characterize as decidedly one-
sided and anti-Semitic.
The Michigan Daily has
published editorials equating
Zionism with racism and
suggesting Israeli govern-
. ment involvement in the
downing of Pan American
Airlines flight 103 over
Lockerbie, Scotland, in
December 1988.
Many Jewish students are
angered by the persistently
anti-Israel editorials.
"A lot of anti-Israel articles
have been written, said U of
M student Robin Cohen.
"And basically, that issue has
dominated the editorial page
disproportionately to other
interests going on in the
world and at the university."
Student Laura Cibul said
the newspaper encourages
anti-Semitism. "The Daily, by
espousing a particular bias-
ed viewpoint, really does a
tremendous amount of
damage. I think they're
creating a lot of potential
hatred and anti-Semitism in
people that are otherwise be-
ing neutral. They are
definitely lacking in even a
moderate point of view; it's
all very anti-Israel. It's very
frustrating and enraging."
Some Jewish students do
not object to the editorial
policy of the newspaper.
Mark Swartz, who writes
music reviews for The
Michigan Daily, believes the
newspaper is unjustly criti-
cized.
"I think people view The
Daily as this giant anti-
Zionist organization and they
think that The Daily has
some kind of vendetta
against Israel. They don't.
Critics just don't take into
consideration the arguments
the writer is trying to make."
Student rIbdd Kaluzni has
no quarrel with the editorial
position of the newspaper; he
believes "it has adequately
expressed" Jewish views. "It
doesn't really bother me
because I think they give
equal time to different
groups so they can express
their opinions."
Jewish students have writ-
ten letters to the editor in
response to the editorials.
Joseph Kohane, associate
director of the U of M B'nai
B'rith Hillel Foundation, said
most of the letters were
printed, but "many of them
were edited when promises
were given that they
wouldn't be edited. And then
there was a period when they
would not print letters of
response."
Kohanne accuses the
newspaper's editorial staff of
"wielding an ideological
club" in presenting its
editorial position. The paper,
he said, continues to neglect
its "responsibilities to be a
forum for a debate to take
place — especially on such a
sensitive issue.
"The students who run the
op-ed page are highly
ideologically motivated in-
dividuals. These students
have an a priori predisposi-
tion to an opinion on the
Middle East and they've
vented that opinion. They
didn't open that page up
to equal time to both groups.
"It was an injustice done to
the university community.
That's really the tragedy.
There was an opportunity to
present a dialogue in that
paper and they didn't do
that."
Kohane said that other
than the editorial page of the
newspaper, the atmosphere
between Jewish and Arab
students on campus is not
threatening.
"Without The Daily, the
campus is not riddled with
hatred or controversy. On a
daily level, there isn't a
charged atmosphere. It's on-
ly when that paper comes
out."
"I don't feel intimidated on
campus," said Ben Brosilow,
who is active in Tagar, a
Zionist student group.
Brosilow said that while ac-
tivists in each camp operate
behind the scenes, the ma-
jority of Jewish students are
not politically involved.
A small group of Jewish
and Palestinian students are
active in Middle East politics
on the campus. Palestinian
students have erected shan-
ties on the Diag, the central
part of campus, that list the
number of people killed dur-
ing the intifada. Across from
the shanties is a replica of a
burned bus, erected last year
