On day two, a messenger suddenly inter- rupts a high-level committee meeting to bring you an urgent dispatch from your government. You learn that a faction of the Palestinian National Council has claimed respon- sibility for the downing of an El AL 747 carrying 165 Soviet Jewish passengers to Israel. You are instructed to sup- port the action. You are told to defend it as a consequence brought on by the continued occupation of a homeland denied the Palestinian peo- ple. Now say you are a couple of 17-year-old Jewish students from Roeper High School in Bloomfield Hills. You defend your "country," Palestine, and do it so well you are named one of three outstanding delegations at the conference. "I was raised to believe the Israelis are right and the Pa- lestinians are wrong," said Jennifer Gilman, one-half of Roeper's award-winning delegation. "Now, for the first time, I had to be the other side." Since 1988, Roeper students have taken part in the Model United Nations run by students and faculty at the University of Chicago (MUNUC). Student delega- tions have traveled to Chicago and other cities to represent such nations as Cuba, Libya, South Africa, the United States, even Israel. The conference simulates 12 committees and related organizations of the U.N., including the Security Council, Conference of Dis- armament, International Atomic Energy Agency, United Nations Develop- ment Program, United Nations Environment Pro- gram, Conference on Securi- ty and Cooperation in Europe, and the League of Arab States. The first MUNUC simulated five of the main General Assembly Com- mittees of the United Nations — political and security; special political, economic and financial; legal, social, humanitarian and cultural. The conference draws approximately 1,400 students representing 71 high schools in 18 states. This year, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, 19 Roeper students — nearly half of them Jewish — were assigned Palestine. They traveled to Chicago's Palmer House where the conference was held. A stu- dent delegation from southern Georgia repre- sented Israel. "I talked to my rabbi about it," said Anthony Scaglione of Southfield, who shared the distinguished delegation award with Jennifer. "I was unsure if it was morally wrong. He said I could try to lose the debate, but I couldn't do that. Once I got there, I worried about changing people's opinions, but then I got into playing the game. I still don't know "I was raised to believe the Israelis are right and the Palestinians are wrong." Jennifer Gilman how we ended up doing so well." Anthony and Jennifer, seniors at Roeper, repre- sented Palestine's General Assembly Plenary Com- mittee. They debated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "We were granted country status even though we weren't an official country," Anthony explained. "In real life, the Palestinians have observer status but no vote in the U.N. except in the Arab League." Anthony had to frequently defend Palestine's country status. "I said that we were not the PLO (the Palestine Liberation Organization), but that we were a nation without a country." Kamal Bennoune, 16, an Algerian American student at Roeper, said his team's Jewish delegates did a good job representing the Pales- tinian point of view. Kamal, who lives in Berkley, was raised to be pro-Palestinian. "I thought they repre- sented them really well," he said. Jennifer was scared at how convincing she sounded. "There were times I had to sit back," she said. "I didn't know how I could be so con- vincing on an issue I dis- agreed with so much."
