Faculty agree with Israeli restraint in Gulf conflict by J.P. Raynock Cabrini faculty members who have spent extensive time in Israel are supporting the nation's policy of not retaliating against Iraq in the Persian Gulf crisis. Gerald Satlow, associate professor of computer science~lived in Israel for 14 months, from June 1986 to August 1987. While there, he worked as a volunteer, teaching nursery school and tutoring math, computer science and English. He also taught English at the seventh-grade level for a semester, worked at a summer camp for Ethiopian immigrants, and worked as a correspondence secretary for an artists' colony and in a data processing unit. When asked about Israel's in-
volvement in the Persian Gulf, Satlow said, :•1 think the representatives of Israel that we have seen on television have expressed very articulately and accurately where Israel is at." Satlow went on to say that while Israel has always had a policy of retaliation to prevent other countries from attacking with impunity, they have always been very selective, choosing the time, the place and the form of retaliation. "It seems to me that they are acting consistent with that policy," Satlow said with regards to Israel's lack of retaliation up to this point. Satlow also said that he felt with such extreme provocation, Israel was showing great resraint in not retaliating, not only for Israel, but for any country. He said that any

country which had been bombed would probably accept it as a declaration of a state of war. "It is a special restraint if you will," Satlow said, •'and personally, I think it is a very wise policy." Satlow went on to say that he felt that at this point in time, Israel would probably gain very little from retaliation, but would probably upset the pan-Arabian alliance with the U.S. When asked about Israel's feeling's towards the U.S. as their allies, Satlow said that the Israeli's regard America as a strong ally and that much of their social behavior, as well as their technology, is modeled on those of the U.S. However, Satlow said that "The Israeli's have always maintained a very strong sense of independence and have always made it quite clear that they do not want people to come help them." He went on to say that they have asked for equipment and training in the past, but that was so they could do the job themselves. "I think the Israelis will stay out of the war as long as possible," Sallow said, "and I think it would be to their serious detriment if they became active participants. Israel cannot afford to lose the manpower." Satlowwentonto say that he doesn't think there is anything Israel can do at this time that the U.S. and its allies are not already
