people who, having visited New
York, London, Paris and Athens, are
ready to become acquainted with
their Arab fellow citizens.
At the Shadi Guest House they
find that Arab hospitality really
exists, and, if they stay for a few
days, Abdullah takes them to see the
churches, mosques and archaeologi-
cal sites in the area.

In the north,
Jews and Arabs
seem to enjoy
living together,

Though he usually avoids talking
about politics, he makes it clear that
Galilee Moslems have no time for
Islamic fundamentalism, that they
want to remain part and parcel of

While most of the people who
come to his Guest House are making
their first acquaintance with Arab
life, there are Jews living in the area
who speak Arabic and have many
Arab friends. One of them is Yuval
Avido.r, a young man born in the vil-

weeks on end because he was
involved in a tribal dispute and
would probably have been murdered
had he returned to his own home."
Yuval characterizes relations
between Jews and Arabs in the
Galilee as "very good for the most

side of the so-called Green Line, and
are directly influenced by develop-

separate entities living, uneasily,
side by side. But as I see it, we are,
or should be, part of the same enti-
