Battle Over The Ballot
Continues In Israel

Israeli Arab voters could determine the
next prime minister.

LARRY DERFNER ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT

AP/EYAL WARS HAVSKY

In Honor of National Nurses Week
May 6 - May 12
The Greater Detroit Chapter of Hadassah
Nurses Council Recognizes and
Supports Our Colleagues in Israel.

Right-wing leader Binyamin Netanyahu speaks to the press in Jerusalem.

I

f I talked to, say, 200 [Israeli
Arabs] while the fighting was
going on in Lebanon, I'd say 50,
60, even 70 percent of them
said they weren't going to vote for
[Shimon] Peres. But now, little by
little, they're coming back," said
Sa'il Iraqi.
Mr. Iraqi, a 42-year-old social
worker and Peres supporter, was
sitting in front of his apartment
building in Tira, an Israeli Arab
town of some 17,000 people in cen-
tral Israel. It was the second day
after the cease-fire in Lebanon,
and the beginning of the Moslem
holiday Id al-Adha.
Over the three days of the hol-
iday, numerous Labor Party min-
isters and Knesset members
would be visiting Arab villages
and cities around the country, ty-
ing to rebuild support for Prime
Minister Shimon Peres in the
May 29 election.
Israeli Arab voters are crucial
to Mr. Peres' chances although
they account for about 12 percent
of the total electorate. Until Op-
eration Grapes of Wrath, Mr.
Peres seemed certain to get about
90 percent of the Israeli Arab vote.
But the sight of hundreds of thou-
sands of Lebanese Arabs fleeing
Israeli bombs, and especially the
spectacle of 100 Lebanese Arab
refugees in Kana being killed by
stray Israeli mortars, turned
masses of Israeli Arabs tem-
porarily against Mr. Peres.
Even in Tira, where the Labor
Party is strong, public school stu-
dents left classes to join the na-
tionwide Israeli Arab strike.
In Nazareth, the largest of Is-
raeli Arab cities, some demon-
strators scuffled with police.

During Mr. Peres' speech to the
Knesset, in which he defended
Operation Grapes of Wrath, Is-
raeli Arab lawmakers hollered in-
vective at him. "Baby-killer" was
the epithet shouted by Taleb a-
Sana'a of the Arab Democratic
Party.
Many Israeli Arabs swore they
would not vote for Mr. Peres.
Neither would they vote for
Benjamin Netanyahu, whose
right-wing politics and support-
ers put him beyond the pale for
all but a few Israeli Arabs. Instead
they vowed to go to the polls, vote
for an Arab party in the Knesset
election, and leave the prime min-
ister's ballot blank.
But now the war is over. "Is-
raeli Arabs have short memories.
In another week or two they'll
forget about it," said Ahmed Abd
el-Hai, 38, a Tira salesman and
Peres supporter. "Israeli Arabs
understand they have no choice
but to vote for Peres because a
blank ballot, in effect, is a vote for
Netanyahu," said Sameh Iraqi,
41, who heads Labor's campaign
in Tira.
(Iraqi is also Sa'il Iraqi's cousin.
Tira, like all Israeli Arab towns
and villages, is populated mainly
by a few large hamulot, or ex-
tended families. Each hamulah
often votes as a bloc for a partic-
ular party, and the Iraqi hamu-
lah has traditionally gone with
Labor.)
Experts on Israeli Arab politics
agree with this assessment.
Shmuel Toledano, a former Arab
Affairs Adviser to the Prime Min-
ister, wrote in Ha'aretz : 'There is
