...government waited for the banks to close last Friday noon before announcing the austerity program. Almost immediately after Finance Minister Yehoshua Rabinowitz told the nation the bad news in a radio broadcast, riots broke out in the rundown Hatikva section of Tel Aviv. For three nights mobs of hundreds of people roamed through the streets stoning cars and policemen and looting shops. Orderly demonstrations took place in Haifa, at Ben-Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv, and in Ashdod. More ominous for the government than the demonstrations was the action of the 1,100,000-member General Federation of Labor...
...achievement is all the more notable because an arkful of poets and novelists-Amos Oz, Avraham B. Yehoshua, Yehuda Amichai, among others-have been there first with the agonies of self-examination. Despite them, The Israelis deserves Elon's own description: "The first critical analysis of Israel written from within."

The last of the meetings was a secret caucus at the home of Tel Aviv's mayor, Yehoshua Rabinowitz. Three faces were missing. Premier Golda Meir had purposely absented herself. Pinhas Sapir, Israel's Finance Minister and the party's powerful kingmaker, was traveling on government business. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan had not been invited. The consensus of the meeting, after lengthy discussion, was that Sapir...
...YEHOSHUA ARIELI, history professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is Aridor's mirror image. Arieli is one of the founders of the "Movement for Peace and Security," which was started by teachers, students and center and left-wing Israeli politicians in 1967 to influence opinion on the question of occupied territories. Arieli would prefer to call the hawks "annexationists" and the doves "negotiators." The annexationists, he feels, are "fanatics at worst and Zionist chauvinists at best." Some negotiator proposals for solving the Middle East crisis...
