"This was an
amazing day at
the University of
Michigan, and
for the time being, I can't
foresee any experience top-
ping it in the near future.
I woke up this morning
feeling safer and more opti-
mistic about the fate of the
Jewish people locally and in
Israel."

Organization. "It was a highly emo-
tional evening for everyone, even for
me, and I wasn't expecting it to he,"
said Shotan. "I came like a normal
person to show support, and I saw
one of the most crazy events I've
been to."
For example, he was shocked to
hear a professor call the Israeli army
"systematic killers of children" at the
same time the campus Holocaust
conference was taking place. (The
same professor also accused Israel of
the "systematic murder of babies of
pregnant women at checkpoints.")
But Shotan was most affected by
the pro-Israel presentations and turn
out. "What went on had some really,
really positive things for me as an
Israeli," said Shotan. "It was amazing
to see all that support and seeing so
many people being interested in
being pro-Israeli on campus.
'As an Israeli from north Tel Aviv,
the center of Israel, most people I
know are indifferent about the whole
Israel-Palestine issue. It was amazing to
see all these Americans who don't real-
ly owe anything to Israel to be work-
ing so hard. They met beforehand and
put a lot of time into it. It was very
well organized and very professional
and everyone spoke on a particular
issue. A lot of people came from the
sororities and fraternities in order to
help. It was very, very nice to see."
