Thousands storm streets in Mideast
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Tens of thousands of peo
ple protesting the Palestinian autonomy plan
laid siege to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's
office Tuesday, vowing to clog the surround
ing streets for 24 hours.
The rally was the first of a series spearhead
ed by the opposition Likud bloc to try to force
the government to new elections or at least a
referendum over the autonomy plan.
Police sources estimated the crowd size at
50,000, Israel TV said.
Many had come on buses from throughout
Israel.
Organizers claimed the crowd numbered in
the hundreds of thousands.
"This is the opening round in an unprece
dented struggle," Likud leader Binyamin Ne
tanyahu told the rally, calling the autonomy
plan negotiated with the PLO in secret a lie.
"And the greatest lie of them all is that this
dangerous agreement will bring peace," said
Netanyahu, who claimed that the throng had
reached 300,000.
"It will not bring peace, it will bring more
terror, more terror, more terror. It is laying the
groundwork for the next war," Netanyahu
said.
The Likud bloc is staking its political future
on opposition to Palestinian autonomy.
It is gambling that security fears will ulti
mately influence the public more than the
hope that a political settlement would end the
bloodshed.
With Rabin's government and Arafat al
ready committed to the plan, chances of derail-
"This is not a demonstration.
It is going in the direction of a
revolt/
- Uri Ariel, leader of the West
Bank settlers' council
ing the intitiative completely appeared slight.
The Israeli parliament is expected to start
reviewing the plan Thursday.
At a Tel Aviv rally Saturday in support of
the plan, 100,000 people attended.
One banner read, "Death to Traitors," and
some extremists vowed to spill blood if neces
sary. This prompted fears that the protests
would trigger violent clashes.
"This is not a demonstration. It is going in
the direction of a revolt, a revolt of the people
who are telling the prime minister not to go
any further," said Uri Ariel, leader of the West
Bank settlers' council.
Ariel said demonstrators had been told not
to throw stones, and Likud officials said the
party called only for non-violent protests.
The gathering was thick with Israeli flags
and banners denouncing the autonomy plan.
Rabbi Yosef Aronov, director of the Hasidic
Lubavitch movement Chabad in Israel, said
demonstrators wanted to get across the mes
sage that Israel was in danger.
"If the government gives land to the Arabs,
our lives and our childrens' lives are in dan
ger, four million people are in danger. We will
do everything in our power, everything, to get
this message across," Aronov said.
Police pushed back anyone attempting to
cross the barriers forming a buffer zone
around the building, arresting four members
of the extremist Kach movement they said
were preparing to carry out violent acts.
Major streets around several government
buildings were closed and traffic routed
through the suburbs.
About 2,500 extra policemen were deployed
to prevent violence.
Although the proposed agreement calls for
keeping Jewish settlements intact in the occu
pied lands, hard-liners fear that Palestinian
self-rule will eventually bring a Palestinian
state bent on Israel's destruction.

LAOAG, Philippines — Call it
body politics: the use of a leader's
remains to promote the political
agenda of the cause he left behind.
The widow of the late Presi
dent Ferdinand Marcos, whose
body was returned Tuesday for
burial in his homeland, clearly
hopes the funeral will invigorate
his supporters and promote the
family's political fortunes.
Imelda Marcos managed to at
tract a large and enthusiastic
crowd, although much smaller
than the one million her support
ers had predicted.
About 7,000 people turned out
at Laoag airport in a sentimental,
emotional welcome as Marcos'
corpse arrived on a chartered jet
from Honolulu.
Marcos died in Hawaii in Sep
tember 1989, three years after he
was ousted and banished in the
mass uprising that installed Cora-
zon Aquino as president.
Mrs. Marcos, draped in a black
veil and black native dress, kissed
the bier and wept alongside her
three children. Women in the
crowd also wept.
After a colorful ceremony fea
turing native death rituals, the
black metal casket was loaded
aboard a black, horse-drawn car
riage and taken in a solemn pro
cession to the city's cathedral and
later a reviewing stand in front of
the white provincial capitol build-
»ng. .. ‘
Through the afternoon and
evening, townspeople and visitors
filed by the coffin, flanked by a
Philippine flag and the seal of the
president. A sound system blared
out Tlocano prayers and songs for
the dead.
Vendors were selling food and
T-shirts reading "Marcos My
Hero" and "I saw the return of a
great Filipino."
The body was to remain at the
capitol until Wednesday, when it
was to be transported in a torch
light procession to Batac, 9 miles
to the south, for burial Friday in a
stone mausoleum in the yard of
Marcos' family home.
Marcos' mother, Josefa, is to be
buried Thursday. She died in 1988
but her body, too, was kept in a
refrigerated container until her
son's body was returned.
Mrs. Marcos has denied any
political agenda in the wake and
funeral of her husband. She
doesn't have to. Political commen
tators in Manila, most of whom
are anti-Marcos, have done that
for her.
Many prominent commenta
tors wrote Tuesday about the po
litical implications of the Marcos
return.
Although much of it was un
flattering, the coverage and com
mentaries have thrust the Mar
coses back onto political center
stage.
"The atmosphere in Laoag will
not be entirely funereal," wrote
columnist Alex Magno in The
Manila Chrbnicle. "They will
show their sad faces while casting
their eyes on a constituency that is
now leaderless."
