Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused President Barack Obama of colluding against Israel when he instructed his UN ambassador to abstain from voting on a resolution that condemned Israeli settlements. “The Obama administration not only failed to protect Israel against this gang-up at the UN, it colluded with it behind the scenes,” said Netanyahu’s bureau . “Israel looks forward to working with President-elect Trump and with all our friends in Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to negate the harmful effects of this absurd resolution.” The resolution calls for an immediate halt on Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, but carries no force of law.

An anti-Israel group has released a detailed online map of the greater Boston area to illustrate "how local support for the colonization of Palestine is structurally tied to policing evictions, and privatization locally, and to U.S. imperialist projects worldwide." This interactive map — launched by anonymous allies of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) in Boston — singles out Jewish groups, police, the media, and other organizations and individuals with even the most tenuous ties to Israel and sets them up as targets. Even public figures with favorable views of the Jewish State, such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D), are listed alongside human rights organizations, houses of worship, several universities, the FBI , and Boston-area schools that have pro-Israel student organizations on campus. The map allows users to choose from a list of "harm categories" and gives the locations of institutions it accuses of complicity in crimes against humanity, including … [Read more...] about Online map offers clear and present danger to Boston’s Jews | Opinion
