Art Outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We would never have expected a private briefing with a Deputy Spokesman at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Allan Ross, Director of the Jewish federation of the Quad Cities arranged it. So, this morning we met for over an hour with a forthright young man at the Ministry, who was not just a propagandist and seemed genuinely interested in our experiences in Israel, in the West Bank, and in the Quad Cities.
We had a frank and friendly exchange of views and learned some things we didn’t expect. The meeting was very useful to us in our efforts to fit the pieces together, and I’m sure Art will be including some of the items we discussed in his upcoming presentations at home. He’s doing a four-part series on the Arab-Israeli Conflict in August.
