Princeton students reject boycott in referendum
Princeton University students have rejected a ban against Sabra-brand Hummus. A referendum at the university, initiated by the Princeton Committee for Palestine (PCP), that would have demanded the university offer different brands of the chick pea dip failed by a vote of 1,014 to 699. Although Sabra denies any political ties to Israel, it is co-owned by Strauss Corp, which donates money and care packages to Israeli soldiers. PCP, in calling the referendum equated those donations with supporting human rights abuses.
