It's a move designed to boost the standing of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as he campaigns for re-election. But there's already been an international outcry. Some accuse President Trump of bringing the region close to war.

«Hier wohnt ein Jude» –Antisemitismus grassiert nicht nur im Netz


NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG: Rechtsextreme und Muslime haben sich 2018 auf Twitter oder Facebook hundertfach judenfeindlich geäussert. Doch auch im realen Leben kommt es zu antisemitischen Übergriffen – selbst in der Armee.

Schweizer Juden würden das Parlament kontrollieren, die Medien, die Justiz und die Wirtschaft. Und: «Schweizer Juden sind krimineller als israelische Juden.» Es sind solche Aussagen auf Twitter, für die das Bezirksgericht Frauenfeld jüngst einen Palästinenser wegen antisemitischer Rassendiskriminierung verurteilt hat. Der IV-Bezüger ist einer von vielen, die sich im vergangenen Jahr judenfeindlich geäussert haben. Das zeigt der neue Antisemitismusbericht für die Deutschschweiz, den die Stiftung gegen Rassismus und Antisemitismus (GRA) und der Schweizerische Israelitische Gemeindebund (SIG) veröffentlicht haben. » | Simon Hehli | Donnerstag, 21.

Kushner, Inc: Vicky Ward on How Jared and Ivanka’s Greed & Ambition Compromise US Foreign Policy


House Democrats are continuing to probe how President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner received a top-secret security clearance despite concerns from the CIA. The New York Times recently reported Trump ordered then-Chief of Staff John Kelly to grant Kushner the clearance despite the judgment of intelligence officials. Kushner failed to report over 100 foreign contacts on his initial application for clearance, which was denied by the FBI after a background check into his financial history and contacts with foreign investors. Kushner later revised his application three times, and was ultimately granted permanent security clearance last May. We speak with Vicky Ward, the author of a new book uncovering details about how Kushner has continued to let the financial dealings of his family impact the policy decisions he promoted overseas. In one case, this almost led to a war in the Middle East between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The book is called “Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.”
