Since Peter Fritch and I have already covered the ongoing campus debate about the recent flare-up in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict here and here, we’re going to present the following pictures of the new, “pro-Israel” Arts Quad display without comment. A note: I’m not sure if I got all of the signs, but my fingers were about to freeze off and lose grip of my precious, precious camphone, so take it or leave it.
Has anyone seen any of the panelists from the Gaza in Crisis Discussion Panel hosted by the Cornell International Affairs Review (with various other groups, ranging from MECA to Tommy Bruce’s office to the International Soccer Club) on Wednesday? From what I heard, the moderator prefaced the discussion by stating that he knows very little about Gaza, proceeding to cite a summary from Wikipedia in a room full of well-informed, emotionally charged college students. I wouldn’t be surprised if the panelists were shanked walking home that night.
For those actually wanting to engage in a dialogue, meaning the Islamic Alliance for Justice (IAJ), Hillel, Cornell Israel Public Affairs Committee (CIPAC), and the Daily Sun herself, a real panel discussion was held the next day in the same exact room (Lewis Auditorium), one in which the panelists (gasp!) seemed to know what they were talking about.
