In his speech, Zach empha
sized that the Palestinian
demonstrations of the past
several months are violent, not
peaceful, in nature. Their pur
pose was and is to harm Israeli
soldiers, and the Israeli army
reaction, though often criti
cized, was to prevent such
harm from occurring.
In the past month, Israel
has been successful in decreas
ing the violence within the oc
cupied territories. However,
Zach warned, the past several

Its raining. Its snowing. The roads

It’s the perfect time to be in a
Volvo 760.
Only then can you ftiily appreci
ate the handling advantages of our
new Multi-link independent rear sus-
pensioa And the stopping advantages
of an Anti-lock braking system.
You'll also discover a plethora of
other features—big and small—that
make the Volvo 760 a great place to
ride out the storms. From an elec
tronic climate control system to
heated outside rearview mirrors that
prevent icing and fogging.
So arrange a test drive, come
rain, sleet or snow. And see the

months have given the Pales
tinians a strong feeling of suc
cess, and this feeling allows
them to be more confident in
their civil disobedience activi
ties.
Concerning future negotia
tions, Zach indicated that all
parties to such negotiations
would bring their own nega
tive contributions.
Jordan has little desire to
discuss any issues. They pre
fer leaving edl matters of
discussions to the PLO.
Israel is aware of the need to
find a solution to the problem,
but has little idea as to what
form a solution should take.
Also, Israel now suffers from
reoccurring economic prob
lems due to the violence, and
the problems are further com
plicated by Israel’s two party
administrative system.
Palestinians desire complete
autonomy, which is unaccept
able to Israel. The geographic
proximity of a Palestinian
state to Israel allows for un
satisfactory defense alter
natives for Israel.
As a result of all of the
negatives indicated, Zach
warned that patience is the
key word concerning all in
volved parties. Solutions are
going to take time, and the
matter becomes complicated
because of the present two
party sharing of leadership
within Israel. Zach stressed
that Israel must return to a
one party prime ministerial of
fice to allow Israel’s end of the
negotiations to be conducted
with a united representation.
An enthusiastic question
and answer period followed
Zach’s speech. Several in the
audience alluded to the added
threat to Israel if fundamen
talist Moslem extremists con
tinue to gain strength in both
Israel and other Mid-Eastern
nations. As Zach confirmed,
this could well be one of the
more serious problems facing
Israel in the near future.
