Jerusalem needs a political solution for the occupied West Bank and Gaza, one that will lessen the onus of running a purely military administration in the occupied territories. The need may bring Israel back to its initial position in the Camp David peace process. That stance, as reiterated by a Begin aide last week, was simple. "Look," he said, "everything is negotiable...
...they all had problems with their fathers, or father-figures, early in life--the sure trigger to a Pavlovian response from a Freud-fancier.

It is also important that the Arab-Israeli peace process take on a more multinational cast, thus easing the onus on Egypt's Anwar Sadat as the odd man out in the Arab world. Sadat's isolation makes him politically vulnerable both to internal enemies, like Muslim fundamentalists, and to external foes, like the irrepressible Gaddafi. Sadat's troubles are economic as well as political; he would be in a better position to deliver his long-promised...
