What it looks like objectively is this: the west and the west- dominated entity, like an ostrich, bury their heads in the sand as if past experience has taught them nothing, preferring instead to see the resolution as an end; the east and the east-dominated entity see the division merely as another stage in the final war. For example: two Koreas, two Vietnams, two Chinas, two Germany s. WHAT Jimmy Carter and, presumably Jimmy Callaghan, are preaching increasingly these days is two Palestines, joining the Arabs in this absurdity in order to ignore the fact that the original Palestine partition plan of Nov. 30, 1947 established one Palestine and one Israel. In the 1948 war, Jordan an- nexed the first Palestine to make it her West Bank, now occupied by Israel. Why, then, a second Palestine? To which western opportunism can only respond: why not? Ashraf Ghorbal's appearance before the Synagogue Council of America is as profound an answer to this question couched in Egypt's own fear of a second Palestine entity as was Anwar Sadat's appearance before the Knesset in Jerusalem. It is, despite the western concern that things are getting out of hand their hand a prophecy of a separate Israel- Egypt peace, however much Washington, London and Moscow resent it, and however much the other Arab nations insist they will not tolerate it. THE Israel-Egypt peace initi- ative shows what liars we are, much like the Arabs themselves, in our high falutin' idealism. Unless there's profit we can see to turn in it, we don't give a fig for peace. What a delight, therefore, at least for the moment, that Jeru- salem and Cairo have both waved the umpires off the field. The Arab enemy is trans- parent. But us? We need our self- exaltation as minions of human- ism deflated. How sweet it is that when Ghorbal appeared before the Synagogue Council, he didn't first ask for Jimmy Carter's okay. I never thought I would quote Gamal Abdel Nasser in this context. But if the time for peace is near, and we don't like it because it doesn't profit us, let the extremists, both Arab and western, "choke on their fury" as Egypt and Israel attempt to negotiate that goal.
