Letter: Marzec needs to learn how to be a responsible adult
Sep. 8, 2014am the daughter of a Jewish man and although raised Catholic, I have always felt strongly about those who practice anti-Semitism. Like my father before me, I went to Ohio University and it was the best five years of my life. When you poured blood and defamed my college, you broke my heart. You made my college dirty with hate and left me sick with anger.

Letter: Marzec has been "defamed" for her courageous stand against Israel
Sep. 8, 2014Jews for Palestinian Right of Return deplores the witch-hunt against Megan Marzec, president of the Ohio University Student Senate, following her protest of the recent U.S.-backed Israeli massacre in Gaza, which has taken the lives of more than 2000 people, many of them civilians, children, entire families, the elderly, and the disabled.
Letter: Marzec's video echoes the thoughts of most of her generation
Sep. 8, 2014Megan Marzec clearly stated her position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It speaks volumes about her opponents that they'd rather silence her than attempt to argue against that position. From the online death threats to that masterpiece of passive aggressive condescension Rabbi Danielle Leshaw authored, those demanding Marzec's resignation from Student Senate (and/or her head on a platter) don't seem to want to talk about the issue at hand any more than they want Marzec to talk about it.
Letter: Comparisons can be drawn between Palestine and Congo human rights
Sep. 8, 2014I am a 2013 graduate of Ohio University writing to express my full support for Megan Marzec. As Post readers know, Megan posted a video last week that called on Ohio University to cut its ties with the apartheid state of Israel. The video generated enormous controversy locally and nationally, and Megan received over 1000 critical emails and messages in 24 hours, the majority of which were steeped in vitriolic, racist, misogynistic language, and some of which included death threats.

Culture Shocked: Travel bug in the air
By Zander Myers | Sep. 8, 2014I have always had the travel bug. Many people do, but I think that very few of us actually act on it. I think, mostly, it all comes down to money like so much in life does. You can raise money for a trip, but it becomes pretty complicated pretty quickly.
Letter: Student Senate President not afraid to stand up
Sep. 8, 2014The accusations that Megan Marzec was out of line by calling on Ohio University to break ties with Israel over its war crimes against Palestinians is ridiculous. What do students want from a leader? Someone who is unengaged? Someone who will ignore oppressive forces on our campus and in the world? On the contrary, we have a student body president who is unafraid to stand up for students on campus who are the most oppressed, such as Palestinians.
