International Conference:
A Last Chance For Peace?

A Detroit visitor sees the proposal as a face-saving opportunity
for the Arabs and a peace chance for Israel

An international conference for
peace in the Middle East does not
frighten Annette Dulzin, and it
should not scare Israel.
Dulzin told Zionist leaders in
Detroit this week that Shimon Peres
agreed to an international confer-
ence when he was prime minister of
Israel. That was an umbrella, an
opening," said the Yediot Achronot
political columnist who is the wife of
Jewish Agency and WZO head Aryeh
Dulzin and the Detroit Zionist Fed-
eration's scholar-in-residence this
week.
It is important to the Arab
world to save face," Mrs. Dulzin told a
reception Monday evening. "Often
the posture is more important than
the reality." She called an interna-

tional conference "a pretext" that
would lead to face-to-face talks be-
tween Israel and her Arab adver-
saries.
She discounted any major role
for the Soviet Union in such a confer-
ence — "We won't allow the Russians
to impose anything" — and also dis-
counted the controversy raised by the
issue within the Israeli government.
Asked by local Herut supporter Ste-
ven Goldin if the issue would bring
down Israel's coalition government,
Mrs. Dulzin responded, "Govern-
ment is like a modern symphony:
there are many crescendoes, but the
end is always far away."
Mrs. Dulzin came to Detroit
after a short visit to Rome, where she
discussed Zionism at the national
convention of the Italian Radical
Party and on state-run television.
Her appearances, she said, were a

sensation because the multi-lingual
Dulzin addressed her audiences in
Italian.
She found the Italian people, un-
like their media, to be very sym-
pathetic to Israel, but it is an attitude
she views with suspicion. "When Is-
rael is in trouble, everyone is sym-
pathetic beause we are the 'poor Jew.'
But when we are not the poor Jew,
they are not so sympathetic."
Mrs. Dulzin said the news media
does a better job in the United States
than in most countries in reporting
the facts, but the attitudes of writers
and editors still shape the facts. She
was referred on Tuesday to a story in
the Detroit Free Press describing a
Detroit Palestinian's experience in
crossing into the West Bank from
Jordan. The woman, Nuha Aranki,
was detained and strip searched by
