U-M Jewish Students
Protest Scud Attacks

D

uring the past week,
life on University of
Michigan's campus
has been far from normal.
The mood on campus is more
somber, and discussions are
peppered with words like
"Scud," "Kuwait," and "Hus-
sein."
Says U-M senior Jennifer
Knoll, "I don't know anyone
who has left their TV since
Wednesday night. Tuesday
night people went out and at
midnight left the bars!'
Ms. Knoll, a Southfield resi-
dent, notes that she has been
"glued" to the TV set since
the deadline passed for Iraq to
withdraw from Kuait.
She says, "I want to know if
something happens to the
American troops or to Israel!'
Ms. Knoll is chairperson of
the campus American Zionist
Youth Foundation. She was
one of the 14 student leaders
from U-M Hillel Foundation
that organized a show of sup-
port for Israel after the coun-
try was thrust into the Per-
sian Gulf conflict last
Thursday.
Friday afternoon, close to
500 students spilled into the
U-M Diag in a show of
solidarity. Students joining in
the 20-minute rally included
members of leftist Jewish
groups as well as the more
mainstream and conserva-
tive.
Israeli flags flew above the
crowd as the students sang
"Oseh Shalom;' the prayer for
peace, and the Israeli na-
tional anthem, "Hatikvah."
"All the groups agreed on
the rally because we all agree
on the right for Israel to ex-
ist," Ms. Knoll says. "The
Thursday attack against
Israel was horrible. Saddam
Hussein went for the popula-
tion centers; he went where
civilians live. It was an anti-
Semitic move!'
She adds, "The rally was
not pro-invasion or anti-war.
The people who attended
were saying that we weren't
going to take the attack
against Israel passively."
During the singing and
speeches, a few groups of
Jewish students stood at the
back, clearly uncomfortable
with the pro-Israel fervor that
had erupted on the Diag.
U-M junior Debbie Rosens-
tein held a small sign during
the rally that read "Jewish
Women for Peace!'
David Glaser attended the

rally because it was partly
sponsored by the Jewish Law
Student Union, of which he is
a member.
"I came here to express
solidarity for a country under
an unsolicited attack. Attacks
on civilian populations are
unusual. A lot of people here
have friends or relatives in
Israel," he says.
U-M junior Anna Bulkin,
who is Jewish, protested the
rally. "I felt the organizations
that sponsored the rally are
very pro-Israel and anti-
Palestinian," she says.
Ms. Bulkin was one of 15
students who distributed
leaflets during the rally call-
ing for peace in the Middle
East. The leaflets asked why
the missile attacks on Tel
Aviv should outshadow
decades of assault on Palesti-
nians. Leaflets also criticized
the United States govern-
ment for disregarding the
lives of Iraq's non-combatant
citizens.
"I felt scared to be in the
crowd because I was handing

out stuff most people didn't
agree with:' Ms. Bulkin says.
Ms. Bulkin's grandfather
lives north of rfel Aviv and her
stepmother is currently
visiting relatives in Tel Aviv.
"It is difficult when you
have family there. I feel so
caught up in what is going
on," Ms. Bulkin says.
"It would be best for Israel
not to enter the war. But I
don't think that is realistic. I
hope that for the people of
Israel and for the Palesti-
nians that live in Israel that
the war doesn't affect them so
strongly."
Students gathered again at
the Diag at 11 p.m. Saturday
after the second missile at-
tack on Tel Aviv.
Steve Susswein is an
organizer of the rallies. He
says he left the anti-war
movement, Students Against
U.S. Intervention in the Mid-
dle East. "The more I thought
about it, the more ambiguous
I was. Now that Israel has
been attacked, I support their
actions. I feel that Saddam
Hussein has to be removed.
"It has been proven that he
is a menace and the U.S. has
to stand up for its democratic
ally in the Middle East:' Mr.
Susswein says. ❑
