ZOA national president rips
Arafat in addressing local supporters.

orton Klein found an
agreeable crowd of
roughly 45 fellow
Zionists awaiting his
morning speech Oct. 15 at the
Zionist Organization of America's
Southfield office. The ZOA national
president spoke on Israel and the fail-
ings of the peace process for nearly an
hour before taking questions.
Regarding ongoing
Mideast peace negoti-
ations, Klein
reviewed the many
failures he saw with
the Palestinian
Authority, which he
said had not imple-
mented any of the
major requirements
for Israeli security.
The undeniable
truth, he contended,
is that PA leader
Yasser Arafat "is not
serious about peace."
During the open
discussion, the only
voiced criticism of
Klein and his organi-
zation came from a
man who contended
that the ZOA was too
lenient toward the
Palestinians. He
claimed the ZOA
wasn't being forceful enough in oppos-
ing concessions that would give up
Judea, Samaria or the Golan Heights.
Rejecting that claim, Klein
responded: "First of all, the ZOA is
against the foundation of a Palestinian
state; we think it's dangerous."
After the discussion became bois-
terous, Klein implored the audience
to let each person speak in turn. "If
the issue is security," he said, "then
we should take the entire Jewish pop-
ulation and move them to Minnesota.
That's where we'd be safest." Then he
noted the absurdity of this notion.
"The issue is not security. The issue

is that this is a holy land to us."
The mood lightened when ZOA
Michigan Region President Jerome S.
Kaufman announced that Klein was
celebrating a birthday. Amid debate
still continuing among a few in the
audience, an impromptu chorus broke
out of "Happy Birthday" in Hebrew.
A woman told Klein and the audi-
ence of her recent trip to Israel, where
she'd found a people divided in ideol-
ogy and political outlook. "What can
be done to bring all the Jews togeth-

"I think
too many
of us have
gotten
away from
our roots
and away
from our
Torah."

er?" she asked. "A miracle!" a man
exclaimed, to the laughter of several
listeners.
One solution, Klein proposed,
would be to strengthen the sense of
religion he saw as lacking in the lives
of many Jews. "I think too many of
us have gotten away from our roots
and away from our Torah," he said.
Klein said he was not optimistic,
overall, for Israel's immediate future.
But this, he noted, was not a long-
term prognosis. Toward the end of his
remarks, Klein reminded the audience
that "we are an eternal people," and
that his Jewish beliefs compel him to
believe in an eternal Israel as well. ❑
