...light of Glen Schwaber's letter to the editor (April 11), the Society of Arab Students (SAS) would like to clarify our ongoing attempts to present the Palestinian perpective of the current uprising against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip...
...regret that Mr. Schwaber has decided to view our campaign as "Anti-Israel." Our focus has been against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, not against Israel's existence as Mr. Schwaber implies.

...they have been shooed away from refugee camps and villages by soldiers waving pieces of paper that said CLOSED MILITARY ZONE. Photographers and television cameramen especially have been subjected to a campaign of intimidation. On Jan. 27, members of a CBS television crew were attacked by troops in the Gaza Strip after they filmed soldiers beating a Palestinian youth. On Feb. 5, two foreign photographers driving in the West Bank were startled by a senior I.D.F. officer pointing an automatic weapon at them and shouting, "Stop! Stop! I am going to kill you!" Cameras have been smashed and film confiscated...
