effrey Goldberg, an
American-born liberal
Jew, made aliyah to Israel
in the 1980s, while still a college
student. His roman-
tic visions of the
Promised Land were
challenged by the
realities of army
service and the bru-
tality of the desert
prison where he
k'LlW
was assigned as a
` . L
:!.WG
guard. But, his basic
optimism led him
JEFFREY
to begin a dialogue
with an articulate
young Palestinian
prisoner, a relation-
ship that endures to
this day, despite the
mayhem that con-
tinues to surround their nations.
In Prisoners: A Muslim and a
Jew Across the Middle East Divide,
Goldberg fashions from this rela-
tionship a microcosm of the pos-
sibilities for tenuous understanding
between the Jews of Israel and the
Arab nationalists who surround
them.
Now Washington correspondent
for the New Yorker, Goldberg previ-
ously covered the magazine's Middle
East beat for 10 years. He also has
written for the New York Times, the
Forward, the Jerusalem Post and
other newspapers. He won a nation-
al magazine award for his reporting
on Hezbollah.
O'n Monday, Nov. 6, Goldberg will
give two presentations about his
work: a noon Lunch and Learn talk
at the Jewish Community Center
of Washtenaw County in Ann Arbor
and an 8:15 p.m. presentation at the
JCC in West Bloomfield, co-spon-
sored by Melba Winer and Maida
Frank Portnoy and family.

Q: As a self-confessed
liberal, how would you
describe your feelings
toward Israel today?
A: I think most
•."
"-,Si
American Jews have a
GOLDBERG
conflict in their hearts.
They are basically lib-
eral in their orientation.
They want freedom and
justice; they believe
that everyone deserves
a good life. But also
there's a tribal part of
your being, a strong ethnic identifi-
cation with Israel.
In the same day, you can
be immensely proud of Israel,
immensely embarrassed, then
defensive, then angry, then proud
again.
Israel is not a Utopia — it's a real
place with flawed people, like people
everywhere else. One of the most
remarkable things about Israel is its
ability to correct its own mistakes.
PRISONERS
,
You don't need to
be a star to
not written for the public. They're
written for specialists. Frankly, I was
desperate not to bore readers. Your
book can have the most meaningful
message in the world,
but it doesn't do any
good if no one reads it.
Q: Shortly after Prisoners begins,
you are taken captive in Gaza.
Then the reader is kept in sus-
pense, wondering if you will ever
escape, while your narrative goes
back some 20 years to your child-
hood.
A: Well, I'm here now, so you know
they didn't kill me.
There are a lot of good books
about the Middle East, but they are
Q: Many Jews in the United
States feel overwhelmed by the
anti-Semitism they hear coming
from the Muslim world, and, frank-
ly, they feel frightened. What's
your forecast for the future of the
Jewish people?
A: I don't want to be a sky-is-fall-
ing kind of person. I don't downplay
the role of anti-Semitism in the
Middle East, but we, as Jews, are in
a better position for survival than
we have ever been.
For the first time in history, most
Jews in the wort& are free. There
are two centers of Jewish life today
— Israel and the United States. The
United States is a totally new dies-
pore experience. Today, the great-
est danger for the survival of the
Jewish people is assimilation.
I have the Jewish fatalism most
of us have, but also the American
optimism. L7.]
