after a state Board of Administration recommendation. Airbnb

If Airbnb becomes a public company, Florida could ban its

Airbnb responded to the news via a statement.

Israel Considers Ban of Amnesty International
Israeli politicians have begun investigations into whether Amnesty
International should be banned from the country after the orga-

located in Judea, Samaria or eastern Jerusalem, JNS.org reported.

“The hypocritical Amnesty organization speaks in the name of
human rights and, in effect, promotes boycotts against Israeli citizens
as part of the anti-Semitic boycott and delegitimization campaign,”
Minister of Internal Security and Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan said.

More than 800,000 Jews live in Judea, Samaria and eastern
Jerusalem, which is about 12 percent of all Jews in Israel.

Amnesty International asked Airbnb, Booking.com,
TripAdvisor and Expedia to remove listings.

“In doing business with settlements, all four companies are con-
tributing to, and profiting from, the maintenance, development and
expansion of illegal settlements, which amount to war crimes under
international criminal law,” Amnesty International said.

Israel told the United Nations that there continues to be “under-

“Hezbollah’s construction work on these additional tunnels
ceased last month when the terror organization realized its plans

“None of the new tunnels had reached the Israeli border, unlike

Camping is where the Moshe
family found their Jewish com-

sister always knew that Camp
Harlam would be a part of their
lives — their mother was one of
the first campers at Harlam
when it opened in 1958.

Her sister adored camp:
“She never left,” Moshe said

camper and later a staffer and
