mounds of dirt and gravel to shield
hillside apartment buildings from gun-
-
fire — perhaps the first step in what
Barak warns could be a "unilateral sep-
aration" from the Palestinians.
The day before, an Israeli police
officer had been shot and critically
wounded a few feet away from where
the mission now stood.
Two Israeli tanks now stood watch
over the valley. But gunfire continued
the next day, and the day after that.
"It's very sad to see that Jews are still
living in fear — in their own state,"
said Jeanette Leiser, a mission partici-
pant and first-time visitor to Israel.
"I think if I were living here, I'd dig
my heels in," said Leiser, whose hus- ,
band, Harry, is the campaign chair-
man for the Jewish Federation of New
London, Conn. "Why do Jews always
have to give in, to say we're sorry?"
Leiser and others agreed that if the
peace process is to continue, Arafat
and the Palestinians must make tangi-
ble concessions each step of the way.
The mission itself couldn't have come
at a more critical time, said the Israelis.
The fact that 18,000 hotel rooms
are currently unoccupied — many of
them due to cancellations by
American Jews — has fueled the sense
of abandonment and isolation that
now pervades Jewish Israel.
The mission's arrival was widely report-
ed by Israeli media, as was the vow by
the UJC that a steady stream of missions
will flow over the next month or two.
"Many more missions will come, not
only to show our solidarity with you,
but to make sure that our government
is well aware of the response of the
American Jewish community," said
Robert Schrayer, national chairman of
the UJA Federation Campaign of UJC.
Throughout the visit, their Israeli
hosts referred to them as "brothers and
sisters" and "family" and "our com-
manders in the field." Indeed, aside
from the show of solidarity, the partici-
pants were there to arm themselves with
the facts — as Israel is explaining them.
Mission participants peppered
Ya'alon with questions about the
"excessive use of force" for which Israel
has been denounced at the United
Nations. They asked why not use
water canons or even soap bombs to
deny rioters the sure footing needed
for hurling rocks or Molotov cocktails.
Ya'alon said his forces have "acted
responsibly and with great restraint."
And although "within two hours we
can finish the Palestinians," he said, "it
is vital that we have legitimacy for our
activities — moral legitimacy and
international legitimacy."
