Dear President Eisgruber,

I have learned that Princeton will be offering a course,' Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide in Gaza.' to be given by Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian who I understand was arrested and briefly detained in Israel for inciting hatred against the Jewish state and subsequently allowed to resign from the Hebrew University. The perfect credentials for teaching about Israel's crimes which is what you and I know the course is all about. I would like to comment about the incongruity of combining gender, reproduction and Genocide in Gaza, three totally separate topics leaving out more relevant topics such as washroom choices by transsexuals, or the murder of gay men in Gaza.

In the absence of mass graves, extermination facilities and missing persons, talking about a Gaza genocide is no more than permitting an Israel hater to insult the country that rejected her. You are so kind for giving her this opportunity.

As for the idea that "genocidal projects target reproductive life, sexual and familial structures, and community survival", I trust that the course will explain the increase in population enjoyed by the Gazans and the school system that teaches the Gazans to yearn for martyrdom while killing Israelis, along with UNWRA's role in enabling this mass child abuse.

In regards to "community survival" it would be valuable to include the enthusiasm with which Gazan civilians, mostly women enjoyed looting the Israeli houses in which their Hamas brethren had murdered all the occupants.

Good luck assisting Princeton's students to hate Israel even more than they do.

Larry Shapiro, Calgary
