Don't be just another Student I.D. Number. By Adam Schrager "If you leave here with more question marks than exclamation points, then your trip will have been worthwhile." Simcha Dinitz, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States dur- ing the time of Camp David, issued this statement to me this past sum- mer when I asked him what he wanted me to take from my trip to Israel. I was in Israel for my first time, one of 15 college editors from around the country, on a study tour sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. The goal of the tour, according to ADL Jerusalem Director Harry Wall, was for our group to "get a better under- standing of the current Israeli situa- tion and to have an open mind." As a skeptic and a cynic, I not only fit into the group very well, but I also openly questioned the mo- tives and reasons of the pro-Israel organization for bringing me there. The things Wall told us had me thinking that from my previous ex- periences, not only would I not un- derstand the situation but I would have already prejudged the issue. Slowly but surely, as the trip progressed, my skepticism wancd. I became assured that the tour, whic included many speakers and your not-so-normal tour stops, was a le- gitimate attempt to give us both sides of a volatile issue. We spoke with Israeli govern- ment leaders, defense spokespeople and soldiers, as well as Palestinian journalists, an Arab K'nesset mem- ber and inhabitants of a Palestinian refugee camp. Because the tour was co-sponsored by The Jerusalem Post, the only Israeli daily paper published in English, and we were all journal- ists, a good amount of time was spent with fellow writers, be they Is- raeli, foreign or Palestinian. Everybody had an opinion on what to do about the Intifada. Some were more open in their discussions, while others sat passively back and dropped hints as to their truetfeel- ings. What nobody disagreed about was that something had to be done about the uprising, which is now more than 22 months old. This one issue has caused im- mense turmoil in a country about the size of New Jersey, and has earned front-page headlines around the world. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in what is com- monly known as the Occupied Terri- tories, the Palestinian press is regu- larly suppressed and the conditions in the Palestinian refugee camps are hardly exquisite. So with all this information, a solution seems easy: the Israelis should leave the territories alone and allow the Palestinians to govern themselves. But it is not that sim- ple. Many Israelis pointed out to me that neighboring Jordan is 75 percent Palestinian, and seven of its 12 Cab- inet members are Palestinian. In essence, they said, the Palestinians already have their own homeland. When the British set up Palestine and Trans-Jordan following the First World War, Trans-Jordan was estab- lished for the Palestinian people, ac- cording to Dr. Yacov Goldberg, a professor at the Dayan Center in Tel Aviv University. With so many different is- sues underlying the situ- ation, is there a right and wrong? Certain Israeli soldiers remarked that there are other Arabs who have become an accepted part of Israeli society, such as the Druze and the Bedoins. In fact, the some Druze even serve in the Israeli army. "There are other Arabs that live peacefully within our society," said one soldier, who had served for three months in the Occupied Territories. "Why can't the Palestinians start thinking like the Druze and Bedouins, and become incorporated into our society?" But the Palestinians feel it is not Israeli society, but theirs. "We have been hijacked since 1967," said Saieb Brekat, a political scientist and one of the 1 board members of the Palestinian Writers' Association. "There are 1.7 million people living under oppressive rule, on what is legitimately their home- land." In the disputed areas, there are re- ligious cities and towns that are shut off not only to Israelis, but to any- one who isn't Palestinian. We were not allowed to go to Beersheba or parts of Bethlehem, due to the vio- lence that has occurred there. The Israeli Defense Force reports that the Palestinians are being killed by fellow Palestinians who accuse them of being Israeli government collaborators. Palestinians claim Is- raeli troops are killing its youth and innocent people. A discussion of Israel would not be complete without mentioning how deep the roots of the Holocaust still are in that society and how afraid Jews, in particular, are of something like that happening again. That fear is heightened by Is- rael's neighbors whose only com- mon interest, it appears, is to de- stroy the only democracy in the area. With so many different issues underlying the situation, is there a right and wrong? Are you confused? Good, then the point was made.E CINM IET Y Members of Operation Rescue are carried away from Ann Arbor Planned Parenthood last spring. The U of M can be a large, im- personal place for some stu- dents. However, over the past four years we have made friends that we have cared for, partyed with, and are about to leave for the last time, who would love to have a lasting picture of us to keep forever... A picture to look back upon and laugh and cry and reminisce on the days of maize and blue. created myth. "We've always been mobilized," Myers said, "We have a strong grassroots movement on our side." Listing added that Right to Life tends to concentrate more on educat- ing and organizing people at the lo- cal level, so their activities have not received as much media attention. In Ann Arbor F rom appearances on campus, the pro-choice movement has gained strength from many people - especially young women - who have never been politically active before, and have thrown themselves into this issue with a fervor. The Ann Arbor Committee to Defend Abortion Rights' member- ship has swollen to over 200 since the Webster decision. The committee was formed last January to counter Operation Rescue's attempts to shut down abortion clinics, but has since expanded its activities to education projects. AACDAR, as well as local chap- ters of Planned Parenthood and the National Organization for Women, have designated next week as Reproductive Rights Week, and have organized panels and workshops on campus. The College Democrats have also been active in the pro-choice move- ment. Students in College Democrats for Choice have been working with Planned Parenthood and will be lobbying in Lansing against proposed anti-abortion legis- lation. Despite the fact that College Democrats have taken an active pro- choice stand both nationally and on campus, abortion isrno longer an is- sue split along party lines. Doug Morris, chair of College Republicans, said while most of his group tends to be against abortion, the group does not take an official stance on the issue. The activities of those who op- pose abortion on campus have been much more subtle than the consider- able noise the pro-choice groups have been making. The most dra- matic anti-abortion activities have been the area abortion clinic protests staged by Operation Rescue, which, although not a student group, in- cludes some students. Students For Life, a Right to Life branch on campus, has not yet planned any activities this year. LSA senior and Students for Life member Ann Evangelista said the group had Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, I guess. TheMichiganTDaily, as you might know, sells T-shirts every year; they're plain and boring and don't turn much of a profit. But maybe if we dropped that dull motto, "Ninety-nine years of editorial free- dom"... "The Michigan Daily: We promise not to come off on your hands." Hmm. It just might work.E evok the sc Altl noval also write else i casio ing, o forcer Coun In Cc case recently organized a march protesting the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, in which about 50 students participated. Evangelista said that while she believes "abortion is murder" and most of the people she speaks with take an anti-abortion stance, the ma- jority of Americans are pro-choice. However, she feels that people need to be more aware of their options, and that there are other alternatives to abortion, such as adoption. She added that many women who decide to have abortions are scared and feel it is the only alternative they have. These women need to know about financial and emotional support that is available, she said. While Students for Life does not endorse Operation Rescue's activi- ties, Evangelista said, there are members who are involved in both groups.
