TEL AVIV - At Gadi's Happy Beach Club, the gang showed more
concern over whether the surf's up than whether the Palestinian
uprising will continue.
"Our customers come here to have fun," said David Yogel, the
manager of the club. "They don't care about the intifadah."
Behind him, dozens of Israelis lounged in the sun or splashed
in the Mediterranean Sea. Although the spikes of minarets in the
picturesque, old Arab city of Jaffa loom from a peninsula down the
beach, there is little tension in Tel Aviv.
In the garrison state that is Israel, Tel Aviv has always been
a conscientious objector.
