Supporters of Israel
By KYLE YORK SPENCER
Staff Writer
.-More than 100 men, women and
children stood shoulder to shoulder
yesterday in front of the Chapel Hill
Post Office singing Israeli songs and
speaking solemnly about the difficult
times Israel now faces.
-;The pro-Israeli rally, sponsored by
fhe Carolina Association For Israel
Support (CAIS), was organized to allow
Jews and non-Jews in the area to unite
in support of Israel, which has suffered
25 Iraqi SCUD missile attacks since the
onset of the Persian Gulf War 10 days
ago.
NCPA panel discusses
By WENDY BOUNDS
Assistant State and National Editor
Although Americans can immerse
themselves in 24-hour Persian Gulf
media coverage, the information pro
vided often gives the public a "ma
nipulated" view of the conflict, said a
three-member panel for the North
Carolina Press Association Friday.
"There is a lot of speculation and
elaboration (by the press) because there
is not enough hard news here," said
panelist James Leutze, chancellor of
UNC-Wilmington and a specialist on
military history.
The hard news that is reported by the
press unfortunately concentrates on
specific military tactics instead of
helping the public to see the "big picture"
through strategical analysis, Leutze said.
.Ed Yoder, a nationally syndicated
columnist who also served on the panel,
said Americans get the feeling there is

'Today we are here to proclaim a
simple truth that must not be forgotten:
that the Israelis, whatever their flaws,
are lovable and worthwhile people, and
that the destruction of them and of their
country would be a stunning tragedy for
the whole world," said Rabbi John
Friedman of the Judea Reform Con
gregation while addressing the crowd.
"In this sense all men and women of
goodwill can count themselves as sup
porters of Israel," he said.
Becca Freedman, co-president of
CAIS, said she agreed with Friedman
and added that this was a crucial time to
show American solidarity for the Israeli
something inconsequential about the
war.
"It seems there are not real people
and death involved," Yoder said. "It is
critically important for Americans to
understand that we are getting a strictly
manipulated view of the war."
Leutze said the public is manipulated
because the press is not pointing out the
sense of urgency in the war. There is a
naivete about civilian casualty, he said.
"War is not waged in cold blood ... it
is waged in hot blood," Leutze said.
"War is not fought with a scapel, it is
fought with a bludgeon."
He added that the press should not
stress target locations or the number of
tanks and Sorties.
"I think the press and public need to
be a bit more patient and not rush for
each tidbit of news," Leutze said. "The
press shouldn't be unhappy not getting
answers."

Freedman said.
Rabbi Frank Fischer of UNC and
Duke's Hillel agreed: "We're standing
here because it gives us the sense of
comradeship and togetherness in these
very difficult and trying moments."
Much of the rally focused on Israel's
commitment to peace.
After closed talks with U.S. govern
ment officials last week, Israel promised
not to retaliate against the Iraqis. This
decision has temporarily alleviated U.S.
fears that the gulf war could turn into an

Yoder said he feared the media's
competitive nature within the profession

end" is showing during war coverage.
The press continues to ignore the
magnitude and significance of the gulf
war by not emphasizing the importance
of words spoken by leaders, said panelist
William Balthrop, UNC professor of
speech, communications and debate and
a specialist on the rhetoric of war and
peace.
"I think the press failed the American
public in recent months by not follow
ing rhetorical analysis," Balthrop said.
In other ways, however, the press is
doing its job, and it will be condemned
no matter how it reports the news, he
said.
"If the media only reports good news,
it will be accused of being a mouthpiece
of the government. It will be accused of

States to lose much-needed Arab sup
port. "Missile after missile has come, but
yet our brothers and sisters of the land
of Israel have stood fast and determined
that they will be human and not animals;
that they will seek peace and not seek to
escalate the strife," Fischer said.
But decisions not to attack have left
Israel feeling helpless, according to

University and one of a few students
who remained after the rally.

UNC, agreed.

Leutze said he thinks the American
public can and wants to understand the
news, and the media needs to present it
in terms the public can understand.

stories such as what is Israel going to
do, is Iraq going to be dismembered by

spurred a short heated debate between
himself and one of the Israel supporters.
"I don't wish death or harm upon the
Israeli people at all, but their govern
ment is doing some things with the help
of my government that I and most of the
nations of the world find reprehensible.
"That all seems to have been a bit
forgotten," he said.
Despite this minor interruption, the
rally was marked by a strong sense of
respect for the Israelis.
"I watched Israel this week, and they

the heroes on the battlefield," Fischer
said.
