Eran Cohen, running to lead Britain's Union of Jewish Students, supports the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions movement against Israel where he was born.

Israel fears boycott of products of its colonies because that could easily extend to a broader boycott of companies that operate there.

If you feel your organization needs a "presence" in Facebook.

Rep. Ellison faces a smear campaign for insisting that Israel should make peace with Palestine.

"Democrats must become progressive or get out of the way."

I disagree with one background point: Trump did not win the election. Rather the Republican Party stole the election through voter-suppression. The Crosscheck scheme denied a million Americans the right to vote.

With this unjust advantage, Trump didn't need to actually win; it was sufficient for him to get within stealing range. He did that against Clinton because of her nonprogressive policies.

Sanders might have won by a bigger margin, beyond stealing range.

Julian Assange has published his answers to the Swedish prosecutor's questions, in effect daring the prosecutor to either charge him for real or let the issue drop so he can leave the Ecuadorian embassy.

Assange says they can't actually charge him because the evidence offers no legal grounds to do so.

I don't know what went on between Assange and the woman, but I do see that the prosecutors are using the charges as an excuse rather than really concerned about them. If they were serious about the alleged sex crime, they would have made the formal commitment not to send Assange to the US, and he would have gone to Sweden to face the legal proceedings.
