Amid a gaggle of Israeli security guards, bustling volunteers and California Highway Patrol officers wired up to communicate with who knows whom, Rabbi Abraham Cooper runs around the first two of about 50 rows of plastic seats temporarily set up in Jerusalem\’s Cats Square.\n\n\”Bring me chairs over here,\” says Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, as he tries to move some seats to make room for one more.\n\n\”[Israeli Defense Minister] Shaul Mofaz is not going to be a happy man,\” he says aloud to no one in particular. \”See this guy over here?\” he tells his helpers, pointing to a flimsy seat that doesn\’t look big enough to hold the name on the sign: \”Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,\” \”this guy doesn\’t move.\”
