Hummus wars at Princeton University Associated Press/New York Observer/Imemc - At Princeton University, a pro-Palestinian student group objects to the Hummus chickpea dip "Sabra", because its part-owner, the Israeli company Strauss, has sent gift packages to Israeli army units allegedly involved in human rights violations. Now Princeton students vote in a referendum on having other hummus brands available in university-run stores. Less politically-minded students noted that, political considerations apart, Sabra offers a bad quality hummus. 30/11/2010

Israel responded by firing over 1.3 million live bullets in one month into crowds of protesters. When ordinary people could no longer afford to risk protesting, small groups turned, in anger and despair, to armed resistance. 3/11/2010
