SAYS OPTIMIST SPEAKER
Americans Don’t Get
Side Of Palestinians
Americans haven't been
receiving the Palestinian side
of the story in the debate over
the future of the Mideast, ac~
cording to Dr. Fahed Abu-
Akel, executive director of an
Atlanta Ministry with Interna
tional Students (AMIS).
He was guest speaker at
last Friday's meeting of the
Summerville-Trion gptimist
Club. Guest of Optimist Stan
Burrage, Dr. Abu-Akel was in
troduced by Sue Spivey, ex
ecutive vice president of the
Chattooga County Chamber of
Commerce.
AMIS
Dr. Abu-Akel gave a brief
talk on his role with AMIS,
showed a filmstrip on the
historical background of the
Mideast and then responded to
questions.
Concerning his work with
AMIS, the Presbyterian
minister said it is possible for
a foreign student to spend six
years going to college in the
Atlanta area and never spend
one day in an American home.
His efforts include ‘‘linking”
those students with American
families.
A Palestinian Christian
who is now an American
citizen, Dr. Abu-Akel said he
grew up in a small village
about 35 miles northwest of
Nazareth. During the Jewish-
Palestinian war, he and his
father and brothers and sisters
had to leave home and camp in
the mountain until the violence
abated. He was 4 years old at
the time. Each time he sees a
Mideastern child running to
flee violence during a television
newscast, Dr. Abu-Akel said,
he sees himself as a child.
“THANK GOD”
““Ninety percent of the
American people don't thank
God enouglg for what we have,”
he continued. ‘‘When I became
an American citizen, it was like
being ‘born again.” "’
Americans born in this country
too often take it for granted, he
said.
If America asks Arab na
tions to accept the existence of
the modern state of Israel,
Israel also need to be asked to
recognize a Palestinian
homeland, he said. The en
vironment must be created to
get Israelis and Palestinians to
accept each other. A “win-lose”
situation is ‘‘to bomb the hell
out of them,” while a “win
win'' situation is to create ac
ceptance by both sides, he
added.
The slide program gave the
historical backgrounds to the
three major faiths of the Mid
dle East, Christianity, Islam
and Judaism. It also gointed
out that the theory of Zionism
— creation of a Jewish
homeland in the Mideast —
was developed in the 19th
century.
DISPERSED
The Jews of ancient Israel
were dispersed throughout the
world a?teer Rome festroyed
the temple in 70 AD. Since that
time, they have been
persecuted by nation after na
tion, sai(l] the 1982
Presbyterian filmstrip.
In a more recent history,
Turkey dominated the Mideast
until %Vorld War I when the
Turks allied themselves with
Germany against England and
its allies. England during that
conflict made several con
tradictory promises, including
creation of a Jewish homeland
and independence for Palestine
(now modern Israel).
When England withdrew
from Palestine on May 14,
1948, the United States
through President Truman im
mediately recognized modern
Israel, it said. An effort by the
United Nations to create
separate Jewish and Palesti
nian states in the area had fail
ed at that point.
CONFLICT
Many Palestinians were
told they should leave the area
for a week until matters were
settled, the filmstrip said. Five
Arab armies rolled into
Palestine and the Arab-Jewish
conflict of modern times began,
it indicated.
When those Palestinians
tried to return, they found that
Israel had taken over the area
and they were barred from
their homes. Dr. Abu-Akel
later likened the takeover to so
meone coming to Summerville,
slaughtering a person’s family
and banishing him to Alabama.
Hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians were driven into
refugee camps in other Arab
countries where they still
reside, the filmstrip pointed
out. Most live in tents or
shanties.
The Palestine Liberation
Or%anization (PLO) was form
ed by the Palestinians because
no one would help them, even
other Arab states, it claimed.
Jews in Israel and the
Palestinians each has a story
about claims of legitimacy, the
flimstrip show said. Among
other things, Jews say that the
state of Israel accepted Jewish

been implemented. They in
cluded ending the violence in
the area, recognizing Israel,
setting up a segaratv Plaesti
nian state and solving the
refugee problem.
Among other reasons, pro
blems in the area have been
caused by arbitrary national
boundaries in the Mideast
drawn by European countries,
use of the Mideast as a “‘pro
xy' for the U. S and the Soviet
Union, lack of U.S. contact
with Palestinian Christians, a
failure to recognize religious
diversity in the region, and the
theory that many American
churclms support annexation
of property in the area by
Israel because of prophecies in
the book of Revelation. Most
Americans see modern Israel in
a “*David vs. Goliath" context
such as that featured in Old
Testament times and involving
ancient Israel, the filmstrip
said.
After the film program, Dr.
Abu-Akel said in response to a
question that he o(fposel ter
rorism by either side. He used
an example of l?‘x;ael bombing
a Palestinian re camp or
Arab terrorists kllhgr?; cM£en.
PEACE
From 1948 to 1967, Israel
wanted peace in the region, he
assertecf and since that time,
Arabs have wanted peace.
Asked whether there was a
parallel between the situation
involving Indians in America
and the Palestinian question,
Dr. Abu-Akel said there were
some similarities because the
Indians had been mistreated.
His wife, Dr. Mary S. Zumot,
said after the meeting that
because of their small numbers,
there was no threat of
American Indians retaking
North America but that the
number of Jews and Palesti
nians in the modern nation of
[srael are almost equal.
However, she acknowledged
that, regardless of numbers,
the principles were the same.
Dr. AEu-Akel was asked
whether to the “victor belongs
the spoils’’ should hold true in
the region. He said violence
was not the answer but rather
getting Jew and Palestinian to
accept each other.
