Analysis: Making peace, 'bottom up'.
Byline: JOSHUA BRILLIANT
MADABA, Jordan, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Well into dinner at a classy restaurant in Madaba, Jordan, the music prompted guests to dance. Palestinian and Jordanian men lined up shoulder to shoulder and rested their arms on their neighbors. Their leader held up a white napkin, and in small steps they moved past Arabs, Israelis and diplomats.
When they formed a circle, two young Israeli women joined them. One of the men lifted an Israeli woman, holding her high in his arms.
It looked as though Arab-Israeli barriers were dropping but an Israeli official doubted it.
"There was a sexual element there. All the Israeli men remained seated. If it were the Hora (an Israeli folk dance) they would have gotten up," the official said.
Gidon Bromberg, the Israeli director of Friends of the Earth Middle East that organized the trip, maintained it was, nevertheless, an icebreaker.
"It doesn't mean you become buddies ... We're not trying to create best friends. We're trying to create good neighbors," he said.
