Misrepresenting Israel

Regarding “Apartheid label fits Israel” (Thursday, April 8, 2010):

This letter is not about politics. This letter is not about a wall. This is a letter about intellectual integrity.

    I firmly agree with both of these letters!

    Daily Prince writers need to start fairly representing the opposing view in their opinion articles. These letters serve as a rebuttal that should have been built in to the original articles.

    "We all come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds"

    Nice job on both articles.

    Rivka, I understand and agree with you completely. This is one of the most heated debates and discussions. Both sides are wrong and both sides are right. Sure, we all have are biases and beliefs, but at the end of the day, both sides need to be represented fairly and equally. I wish the Prince stops publishing these kinds of articles...

    There are two types of people at Princeton: tools (who often defend positions that are clearly wrong) and people who are not tools. Gary Fox has proven that he is no exception and clearly falls into the former category.

    Ironically, I read your letter while eating some cold plastic-like scrambled eggs that were certainly not worth whatever portion of the meal plan went to them. I then wondered why I was even bothering to eat them. I realized it was because of my ever increasing hunger since I had been unable to eat one of the several variations on the theme of "cold chicken with mystery sauce" that WuCox puts out seemingly every night. Of course, we don't have it so bad. After all, I am not a starving child so I should have literally no complaint about how much money I spend for the terrible food I receive in exchange.

    As I poured over your arrogant and self-righteous letter, I felt that perhaps you and I had something in common besides our shared diversity in coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds (whatever that means). Indeed, perhaps you were a troll, a brother in arms.

    Unfortunately, that was no more than a transient hunger induced delusion. You are a tool who ought to be called out for subsidizing and praising mediocrity merely because it is better than the worst possible outcome.

    Wait, I thought we solved the Israel-Palestine issue in the comment section of the last article? Did we not?

    If you're sick of the food at WuCox, maybe you should get your ass to one of the other three dining halls. Heck, if you're that desperate for gourmet fare you could even trek out to the Grad College instead of bashing on someone who's trying to make pompous, ungrateful douchebags like you see how good we have it here.
