professor's talk before an
audience of 300 at the Jew-
ish Community Center was
delivered shortly after
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat had called home his
delegation to peace talks in
Israel.
Fein was the afternoon
speaker for the all-day. In-

cal science professor at
Oakland University. Apple-
ton focused on the issue of
anti-Semitism in America.
On a recent visit to Egypt
and Syria, Fein, editor of

Bank) can be substituted for
self-determination is unac-
ceptable to even the most
moderate Arab leaders," he
said.
Fein said Sadat realized
that Israelis disagree on the
West Bank problem. No
prime minister, even a
dove. could agree to the
concessions Egypt wants
and convince the bulk of the
Israeli population that such
a move is responsible, he
said.
He expressed concern
that the American Jewish
community will be "split
wide open" if the collapse of
peace talks is "perceived as
the consequence of Israel
policy on the West Bank. -
(See Readers Forum, Page
40, for criticism of Fein's
speech.)
He noted that Sadat has
made no significant con-
cessions. -When he says
he's ready- to live with Is-
rael, that's no concession,
that's growing up."
Appleton, the morning
speaker, said various public
opinion polls-show anti-Sem-
itic attitudes are decreasing
in the United States, but are
still voiced by more than
four million Americans.
There are at least as many
anti-Se-mites in the country
as Jews, he said.
Those who _gave Jews, as
a group, the lowest rating in
the polls are dis-
proportionately male, young
(under 24), poor and East-
erners. They tend to live
either in very large cities or
in very rural areas, he said.
Anti-Semites tend to be
alienated from the popu-
lation in general and tend to
hate all other groups which
they perceive as -,-"cer-
ent. -
Appleton said it is nearly
impossible to alter the opin-
ions of hard-core anti-Semi-
tes. They don't pay atten-
tion to newspapers or other
places where public rela-
tions campaigns might be
waged, he said. "And they
aren't rational people in the
first place."
It was his opinion that
when Nazis say or do any-
thing that • is a direct in-
citement to violence, they
can be taken to court with-
out imposing pre-censorship
on them.
