While Palestinian students listed the alleged crimes, members of the two groups started shouting at one another. After one Israeli sup- po-r'ls said that the war crimes being read were "all a lie," a brief scuffle broke out. Rackham student Amer Zahr, a member of the ADC, called on the crowd to be peaceful. "We're not here to compare pain for pain. We're not here to compare death for death," he said. The bombing of an Israeli school bus on the Gaza Strip yesterday increased the tension between the two groups. "It's a little hypocritical to have a tribunal when just this morning there was a terrorist attack on an Israeli school bus," said Israel- Michigan Political Affairs Committee chairman Eric Bukstein, an LSA junior. "tudents on campus need to realize that this is a sensitive situation and there are many sides to the con- flict," he said. ADC members said they held their "war- crimes tribunal" in an attempt to educate students about the state of Israel and give a Palestinian perspective to the recent vio- lence in the Middle East. "This isn't an attack against any Jewish stu- dents but against the state of Israel and the prin- ciples of Zionism," Norah Rabiah, ADC president said. Nursing junior Elise Erickson said that there is a discrepancy between the portrayals of Israelis and Palestinians in the media. "When an Israeli dies you see pictures of the family, ... when a Palestinian dies you see a mob. We're here to fill in the gap," Nursing junior Elise Erickson, the Michigan Student Assembly's health issues chair- woman, told the crowd.

As students, faculty and staff from both schools squared off to raise the most blood for the Ameri- can Red Cross, Ohio State emerged victorious, but by only two units of blood. The Buckeyes collected 1,681 units, while the University of Michigan raised 1,679. "It's easy to procrastinate," South- eastern Michigan Region Red Cross spokeswoman Amy Neale said. "And a lot of people are going to hear that total and say 'oh man, I should have gone.~ Both schools fell short of the 1,700 unit goal but the University collected about 200 more units of blood than last year. Neale attributes the increase in donations in part to a stronger pub- licity drive for the program. In addition to posters and signs, Alpha There is no student rate, and tickets are $65 each.
