The resolution passed by the City of Beverly Hills asserts that Airbnb does not reverse its decision, the city called “upon all civilized people across the globe to boycott Airbnb until such time as they desist from these despicable anti-Semitic actions.”

Haley didn’t just defend the Jewish state, she also pointed out the dangers to the Middle East and the world presented by Iran and called tyrants to account. She will be missed.
Though the White Helmets themselves failed to acknowledge who saved them, the U.S., Canada, UK, and EU all acknowledged Israel’s help. It would be appreciated if they let Israel in addition to defending others, was permitted to defend itself.
The historical importance Krauthammer attached to Israel wasn’t just about the past, but also about the future, and where Jewish history was headed.

He tolerates no dissent, marginalizing and arresting critics. If a democratic and accountable state is necessary for peace with Israel, Abbas has failed to deliver either.
Given the cry raised by Israel’s enemies – and some purported friends like Britain and France – you might think that Trump had ordered bombs dropped on civilians. But the objections were not for any loss of life, but for the intent to move a building and treat Israel normally.
Sarsour and Vilkomerson have every reason to want a debate about anti-Semitism, it deflects from the fact that they, by definition, are promoting anti-Semitism. What we need is clarity, not debate.

Originally published at Legal Insurrection. The featured image of Thomas Friedman above comes from a talk he gave about many of the marvels of modern technology. At the beginning he says that you have “every bit of knowledge available to you” from Google. It’s a bit of an overstatement, but his point is essentially correct. […]
