There’s good news on the pro-Israel petition that’s going around Dartmouth. One of the petition’s cosponsors, Michele Nudelman, told me that alums could add their names to the petition by emailing, from their Dartmouth accounts, to DIPAC@dartmouth.edu. (DIPAC stands for the Dartmouth Israel Public Awareness Committee). The petition reads:
“We, the undersigned, as registered voters of the United States of America, and as members of the Dartmouth College community, stand by Israel in our shared pursuit of democracy, freedom, and peace. We support a strong relationship between the United States and Israel in the battle against terrorism. We advocate security and stability for both Israelis and Palestinians. We pray for peace and freedom for all peoples in the Middle East.”
Michele tells me that they have 550 signatures so far — 400 of which came in just yesterday. They’re shooting for 1000 names. Think of it: While petitioners at Harvard and MIT pitch hissy fits over Israel and — unconscionably — compare Israel with apartheidist South Africa, we sensible Dartmouth folk have a resolution with a little more moral clarity. What other school can boast a fraction of our good sense?
I encourage all Dartmouth alums who support Israel and would like to add their names to this petition to send a quick email to DIPAC, and let them know you support them.
