On March 12 the Egyptian parliament declared, “Revolutionary Egypt will never be a friend, partner or ally of the Zionist entity [Israel], which we consider to be the number one enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation.” Along with this statement, the report halted oil exports to Israel, expelled the Israeli ambassador from the capitol, [...]
Members of Vanderbilt’s Commodores for Israel organization have been honored as “Activists of the Year” by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, commonly known as AIPAC. Over the past year, students at Vanderbilt University expanded pro-Israel political activism on campus by building on the excitement of the 2008 presidential campaign, convening high-profile campus forums and [...]
So I braved through the cold and walked to Benton Chapel this evening for the Gaza vigil, seemingly renamed “A Moment for Peace: Gaza and Israel.” Funny, that’s not the name that was advertised. Someone in Hillel must have said something. Or perhaps they’re reading Vandy Right! I arrived right at six, though the event [...]

I’m of two minds, as much of the conservative blogosphere is, about whether or not Joe’s “qualified,” but [...]
