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.

Budrus hero calls for Abdallah Abu Rahma`s freedom | | Jesse Bacon - The Only Democracy - But Israel is sending a clear message — even unarmed resistance by ordinary civilians demanding basic rights will be crushed. It is little known that the second intifada began not with guns and suicide bombings against civilians, but rather with protest marches to Israeli military checkpoints inside the occupied West Bank, and with civil disobedience in the tradition of the US civil rights movement. 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.

Yet Foreign secretary William Hague described this as "an appalling situation" and promised to change the law so that culpable Israeli politicans and generals could walk the streets of London with impunity.
