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.
