prefer to keep their activities
quiet.
Graduate student Basil
Kiwan, treasurer of the Ann
Arbor-affiliate of the
American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee, is
a member of Salaam-Shalom.
Although members of the
group are interested in
dialogue, Jewish and Arab
participants often seem to be
speaking a different
language. Kiwan recounts an
incident when Salaam-
Shalom discussed the phrase
"Nothing can ever justify the
establishment of Israel at the
expense of the Palestinians."
The Arab students heard
the entire phrase, Kiwan
says. The Jews heard only
"Nothing can ever justify the
-establishment of Israel."
Kiwan believes many
Jewish students are in-
terested in dialogue, but are
hindered by others who label
them "self-hating Jews."

or now, at least, the
most visible members
of the Arab and Jewish
student communities in Ann
Arbor are also the most
outspoken.
And as one throws barbs,
the other becomes more rigid.
Each proffers a gallery of
nameless- but dedicated sup-
porters. Arab students
repeatedly say "many, many
Jews we know do not believe
the Daily editorials were anti-
Semitic and know Israeli
policies are racist?' Jewish
students say, "A lot of people
are behind us, many aren't
even Jewish."
Meanwhile, Arab and
Jewish students stand their
ground. Generals in a battle
of wills, they say dialogue is
a low priority.
There is an exception.
Sitting in his cluttered
apartment, Brad Kurtzberg
sets his armaments aside.
"You know," he says, "I real-
ly wish I could talk to Hilary
(Shadroui) and Dina
(Khoury)." ❑
