I don't understand why the term "Palestine" is objected and "Palestinian people" is suggested. I'm pretty sure it is documented (yes, Brooks...historically) that a nation Palestine exists. I think the term PALESTINE should be in bold caps because not only does it exist, it is represented on this campus and supported. Maybe, Brooks, if you actually inquired about what the groups agenda would be, then you wouldn't have to assume they were anti-Israeli and accuse them blindly of hating and wanting to bring "death to Israel and America". But Brooks over here seems like he is all for believing blind, tyrannical, biased, inhumane BULLSHIT.

...it's tough to argue that a club is "going to give weight to both sides" when its called "Brandeis Students for Justice and Peace in Palestine." In fact, one might argue it's a little biased, no? There aren't any clubs on campus called "Brandeis Students Against Terrorism in Israel." This sounds like the lack of quality control that went the Jimmy Carter love-fest that both Shouster and Hanniya did in Palestine over the winter break. If only the Student Union was as vigorous in chartering this club as they were against permitting American flags on campus...

Mr. Brooks,

"Most people who use that word use it as a reference to a nation that exists, and that's just historically false, there isn't a nation that exists,"

I'm not going to lower myself to your degrading level. You certainly know nothing about history. Go get your resources right, because you just make yourself look like a fool. You are claiming that Palestine is not a country. The country is not a set of borders drawn on a map. It is the PEOPLE, and as long as the people EXIST and LIVE on it, it'll always be. Anyway, the Palestinian people do not need anyone to tell them that their country exists or does not. This club is called 'Brandeis students for Justice and peace in Palestine' it's not called 'Palestine Exists!' We don't need to say that and we're not supposed to argue with anyone about this anymore, please don't. So for everyone who thinks that Palestine does not exist, we don't care what you think, it won't change the reality, it's just stupid.

Dear Noah Klinger,

Sorry to blow your cover as Thomas Quasthoff. How long have you been using this pseudonym? It's really quite a clever one. Only don't you think Donald McIntyre was a better baritone, even if he did have real hands?
