Replace Sabra hummus at Washington and Lee

The Issue

The Sabra Company is owned by two independent, global food companies – PepsiCo, based in the US, and Strauss Group, based in Israel. The Strauss Group funds the Golani and Gevati brigades, two of the most notorious brigades of the IDF which both contribute to the Genocide and apartheid of the Palestinian peoples. By providing resources to the Golani Brigade, the Strauss Group both endorses and enables the IDF’s brutal practices. By continuing to sell Sabra products, Washington and Lee perpetuates and normalizes the brutal IDF warcrimes on your fellow Human Beings in Palestine. This is not merely a question of brands, but about an immoral and illegal assault on Palestinian lives and dignity. It is a question of Washington and Lee’s commitment to using its institutional power to intervene in situations of injustice: will we choose to affirm the fundamental human rights of all people, including the many Palestinians who have suffered at the hands of the Golani Brigade and continue to live under occupation? Or will we, again, stay silent?
