Young Israeli Ambassadors Find
U.S. Peers Different From Selves

By HEIDI PRESS

the two groups was caused
by their domestic situa-
tions. Israeli youth must
join the Civil Guard and
army service is a must.
American youth don't have
to serve guard duty to pro-
tect their homes and
families from terrorists.
Visiting the schools in the
_Detroit area, Gomer and
Moshe found differences in
the local students from the
questions they were asked.
-. "The Jewish students
ask about how the peace
treaty will affect Israel,
what life is like in a kibutz
and about the UN, while
the non-Jewish students
asked about drugs,
drinking, discos, records,
dress and the cost of an
apartment," Moshe said.
The two said the Ameri-
can youth were receptive
and were interested in
learning more about Israel.
Moshe said he was
amazed by the size of the
U.S. "Distances are so big,"
he said. "In Israel every-
thing's very small."

cut-off would not be a major
blow.
Moshe called the UN a
balloon — "full of hot air."
He said no one takes it seri-
ously and was dismayed be-
_ cause he said the Arabs are
"getting their way" in the
world body.
Gomer also criticized
the UN for its role in
Lebanon. "The UN has no
control. The terrorists do
what they want."
Asked about the fre-
quency of terrorist bombs
attacks in Israel, Moshe
sloughed off the question.
"People hardly notice
them. People don't run
away because of the bombs.
Most of the bombs are being
found before they go off
anyway."
Moshe denied reports of
systematic torture of Pales-
tinian prisoners in Israeli
jails. He said the prisoners
get good treatment, and it
was "a crazy lady" who
made up the stories saying
otherwise.
Gomer and Moshe said
until recently Israel had
been treated fairly by the
American press, but
Gomer said the situation
is different now. "Sadat is
popular," she said and
the American media
seemed to be catering to
him.
The two young ambas-
sadors spoke highly of their
country, and touted its re-
sorts and attractions:
"For tourists, it's a fan-
tastic place."
It must be, to produce
such self-assured and
knowledgeable envoys of
whom Israel should be
proud.


Two Israeli students, here

Ministries of Education and

formation about Israel to

„youth movements are
popular in Israel," Moshe
referring to
Hashomer Hatzair and

movements in Israel, the

„youth are bored "so they
