BEVERLY SCHAEFER Inbox “PAW’s story on Professor Dan Kurtzer profiles a reasonable man and expert diplomat. His proposed Israel- Palestine peace plan, though, reads like more ‘deal’ than ‘peace.’” — Ken Scudder ’63 The quest for Mideast peace Griff Witte ’00’s interesting and readable profile of Professor Dan Kurtzer (cover story, April 4) refers in passing to “the ancient conflicts of the Middle East.” But there is nothing ancient about the Israeli military occupation of Palestinian territories, which began in 1967. Witte’s article recapitulates the two implicit assumptions that inform mainstream U.S. discourse about the Israel-Palestine “conflict”: that it is an armed struggle between two equally powerful sides, and that the United States is a neutral third party. But by every measure, the overwhelming preponderance of force is on the side of Israeli military occupation. The occupation is a matter of consistent, longterm Israeli policy, as are the new settlements that continue to arise in the Palestinian territories. The magic moment of the article in which “hundreds of thousands of Israelis living in West Bank settlements suddenly are inside Israel proper as areas outside the 1967 boundaries are absorbed” (ta-da!) reads especially transparently in light of these longterm policies.

More importantly, however, continued occupation and settlement would be impossible without enormous U.S. military aid to Israel. The United States is a party to this conflict, and Americans can stop it, not by waiting for Barack Obama to “[help] the Israelis and Palestinians cut a deal,” but by placing pressure on our own government to end its support for Israel’s belligerent actions. To find “a part of the world where reason is often in short supply,” we need look no further than our own State Department. JACOB DENZ ’10 Brooklyn, N.Y. I really enjoyed the article on Daniel Kurtzer. One issue I would have liked him to address is the money U.S. taxpayers spend to keep the peace. We pay billions to Egypt to keep them from invading Israel, and we pay billions to Israel to help them deter others from attacking. What does the ambassador think would happen if we stopped all Editors will choose the funniest, most sentimental, and most creative images from Reunions 2012 to run in the July issue and at PAW Online, and Facebook users will have the chance to vote for our readers-choice prize, given to the photo that receives the most “likes.” A video gallery also will be available at paw.princeton.edu. BUZZ BOX Atributetothelegacies of two Princeton ‘giants’ Every story, letter, and memorial at paw.princeton.edu offers a chance to comment In his April 4 Rally ’Round the Cannon column at PAW Online, Gregg Lange ’70 described the parallels in the stories of two “giants of Princeton volunteerism”: Dean Mathey 1912, photo at top right, and Jay Sherrerd ’52, below. The column struck a chord with alumni readers. “A spectacular tribute to two champions,” POSS PARHAM ’52 wrote. “Jay received the Class of 1952 Special Service Award in 2002 that expressed our thanks for, among many other things, ‘what must be one of the greatest legacies of service to Princeton of all times.’ Our gratitude will continue forever.” JEAN HENDRY *80 commented: “Thanks so much for bringing Sherrerd and Mathey to life for those of us not fortunate enough to have known them.” “Gregg Lange has an uncanny gift for telling stories in an exceedingly entertaining way,” wrote HENRY VON KOHORN ’66. “Locomotives by the score for Sherrerd, Mathey ... and Lange.” WE’D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU EMAIL: paw@princeton.edu MAIL: PAW, 194 Nassau Street, Suite 38, Princeton, NJ 08542 PAW ONLINE: Comment on a story at paw.princeton.edu PHONE: 609-258-4885; FAX: 609-258-2247 Letters should not exceed 275 words, and may be edited for length, accuracy, clarity, and civility.
