Until a Palestinian leadership arises which is willing to base its claim on the deep-felt national identity of the Palestinian people, rather than on denial of the deep-felt national identity of the Jews, which will reciprocate the proclamation of Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann, that "co-operation and friendly work with the Arab people must be the cornerstone of all our Zionist activities in the land of Israel," and which will advocate its cause with treaties at a peace table instead of with the grenades and machine guns of terrorist "freedom fighters" on civilian buses--until that...
KATZ / KEEPING A BALANCE Dr. Chaim Weizmann, like all the idealists of his generation, would be most unhappy at some of the standards in today's international relations. He would be appalled, for example, at the way great Western powers dance to the political tune of their Arab oil-suppliers.

There is less enthusiasm for the new Defense Minister, former Air Force Chief Ezer Weizman, 53, the hawkish nephew of Israel's first President, Chaim Weizmann. Ezer Weizman has frequently criticized the Labor Party for being too timid with the Arabs. Some Washington, and even Israeli, observers were pleased that ex-General Sharon, another outspoken hawk, had to settle for the Agriculture Ministry instead of the job he wanted: a Cabinet-level position in charge...
