...encouraged equally irrelevant counteraccusations of Jewish self-hate but this time did not reinstate the old cautionary mode. Unswervingly pro-Israel publications such as the New Republic, several Jewish organizations, 30 U.S. Senators sympathetic to Israel and last week President Reagan have expressed their impatience with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's hardheadedness. People seem to be catching on that to dance on eggshells about Israel is not only weirdly awkward, it opposes all that one understands both Jewishness and Americanness...

At the same time, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir was being pressed to accept a new U.S. peace plan that would initiate talks this spring with an international conference, settle arrangements for Palestinian self- rule, and begin by December to negotiate a permanent end to the occupation by handing back parts of the disputed land to Arab control.

"When I was out there, the Israelis had the Egyptian Third Army surrounded in the Sinai and their army was pressing at the gates of Damascus. In addition, you now have a pair of extremely tough guys in ((Prime Minister Yitzhak)) Shamir and ((Foreign Minister Shimon)) Peres." Tougher than the U.S. might like, according to Kissinger. "Shultz doesn't know it, but it's in the nature of things that the Israelis won't settle until everyone's reached exhaustion, just to make sure they get a good deal...
