"If you go out to universities and
Hillels and synagogues around the
country, you'll find they really do only
represent a fringe."
Do you find differences between
speaking here and in Israel?
"It's a lot easier to talk in Israel than
it is in the United States because
Israelis know what's going on. If I were
to sit down and say, This is the situa-
tion of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
This is the situation of Palestinians in
Jerusalem. This is the situation of
Palestinians in the West Bank,' to most
American audiences, including liberal
audiences who are Peace Now-orient-
ed, many of them would be shocked,
feel I was exaggerating, get defensive.
"If I were to say the same things to
an Israeli audience that reads [the
newspaper] Ha'aretz, they Would know
that's taken from page 1 of Ha'aretz
today, page 3 of Ha'aretz yesterday,
page 20 of Haaretz last week, and
those are the facts. Israeli audiences are
just better informed about the realities
of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and
what Palestinians are going through.
"The Israelis are in a school system
where they're told what actually hap-
pened in 1948. In the United States,
we're still reading Exodus and listening
to myths and fairy tales." Fl
