consistent with issues of
human rights. "When it
comes to Arab-Jewish civil
rights, we work together in
lock-step."
Nabeel Abraham, board
member of the Detroit
chapter of the ADC, opposes
the loan guarantees, and
said there are other equally
pressing, humanitarian
issues out there. "There are
300,000 displaced Palestin-
ians and Kuwaitis since the
Gulf War," he said.
Mr. Abraham, a professor
at Henry Ford Community
College in Dearborn, be-
lieves the building of Jewish
settlements will continue
regardless, unless Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir is
voted out of office.
"Bush wants Shamir out of
office," Mr. Abraham said.
"Shamir will have to say no
and face forfeiting the loans.
Bush is banking on it and
his hope is to do future busi-
ness with the Labor Party
and with (former prime min-
ister Yitzhak) Rabin."
Mr. Shamir's beleaguered
Likud Party faces elections
this June. Yet, he was
quoted by Israeli news-
papers saying he would not
stop settlement building in
the West Bank and Gaza
"even for a day." He said
settlements are necessary
both for security reasons and
to drive home Israel's
philosophy and biblical
claim to the territories.
Every American ad-
ministration since 1967 has
opposed Jewish settlements
in the West Bank and Gaza
as an obstacle to peace, but
none, until now, has attemp-
ted to link it to American
economic assistance.
Israeli Consul General to
the Midwest Dr. Yitschak
Ben-Gad said Secretary of
State James A. Baker's Feb.
25 announcement caused the
Palestinian delegation to
stiffen their stance in the
Middle East peace talks.
"Now they are saying they
are only prepared to
negotiate with Israel on two
issues: stopping settlement
of the occupied territories
and so-called human rights
violations there," Dr. Ben-
Gad said. "Israel said all
along that if Arabs believed
the United States was on
their side, they would
become more intransigent
than ever."
"Israel still says that no
one has the right to dictate
its policy," he said. "We'll
continue the peace process,
but not according to Pales-
tinian conditions."
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.,
joins at least six senators
opposing the administra-
tion's ultimatum. Attacking
the Bush policy were Sen.
Bob Kasten Jr., R-Wis.; Sen.
Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz.;
Sen. J. Bennett Johnston,
D-La.; Sen. Arlen Specter, R-
Penn.; Sen. Frank
Lautenberg, D-N.J.; and
Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato,
R-N.Y.
Strongly supporting Mr.
Baker was the panel's
chairman, Sen. Patrick J.
Leahy, D-Vt.
In Congress, Rep. Sander
Levin, D-Mich, also express-
ed his opposition. "I was in
the Soviet Union this Rosh
Hashanah," he said, "and
it's clear to me that
thousands of Soviet Jews
still want to leave. These are
the victims of the loan guar-
antees."
Steven Victor, co-
chairman of the Michigan
chapter of the American
Israel Public Affairs Com-
mittee, isn't hopeful that
stepped-up lobbying on the
part of American Jews will
yield results. "It doesn't look
good when President Bush
gets up and makes a public
appeal that he is one person
against an onslaught of
thousands of lobbyists,
something that is every
American's democratic
right," Mr. Victor said.
But William Salaita, 38,
president of the Jordanian-
American University
Graduates Association, said
he wouldn't begrudge Israel
the loans if it were not for
the issue of continued West
Bank and Gaza Strip set-
tlements.
"On behalf of Jordanian
people, I support giving
Israel the humanitarian aid
it needs," said Mr. Salaita,
anchorman on "TV Orient,"
a local cable program. "I'm
just against Jewish set-
tlements." ❑
