from Dearborn were expected brought
the pro-Israel organizers and about
two dozen others to the busy West
Bloomfield intersection 45 minutes
before the demonstration officially
began at 4:30 p.m. By 5 p.m., the pro-

will win because there are prophetic
verses that say Jerusalem will be at the
center of the world:'
Clinton says people don't know what
is really going on and he blames the
news media. "The problem we see is the
news media are slanted so people who
learn from them don't get the facts
Irving Ginsberg of Farmington Hills
says his government job, from which
he recently retired, prevented him
from going public with his support of
Israel. But on June 8, he arrived early
for the demonstration and waved
Israeli and American flags.
"I see the United Nations hasn't

administration has been slow to act in
