a number of people on the want-
ed list have been arrested by the
Palestinian security organs.
A third source of pressure that
Israel demands is that of the man
in the street. "As a mass com-
munal movement, Hamas is
highly sensitive to public opin-
ion," explains Dr. Menachem
Klein of the BESA Center for
Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan

University, "and the over-
whelming support for the PNA
expressed in the recent elections
has forced it to reconsider its
strategy."
As a result, Hamas has
plunged into crisis. Its political
"mainstream" leans toward post-
poning the "jihad," on the
grounds that it presently runs
counter to Palestinian interests.
But the radical minority remains
determined to escalate it.
The moderates have Also been
seeking a PNA-mediated cease-
fire with Israel, at least until the
Israeli elections; they fear the re-
turn of the Israeli right.
"The true picture is less one of
small cells of fanatics who, like
Frankenstein monsters, have
turned on their creators," says
Mr. Klein of the two wings of
Hamas, "than of a sharp dis-
agreement that has created con-
fusion." ❑

rect entry into Paradise, a place
portrayed as abundant in every-
thing from good food to 72 virgins
waiting to fulfill every whim.
Thus, the potential suicide is
invited to vastly improve his
"life." And that of his family, too.
In addition to generous material
support from Hamas, being the
father of a "shahid" greatly en-
hances the social status of a reli-
gious Arab.
Even burial is regarded not as
a funeral, but as a wedding.
Tears are banned; dancing is en-
couraged, and the only appropri-
ate emotion is joy.
Compared with the often
bleak lives of young Palestini-
ans, the picture can be irre-
sistible. What's more, to ensure
no second thoughts, the young
men already assigned to suicide
missions are isolated for a week
beforehand.
Thus, unlike the killers re-
sponsible for the rash of stab-
bings in the early 1990s — who
acted independently, impulsive-
ly, and usually to avenge the
death or injury of relatives — the
suicide bomber is a careful "prod-
uct."
But at the beginning of this
week, Ze'ev Schiff, the defense
editor of Ha'aretz, reported that
the Palestinian Preventive Se-
curity (PPS) in Gaza had — with
Mr. Arafat's knowledge and con-
sent — continued talks with rep-
resentatives of the Hamas
military wing after the Feb. 25
bombings in Ashkelon and
Jerusalem.
It was not until after the sec-
ond round of attacks last week
that Mr. Arafat finally outlawed
Azzadin al-Kassam. Since then,

or a year after her 19-year-
old soldier daughter, Maya,
was killed by a Palestinian
suicide bomber, Irit Kup-
stein refused to accept that she
was dead.
She waited every Friday for
Maya, a sergeant instructor, to
come home on weekend leave.
She listened for the key in the
door of their Jerusalem flat. She
delayed the family washing in
case Maya turned up with her
laundry.
On weekdays, the first thing
she did when she came home
from her job as a hospital secre-
tary was to rush to the answer-

sage.
Fourteen months after Maya
died, along with 20 others wait-
ing for a bus at the Beit Lid junc-
tion in northern Israel, her
father, Eitan, still visits her
grave in the bleak, orderly
Mount Herzl military cemetery
every day.
"If I miss it in the day," says
Eitan, a 43-year-old electric com-
pany maintenance man, "I go at
night. Sometimes I talk to her; a
lot of times I just sit there and
cry. People say as time passes it
will get easier. I tell you it doesn't.
It's getting harder."
