October 25, 2005 | Headline could be misinterpreted

Dear Editor;

It would be hard to imagine a more misleading headline than "From different camps, student activists arrive at same end" (News; Tuesday, Oct. 18).

The two students described - one Jewish, one Arab - sound, in fact, as if they come from the very same political camp - those that deny the legitimacy of the Jewish people to have a state of their own. While, just like every other nation, Israel has an imperfect record when it comes to civil equality, one wonders if either student ever thought of what would result if a Jewish student attempted to enroll in any university in any of the 23 Arab states. Sadly, his or her fate would likely not be much different than that of a homosexual - immediate lynching. The Daily must do a better job of contextualizing in its reporting.
