We kind of wanted to stay away from this one, since we don’t have all the details yet and we definitely don’t want to take sides. That being said, we just have to ask, “Why?” How can we expect anything to get solved in the “real world” if we, as college students, can’t even function civilly in a place where open discussion and non-violent interaction are supposed to be priorities? Aren’t we, like, hypothetical grown-ups? What is so funny about peace, love and understanding? Argh. So many questions …

The internet, naturally, is abuzz with speculation and finger-pointing on the matter. It’s a good thing you can’t get punched online. (And Superpoke doesn’t count.)

When we posted about Dwinelle Hall’s cryptic “Who is Barazani?” flyers earlier, and compared their presumed subject to Eddie Haskell and made other sundry sassy comments, we were actually kind of jumping the snarky gun. OK, really jumping the snarky gun.

It turns out that “Barazani” was referring to Moshe Barazani, who, from the looks of things, is considered a Zionist martyr. (Thanks, Googler.) Whoops. According to Gabe Weiner of the Israel Peace Initiative, the flyers were posted to generate interest in Israel Liberation Week, which, incidentally, started today.

Anyway, we certainly didn’t mean to disrespect anyone’s revered heroes by likening them to a scheming young brown-noser. Our apologies for that one. In our defense, though, we were right about at least one thing. When we walked into Dwinelle today, lo and behold, all was revealed on another set of flyers.
