tion or isolation of a whole people,
physical and/or verbal abuse of
Jewish and pro-Israel students, the
fundamental rejection of Jewish
nationalism, abuse of the legacy of
the Holocaust, legitimizing terror
against Israeli civilians, assert-
ing Jewish control of America or
the world, characterizing Jews
as imperialist warmongers and
aggressors, and the silencing of
pro-Israel speakers.
Many Jewish organizations
spend too much time debat-
ing whether there is a problem
instead of working to solve the
problem:' Weinberg says, urging
the community "not to fall victim
to wishful thinking and become
complacent!'
Calling it an "American prob-
lem," Weinberg says it is "evidence
of a deeper problem that affects
the university."
He urges universities to have
appropriate mechanisms for
student redress;' to monitor the
use of university funds and to
engage in discussion of how to
interpret and defend free speech.
He also urges parents, alumni,
trustees, taxpayers and legislators
to become more involved.
Tova Schreiber, a freshman at
Wayne State University in Detroit
and who is education director
of the campus group Students
for Israel, told the audience: "All
around me I could see evidence of
anti-Semitism on campus."
Giving examples that mirrored
several of Weinberg's points,
Schreiber said, "It's not easy being
Jewish or a pro-Israel student on
campus today. Israel is bashed
with impunity under the guise of
academic freedom."
Both Marcus and Weinberg
spoke on the Wayne State campus
the following day with sign-car-
rying protestors attending their
talk. On March 28, students met
with administrators in a closed-
door meeting held at the campus
office of Hillel of Metropolitan
Detroit.
