Students Ponder Aftermath
Of Michigan Daily Incident
ELIZABETH KAPLAN
Features Editor
B
radley Kurtzberg
seems anything but
the student rebel.
Like other students' apart-
ments, his is filled with bot-
tles of Mountain Dew,
notebooks with papers in
disarray and a black phone in
perpetual use.
A senior from Dix Hills in
Long Island, N.Y., Kurtzberg
is mainly concerned with
graduate school these days.
Yet Kurtzberg recently
started a revolution of sorts at
the University of Michigan.
With five other Jewish
students, Kurtzberg fought
against what he calls anti-
Semitic editorials in the stu-
dent newspaper,
The
Michigan Daily.
Among his protests, he
organized a demonstration
outside the offices of The Dai-
ly. He also helped coordinate
a meeting last week between
Jewish students and the
newspaper staff.
The protests followed a
series of editorials that
equate Zionism with racism
and accuse Israel of bringing
Ethiopian Jews to the Jewish
state to displace Palestinians.
Participants agree the talks
were positive.
Daily Editor-in-Chief Adam
Schrager says he now better
understands the issue. An up-
coming story in The Daily
will discuss the difference bet-
ween anti-Semitism and anti-
Zionism. And, Schrager says,
the paper plans to make a
distinction between Zionism
in general and practices of a
particular Israeli
administration.
The paper will continue to
be pro-Palestinian, but
Schrager says The Daily will
be more sensitive to the
issues.
Some Jewish students, like
Kurtzberg, are optimistic that
changes soon will take place
at the paper. He'll be wat-
ching carefully.
So will Laura Cibul, a
founding member of the pro-
Israel student group, Tagar: A
junior from Chicago, Cibul is
worried that the paper may
already have influenced the
university community.
Students are often isolated
from the rest of the world, she
says. "The only source of in-
formation may be that one
paper — and that's detrimen-
tal, especially when all we
learn from it is that Israel is
evil and oppressive."
Both Kurtzberg and Cibul
wonder why this is happening
at U-M and at a paper with a
largely Jewish staff. They say
it's a clear case of anti-
Semitism, and they don't
understand why everyone
doesn't see such an obvious
bias.
S
tudies by Arab student
groups show that The
Daily has been con-
sistantly pro-Palestinian for
the past several years. But it
was a November piece that
sparked Kurtzberg to action.
The editorial, written in
response to the Knesset ban
on Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach
Party, equated Zionism with
racism.
Kurtzberg discussed the
issue with several Jewish
faculty members and met
with other Jewish students
also disturbed by The Daily's
editorials. Eventually, they
formed a core group of six
students.
They met in November with
members of The Daily staff,
but Kurtzberg says the talks
were not productive.
Meanwhile, The Daily con-
tinued to run editorials that
many Jewish students found
offensive.
A Jan. 23 editorial, "Ethio-
pians Exploited," said that
"mass immigration of Ethio-
pian Jews to Israel, at this
juncture, is but a ruse disguis-
ed as humanitarianism, to
provide more occupiers of
Palestinian land."
A Daily editorial on Feb. 14
suggested Israel might be
behind the Dec. 21 explosion
aboard Pan American Flight
103. "If the Mossad (Israeli
equivalent of the CIA) or
other Israelis were indeed
responsible for the crash, the
reasons for South African
Foreign Minister, Pik Botha,
(a close Israeli ally), and a
group of Hassidic Jews
cancelling their reservations
of flight 103 at the last mo-
ment, may be understood."
The Feb. 14 editorial "went
beyond politics," Kurtzberg
says. "It was an attack on the
Jewish people."
It prompted Kuitzberg to
organize a demonstration out-
side The Daily office. He gave
speeches, hung posters and
spoke to fraternities and
sororities to encourage
participation.
He also contacted the The
New York Times. A Detroit-
based Times reporter covered
the event.
About 200 students par-
ticipated in the Feb. 21
demonstration. They carried
signs saying "Stop Jew-
Baiting" and "Daily
Editorials Slander Jews."
A number of Arab students
say the editorials are pro-
Palestinian, not anti-Semitic.
The Arabs say the
editorials have sparked much-
needed dialogue about the
Middle East. Such talks, they
add, will ultimately bring
good.
Hilary Shadroui is a
member of the Palestine
Solidarity Committee and a
writer for The Michigan Dai-
ly's opinion page. Of Lebanese
descent and rarely seen
without a kaffiyah, she is
working toward a Ph.D. in
modern Middle East history.
Shadroui says the issue is
not anti-Semitism, but free
speech. She believes Jewish
