I NEWS I APATHY and ASSIMILATION may be the FINAL SOLUTION Thousands Rally For PLO Talks but it is sure to be the ml Aviv — (JTA) Thousands of Israelis turned out for a Peace Now rally in a heavy downpour late last weekend, urging the government to talk to the Palestine Libera- tion Organization. The crowd, huddling under umbrellas in Malchei Yisrael Square, outside the City Hall, was almost as large as the ex- pected turnout in good weather. A poll published last week showed that 54 percent of Israelis favor talks with the PLO. The rally was addressed by opposition Knesset members Shulamit Aloni of the Citizens Rights Movement, Amnon Rubinstein of the Center-Shinui Movement, Victor Shemtov and Elazar Granot of Mapam and Abd el- Wahab Darousha of the Arab Democratic List. There were also several speakers from the Labor Par- ty, including Arie Eliav and Yael Dayan. They castigated the pre- vious government and the new coalition for rejecting even the idea of negotiations with the PLO. They believe the latest statements by PLO leader Yassir Arafat represents a move forward that should be tested.
