ELL US WHY YOUR VALENTINE
"Find the perfect
gift for all your gift
giving needs."
IS SO VERY SPECIAL.
Peaceniks Vs. Settlers
Congress and the administration
may be distracted by the crisis in
Iraq, but that didn't stop two Israeli
Peace Now leaders from coming to
town to spotlight their concerns
about Israeli actions that they say are
a major factor in the peace process
breakdown.
This week, Shalom Achshav
founders Galia Golan and Amiram
Goldblum were in town with a
warning about the consequences of
Israel's accelerating settlements activ-
ity.
Goldblum, who has served as
head of the group's Settlement
Watch team since 1991, came armed
with new demographic surveys and
maps of the West Bank.
"One of the points we are making
is that the settlers population of the
West Bank is just under 10 percent
of the total population," he said.
"But Israel controls at the moment
... 97 percent of West Bank territory,
either totally or in the area of securi-
ty.
But the settlers, he said, "have a
disproportionate amount of political
power because they are the ones who
will go to the streets for the govern-
ment, to express dissent from pres-
sure from the United States. They
have that power because they rein-
force the most right-wing elements
of the government."
He challenged Netanyahu's asser-
tion that settlements need to be
expanded to accommodate "natural
growth."
"That idea was proposed by
Begin, then Shamir, now
Netanyahu," Goldblum said. "But
the number of empty houses that
exists today in the territories is
enough for natural growth for the
next three or four years."
American Jews, he said, "seem
to think that defending settlements
is the patriotic thing to do. We
argue just the opposite; Jews who
care about Israel should try to
diminish the danger settlements
comprise both in the short and the
long run."
Golan said she is encountering a
growing detachment from Israel
among American Jews.
"I see a lot of anger here, and a
feeling of being disgusted with Israel.
What we're encountering is people
saying, 'Why should we take an
interest any more? What is this
country for us now?' That's what
worries me the most."
