad move- ment is at large in Ciudad del Este, the southeastern Para- guayan border town renowned as a smuggling center. According to the Paraguayan newspaper ABC, Aiman Ez Za- wahri is under the protection of "dormant cells" of Islamic Jihad in Ciudad del Este and is "be- yond the reach of local police." Mr. Zawahri was a political refugee in Switzerland until he disappeared in late 1995. At the time, the Egyptian newspaper Al Dostur reported that the Islamic terrorist left Europe for South America. Mr. Zawahri is charged with the 1993 attempted murder of Egyptian Minister Hassan Al-Alfi. According to the Paraguayan police, Mr. Zawahri entered South America via Brazil and soon moved to Ciudad del Este, which borders on Argentina and Brazil and is visited daily by 40,000 people, who can cross the international border just by walking over a bridge.
