ENFORCING ORDER
from page 32
have joined the chorus of complaint.
Right-wing demonstrators from the
Rabin and Peres years made the same
accusations.
In 1992, Avraham Adan, then the
Police Ministry's comptroller, wrote in
a report on police brutality that Israel
Police gave its officers a "double mes-
sage" — the top brass told them
unnecessary violence is forbidden, but
middle-ranking officers tolerate it as a
sometimes necessary tactic in crime-
fighting.
b.
Menahem Amir, a professor at
Hebrew University in Jerusalem and
one of Israel's top criminologists, is
unequivocal: "Israel Police is a violent
police force," he says. He just com-
pleted a book on police brutality
around the world. The level of police
violence in Israel, he says, is similar to
that found in France, Italy and in
much of the United States.
"The Israel Police see themselves as
an army facing enemies. They have a
siege mentality," says Sergio Herzog,
who just completed a doctoral thesis
on Israeli police brutality. "Anybody
who is not a police officer is a poten-
tial enemy, a troublemaker."

STUDING CHANGE
from page 32
strike's goals yields a number of
doubts expressed by critics from the
left, right and center.
The key criticism is that tuition in
Israel's seven public universities cur-
rently runs below 52,500 a year —
possibly the best bargain in the coun-
try. With many public school pupils
going home as early as noon, with
public school fees costing parents
hundreds of dollars a year per pupil,
should university tuition now be cut
in half?
There is no tradition of "campus
life" in Israel, partly because in such a
small country, nobody "goes away" to
college. Students stay close to their
parents and old friends.
In short, they don't do crazy things,
they don't sacrifice themselves and risk
their necks for any causes. Until now.
The student strikers seem to have
won a lot of hearts, at least in part
because they are providing a glimpse
of what Israel could be like if it were a
normal" country where young people
didn't have to spend so much time
carrying guns and could pour their
energies into thinking, chanting and
singing about changing the world. El
