   Alex Chazen, the current student president of both AFI and Hillel, criticized the ZOA's involvement as unrepresentative. "They mostly interviewed people [for their complaint] who they heard had experienced anti-Semitism. They didn't gather a full range of what students were thinking about," he said in a phone interview. After publishing an op-ed in the school paper likening the ZOA's outside intervention with his mother's patronizing attempts to clean his room, Chazen received numerous letters and emails from other students who felt similarly frustrated, reinforcing his belief that the majority of Jewish students on campus felt alienated from the ZOA's aggressive approach.
   
   He added that things are looking up, that this year the MSU has kept its anti-Semitic speakers "behind closed doors," that meetings with SAShave been "civil," and that new tactics have enabled AFI to take control of the debate about Israel on campus.
   
   "Really," he said, "the ZOA has been put in an awkward position, where the administration knows that the Jewish students are looking forward, not backward."

   "I really think if they do the investigation the right way they will find that there is a population of students who have anti-Semitic view points and have that viewpoint in their programming," said Hillel president and third-year political science major Alex Chazen.
   ...
   Chazen and Anteaters for Israel have a much stricter view on anti-Zionism.
   
   "There is only one definition of being Anti-Zionist that is not Anti-Semitic, which would be if you are against all religious governments. All these religious-based governments, in Iran and Saudia Arabia, you have to be against these all to be anti-Zionist and not be anti-Semitic," Chazen said.
