Staff Writer
oshua Fromkin, 16,
and Ariel Weiss, 16,
stood at the podium at
Churchill High School in
Livonia answering the ques-
tions asked by area high
school journalists like sea-
soned pros.
As members of an Israeli
youth delegation, Joshua
and Ariel, both Jerusalem
high school students, this
wasn't the first time they
spoke to other teens about
Israel. In the middle of a
three-week trip, they have
traveled to Chicago, Detroit
and will go to other Midwest
cities, trying to promote
cultural understanding. As
part of their Detroit visit,
they held a March 12 press
conference at Churchill
High School with journalists
from five high schools in
Livonia and Dearborn
Heights.
Although some questions
revolved around the Palesti-
nian-Israeli conflict, the
journalists seemed more in-
terested in everyday life in
Israel both before and dur-
ing the Persian Gulf war
than in politics.
Christine Stepleton, 17, a
senior at Livonia Stevenson
High School, will tell her
readers that men and wo-
men in Israel are required to
serve in the army.
While most American high
school students decide which
college they will attend,
Ariel explained that he
hasn't even thought about it.
"College is such a long way
off," he said. "I have to

only things Israelis are sorry
about is that (Iraqi Presi-
dent) Saddam Hussein is
still in power."
"I do hope there will be
peace in the Middle East,"
said Joshua, who believes
the Palestinians deserve a
homeland. "We can't go on
like this." Keryn Plensdorf,
18, a senior at Annapolis <
High School in Dearborn
Heights, said she knew a
little about Israel from her
Jewish geography teacher,
but she had a better under-
standing of life in Israel
thanks to Ariel and Joshua.
,(
Annapolis is a "lily-white"
school, said Chad Rian, 17,
also a journalist on the
Cougar Crier. There isn't
much cultural diversity so
the conference gave them an
insight they wouldn't have
at their school. ❑
Economic Forecast
Is Luncheon Topic
"Who's Going to Do Well in
the '90s?" is the topic of the
Jewish Welfare Federation's
Economic Forum luncheon,
March 18, at Southfield's
Radisson Plaza.
The noon-1:30 p.m. gather-
ing features Robert Bowman,

"People think Israel is a
very militaristic society;
that everyone carries M-16s
in the streets," said Ariel,
calling it the biggest
misconception about Israel
in the United States.
"There is gun control in
Israel," Joshua said. "You'd
very much be surprised. You
need a license to even carry
a BB gun."
Joshua also spoke about
how the Scud missile attacks
affected life in Israel.
"For the first 10 days after
the Scud attacks there was
no school for high school
students," Joshua said. "But
slowly everything got back
to normal."
"No one likes war, I sup-
pose," Joshua said. "I'm
glad it's over and glader it
