Abstract
Soon after the Wye River Memorandum regarding the status of Hebron was approved by the Knesset by a vote of 75–19 in 1998 and signed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, I was invited to dinner at an archaeological conference with an official of the Palestinian Archaeological Authority. Having never met such a person, I was thrilled to attend. My memories of this meeting are reasonably clear, as it made a deep impression on me. From our first encounter, I sensed uneasiness from my dinner partner, who threw small verbal darts at me, looking for my response. Was it my big knitted kippah that threw him off? I decided to swallow his comments and to be uncompromisingly friendly.
