ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT
Palestinians are renowned for ex-
pecting and predicting the worst
— as they did, for example, before
the outbreak of the intifada, be-
fore the opening of the Has-
monean Tunnel and before the
bulldozers began working on Har
Homa in east Jerusalem.
Yet Israelis still tend to treat
their gloomy predictions and
warnings as hollow scare tactics
alone. In fact, many believe that
the deeper the despair for Pales-
tinians, the better for Israel,
whose best policy is to "break" the
Palestinians and bring them to
heel.
That, at least, is how young
Palestinians explain what has
been happening in Hebron. This
week, I joined some other Israelis
to speak with Palestinians not on
Hebron's rock-strewn streets, but
in the airy halls and dim rooms of
Hebron University.
Palestinians, these young men
and women say, are divided into
the nationalists (the Palestinian
National Authority and its loyal-
ists) and the "Islamists" (Hamas
and Islamic Jihad).
These two camps have been
locked in a struggle, at various lev-
els of intensity, since the early
days of the intifada. Oslo placed
the nationalists at a huge advan-
tage; though with the peace
process deeply wounded the Is-
lamists are definitely winning.
Certainly the Islamic front is
out ahead at Hebron University,
where it recently won the elections
for the student council (and in a
variety of other Palestinian insti-
tutions throughout the West
Bank).
"Our life during the intifada
was far better than it is now," ex-
plains Jawad Jaabri, the intense
yet soft-spoken head of the Islamic
faction on campus.
"During the intifada, the issue
was direct and clear cut: the peo-
ple against the occupation," he
says. "During the intifada we
made all the decisions and took
action. Now the PNA makes the
decisions and we must weigh that
factor in deciding how to act."
Jaabri is cautious in speaking
about the tension between "the
people" and the Palestinian Au-
thority. He speaks of "national
unity" being a sacred value of Is-
lam.
But he says that "all the people
in Hebron are participating in the
riots. The atmosphere is so tense
that the PNA is taking arms away
from the soldiers, so that what
happened in September won't
happen again. What's happening
