They Hate Nazi Israel, also!
El Paredon
We, the undersigned are appalled by the human rights abuses against
Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government, the continual military
occupation and colonization of Palestinian territory by Israeli armed forces
and settlers, and the forcible eviction from and demolition of Palestinian
homes, towns and cities. We find the recent attacks on Israeli citizens
unacceptable and abhorrent. But these should not and do not negate the human
rights of the Palestinians.
As members of the MIT and Harvard University communities, we believe that
our universities ought to use their influence - political and financial - to
encourage the United States government and the government of Israel to
respect the human rights of the Palestinians. We therefore call on the US
government to make military aid and arms sales to Israel conditional on
immediate initiation and rapid progress in implementing the conditions
listed below. We also call on MIT and Harvard to divest from Israel, and
from US companies that sell arms to Israel, until these conditions are met:
Israel is in compliance with United Nations Resolution 242 which notes the
inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war, and which calls for
withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from occupied territories.
Israel is in compliance with the United Nations Committee Against Torture
2001 Report which recommends that Israel's use of legal torture be ended.
In compliance with the Fourth Geneva Convention ("The occupying power shall
not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into territories
it occupies"; Article 49, paragraph 6), Israel ceases building new
settlements, and vacates existing settlements, in the Occupied Territories.
Israel acknowledges in principle the applicability of United Nations
Resolution 194 with respect to the rights of refugees, and accepts that
refugees should either be allowed to return to their former lands or else be
compensated for their losses, as agreed by the Palestinians and Israelis in
bilateral negotiations.

PARIS - A schoolteacher from Langley, B.C., has been inducted as a member of
the Legion d'Honneur. The award, which is equivalent to a British
knighthood, is France's highest honour.
Mohamed Chelali
Mohamed Chelali was one of three people who stopped a man attempting to
assassinate French President Jacques Chirac on Bastille Day last year.
FROM JULY 14, 2002: Chirac unharmed after man opens fire during parade
Chelali is a humble man, but to Chirac he is a hero. Now he has been
recognized for his bravery.
Chelali was in a crowd of thousands watching the Bastille Day parade on the
Champs Elysees when he saw a man fire a gun at Chirac's passing car.
Along with three other men he tackled the man and wrestled the gun away from
him.
It wasn't until later that Chelali realized the danger he was in.
"You know there were snipers all over the Champs Elysees and they saw a
person like me with a gun, and sometimes when I think I said 'Whoa, I might
be mistaken for the perpetrator,' not the one who's taken the gun from the
guy."
Chelali was with his family on July 14 and his 15-year-old son Tarik
remembers hearing a shot and his father pouncing on the gunman. Tarik says
his father deserves all the recognition in the world.
"My dad being an Algerian, a North African, and having overcome a lot of
racism here in France and all over the world, it's extremely symbolic about
what happened, him saving a Frenchman and not the other way around."
French officials haven't told Chelali when he'll receive the Legion
d'Honneur medal. But since the day he helped stop an assassin's bullet he
has met face to face with both Chirac and with Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
Chelali is currently in Beirut where he is teaching high school.
He plans on returning to Canada sometime next year.

AIPAC trains student activists
By Rachel Pomerance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (JTA) -- A conference room filled with suits is nothing
unusual in this town -- except when the suits are all filled by college
students.
As part of an initiative to groom a new generation of pro-Israel activists
on campus, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee brought 240 students
to Washington for four all-expense-paid days of intense advocacy training.
When pro-Palestinian activism swept the country's college campuses after the
intifada began in September 2000, it seemed that nearly every Jewish
organization hatched plans to ``take back the campus." The different groups
often work together through a coordinating body, the Israel on Campus
Coalition, that formed last fall.
The effort appears to be working: Students say the anti-Israel forces are on
the wane on campus.
Within the Jewish community, there are ``clearly differences of opinion when
it comes to how to deal with detractors of Israel," said Daniel
Frankenstein, 21, a junior at the University of California at Berkeley,
where he leads several secular campus groups.
AIPAC doesn't advocate for any specific policy, but pounds out a simple
message about the necessity of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, he said.
AIPAC teaches students the benefits of the relationship to the United States
and shows them how to pass that message along to campus leaders.
``I knew why to advocate for Israel, but it was AIPAC that taught me how,"
said Jesse Gabriel, 21. His cufflinks shining, the suave Gabriel, Berkeley's
student body president, explained that AIPAC showed him how to engage the
``important people on campus," including student leaders.
At its first such conference this summer -- the Saban National Political
Leadership Training Seminar -- AIPAC stressed three objectives for student
activists: circulating pro-Israel petitions, bringing a member of Congress
to campus and holding Israel forums.
At the second Saban conference this weekend, AIPAC added three more
objectives: having campus activists visit Congressional district offices,
convincing campus newspapers to write pro-Israel editorials and getting
faith-based groups on campus to issue statements of solidarity with Israel.
The conferences are a segment of the Schusterman Advocacy Institute, an
expansion of AIPAC's 20-year- old student program.
The program now focuses on 60 campuses, chosen because they have large
Jewish populations and feed Congress with future leaders. On each campus,
AIPAC works with four ``portfolioed" activists -- each with his or her own
designated tasks -- to turn Jewish leaders into pro-Israel activists.
AIPAC officials say the new initiative will continue even if Israel and the
Palestinians reach a peace agreement -- because it still will be necessary
to educate Jewish and non-Jewish students about Israel, the group says.
``This is the antidote to the apathy and an antidote to the entropy which
could erode the U.S.-Israel alliance, even if Israel's detractors weren't
hell-bent on driving a wedge between the two countries," said Jonathan
Kessler, AIPAC's leadership development director.
Workshop attendants, most of whom are ``portfolioed activists" on their
campuses, say the challenge is raising the interest level among students.
``There's more ambivalence than there is anti-Israel" sentiment on campus,
said Arielle Bernstein, 21, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania. But
a key inroad was circulating a petition of solidarity with Israel, she said.
``It was the catalyst for a dialogue" and a ``start to educate people," she
said.
Currently, 13 of the 60 campuses targeted in the initiative have published
pro-Israel petitions in their campus newspapers. In all, about 40,000
signatures have been collected, with a goal of 120,000 by AIPAC's policy
conference in late March.
AIPAC trains the activists to sway opinion by targeting campus leaders.
``AIPAC said, 'Become friends with them, meet them for coffee,' " said Toby
Osofsky, 22, a senior at the University of North Carolina, where she is the
AIPAC campus liaison.
Osofsky can interest and influence campus leaders with exclusive offers.
With AIPAC's help, Osofsky arranged a 50-person lunch with Mark Regev, a
spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, and made an opportunity for
certain guests, including the student body president, to have some private
time with Regev.
One challenge is to reach those on the left as well as on the right. But
many say that focusing on the American perspective of the U.S.-Israel
relationship can supersede politics.
``Whatever side of the aisle you're on, this is an important issue for
America," Bernstein said.
``What they're modeling for us is their national strategy," Bernstein said,
referring to AIPAC's success in securing support from both parties at the
congressional level.
``AIPAC is in the relationship-building business," the group's leadership
development deputy director, Brian Jaffee, said in a discussion of bridging
the partisan gap. ``We see friends and we see potential friends."
Meanwhile, AIPAC sees itself as part of a broader Jewish communal effort to
make campuses pro-Israel. ``Activists, not AIPACists," the group's ``campus
creed" reads.
For their part, students seem to think that Jewish organizations are doing a
good job cooperating to equip them with resources. The anti-Israel activists
are losing ground, they say.
According to Frankenstein, there is a difference between the anti-Israel
movement and the pro-Israel one. While the former are a small group of
activists, the latter is an ``entire Jewish community that has come together
and said in unison, 'We stand for Israel, we stand for a strong U.S.-Israel
relationship, we are proud to be Jewish and we stand up for what we believe
in.' "
For Frankenstein, the momentum has made a personal difference.
``I felt scared to be openly Jewish," he said, fearing a personal attack at
Berkeley -- a site of virulent anti-Israel activism, culminating in a brick
thrown through the campus Hillel last spring and the takeover of a
university building by pro-Palestinian activists.
Now the ``pervading sense is that we have taken back the campus" from
``people who hate the State of Israel and are anti-Semitic,'' Gabriel said.
The two anti-Israel protests on campus this year were puny, he said.
And Frankenstein once again feels comfortable wearing his Israeli soccer
jersey on campus. JTA END
