HELPING JEWISH
FAMILIES GROW

pended and no discussion al-
lowed. But that relates to who
owns what.
This "citizenship" issue was ad-
dressed by Rabbi Meir Kahane
near Hebrew University. But
freedom of speech was stopped;
no one could afford, despite the
enormous number of Israeli po-
lice, to have Meir Kahane, the
man who said that Judaism will
triumph over Islam and the
Arabs, speak out. Kahane was a
"traitor" and subversive of the
"accommodation" that must be
paid to those who hated the Jew-
ish state and sought to destroy it.
This Arab position could be
openly spoken because all Arabs
in Israel had the right to register
and vote in a Jewish (pardon me,
Israeli) election, and the Arab
vote would be counted along with
the Jewish vote.
In a democracy, citizenship is
primary. However, as Kahane
pointed out, citizenship in Israel
is for everyone, Arabs included,
and that was/is the problem. The
bi-national state has come true.
Kahane saw the Arab trying to
steal and rule Israel and that was
the very thing that turned his au-
dience against his position. He
was too frank.
Ms. Applebaum spoke of
whether the "Jews have rights"
under the Palestinian Authority
of the "Palestine district of Israel."
The real question is do the Arabs
still have the right to vote in Is-
rael, to elect their Arab candi-
dates and ultimately cast the
Arab vote for a "Palestine?"
To her query, there is the
promise that if there is any sort
of a "Palestinian state," any Jew
remaining will have no right to
vote, participate or even to make
political noise except to cheer Yas-
sir Arafat. They can only say that
he is treated properly and hope
for "peace" after the Arab con-
quest of the remainder of Israel.
For her Mexican in America,
there is the realistic choice of be-
coming a United States citizen,
even as the Arab and Jew have
already done. But for the Arabs
in Israel, "They Must Go" has
been true since 1948 against the
internal Arab. Here is the voice
of an Israel that seeks to survive
with all its land while surround-
ed by Arabs, the enemy who will
steal and lie to the ever-accom-
modating world.

THE JEWISH NEWS

Committee for the Jewish
Idea, Troy

Disservice
Has Been Done

The columnist Leonard Fein, who
has demonstrated an uncanny
ability to distort facts and vilify
those who do not share his ideo-
logical agenda, has apparently
been given free rein by The Jew-
ish News to thrash Prime Minis-

Leonard Fein:
Distorts facts?

ter Binyamin Netanyahu and his
Likud government.
In his Dec. 20 column, "The
Next Deep Breath," he has once
again displayed his penchant for
misrepresentation.
The Netanyahu government's
decision to allow the existing set-
tlements "breathing room" for
such facilities as playgrounds and
school necessitated by "natural
growth" is not contrary to the
Oslo accords.
The mandate given to Mr. Ne-
tanyahu by the people of Israel
included the warning that pre-
cipitous Israeli concessions to the
Palestinians without meticu-
lously planned security safe-
guards can no longer be tolerated.
The prime minister is doing all
he can to put the peace process
back on track, but he will not be
stampeded to withdraw from He-
bron without insuring the safety
and security of its Jewish minor-
ity. Mr. Fein says narry a word
about the wily and duplicitous
Chairman Arafat, who currently
enjoys undeserved Western pop-
ularity and is seeking to delay a
Hebron agreement under the
threat of renewed violence.
A "final settlement" between
Israel and the Palestinians will
never be reached as long as
Chairman Arafat thinks he can
score more points by playing for
Western sympathy than by ne-
gotiating with Mr. Netanyahu.
By encouraging that belief,
Leonard Fein's piece and the ed-
itorial comment of The Jewish
News have done a disservice to
Israel.
