West Bank Massacre Aftershocks
Defiant Israeli settlers
hail murderer as hero

PLO may withdraw from peace talks
Leadership expected to reject President Clinton's call for new talks in Washington

THE WASHINGTON POST
KIRYAT ARBA, Israeli-Occu-
pied West Bank - Heavy fog and
cold rain muffled the Hebron hills
yesterday as Baruch Goldstein was
laid to rest in a barren, muddy back lot
by friends who called him a hero for
massacring Arabs as they prayed in a
mosque.
A tractor scraped at the stubborn
earth as elite Israeli soldiers with green
berets and Galil assault rifles stood
guard. It was a temporary grave, resi-
dents said, because tensions were run-
ning too high to permit permanent
burial in the Jewish cemetery in the
middle of Hebron.
To the rest of the world, Goldstein
was a mass murderer who fired his
Galil into the backs of worshiping
Muslims on Friday, killing 39 and
injuring more than 200 in the Tomb of
the Patriarchs, a shrine revered by
Jews, Muslims and Christians.
Goldstein was then killed by the sur-
viving worshipers.
But in the low-lying, box-like
apartments of Kiryat Arba, at the bank
and store near the entrance to this
Jewish settlement of 5,000 people,
and in a local yeshiva, or Jewish
school, Goldstein and his deed were
being discussed in far different terms.
Here, Goldstein was described in
the language of blood, fear, nationalist
dreams and messianic longing that of-
fered a glimpse into the embattled out-
look of the most militant Jewish set-
tlers. They claim a biblical right to these
rocky hills and believe Jews should use
force to prevail over the Arabs.
Most of the 110,000 Jewish set-
tlers in 140 communities in the West

Bank and Gaza Strip are political cen-
trists - many came simply for a
cheap mortgage, clean air and a swim-
ming pool. But it is the relatively
small cadre of militants who pose the
biggest challenge to the peace accord
between Israel and the Palestinians,
because they have vowed to fight to
the end for what they contend is a
historic right to the land. Some say
they fear that the surge in tensions is
just the begining of an all-out war
between the radical settlers and Pal-
estinians, especially the Islamic ex-
tremists, that could doom any peace
agreement.
The most militant settlers are at
the core of Kach, followers of the late
American Rabbi Meir Kahane. Ac-
cording to friends, Goldstein was a
Kahane disciple, first in the Jewish
Defense League in the United States
and later in Israel. Goldstein's tempo-
rary grave was dug yesterday just
beyond a stone garden that residents
here erected in memory of Kahane in
1990, after he was assassinated in
New York. Kach leaders were the
target yesterday of Israel's govern-
ment as it struggled to respond to
outrage over the massacre. The cabi-
net authorized arrests and detentions
of the leaders. Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin denounced the militants yes-
terday and said he was "ashamed of
those who came out publicly and sup-
ported (Goldstein's) act."
Many in the crowd here supported
it openly. "Baruch Goldstein was the
greatest Jew alive, not in one way, but
in every way," said Shmuel Hacohen,
a teacher in a Jerusalem college who
was a friend of Goldstein.

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
TUNIS - The PLO leadership,
visibly dissatisfied with Israeli offers
to crack down on Jewish settlers and
release Palestinian prisoners, began
debate yesterday about whether to
resume negotiations with Israel or
heed popular calls to pull out of the
troubled peace process.
Palestine Liberation Organization
sources said the Executive Committee,
which began meeting late yesterday,
and was scheduled to resume delibera-
tions today, would almost certainly re-
ISRAEL
continued from Page 1
death toll in that incident now stands
at 39, and at least 25 more have been
killed in subsequent rioting.
The government said it had autho-
rized use of of administrative deten-
tion orders against leaders of Kach,
permitting authorities to take them
into custody without charge or trial.
In the past, such orders have been
used almost exclusively against Pal-
estinians. The government also said it
had authorized use of restraining or-
ders to keep some Jewish militants
from entering the West Bank, as well
as to seize their weapons and confis-
cate their gun permits.
But of the initial five members of
Kach sought under the crackdown,
only one had been apprehended by
late yesterday; two low-level Jewish
activists also were arrested. Leaders
of the settler movement estimate that
Kach has about 100 members.
The Cabinent decisions constitute
"a fundamental shift" in the
government's relationship with the
settler movement, according to a se-
nior official who was present.

ject President Clinton's invitation to
begin peace talks Wednesday in Wash-
ington, though they were prepared to
leave the door open to commence talks
at a later date.
PLO leader Yasser Arafat said the
Israeli Cabinet's offer to arrest Jew-
ish extremist leaders, disarm hard-
core settlers and release 800 to 1,000
Palestinian prisoners is "empty and
hollow."
He demanded further security
measures in the wake of Friday's
massacre of 48 Palestinians at a West
Bank mosque.

"These are cosmetic measures only
aimed at containing the crisis rather
than reaching real solutions to the
existing tension," added Yasser Abed-
Rabbo, head of the PLO Information
Department. "What is requested are
measures to stop the killing of Pales-
tinian citizens."
With popular demonstrations
breaking out in many parts of the
Arab world in response to the massa-
cre, PLO officials are insisting that
they will not accept a return to the
peace talks under current conditions.
That would undermine the Palestin-

ian leadership and defeat the peace
process itself, they say.
"What has really broken this peace
process is the massacre in Hebron,
and that massacre cannot be undone,
it cannot be forgotten so that business
can go back as usual," said Nabil
Shaath, who has headed the PLO's
negotiating team on security talks.
The PLO is insisting that all Jew-
ish settlers in the occupied West Bank
and Gaza Strip be disarmed when
they leave the settlement property,
and that hard-core settlers be under
"very strict" surveillance.
