GLOSSMOM OLDSMOBILE Oldsmobile. Never. Because American Jews understand these problems and have the same concerns that I have. "I've almost never had even a hos- tile question — in other words, a question asked rudely. I mean, it's happened once or twice, literally, in six years. I see that American Jews, when you simply point out the facts, are very sensible and understand that this is not what any of us want. In other words, it doesn't matter whether you're right wing, left wing, or centrist." How do you define peaceful coexistence between these parties, and how do these sides rely on each other? "Rely on each other? You act like there's a moral equivalence here. What do you mean, rely on each other? The ball is in Arafat's court." What do you see as the differ- ence between speaking in Israel and speaking here in the United States? "In Israel, in six years I've given five talks. So I don't have any extensive experience there. I have to say, in Israel, I have a similar response of deep concern about Arafat's behavior. Even there [Israel], the clear majority still believes that Arafat wants to destroy Israel. So the Israelis, not quite to the extent of the American Jews, are deeply disap- pointed in Arafat's behavior and wish his behavior would change." But is this to say that Israeli audiences have similar levels of knowledge and intelligence about the issue as do Americans? "I would say I don't know the Israelis well enough to give a valu- able judgment. But I will say this: We Jews have not done a very good job of combating the lies they [Arabs] say about Israel and Jerusalem. And we have to do a bet- ter job of that." — Next week: A conversation with Rashid Khalidi, a scholar and prominent Arab American historian, who also is coming to speak locally. Morton Klein will speak at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 15, in the audi- torium of the ZOA offices, 17100 W. 10 Mile Road, Southfield.
