The Jewish Community Council
has arranged a community-wide
educational event with the Detroit
2 Darfur Coalition at 1 p.m. on
Sunday, April 16, at the Jewish
Community Center in Oak Park.
The Detroit 2 Darfur Coalition
was formed by Jewish leaders as a
coordinated response to the geno-
cide in Darfur, Sudan.
The event will feature Matthew
Emry, the senior program officer
for emergencies and disasters at
the American Jewish World Service
in New York.
Emry traveled throughout Africa
in March and will brief the com-
munity on the crisis in Darfur.
Event organizers plan to include
Sudanese expatriates and a screen-
ing of a video clip about the situ-
ation.
Since forming in mid-March, the
Detroit 2 Darfur Coalition has grown
to include the Jewish Federation
of Metropolitan Detroit and the
Holocaust Memorial Center.
The Coalition has begun to make
arrangements for Detroiters to join
the Rally to Stop Genocide, which
will take place at the National Mall
in Washington, D.C., on April 30.
An informational blog on
"Detroit to Darfur" may be found

may be reached at (248) 642-5393.

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge:

The quartet — the U.S., the
European Union, the United
Nations and Russia — must con-
tinue to pursue the Middle East
"road map" peace plan with the
Palestinians, despite the victory
of Hamas in the Palestinian elec-
tions.

The Answer:-

Hamas is not interested in rec-
ognition of, negotiation with
or peace between it and Israel.
Hamas' position is exemplified by
the actions of legislator Flamed
Bitawi, who, holding high a copy
of the Koran in the parliament,
shouted: The Koran is our consti-
tution, Mohammed is our prophet,
jihad [holy war] is our path and
dying for the sake of Allah is our
biggest wish." His remark drew
thunderous applause from all his
Hamas colleagues.
