fired "more than one million bullets'
before any Israelis were killed in the
current crisis dating to September
2000.
Abunimah ended by defending
charges of genocide against Israel and
advocating a solution that "must take
power from the strong and give it to
the weak," calling it "a simple thing
called justice."
"Israel can't have it both ways" he
said. Either "Israel can withdraw and
set up two states for two peoples" or
"Israel can have one state for all [Jews
and Arabs]."
During their rebuttal periods, Klein
supported his previous points and
expanded on his understanding of the
history of the conflict and the region,
while Abuminah again dismissed
Klein's points as "the theory of bad-
ness" that ascribed all problems to the
Palestinians, and described Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a
"notorious war criminal."
The 400-plus people in the audi-
ence were generally well behaved,
though Abuminah's partisans cheered
him, made audible remarks during
Klein's presentations and, at one
point, began chanting against Israel.
"It was what I expected, a lot of dis-
tortions by the Arabs," said Rae
Sharfman of West Bloomfield, who
came with one of the carpools organ-
ized by ZOA supporters. "They forgot
the facts or don't want to know what
they are, and they didn't answer ques-
tions directly. All [Abuminah] wanted
to talk about was the 'occupation.'
Where are all the people screaming
against the murders [of Israelis]?"
Rick Dorfman of West Bloomfield,
co-chair of the Michigan Student
Zionists, thought the progiam suc-
ceeded though "it was not a pleasure
working with the 'other side,'" calling
their attitude toward Klein "disre-
spectful" and "obnoxious."
"There was some heated discussion
that polarized a segment of the room,
but there was some really nice dia-
logue that took place after the debate
concluded," he said. "Most of Klein's
positions were new to the campus
community, as U-M has not had a
major speaker who came from the
right in many years.
"The pro-Israel community is now
on record as being the first to reach out
to the other in attempts for dialogue.
Whether or not it is warmly received
by the other side is out of my hands."
Repeated attempts by the Jewish
News to reach the campus ADC chair-
person were unsuccessful. 0
