A BILL
BILL HISTORY
As the internal turmoil in Israel increases due to the Palestinian Intifadah,
questions of political and ethical rights emerge. It is now more important than
ever for the American public, as Israel's main' ally, to be correctly informed of the
current situation in Israel. There are obviously many sides to the debate. The
American Movement for Israel feels that there is a lack of correct information,
and perhaps even ignorance in the campus community, to the actual background
and present status of the Arab-Israeli debate. In order for Americans to make
their own individual decisions, they need contrasting in forma t.ion. The speaker we
propose to bring will give the campus community knowledge enabling it to judge
the· debate for themselves.
Ilan Mor is an Israeli now working at the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles. His
present title is 'Consul for Current lnforamtion'. He is well qualified to speak on
the Arab-Israeli conflict as a native of Israel. He served in the Israeli Defense
Forces in Air Force Intelligence and received both a B.A. and M.A. from Tel Aviv
University. For five years he lectured at Haifa University on Israeli-Arab Affairs
and Contemporary Arab History and has been working with the Israeli government
since 1983. As a distinguished member of both the academic and international
political communities, we 'f eel he is singularly qualified to speak on this topic.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill allocates $857.30 for a representative from the Israeli Consulate to speak
on the Arab-Israeli Conflict March 22, 1989.
