A. actually Sabra doesnt donate, its Strauss group, which owns half of Sabra, that donates for welfare and culture needs of soldiers (as so many US folks do for US soldiers)

B. I very much doubt that ALL or even most Princeton students are boycotting.

C. some folks launched a referendum to remove Sabra and replace it. Later they said they just wanted to add another hummus, but IIUC it was too late to change the referendum. AFAIK Princeton does not have alternate brands for all branded foods (they DO have hummus freshly made in the cafeteria on some days, IIUC)

As for me, I have “liked” Sabra Hummus on facebook, and intend to only buy Sabra henceforth. Its delicious, of course. Also, Israel has a right to defend itself, and there is nothing wrong with Israeli companies donating to help IDF soldiers.

DePaul U has removed Sabra from the cafeteria, IIUC.
