students are using the label
"anti-Semitism" to stifle The
Daily because it is critical of
Israel.
Israel,
of
Criticism
Shadroui says, is an extension
of the paper's general "anti-
racist policy." She believes
Zionism is racist when, as in
Israel today, it "colonizes
other people's land. You can-
not discuss colonization
without discussing racism.
They go hand-in-hand," she
says.
But Shadroui says this has
nothing to do with Judaism.
"People make a fundamen-
tal mistake in that they con-
fuse Zionism and Judaism!"
Dina Khoury, president of
the Ann Arbor chapter of the
American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee,
adds, "It seems any time
criticism of Israel is brought
up, people start saying it's
anti-Semitism. We hear con-
stant criticism of the PLO,
but we don't take it as anti-
Arab!'
Khoury says Jewish
students misunderstood the
editorials. The piece discuss-

'All of a sudden
South Africa is out
and the
Palestinians are in.
It's like the
occupation just
happened:

ing the Pan Am flight was not
anti-Semitic, or an accusation
against Israel or the Jewish
people, she says. Rather, it
was an attempt to show that
charges could be leveled
against anyone for the attack.
Usually, she says, Arabs are
immediately blamed for such
acts — even when the charges
are completely unfounded.

Dr. Amnon Rosenthal,
chairman of the board of stu-
dent publications at the
University of Michigan,
disagrees with the Arab
students' assesment of the
editorials. He says the pieces
were anti-Semitic because
they contain a kind of
"harassment and intimida-
tion that are a form of
racism!"

T

he offices of The
Michigan Daily are
located about a block
from the Student Union.
Newspapers are strewn across
the counters in the front hall
and flyers of all colors are
tacked on a large bulletin
board.
Adam Schrager, who is
Jewish, has been editor-in-
chief of the paper for the past
several months. A junior from

Evanston, Ill., he says he is a
Zionist, though that does not
mean he cannot criticize
Israel.
Schrager sensed problems
at the paper long before the
demonstration. He arranged
the panel discussion with
Kurtzberg and other Jewish
students.
Schrager was in charge -of
the paper when it published
the editorial that suggested
Israel was guilty in the Pan
Am disaster. Schrager voted
against publishing the
editorial, though he defends it
today.
Schrager and other staff
members each get one vote at
editorial board meetings.
The paper is divided into
various departments, such as
photography, sports and arts,
each of which functions
independently.
The opinion and editorial
writers, which include Jews
and Arabs, are "very radical,
almost zealots in their pur-
suit of anti-Israel and very
often anti-Semitic and anti-
Zionist policies," Dr. Rosen-
thal says. "As you read the
paper, you almost wonder if
there are other issues in the
world.
"Part of the problem is that
the students on the staff
believe the struggle for a
homeland is all right for the
Palestinians, but not for the
Jews," he says. "They have
the sense that if you are op-
pressed or discriminated
against, that gives you a
license to say or do as you
wish regardless. They have
the sense that if you're op-
pressed, you cannot be racist
yourself.

"They are pursuing
something they believe in and
they're pursuing it blindly
and they're activist in
nature," Dr. Rosenthal says.
Jewish students say they
only want the newspaper to
be more sensitive. They speak
of the time Tagar, a pro-Israel
activist group, posted a sign
reading "Stop Arab Ter-
rorism" in the Diag. Tagar
changed the sign after Arab
students filed a complaint
with the university and the
group's members decided the
sign was insensitive.
Arab students express little
affection for Tagar. One sug-
gested it's really a front for
the Jewish Defense League;
another said its members
routinely photograph
students who attend pro-Arab
events and suggested Tagar
members make threatening
phone calls to Arab activists.
What makes such com-
ments and The Daily's
editorials so acceptable today,
Jewish students suggest, is
