THE ISSUE

While Palestinian leader Mahmoud
Abbas' recent public statements
regarding the Palestinian "right of
return" have been troubling, other
signs coming out of the Palestinian
Authority in the past few weeks
have been hopeful.

Sources in the Palestinian Authority
this week have reported that a halt
has been ordered to anti-Israel
incitement in the news media and
that a senior Hamas official is con-
templating a long-term end to ter-
ror attacks in order to demand a
sharing of power in the Palestinian
government. In addition, the Israeli
army has reported a 70 percent
reduction in terrorist attacks since
the death of Yasser Arafat.

rebirth of Hebrew. He wrote a novel,
Altneuland, in which the Jews of Israel
adopt the German language.
"I shall stop anti-Semitism instantly
all over the world," he wrote at one
point. Today, anti-Semitism is waxing
from the corridors of government in
Norway and Paris to the halls of acad-
eme at Morningside Heights in the
heart of the city with the largest Jewish
population of any metropolis in the
world. But in astonishing ways, he saw
a story that others missed.
"He had the gift of prevision," Jacob
de Haas wrote of his friend in a two-
volume biography of Herzl, issued in
1926. De Haas wrote of his "ability to
seize ideas, absorb them, and then trans-
mute them to his purpose."
One of the incredible facts about
Herzl is that he lived but seven years
from the time the idea of the Jewish
state came into his head and the time
he died at age 44 in Edlach, Austria.
His was not a long and bitter slog. He
was a flare that illuminated the possibil-
ities of the future. He possessed what de
Haas called a "divine spark" that has
kept his name "bright, where the names
of others greater in power and in wealth
have been hurried into oblivion."
