The six-week uprising in Israel's
occupied territories in the Gaza Strip
and the West Bank shows a new
determination among the Palestini
ans to rid the areas of Israeli military
occupation, local Middle East experts
said.
"A long-standing problem has
reached maturity," said Herbert
Bodman, UNC professor of Islamic
history, who spent time in the
occupied territories in 1981. "The
Palestinians are just tired of (the
occupation). It is no longer a real
sacrifice to give up lives."
More than 30 Palestinians have
'been killed and several hundred
'Wounded in the uprisings, which
'began last December. About 30
Israeli soldiers have been wounded
in the clashes.
: Israel occupied the Gaza Strip and
the West Bank after the Arab-Israeli
war in 1967. About 1.5 million
Palestinians live in the territories,
;which are under Israeli military
jurisdiction.

international studies professor at
;Shaw University in Raleigh, said

; " This will not be like any campaign
youW ever seen, because I am going
directly to the people. I don't have
a -national headquarters or staff. I
don't have any money. I don't have
pollsters, or consultants or media
advisers or political endorsements.
But I have something better. I have
the power of ideas and I can govern
this country. Let's let the people
decide. I'm back in the race. " Gary

generation that was born under
occupation is growing up.
"They are obviously angry as a
result of an occupation, where they
have seen arrests of their parents,
confiscations of their land and
deportation of their relatives," Al
Hussaini said. "They want freedom
and the right to rule themselves. They
want peace and human rights."
Local Palestinians, Jews and Mid
dle Eastern scholars said bad socio
economic conditions in the occupied
territories aggravate the problem.
"The Gaza Strip is a ghetto with
no economic livelihood," Bodman
said. "People's patience has been
exhausted."
As there is very little industry in
Gaza, most residents must go into
Israel proper to work low-paying,
menial jobs every day, Bodman said.
Although Palestinians living in the
West Bank have developed an econ
omy of their own, it is a restricted
economy because Palestinians need
Israeli permits for everything, Bod
man said.
Jack Sasson, UNC professor of
religion, said a distinction should be
made between the West Bank and
Gaza.
News Analysis
Democrat Gary Hart created a
media blitz with this speech, resur
recting the presidential campaign he
abandoned last May after news
reports were released about his
relationship with a Miami model.
But many feel the revived cam
paign will not survive the public's
new-found interest in morality and
will weaken support for other Demo
cratic presidential contenders.

"In the West Bank it is a clash of
different notions of history," Sasson
said.
The Jewish settlers see the land as
their God-given right, while the
Palestinians believe whoever lives on
it has a right to it, Sasson said. They
are struggling over control of the
land, he said.
"Gaza is extremely poor," Sasson
said."Nobody wants those territories
not Egypt, not Israel, not even the
settlers r and there is a high level
of despair. That despair has been
responded to by powerful religious
forces."
In Gaza, many settlers have
embraced fundamental Islam to find
relief from the conditions.
Bodman said the use of the
mosques as rallying points during the
uprisings indicates an increased role
of religion, but he saw this as a return
to normal after two or three gener
ations of secularism.
"The secularists have been discred
ited, because little has been accomp
lished while they were in charge,"
Bodman said. .
Hussaini said religion was not at
the root of the uprisings.
"Everybody is joining the upris
ings: conservatives, liberals or funda
Hart, however, chose to ignore the
critics by plunging into a heavy
campaign schedule that may include
a visit to Fayetteville and Rock
ingham Jan. 19, said Leni Setnick,
Hart's statewide coordinator.
Setnick is optimistic about Hart's
ability to capture the Democratic
presidential nomination, but many
N.C. Democrats say he is un-electable
or threatening to the strength of the
state party.
"North Carolina Democrats are
hoping that Hart won't do well
because the morality issue in North
Carolina would be a greater boon for
the Republicans," said Paul Luebke,
associate professor of sociology at
UNC-Greensboro, who specializes in
N.C. politics.
"The Democratic leadership has
opted for (Tennessee Sen. Albert)
Gore because it is trying to avoid a
Mondale-like candidacy, which
arouses negative feelings among
white Tar Heels," Luebke said. Sen.
Terry Sanford, D-N.C, and former
Gov. Jim Hunt recently endorsed
Gore for the Democratic presidential
nomination.

mentalists," Hussaini said. "This is
not an ideological struggle. It's an
appeal for help."
Hussaini and Bodman said the
uprisings do not appear to be organ
ized by the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
"This is a genuine uprising by the
population, though (the Palestinians)
say the PLO is their representative,"
Hussaini said.
Efforts to solve the Israeli
Palestinian conflict must be increased
to stop the violence, Bodman said.
Hussaini said the only solution is
an end to Israel's military occupation
of Gaza and the West Bank.
Earl Siegel, a Chapel Hill member
of Friends of Peace Now, called for
an international peace conference
about the Middle East sponsored by
the five major members of the United
Nations Security Council. Peace Now
is the Israeli peace movement started
in protest against the 1982 Israeli
invasion of Lebanon.
The occupations corrupt the Israeli
society, Siegel said. The role of
indefinite occupier forces Israel to
engage in what he termed unethical
activities to keep the territories under
control.
Although Hart's campaign is
mostly a volunteer effort, it is
technically sound, said Kevin Sites,
a spokesman for Hart's national
campaign. The campaign has five
paid national staff members, he said.
So far, the campaign has raised
$30,000 to $40,000 and has applied
for about $1 million in federal
matching funds, Sites said. A
$100,000 advance on the matching
funds went to Hart's campaign debts,
and a court ruling will determine
whether the remaining amount can
be used to help retire the debts, he
said.
Hart's negative ratings in the polls
indicate that a majority of people will
not vote for him, said Merle Black,
UNC associate professor of political
science.
But Hart may attract a sizeable
percentage of voters who are unde
cided in polls, said Wayne Goodwin,
a UNC student and Hart supporter
who helped found Students with
Hart. The Students with Hart chapter
folded last May.
Erika Birg, co-founder of Students
With Hart, has turned her allegiance
to Sen. Paul Simon, D-Ill.
"I'm dubious about (Hart) re
entering the race," Birg, said. "You
have to agree with the majority of
the American people who think that
what he did was wrong."

professional relationships with both
Mr. and Ms. Right. What we offer in return is
a unique career that may well be the answer
to your personal desires.
What we offer is certainly different. At NSA,
our threefold mission is critical to our country's
security. We process foreign intelligence infor
mation. We safeguard our government's
communications. And we secure our nation's
computer systems. A mission of that propor
tion requires a diverse range of leading
technology and talented professionals.
Currently, NSA is searching for Mathe
maticians, Computer Scientists, Language
Specialists and Electronic Engineers.
Our Mathematicians work with applied and
pure math. They apply and create a host of
advanced concepts from Galois theory and
combinatorics to probability theory and
astrodynamics.
Computer Scientists discover a variety of
projects and technology that is virtually unpar
alleled. We use literally acres of computers,
including hardware from every major manu
facturer. Applications include everything from
communciations software to artificial
intelligence.
Language Specialists in Slavic, Near East,
and Asian languages contribute to our mission
in many ways. NSA linguists tackle the
challenges of translation, transcription and
analysis. They use both their language skills
and their knowledge of world events.
Violence continues in Israel:
Moslem fundamentalist killed
From Associated Press reports
GAZA CITY, Occupied Gaza
Strip Israeli troops shot and
killed a Moslem fundamentalist in
a violent demonstration Tuesday,
and a U.N. envoy's attempts to
inspect refugee camps were frus
trated by soldiers and protesters.
Military spokesmen said the
army imposed curfews on five of
the eight Gaza Palestinian refugee
camps.
In the Israeli parliament, For
eign Minister Shimon Peres
appealed for an effort to end the
violence by political means. Haw
kish members accused him of
caving in to Arab demands.
At least 32 Arabs have been
killed since violent protests began
Dec. 8 in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, which Israel captured from
Jordan and Egypt in the 1967
Middle East War. About 1.5
million Palestinians live in the
territories.
The military command said sol
diers opened fire when their lives
were threatened by a crowd of
knife-wielding Arabs in Rafah, at
the southern end of the Gaza Strip.
Soldiers fire on protesters
NABLUS, Occupied West
Bank Walking through the
streets of this West Bank city, a
squad of red-bereted Israeli para
troopers encountered angry stares
and a street barricaded by
protesters.
There was a sharp report, then
another, as a squad of soldiers
from another unit fired rubber
bullets and then tear gas at about
20 Arab teenagers.
The soldiers' mission is to keep
the main roads open and to show
presence, to demonstrate they had
control of the situation. But
