Because good journalism always tells two sides of the story, and Friday's guest column by Yoav Mor was less than half of one side, allow me to clear up a few inaccuracies printed in the Alligator. This time, let's err on the side of fact rather than rhetoric.
There has been recent commotion by supporters of the United Nations' Goldstone report spreading half-truths and misinformation by claiming that the report deals with "human rights."
Israel has repeatedly defied United Nations resolutions. What other developed country in the world would be allowed this lawless refusal to abide by UN resolutions? Moreover, since its occupation of the Palestinian Territories in 1967, Israel has not implemented one single resolution stipulating its withdrawal from the occupied territories and refraining from all activities in these territories.
The Senate chambers were a bit more crowded than usual Tuesday night when about 30 students stuffed into rows and crowded the aisles to discuss an upcoming resolution regarding a report on last winter's Gaza conflict.
The Resolution Affirming Support for the State of Israel that Senate will be voting on tonight is a travesty. Every word of it represents the extremist pro-Israel position, from the first Whereas clauses that subtly try to deny any right of Palestinians to the land and which gloss over the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that took place during the founding of Israel, to quotes from president Ahmadinejad of dubious authenticity and support for sanctions against Iran (not unlike the ones that killed 500,000 Iraqi children in the 1990s), to trying to cover up the slaughter of over 1,300 innocent civilians by Israel in Gaza this December and January.
Of many issues to be presented at the Student Senate meeting tonight, one is a resolution calling for the Student Senate to denounce the Goldstone report. The Goldstone report is a UN document ratified by 25 of the 47 nations involved in the UN. It was written after a fact-finding mission by Richard Goldstone, the former chief prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda.
A group of about 20 students, some holding signs with slogans such as "We want fair food and justice for all," urged senators at Tuesday's meeting to show their support for a resolution advocating a pay increase and better treatment for Immokalee workers.
Florida's backcourt just got a little deeper.
It didn't take Billy Donovan long to change his opinion of Nimrod Tishman.
During the offseason, Billy Donovan warned Erving Walker the upcoming season would be the toughest of the point guard's life.
A 20-foot inflatable Red Stag bottle stood out among throngs of blue, white, gold and green canopies to show newcomers where to go.
Eight years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Florida Sen. Ted Deutch warned Jewish Americans at UF Hillel about the dangers of Iran.
I am Jewish and very proud of my religion and heritage but I cannot say that I am proud of the state of Israel. It is hard for me to talk about this issue but I feel that I must.
Israelis claim they want peace but then create settlements on Palestinian land. From 2005 to 2008 there were 1,754 Palestinian and 117 Israeli deaths. Israel should be charged with war crimes for their disproportionate military responses that often punish the Palestinians collectively.
I am writing in regard to Travis Hornsby's guest column, "Mideast trip reveals need for peace."
Instead of working odd jobs, getting an internship or taking classes this summer like a normal college student, I decided to go to the Middle East. I spent the majority of my time in the West Bank, even though the U.S. Department of State advised to stay clear of the Palestinian territories. What I saw has completely changed my views and understanding of American foreign policy in the Middle East.
On Wednesday, Jewish young adults will be able to register online for a free peer-group trip to Israel this winter.
Eloy Vargas' brief career at Florida has come to an end.
