The false notion of moral equivalence

Eddie Damstra | Wednesday, March 1, 2017

One of my biggest reservations with President Obama was the manner in which his administration handled relations with Israel. From negotiating a deal that gives Iran, whose leadership vows to destroy the state of Israel, a path to nuclear weapons to refusing to veto a U.N. resolution condemning Jewish settlement activity, President Obama and his

Don’t stand with the oppressor

Letter to the Editor | Friday, April 15, 2016

On April 8, Notre Dame’s Center for Civil and Human Rights (CCHR) hosted George Deek, a representative of Israel’s Foreign Ministry. Deek’s narrative denied Israel’s relentless attempts to rebut the rights of the Palestinians, and it discredited the Palestinian struggle for justice and equality. During his talk, he presented Israel as a bastion of diversity

Presidential procrastination on foreign policy

Christopher Newton | Monday, October 6, 2014

A Sunday after a home-game win: as always, a time for procrastination and limited productivity. The Irish won this weekend and advanced to the top five, so why worry about applications, theses and editorial columns?  There’s a Bar Rescue marathon on Spike that needs your undivided attention for what some might call an excessive number

Tori Roeck | Thursday, February 6, 2014

In his new book titled “Contested Frontiers in the Syria-Lebanon-Israel Region: Cartography, Sovereignty and Conflict,” history and peace studies professor Asher Kaufman uses maps to illustrate the complexity of the border dispute among Israel, Syria and Lebanon, using this border area as a microcosm of Middle Eastern history for the past 100 years.

Instagram post 2195908705778065699_1726022560 “As you may know, I received 5,000 signatures and a protest on God Quad last spring, which — while compelling and interesting — was a bit of curiosity to me, because people were protesting against something that hadn’t been established yet,” said associate vice president of Residential Life Heather Rakoczy Russel in the Dahnke Ballroom last night. ..
Rakoczy Russel was looking to garner student feedback in crafting the off campus differentiation policies.  Surveys will be sent out to the class of 2022, the first class impacted by the off campus differentiation, but ultimately the policy will reflect Notre Dame's attitudes about community and identity.

"After making my heart suffer such a toll, I decided to redeem myself — and my stomach — by delighting in some real — I cannot emphasize that word enough — Mexican food. I searched the Internet for the best places in South Bend, heavily rolling my eyes at the lists featuring Chipotle and, yes, Taco Bell. Thankfully, I found several options that promised authentic food, and most of them were located on South Bend’s west side."
