Anti-Semitism Charged to Student Group
MILWAUKEE (JTA) ---
The Student Association
and Student Association
Senate at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee
(UWM) is considering
whether to withdraw its al-
location to the school's
Black Student Union be-
cause of anti-Semitic letters
published in the union's
newspaper, Invictus, ac-

Jewish Chronicle.

Senate has the power to re-
scind the allocation which
was $10,433 to the Black
Student Union for the
1979-1980 school year. Of
this ,amount nearly $6,000
went to Invictus.
The incident began when
Invictus published in its
first edition of the school
year a letter carrying the
byline Kwaku Bendeleh,
who the Chronicle said is
John Mitchell, president of
the Black Student Union.
Although it was a let-
ter, it was featured as an
article with the byline on
top. The letter said such
things as ”A Zionist is
anyone that supports the
creation and mainte-
nance of the state of Is-
rael ... Judaism is a reli-
gion practiced by many
races of people. Jews are
not a nation. They have
no claim to any land,
anywhere in the world.
Anti-Zionism is not
synonymous with anti-
Semitism."
The next issue contained
two letters criticizing
Mitchell for using anti-

Zionism. Both letters were
written by anti-Zionists
who claimed anti-Zionism
and anti-Semitism are not
the same thing.
The Chronicle said that
Moshe Ben-David, Israel's
community and student
shaliakh here, wrote a re-
buttal to Mitchell's article
explaining the facts about
Zionism but the newspaper
refused to run it.
