Israel agreed in principle on
the talks, but "the details,
format, location, timing,
participants — none of these
were worked out."
Among Israel's stipula-
tions for taking part in the
conference is that the PLO
not participate.
Mr. Finkelman, the son of
Marilyn and Rabbi Louis
Finkelman, said Palestinian
participation in an interna-
tional conference is
necessary. But he does not
believe this presence means
the PLO.
"A lot of Palestinians say,
`We are represented by the
PLO and that's it,' " he said.
"But Israel is not in the posi-
tion to talk with leaders of
the PLO."
- He said Israel's barriers in
speaking with the PLO are
twofold. First, he said,
Israelis are not prepared
psychologically to negotiate
with men who only weeks
before backed Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein. Israelis
will not quickly forget put-
ting on their gas masks, he
said.
In addition, Israel is anx-
ious about the practical side
of talking with the PLO, Mr.
Finkelman said.
"The PLO is wishy-
washy," he said. "One
minute they're saying their
platform is 'Down with ter-
rorism.' The next minute
they're on the rooftops
cheering the Scuds. You
can't believe what the PLO
tells you."
Mrs. Kotzen agreed that
talks with Palestinians are
needed — but not talks with
the PLO.
"The PLO is a terrorist
organization," she said. "Its
whole aim is to destroy
Israel."
The most critical factor for
the success of an interna-
tional conference is that all
participants come willing to
compromise, Mr. Finkelman
said. He believes Israelis
would be willing to com-
promise "if they see a lot of
moderate talk from all their
Arab neighbors, and see a
quick slowdown of violence
within Israel."
Arabs, meanwhile, ex-
pressed disappointment and
frustration with Israel's
stipulations for the proposed
conference. They took issue
with Israel's demands that
the conference be one-time,
non-binding and that it not
include the PLO.
"Any kind of dialogue is
important," said Jessica
Daher, regional coordinator
for the Detroit office of the
Arab-American Anti-
Discrimination Committee.
"But that the conference be

A long stalemate.
non-binding means it will
lead to nothing.
"It's also unfortunate that
Israel is not willing to talk to
the PLO," she added. "The
Palestinians, like everyone
else, have a right to say who
will represent them. Israel
has no right to dictate who
will speak for the Palestin-
ians."
James Zogby, director of
the Arab-American Institute
in Washington, D.C., said
that "the kind of conference
Israel has proposed is not
worth convening, and that's
unfortunate."
He explained, "It would be
largely ceremonial. Israel
wants to define who it will
talk to, what will be talked
about and what the U.S. can
say at the outset. It has
taken the concept of a con-
ference and gutted it of any
content. The terms it has set
for participation render it
meaningless."
Ken Knoppow, co-
chairman of the New Jewish
Agenda's Middle East com-
mittee, also was unhappy by
Israel's announcement that
it would not participate in a
conference with the PLO.
"As long as the Shamir
government insists on choos-
ing both sides of the Israeli-
Palestinian delegation,
there will be severe limita-
tions to what can be ac-
complished," Mr. Knoppow
said. "We need to meet with
the other side as chosen by
the other side."
While hopeful Israel's an-
nouncement could create
momentum for peace, he
said he doesn't envision a
settlement until Israel elects
a government "committed to
peace instead of pieces of
land." ❑
