Crossing
The Line
he University of Michigan's host-
ing of what is billed as the
"Second National Student
Conference on the Palestine Solidarity
Movement" brewed up a firestorm of
controversy — and rightly so.
The Oct. 12-14 conference on the Ann
Arbor campus is sponsored by SAFE
(Students Allied for Freedom and
Equality), representing Muslim and Arab-
American groups locally and nationally.
This stated goal of the forum — "the
end of the "Israeli occupation of ... all
Arab lands" — is unarguably anti-Jewish
and inciteful.
The fallout from U-M's involvement in
such a meeting, even if university officials
clearly disassociate themselves from it
philosophically, is explored on pages 14-
15. A related editorial appears on page
29. We invite your thoughts.
Shabbat shalom!
