Mordechai Bar-On, a leader in the Peace Now Movement and a former aide to the late Defense and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan said: "What's hap- pening (to) American Jewry is somewhat tragic — They can't do anything else but support the policies of the government of Israel." Nafez Nazzal, a history professor at Bir Zeit Uni- versity in the West Bank, said: "I felt that there is a sense of concern among Jews of what's happening in the Mideast. I also found that among American Jews there was knowledge of the situation (in the Mideast) but no courage." He said he found "confusion" regard- ing the issue of the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion. He said that the PLO represents the Palestinian people and it is an illusion for anyone to think other- wise. Bar-On and Nazzal spoke .

German leader slates talks with Qaddafi Bonn (JTA) — The West German government has announced that Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher will visit Libya Monday to hold talks with ruler Muammar el-Qaddafi, his top aide Abdul Salam Jalloud and other officials. Bonn diplomats went out of their way to stress that the visit was planned before the latest incident in London, in which a policewoman was killed by shots from the Li- byan Embassy. According to the Bonn diplomats, Genscher is eager to have a dialogue with a representative of a radical Arab state espe- cially at this critical stage of Middle East diplomacy. But the visit, the diplomats added, does not mean that Bonn intends to give any additional political weight to Qaddafi's regime. In order to demonstrate an even-handed approach, Genscher's aide Juergen Moellemann will visit Egypt several days before the Foreign Minister leaves for Tripoli. Moellemann will meet president Hosni Mubarak and other offi- cials, notably Defense Minister Mohamed Abu Ghasala (who was here last year to hold talks on arms sales and on assembl- ing West German weapons systems. in Egypt).
