E-PrinceYou are being deceived. A thin veil (of hummus) is being pulled over your eyes. You are being told that by purchasing Sabra hummus, you are propagating the violation of human rights — that by purchasing Sabra hummus, you are enabling ...(back to the article)

As a supporter of a Sabra boycott, I have mixed feelings about this article. On one hand, I'm depressed that the Prince would give only one side of this debate its own op-ed to defend its position. On the other hand, this piece is so condescending and obnoxious that I'm delighted the Prince ran it since it makes the anti-boycott side seem so off-putting.
Yeah.... The anti-boycott side is the off-putting one... Go ahead believing that. I'm sure it seems that way to the boycotters. But to most of this campus, this boycott is simply an annoying distraction. Glad to see so many are rejecting PCP's typical bullshit
Could you please give some reasons?
Also, the Prince does not have an article from PCP's viewpoint because PCP has not yet sent one in. I know this because I talk to PCP members regularly.
The article is pretty silly. Maybe it wasn't intended this way, but it feels as if Sammy, in making so many jokes, is making a joke about the issue.
The boycott is also pretty silly. See the point about Boeing and Coca Cola.
Even if Israel prosecutes some human rights abuses, that does not mean it prosecutes all of them, or even a majority of them! So TFI, that is not a valid argument. But, I think the same is true in the US (I imagine lots of soldiers have gotten away with atrocities and were not prosecuted in the Abu Ghraib scandal), and no one is talking about boycotting Coca Cola.
The IDF setting the standards all other armies should attempt to emulate. Funny, we never hear a word out of the SJP about this.

Ugh... Another PCP/TFI tussle that nobody cares about. Both sides are full of idiots, and most thoughtful people are not taken in by the bs that either side constantly spews
If you're going to boycott a brand of hummus because of its association with Israel's armed forces, why not go ahead and force all of Princeton's Israeli international students to leave? The same logic applies, right?
Looks like a freshman needs to take PHI 201: Introductory Logic next semester. Same logic doesn't apply at all, unless Israeli students are donating to the Israeli military. Dumb dumb you are so dumb fo' real.
Yeah, they probably did 'donate to the Israeli military'. Donated about three years for guys and two for girls. Dumb dumb you are.
Doesn't mean you should kick them out, though.
This article hits the nail on the head. This boycott is just another way for extremists to delegitimize Israel and try to not recognize Israel's right to exist. Trying to prevent Sabra hummus from being sold at the university because it is owned by an Israeli company is also ridiculous. PCP (what an accurate name, for the people who proposed this probably were on PCP when they wrote this) is divisive and counter productive to the US-Israel relationship. Think about it: Israel sees this shit happening at Princeton. Do you really think that Israel will want to contribute to US society or to Wall Street (of which it has the 3rd most companies) when this is the reception they get in the US? What does that mean for us?: less life-saving technology.
