IN OUR 46TH YEARI-DALLAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY23, 1992, TEXAS JEWISH POST
5 Dallas Doings
Big D residents, Harold
and Barbara Wexler are
interested in starting a
Dallas chapter of P’NAI
(Parents of North Ameri-
can Israelis). P’NAI is an
all-volunteer, non fund-
raising organization.
Members, in chapters all
over the USA, come from
diverse backgrounds and
all works of life. They are
bound together by a com-
mon hope and concern for
their children’s and gran-
dchildren’s future.
P’NAl’s strength lies in
local chapter leadership
and dedication to the com-
mitment of creating a
strong national organiza-
tion which will have its
respected place in the Nor-
th American-Israeli
family.
The basic purpose of
the organization is to have
a common meeting
ground for parents who
share the thrill, and at
times, the anguish of
having their children ac-
tive participants in the ex-
citing experience of build-
ing a Jewish state. If you
have children who are
Americans, living in
Israel, and are interested
in starting a Dallas chap-
ter of this worthy organi-
zation, you can cal! the
Wexlers at (214) 387-3818.

Members and staff of
the Dallas Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council
were afforded a special
treat earlier this week
following the euphoria
and success of the political
workshop held over the
weekend in collaboration
with AIPAC. Dr. Amatzia
Baram, professor of Mid-
dle East History at Haifa
University visited under
the auspices of the local
JCRC: Baram, who acted
as a CBS-TV advisor on
Iraq during the Persian
Gulf War, has had wide
experience as a lecturer
and is also presently a
staff lecturer at the Israeli
National Defense Univer-
sity.
Commenting on the
current political upheaval
confronting the Shamir
Government, Baram Wed-
nesday told the TJP that
“the Non-Religious ex-
treme right wing will com-
pete with Shamir in the
next election and Shamir
is worried about his sup-
port. Shamir believes he
can attract some support
from the Religious Right
and is making bold an-
nouncements about settle-
ments to attract support
from the Religious
Right.”
On the Peace Process,
Baram said: “The Peace
Process is going to slow
down especially if we go
through some elections.
We will find it difficult to
make concessions because
a government can not
make commitments until
there is a newly elected
government. The
negotiations that will go
on in Moscow next week
are muli-lateral and there
is no impediment. One can
expect some degree of suc-
cess. Most participators in
the Moscow Multi-Lateral
Talks will use it as a stage.
I expect useful results.”
On Loan Guarantees,
Baram concluded:
“Hopeful that the loan
guarantees won’t fail
through. I see difficulties
and limitations whether
the whole thing will pass.
It will probably be some
kind of compromise bet-
ween the Government and
the U.S.”
Baram spoke at the
staff meeting of the
Jewish Federation of
Greater Dallas Wed-
nesday. From Dallas he
heads for talks in Buffalo,
Boston and Washington,
D.C. before returning to
his post at Haifa Univer-
sity.
