Biden, a charismatic man in his
mid-40s who is reportedly consid-
ering a Presidential bid next time
around, said he is disturbed to
find a "sanguine attitude" among
many American Jews. "Things
are going well now because we
have a window of opportunity," he
said in reference to the Mideast.
"But I am skeptical because we
don't know how long that window
will stay open."
He reminded his attentive
audience that the U.S.-Israel re-
lationship is on a constant "roller-
coaster." With the whole world
beginning to focus on Israel
through the Mideast talks," he
said he is concerned that Israel
will be blamed for inflexiblity if a
quick solution is not found. Biden
asserted that Americans still do
not truly understand the Mideast
situation, due primarily, he said,
to three myths: that the Saudis
are a pillar in the region; that
somehow Arafat will come around
and be more accommodating; and
that Hussein is able to take bold
steps for peace.
He countered that the Saudis
are just "an 80-family oligarchy in
a sea of Islamic fundamentalism"
and are incapable of promoting
the peace process, that Arafat is
incapable of moving the PLO
toward peace and that Hussein is
more concerned with staying
alive than meeting with Israel.
"Hussein doesn't want to appear
in the second edition ofProfiles In
Courage," observed Biden. "He'll
be shot dead if he sticks his neck
out."
Biden suggested that the situa-
tion now in the Mideast is as
potentially dangerous as it was
during the Yom Kippur War but
that "the energy level" of the
American Jewish community is
not as high. "You've got to do a lot
more," he chided his audience.
"I'm not going to call cards here,
but there's a direct correlation be-
tween what I can do on the Senate
floor and the energy level of the
American Jewish community.
"If not for Israel, the Soviets
would take over the Mideast in a
minute. Why are we so defen-
sive?" he asked.
As for changes in American pol-
icy, he called for "doing away with
the myths" he had described, hav-
ing Washington announce to the
world that "Israel is first among
friends," and not allowing Israel
to make any territorial conces-
sions until there was proof it was
worth the risk.
Following up on Biden's
analysis/pep talk, David Herme-
lin, the energetic Detroiter who
along with his wife, Doreen,
chaired the mission, told the par-
ticipants that "the real test for
American Jews is to come to the
aid of Israel when blood is not
being spilled."
The Hermelins were the
catalyst for many who partici-
pated in the whirlwind trip. The
group flew into Washington at 9
a.m. and, before flying home at 9
p.m., visited the American-Israel
Public Affairs Committee for a
briefing, heard about the Soviet
Jewry situation from a
Washington-based leader, sent a
delegation to protest at the Soviet
Embassy, lunched while listening
to a parade of Congressmen, vis-
ited the Israeli Embassy, the
State Department and had a
kosher dinner at a Washington
hotel.
Despite the seriousness of their
goal, the group was spirited, due
mainly' to David. Hermelin's
famed sense of humor and
whimsy. Each participant re-
ceived from Hermelin a salami
snack, a string of jokes on the two
buses and an impromptu aerobic
exercise session at the State De-
partment — to the amazement of
the Foggy Bottom Mideast expert
who was about to brief the group.
"The Hermelins are remarka-
ble for their caring and their
energy," said Allan Gelfond, who
helped staff the trip for the Allied
Jewish Campaign.
Alvin Gendelman and his wife,
Lynne, said they took part in the
trip because they knew the
Hermelins and they welcomed the
opportunity to participate in "a
kind of crash course on Israel."
Lynne is planing to convert to
Judaism.
Eric Winkelman, a business-
man, said he came along on the
mission because he felt the need to
