WARREN • DEARBORN Arab-Israeli dialogue Continued from. Page 1 the Israelis and the Palestinians. "In the zero-sum conflict, there is no middle ground." Bar-On said the solution to peace is by accommodation. "We have to realize that there are some things both sides can win. By giving up things, you win things that are good for both — survival and the end of bloodshed." But, he added, that violence and force are not the answer. "Violence and force cannot lead either side to achieve its own goals. In our case (the Lebanese invasion) stopped us from achieving anything. "Guerrilla warfare is successful to break the will of the other side. It can be successful against the power that has the option to lose. Israel has no option to lose this war." Despite favoring accommodation, Bar-On found that compromise is "self- defeating." "This approach belongs to a phase we are not yet at. Nobody will be happy, that's the nature of compromise." - Yet, he was hopeful that peace could be achieved. "The time has come to end the 60- year-old bloody conflict. We are bound to exist another 3,000 years or more. We are bound to live next to each other. The only way to do it is by accommodating each other's desires, recognizing each other's rights and recognizing each other's aspira- tions." Milhem, who was greeted by applause, also denounced the Jerusalem attack. "Nobody in his right senses approves of killing innocent people. "I was shocked at the news of people being killed. These boys (the terrorists) knew they would be killed in the streets of Jerusalem. They may not know they're doing damage to their cause." Milhem told the filled-to-capacity forum that, in essence, the Palestinians are not getting a fair shake. "There has been so much injustice done to the Palesti- nians — and I am one of them." He added, however, "I am not speaking on behalf of the Palestinians but I am elected by the Palestinians. They put a lot of confidence in me. I love them." He related the story of Isaac and Ishmael, in which Isaac calls to Ishmael to stop the wars and make peace. Updating the tale, he substituted the late Egyptian leader Anwar el-Sadat for the Ishmael role and Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir as the modern-day Isasc. (Shamir was the foreign minister in the Begin government.) Milhem explained that when Sadat made his famous trip to Jerusalem, he was unsuccessful in gaining anything for the Palestinians, "except Village Leagues as leaderships and expulsions for the (West Bank) mayors, attempts to assassinate the mayors, confiscating more land. That's what Ishmael got when he went to his brother Isaac. Sadat was assassinated be- cause he failed in his mission." Milhem alluded to the peace plan pro- posed by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Fand, which listed among its proposals what the West Bank mayor called "a willingness to recognize Israel." Rather than meet to work out a solution for peace, Milhem said former Israel Defense Minis- ter Ariel Sharon took the opposite tack and ordered settlements to be built for each item on the Saudi peace plan. Milhem said that when the Palesti- nians approach the Israelis on the pros- pects for peace they are rebuffed, adding that when the Palestinians say they will recognize Israel, Israel won't talk to them, and when the PLO says it will negotiate with Israel, Israel won't negotiate with the PLO. Attorney Ken Knoppow, a panelist and member of the co-sponsoring New Jewish Agenda, approached Milhem with the following: "There is power in the Pales- tinian National Movement to transform Israeli public opinion. This morning we saw a very negative way it transformed Israeli public opinion. What we need is a positive way, within the power of thePNM, not to destory Israel but to change the Is- raeli political system and response so peace could be achieved." Milhem was adamant in his response: "I am against Camp David. It is the wrong way to peace. It brings more harm than peace." He called the Sadat visit in vain, adding that "Sadat would have gotten Sinai back if he stayed in Cairo and said 'I recognize Israel.' " Since his expulsion from the West Bank in 1980, Milhem has resided in Am- man, Jordan. He said, however, that he has had no peace since 1948. "If there's no peace for me, there's no peace for anybody." , We have to realize that there are some things both sides can win. By giving up things, you win things that are good for both — survival and the end of bloodshed." Nabil Abraham, another panelist, who is a visiting lecturer at the University of Michigan and an adviser to the Ameri- can Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, took a calmer tone. Identifying himself as a Palestinian American, Abraham said "The alternative to peace is continued war, which is in no one's favor." He said he thought that the election in Israel of a Labor government would put an end to what he called "a doomsday atmosphere" and added, "there is room to arrive at a compromise." In his rebuttal, Bar-On was enraged. He blasted the West Bank mayor for not renouncing terrorism. "But if you aren't able Mr. Milhem to denounce terrorism and terrorism is the only word that fits this stupid deed of your friends in Jerusalem this morning then that means that you personally are not ready and not right in your mind and heart for what I believe can be the best for peace." In his response, Milhem said "I want no more holocausts, neither for Jews nor Arabs. I want eternal co-existence for Jews and Arabs. I'd like to see a peace that lasts long." Although there were no incidences of physical violence at the forum, the Far- mington Hills police posted a squad car in the parking lot of the temple. The crowd, mostly middle aged and older, with a few young adults attending, was orderly and calm. Ed Pinzuk, a member of the New Jewish Agenda, was the evening's mod- erator. Additional kosher cheese for NY poor BY BEN GALLOB For the second time in the last 12 months needy Jews in New. York have received an allotment of cheese from the federal government's surplus food distribution program. On both occasions, a spe- cial effort was made by the Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty to make sure the surplus cheese was certified as kosher. In the first distribution, in May, 1983, more than 37,000 pounds of kosher cheese was distributed through a spe- cial project initiated by the office of Brooklyn Assem- blyman •Dov Hikind and the council. The council and Hikind collected $6,000 to cover the cost differential between kosher and non-kosher surplus cheese, according to Menachem Shayovich, coordinating council president. In February, some 75,000 pounds of kosher cheese was distributed to more than 14,000 needy families and senior citizens in New York. On both occasions, the cheese, packed in five- pound blocks, was produced by the World Cheese Co. of New York. The cheese this Copyright 1984, JTA Inc.
