much. "I wait for this mo-
ment."
Hart seems satisfied. Then
he jumps back into the con-
versation. He wants people to
know that virtually every na-
tion is taking Arafat serious-
ly. If he is such an evil ter-
rorist, why are so many
governments ready to speak
with the PLO leader, he asks.
When will Israel and Jews
everywhere acknowledge the
truth about Arafat, he
demands, and, in the words of
Maj. Gen. Shlomo Gazit,
former head of Israel military
intelligence in the West Bank
and Gaza, "stop being victims
of (their) own propaganda?"
Hart tosses out a thousand

reasons why, he says, Israel
must negotiate with Arafat.
Like Hart's chapter "The
Man" in his biography on
Arafat, he offers more words
of resounding praise for the
PLO leader. Talk with Arafat,
he says.

He knows the inevitable
response from most Jews and
Israelis: "We can't meet until
we know we can trust him."
Smiling, he pulls out a
phrase from his Middle East
jargon. "Remember what
(former Defense Minister)
Ezer Weizman says: 'How the
hell do I know if I can trust
Arafat until I sit down and
talk to him?' "
