Speaker says rights violated
Bv Mark McHuah
Kansan staff writer
Deborah Gerner, associate professor of political science, speaks about human rights in the Middle East at yesterday's ECM University Forum.
Human rights are supported by the United Nations and Amnesty International, but in some places, infringement of these rights is a common occurrence, a speaker said yesterday.
Gretchen Pippenger/KANSAN
in the first University Forum of 1990, Deborah Gerner, associate professor of political science, discussed human rights violations from the Palestinian uprising in the Middle East.
She said that according to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, a long-term military occupation was a human rights violation.
Gerner said that arbitrary arrest had been imposed in the region, as had demolition of housing without trial, curfews and sieges of refugee camps or villages, and land and water confiscation.
She said that the same human rights violations had been occurring since 1967 and, until recently, those were denied by the United States.
Throughout this time, Palestinian nationalism has not dissipated.
"I think Israelis are beginning to recognize this, just as Palestinians have begun to recognize that Israel is the same country that she said to an audience of about 70.
Gerner said that although the Palestinians declared themselves a state in November 1988 and that this state was recognized by more than 100 countries, there were realities people had to accept.
She said there were relatively few religious restrictions imposed on those remaining Palestinians, but
there were many restrictions and little contact between Israelis and Palestinians
Daveen Litwin, director of Hillet, a campus Jewish organization, attended the forum and said the United States would benefit from keeping ties with Israel.
"Politically, one can have all kinds
of problems with a government, but nonetheless, they are a country that has a lot to offer the world," she said.
Litwin said the forum was too short to discuss the situations leading up to the problem in the Middle East.
"It's very difficult to discuss the entire history of the situation in such
a short period of time," she said
"For example, Dr. Gerner did not mention that the Palestinians rejected the state that was offered to them by the United Nations in 1947. And since that time, the Palestinians and all Arabs, except for Egypt, have been in a declared state of war with the state of Israel," Litwin said.

Kansas representatives support veto override
WASHINGTON — Kansas in the house joined with a looped majority in voting Wednesday to override President Bush's veto of legislation to permit Chinese students to remain in the United States after their visas expire.
However, Kansas senators indicated they would back the president.
The Associated Press
All five Kansas congressmen supported the override, which was approved 390 to 25 in the House and sent to the Senate.
Both Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan, and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan, made it clear they will support the president and vote against the override attempt expected to come up on Thursday.
Kassebaum said in a statement that she was satisfied that Chinese
"What concerns me is the fate of students still in China who may, in the future, wish to study in the United States," said Kassebaum. "If the president's veto is overridden and the bill becomes law, the likely result will be that the Chinese government will forbid those students from coming to this country."
students were adequately protected by presidential orders requiring government agencies to adopt what Bush contends are essentially the same safeguards as the legislation.
