(Daily Princetonian) Samson Schatz - The Princeton Committee on Palestine has asked for a student referendum on offering an alternative to Sabra hummus, a creamy, chickpea delicacy, in all university retail locations. 50% of Sabra Dipping Company is owned by PepsiCo, and 50% is owned by the Strauss Group, an Israeli company. The Strauss Group sponsors a range of community outreach programs, including raising money for premature infants in Serbia and providing scholarship funds to children with cancer. The Strauss Group also provides care packages of free hummus to Israeli soldiers. PCP is encouraging you to vote for a clause that starts down the road of delegitimizing the State of Israel, because it targets an Israeli company for feeding the soldiers in its own country's army.
