Israel's strategy is to squeeze Gaza's economy, cutting off all but a drip-feed of humanitarian aid in the hope that civilians will turn against the Islamists of Hamas. Critics condemn this tactic as an unjust "collective punishment" on all of Gaza's inhabitants. Nor has it stopped Palestinian militants from firing hundreds of homemade rockets into Israel. "What harm is our Pepsi doing to Israel?" asks Yazegi. "The Israelis aren't punishing Hamas, they're punishing the people. The militants have money, guns ... they don't care about the siege." He contends that after decades of conflict...
...students in Moral Reasoning 22: Justice were recently assigned a paper that asked students to discuss whether “gender discrimination in hiring always unjust,” using examples such as male gynecologists and waitresses at Hooters. Instead of pondering the issue in an essay, FM decided to call in the experts: FM: “Hey, Hooters of Wethersfield manager Scott Yarnall, I’m a male gynecologist.

The view reversed Sarkozy's attitudes before becoming President, when he raised hackles in Algeria with his mocking disdain of what he has called the "detestable fashion of repentance" of French politicians, such as his predecessor, for alleged injustices inflicted during France's colonial period. After earlier acknowledging the role of the French state...
...Sarafa, although not quite as ubiquitous on campus, is also an open and friendly person to whom students can voice their concerns.Sundquist and Sarafa also have the right priorities. At the top of their list is reform of the Administrative Board of Harvard College, Harvard’s unjust disciplinary tribunal. Although Pilbeam has created a committee of three anonymous faculty members to reform the Ad Board, the committee, like the Ad Board itself, seems largely a sham. Sundquist and Sarafa are committed to pushing for meaningful reform to the Ad Board. Their know-how and drive are the best...
