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 Leon Warshay: 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." ❑ The Jewish Telegraphic Agency contributed to this report.
