THE FUNDAME T fact
is that- the military and s ttler
occupation of'th We Bank and
Gaza is the primary impediment
to a principled and permanent
peace in the region
Putting the PLO and the Pal-
tinians on probation through a
peace accord that only extends
limited autonomy over a small
section of Palestine is not the
solution. Nor will have m ures
lik rounding up a few re ction-
ry s ttlers suffi .
u h an accord and half
me ur will legitima ly not
calm h pas ions of an ag
gri ved people who have uf
fer d, bled and di d from a
hom I nd of their own.
Justi would be s rved if the
I raeli govemm n would heed
th c 11 of many within its own
binet and th vi s of the pro
gr ive Peace Now Movement
in Israel and gin an immedi
at and irr versibl p of
dismantling th J wi h s ttle
men in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
Progressive people of good will
and conscience - Arabs and
J ws, Christians and Muslims, a
rainbow force for a just and last
ing peace in the Middl East
from 11 over th world must
end a loud and clear message to
th I raeli government: The oc
cupation of Palestine must end
now!
