Israel complied. When asked by the United States not to launch a preemptive strike against Iraq. Israel assented. And then. throughout the Persian Gulf war. when attacked night after night by Scud missiles. and asked by the United States not to retaliate or respond. Israel consented. despite the violation this meant to longstanding Israeli defense policy. Then. last March. with the war over and refugees continuing to flow by the thousands to Israel. the United States requested that the Israelis delay their loan guarantee request until September. Israel complied. But when Sep:ember came. they were told to wait still longer.
