FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1989
saft's decision to meet with
the PLO said that only Israel
should negotiate with the
Palestinian organization. But
Rosensaft noted that the PLO
has targeted Jews
everywhere, not just Israelis.
He pointed to the attacks on
the Rome synagogue and Jo
Goldenberg's Paris
restaurant.
The PLO "had declared war
not only on Israel and
Israelis, but on all Jews
throughout the world," he
said. "Therefore, was it not in-
cumbent upon us to try to
stop the violence?"
Rosensaft and the other
American Jewish leaders met
twice with Arafat. The first
meeting lasted more than
seven hours; the second lasted
two.
As a result of the meetings,
the PLO gave formal approval
to the Stockholm declaration.
Its members made clear that
they were committed to a two-
state solution in the Middle
East, Rosensaft said.
With these statements the
PLO has "in effect revoked
the (PLO) charter," he said,
adding that Arafat had said
during the meeting that all
statements calling for the
destruction of Israel were
"abrogated and nullified."
American Jewish leaders
gave mixed reaction to the
Geneva meeting, but Rosen-
saft said it was "much, much
quieter" than usual.
George Shultz was less
reserved. One week after the
meeting, he announced that
the United States would
holds talks with the PLO.
Rosensaft said the PLO
members appeared highly
educated and conservatively
dressed. He said they acted
like formidable opponents
who in no way appeared
fanatical but knew a great
deal about the Israeli political
scence.
He said Arafat's position at
the Geneva meeting is not
new, though the PLO leader
had previously expressed his
more moderate views only in
private. The change in Arafat
began after the intifada, he
said.
Before the Palestinian
uprising in the West Bank
and Gaza, Arafat didn't think
the PLO "had any shot at a
state," Rosensaft said. But
with the intifada, it felt
responsible for a national
movement whose goal was to
establish an independent
state in the territories.
Rosensaft said the meeting
with Arafat was important
for several reasons.
First, he said it may help
pave the way toward peace
that takes into account the
rights of both peoples. Two
months ago "no one was even
thinking in terms of a solu-
tion," he said. "Now, we're at
a stage where no one has
quite found a solution, but
people are envisioning the
possibility of one."
Second, Rosensaft said he
hopes the talks are the begin-
ning of a mutual process of
"de-demonization of the
enemy?' Israel and the PLO
have regarded each other as
"evil incarnate," he said. But
after the meeting, perhaps
the two can see each other in
human terms, he said. "One
does not sit down and talk
with evil."
Judge Orders
Thal For THo
Lima (JTA) — A Peruvian
Judge has ruled that three
alleged members of the Abu
Nidal gang must stand trial
on charges of conspiring to at-
tack Jews and Americans in
that country, and for plotting
other terrorist acts, the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith reported last week.
The judge said the three
had records of terrorism in
several countries, including
Austria, Italy and Israel.
According to the ADL, at
the time of their arrest in Ju-
ly 1988 the three men had in
their possesion the license
plate numbers of Peruvian
Jews, and information about
Jews and other individuals
and institutions they had
targeted for attack.
These included the U.S.
Embassy in Lima, and Peru-
vian and international planes
and ships.
