Ann Arbor Women Demonstrate Against Israel Occupation SUSAN LUDMER-GLIEBE Special to The Jewish News L ast Friday afternoon in a cold, biting wind a small group of Ann Ar- bor women held a vigil in front of the Federal Building at Liberty and Fourth Ave. Over their layered clothes they wore black scarves and sported placards that read "Seek Peace and Pursue It (Pslam 34)," "Support the Israeli Peace Movement" and, more pointedly, "End the Oc- cupation." "We're making a public statement, as public as we know how," explained Wendy Orent, the main organizer of the demonstration. It was the first time the group, which calls itself Zionist Women Against the Occupation, demonstrated, but most pro- bably, it will not be the last. "As soon as they end the oc- cupation we'll stop," said Orent. "We are hoping that we'll be obsolete really soon," added Judith Seid. Until that happens members of ZWAO have committed themselves to demonstrate at the Federal Building on the third Friday of each month from 1 to 2 p.m. "We're not telling Israelis how to live their lives — God forbid — but they cannot ex- pect unconditional support from us about things we feel strongly about," explains Orent. "They have to come to • terms with American Jewry about things they don't always want to hear." The Zionist Women Against the Occupation was acting in concordance with, and in sup- port of, a peace group in Israel called Nashim B'Shachar. Nashim B'Shachar — the Women in Black — have been holding silent vigils every Friday afternoon in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for about the past year. "What they are trying to do is raise public consciousness, to cause people to think about the occupation and the upris- ing," explains Marcia Freed- man, former member of the Israeli Knesset and a foun- ding member of the Israeli feminist movement, who now lives in California. "There are several hundred members in each of the cities," says Freed- man. "The only commitment of the members is that people will take part in the vigils." According to Freedman, Nashim B'Shachar members include Israeli Jews and Israeli Palestinians. On any given Friday between 30 and 70 women show up in each ci- ty to continue their protest. "We're trying to send a low- keyed message; we're voicing our support for the Women in Black," explains Orent. "A lot of people don't understand that you can be a committed Zionist and against the oc- cupation," adds Seid. "I feel that as a Zionist I can beter understand the Palestinians' desire for a homeland than if I wasn't," said Ruth Kraut. The idea for having an Ann Arbor group grew out of a re- cent trip Orent made to Israel. "I saw them (the Women in Black) from my hotel room in Jerusalem," recalls Orent. "They got a lot of angry attention," she says. "People called them whores, communists, crazy people. People spit at them." Orent spoke to the women and was taken by their quiet resolu- tion, she said. When she returned to Ann Arbor, she talked to some friends about her experience. "We decided we would get something going?' Orent wasn't the only American Jew to take note of the Women in Black. "We're called the Jewish Women's Committee to End the Oc- cupation, and we're in solidarity with them," says Irena Klepfisz, from her home in Brooklyn, N.Y. "We stand vigil at 515 Park Ave. which houses a lot of Jewish organizations." Unlike the Israelis, the New York group, which holds its demonstra- tions every Monday, doesn't remain silent. "We engage in dialogue," says Klepfisz, who adds that though they've got- ten hostile responses from in- dividuals, people have gotten used to them. Besides New York, there are similar groups holding vigils in San Fran-
