Several questions focused on the Israeli army's reaction toward the Palestinian uprising in the territories. "If you play with fire, you're going to get burned!' replied the consul. "We are not the ones who ig- nited the fire. If you hit soldiers with fire bombs, you cannot expect that they won't fire back." Interest in the territories has spread on the U-M cam- pus. The Monday morning edition of the Michigan Dai- ly, the university's student newspaper, published an editorial denouncing Israel's current conduct in the West Bank which was signed by 15 pro-Palestinian groups. They included the New Jewish Agenda, The United Coali- tion Against Racism and the Palestine Solidarity Committee. After Brosh' speech, the demonstators defended their actions. Said one of them, U- M sophomore Noah Sudar- sky: "When you're in a posi- tion of weakness, you choose a more radical approach." Linda Benson contributed to this report.

Farmington Hills, MI 48018 Southgate 13350 Fort Street Southgate, MI 48195 Drive-in facility here are two major frustrations in making Israel's case regarding the current Gaza and West Bank crisis. One is that there is little tolerance for the historical argument, no matter how logical. People's eyes tend to glaze over when you mention that Jordan itself is a Palesti- nian state or when you sum- marize the events of 1947 or 1967 which led to this predicament. What they can relate to is the image of Israeli soldiers firing on unarmed Arab youths or the Palestinian demand for a homeland. The second frustration is that when it comes to hasbarah, a Hebrew word somewhere between public relations and propaganda, Israel appears to be its own worst enemy. Following are six nuggets of information that help put the Arab-Israeli conflict in con- text, and six hasbarah sug- gestions for the Jerusalem government. The Conflict In Perspective: 1. Twenty-one years ago, Palestinian youths in the West Bank and East Jerusalem rioted against oc- cupation and were fired on by armed troops. Only the oc- cupier at that time was Jor- dan and the troops firing live ammunition, not rubber bullets, were soldiers in King Hussein's Arab Legion. The point is that the in- habitants suffered worse treatment under Arab rule than under the Israelis, who have improved their health, educational and financial situations. 2. The Palestinians call for "self-determination!" Which of the existing 20 Arab states now has self-determination rather than rule by king or dictator? 3. Had the Arabs accepted the 1947 partition, Israel would be a tiny fraction of its current size. Had the Arabs not gone to war against Israel in 1967, the Jewish • state would be far smaller today. Indeed, the boundaries the Arabs now call for are the ones they had prior to June, 1967. Why then did they go to war? 4. There is no symmetry in the Arab-Israel equation. For while most Israelis favor negotiations with the Arabs to determine the future of the West Bank and Gaza, the Arabs do not recognize Israel's right to exist. Who can Israel negotiate with? 5. Gaza was under Egyp- tian control from 1948 to 1967, but the residents never received Egyptian passports. Israel took over after Egypt abandoned the territory. Un- til there is a settlement, Israel is bound under interna- tional law to keep law and order for the sake of the population and to protect itself — and Jordan — from the PLO, which the U.S. con- tinues to declare a terrorist organization 6. The United States has criticized Israel for "excessive violence" in quelling the Arab disturbances against Israeli soldiers. Was it ex-
