Palestinian youth trained to disregard Israel’s Nonviolent protesters in Middle East existence, media expert says during lecture cage selves to protest Israel, speaker says BUSI: From Page 3
“Therefore it affects Israel and the peace progress trying to be made.” Marcus said Palestinian children are taught to disregard Israel’s existence. He said Palestinian children are shown maps of Palestine where Israel’s borders do not exist. “If it could be taught that Israel is there and that children can recognize Israel as a neighbor, it would help to reinforce in children that there are people to be working with for peace in the region,” he said. “There is no way to make peace with a neighbor if you can’t even recognize that they are there.” Marcus said he is concerned with the censorship of state-run media, which does not allow opposition to
be heard. “Amongst the Palestinian population, there are many people who don’t want to go along with this, but they’re not given the publicity,” Marcus said. “They’re not given the mouthpiece or allowed to voice their opinions.” DuShey said she is optimistic about the future between Israel and Palestine. “I do believe there is hope, and I don’t believe in any way it is the fault of the Palestinians that they are being fed these images,” Dushey said. “A productive society is questioning the media and government and really seeing the other side, which they don’t get the chance to do.” Chehayeb, a College of Arts and
Sciences senior, said he does not support Marcus’s message. “This sort of rhetoric is actually the ultimate obstacle to peace and coexistence between the Palestinians and Israelis regardless of whatever settlement is made,” he said. Marcus said his organization aims to foster peace between Israel and Palestine. “We’ve reached out and presented our findings to the U.S. Congress and to members of Parliament in numerous countries, including the European Union, Britain, France, Norway and many more,” he said. “With the backing of these powers and foreign aid, we hope to start a more concrete path towards peace with Palestine.”
Music librarian concerned about how much Boston Music Trail’s will recognize classical music in city Music: From Page 3
many other clubs, Sandler said. Jay Anderson, marketing and public relations coordinator for The House of Blues, would not comment on the trail as the site has yet to be made official. Funding for the trail comes from the Music Drives Us Foundation, a New England nonprofit that supplies grants for music programs. “This is a project that came to Music Drives us over four years ago, and we are honored to be a part of it,” said Music Drives Us Executive Director Carla Tardif. The public can propose additional commemorative locations on
MMONE’s website. Kristine Sessa, the Boston University School of Music Curriculum librarian, said there were many potential sites for the trail, including Symphony Hall and the Hatch Memorial Shell. She expressed concern about how well the trail would commemorate the classical music scene that exists throughout the Hub. “If anything, I’ve witnessed a great decline in the classical music scene,” she said. “Hopefully, with proper guidance, the trail will represent the entire music scene in Boston, which is quite diverse.” The MMONE has worked closely with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino’s Office of Arts, Tourism &
Special Events to best prepare for the tourist aspect of this trail, Sandler said. “The city has the same vision we do,” he said. “We are meeting again next week to discuss the tourism aspect. We want to make sure we have a concentrated effort.” Sandler said the Boston Music Trail is necessary to commemorate Boston history. “There are tons of places in this city where there is an important musical history,” he said. “We have the Freedom Trail to honor that part of Boston history, and now we have the music trail to showcase Boston’s musical history. This trail is equally important in its own way.”

protests and how the group makes noise, the movie played stories and experiences during the struggle. Kristen Martin, a CAS senior and SJP member, said Burnat’s talk was motivational. “I am walking away with inspiration to continue the struggle,” Martin said. “It gives me a lot of motivation and hope, which we don’t get that a lot in this movement.”
However, Sarah Close, a CAS junior and political programmer of the BU Students for Israel, said the wall has made Israel safer and reduced terrorist violence. “Not saying the people are terrorists, but the fence has done an incredible job reducing terrorist attacks and movements of terror into Israel,” Close said. “This is not in any way representative of what is occurring in the entire state.”

man’s statistics makes us look worse than if our percentage of students within their top 10-percent high school percentile is only 58 percent rather than 78 percent,” said Danielle Catalan, a sophomore at GWU. If this error happened at BU,
some students said they would be disappointed at the university. “I would be disappointed because you rely on the university to give you accurate knowledge,” Jhawar said. “I feel like it is unfair because this would give BU a name it does not deserve.”
