Brown Writer lacks political theory

The short of the article below you is that the author- someone attending an Ivy league school believes that, "Israel has never recognized the right of Palestinians to meaningful independence", and that in a whole, the Annapolis conference is a way to insult Palestinians. How can anyone deny that Israel is giving Palestinians their independence when in 2005, Israel allowed Palestinians to hold their own elections? Even though by putting Hamas in power Israel puts itself in a position where yet another government denies their right to exist, Israel proved that Palestinians do have meaningful independence when they could vote by themselves.

Articles like this anger me because it shows no educational background at all and only a subjective view on situations. I would expect more from a graduate student at Brown University and hope that when writing about current world issues, this student will show that he has a little more political theory and a little less prejudice

All universities have such elements. You will see, and I hope you will join the dialogue, with all your training.
