...ideas for dealing with Palestinian unrest. Shimon Peres, the Labor Party leader and Foreign Minister in the national unity government, suggested that the elections scheduled for November be moved up in hopes of producing a government better able to deal with the crisis. Predictably, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, head of the right-wing Likud bloc, rejected the idea, saying it "would weaken our standing in the eyes of the Arabs...
...Zionism is peace and equality with the Arabs, that of apartheid is suppression of an "inferior" race.

Though the vast majority of Israelis agreed with Shamir, the decision was denounced by Israel's friends and enemies alike. Declaring that the expulsions violated the Geneva Convention of 1949, the U.S. joined the other 14 members of the United Nations Security Council in demanding that Israel rescind the orders. It marked the first time that the Reagan Administration has voted for a resolution in the Security Council that criticizes Israel by name since 1982, when the group...
