Moreover, American Jews are far from monolithic, even in their support of Israel. Anti-Zionist Jews are only a tiny minority today, as are the pro-Arab Jewish radicals who emerged in the '60s. Still, individual Jews have questioned Israeli policies. Some have criticized the Israelis' wisdom in occupying Arab lands for so long after the 1967 war and in not trying harder to make a land-for-peace deal. Others deplore Israel's treatment of Arabs in occupied territories...
...most intriguing questions about the rumors is who started them. Orchestration of what may well be a politically motivated smear campaign has been variously attributed to leftists embittered by their defeat in last spring's election, Israeli embassy officials angered by France's pro-Arab tilt, secret-service men disturbed by Giscard's cavalier disregard of their efforts to protect him, Sygma photographers miffed by presidential patronage of a rival Gamma photographer, and old-guard civil servants appalled by Discard's relatively breezy approach to running the government.

...these is Masmoudi, a personal friend of Gaddafi's, who favors many of the Libyan leader's pro-Arab, anti-Western sentiments. Masmoudi advocated unification with Libya, and most likely saw it as a means of improving his own position in the Tunisian power struggle. At week's end, evidence of political difficulties within Tunisia mounted as soldiers occupied key Tunis intersections. Premier Hedi Nouira, a rival of Masmoudi's and a foe of unification, described the troop movements as a "precaution." They were probably meant to discourage Tunisian youth, many of whom admire Gaddafi, from...
