- <p> West European leaders have remained mostly mum as
- PRESIDENT BUSH has gone toe to toe with the Israelis over the
- housing-loan guarantees they have requested to help them absorb
- new Soviet immigrants. But behind the scenes, many Europeans are
- delighted. They have told Washington officials that by insisting
- that peace talks and an Israeli pledge to halt settlements in
- the occupied territories must come before the money, Bush is
- demonstrating a long-overdue evenhandedness to the Arabs as the
- delicate negotiations loom. Says a senior French diplomat: "At
- last Bush is stopping the tail wagging the dog. Without that,
- the peace talks would be doomed from the start." So why not
- support him in public? Says a European diplomat: "We don't want
- to be accused of anti-Semitism."
