THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE

First, it said that both sides, the Con-
gress and president of the United States,
were "ardently pro-Israel." While true of
Congress, the president and first lady, by
the paper's own admission, are pro-Arab
by favoring a "Palestinian"-Arab state in
Israel. While the paper, trying to down-
play its tremendous yet tragic impact by
labeling it as a "gaffe," can in no way
erase it. The "Palestine" genie is out of
the president's bottle and Arabs cheer.
Second, the editorial, despite Israel's
surrender of Jewish towns with Arab res-
idents in the Judea-Samarian hills,
pleads for a more "civil and creative
approach to be arduously pursued by all
leaders." With 35 percent of Israeli terri-
tory now in Arab hands and even the
"Palestinian" covenant still in force
(1964), could anyone have been more
clever than "metropolitan" Israelis ostra-
cizing "settlement" Jews?
Rather than waiting until 1999 when
Yassir Arafat will declare "Palestine" a
state, when Jerusalem becomes a battle-
ground for the capital and when Jews
and Arabs really shed tears over their
burial plots, Jews should recognize that
Israel and its territories cannot be divid-
ed as before. Only one state, Israel, can
occupy the Holy Land.
Either Israel, having conquered the
remainder of Israel in 1967, settles, lives
and defends its land or the Arabs will
resort to war again to complete their
"Palestine" on Israel land.
Only then can the seventh mideast-
ern war be avoided.
