This is in response to Humza Chowdhry’s article “Zionism and the Ongoing Israel Terrorism” He mentions “it’s disappointing to find anyone defending Israel’s violation of UN resolutions and World Court rulings.” It is apparent that there seems to be a many number of people including some of his critics that support the violations as well […]

It seems that every year Jay Devore writes to the paper to comment on expensive textbooks. As always, Devore puts the blame on used copies of books driving the prices of new books up. What Devore fails to mention is that professors have every option to assign inexpensive alternatives to “required” books that many students […]

Recently, Humza Chowdhry wrote a guest commentary in the Mustang Daily lambasting Zionism. Before enumerating some of the good things that Hamas does, he assured his readers that “Jewish people aren’t the problem; Zionism is.” I would like to invite Mustang Daily readers to read what Hamas actually stands for by reading their charter. You […]

Every year we pay more money for our education, and every year they make more cutbacks; degrading the quality of education we receive. I think the next time we decide to make cutbacks, we should disband the University Police Department. It is possible that the revenue they bring in outweighs their costs, but that revenue […]

In the commentary Monday concerning the new movie about the heroic efforts of Americans to deter Islamic extremists from flying a plane into a building, Ms. Marschall made it seem that any American who wants to relive the “tragedy” is a bloodthirsty savage. What she did not tell you, unfortunately, is that many of the […]

Finally an election is coming our way unlike the United States government, where individuals are not forced to vote between the lesser of two evils. Next week is the election for the ASI president and Board of Directors candidates – I know you’re counting down the days like I am. Since I’m an old-timer about […]

In his article, Mr. Chowdhry accuses anyone who supports Israel to be immoral. How dare he? How can he accuse Israel’s supporter to be immoral while he supports Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization set on killing innocent Jews, Israeli or not, and is bent on destroying a country? And this, two days after a terrorist […]

I once again gasped as I read “The Right Way,” a piece of journalism so interesting I read it weekly. While the things he said were interesting, I believe Mr. Eller may be illuminating one side of the story: The patriotic side. I never understood this argument, you are either with us or against us. […]

It is very sad to see still another letter, like Humza Chowdhry’s, appearing in a university newspaper. What is the intention of these oft-repeated messages? They offer no solutions to the very complex problems of and between the Palestinians and the Israelis as people. They offer no suggestions for ending the tragic costs, particularly in […]

Maki is the right choice for ASI president On May 3rd, I will be casting my vote for Todd Maki for ASI president. Maki is my choice because of his strong experience within Student Government. He was a part of a massive bus surveying taskforce that complied student concerns to strengthen ASI’s voice when approaching […]

Huzma Chowdhry’s appalling commentary (4/19) was littered with half-truths and thinking at least as biased as the “Zionists” that he criticizes. Especially considering that this week there were nine innocent people killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber. Meanwhile, the newly-elected Hamas government defended the right of maniacs to carry out these attacks. This is the […]
