New York (JTA) — New York City Mayor Edward Koch and the Rev. Jesse Jackson shook hands briefly after a two-hour meeting last Wednesday, and agreed to pursue a "common agenda" that would include attacking urban problems and getting out the vote for Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis. "The grandsons and grand- daughters of slaves and the sons and daughters of the Holocaust must sit down and find common ground," Jack- son said at a news conference following the meeting. Both tried to deflect atten- tion from events in April, when tensions flared during the New York Democratic ALL 1488 1-111DMIF_AUAAA. MERCHANDISE 1 OFF & MUCH MORE FRIDAY-SATURDAY SUNDAY 3 DAYS ONLY!

FARMINGTON HILLS primary following remarks by Koch, who said Jews and other supporters of Israel would have to be "crazy" to vote for Jackson, and that Jackson had lied about his participation in the events following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The news conference was held at New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's Manhattan office at 2 World Trade Center. Cuomo said that the meeting was not "an attempt to go back into history, to April 1988, or for- ward into April 1989." Cuomo scolded reporters who questioned the attempt at harmony. "Here are two great Democratic leaders," Cuomo said. "One is talking about the future, the other about the pain people are feel- ing in our cities, and all you want to know is if they're go- ing to marry each other. Koch said that apologies were not the purpose of the meeting, but the need to forge ahead. Koch said in the past months he had already apol- ogized for the stridency, if not the substance, of his remarks. Accompanying Jackson at the closed meeting were Manhattan Borough Presi- dent David Dinkins, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), labor leader Stanley Hill and Jackson's son Jonathan. Koch was accompanied by businessman Peter Strauss, who is Jewish. Outside the building, about 15 members of Jews Against Jackson demonstrated while carrying signs reading "Welcome to Hymietown"and "Hymies for Bush." The signs were a reference to a remark made by Jackson about the city during his bid for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination in 1984. Violence In Territories Jerusalem (JTA) — Violence erupted in the territories last Wednesday when residents staged a general strike for the -second consecutive day. The strike halted public transportation, making it im- possible for many laborers in the territories to report for work in Israel proper. Two Arabs died in clashes with the army, according to reports by Arab sources who said the violence began early Wednesday when Israel De- fense Force soldiers raided the West Bank village of Beit Rima, near Ramallah. The Arab sources claimed that some 15 residents were arrested. The army then moved on to the nearby village of Deir Ghassana, where residents attacked the soldiers with stones, bottles and bricks. The army fired, killing Fathi el-Barghouti, 22; five others were wounded. A spokesper son for the IDF said he could not confirm the incident. In the Gaza Strip, violence erupted in the Shabura neighborhood of Rafah as residents violated the curfew. The army fired tear gas and rubber bullets, injuring one. Quiet tension prevailed over the West Bank city of Nablus, following violent demonstrations last Tuesday night, in which at least nine were wounded. Palestinian youths gath- ered along the highways and attacked Israeli vehicles with stones. Likud Cabinet Minis- ter Moshe Arens suggested during a tour of Ramallah on Wednesday that measures should be taken to prevent potential rock-throwers from approaching the major roads.
