...groups with a distinct neo-Nazi ideology jumped from 1,400 to 1,800 in the past year, according to federal officials. Paradoxically, the increase is occurring at a time when political support for right-wing extremist groups has plummeted. The Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (N.P.D.), the only legal ultraright party, won 1.4 million votes, or 4.3% of the total, in 1969.

Although rhetorical fireworks are anticipated and Begin is certain to come under blistering attack from the ultra-left and ultraright, there is almost no chance that the measure will fail. The opposition Labor Party leader, Shimon Peres, has already indicated that he will support the treaty, even though by voting against it he might be able to topple Begin's government. Said Peres: "Peace comes before power, and I would prefer...
