US church votes to divest over Israeli occupation
The United Church of Christ voted to divest from companies profiting from Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and to boycott goods made in Israeli settlements. The resolution, passed with 80% support, targets companies like Veolia, Caterpillar, Motorola, and HP. The decision aligns with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to pressure Israel to end its occupation and grant equal rights to Palestinians. The move has received mixed reactions, with support from groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and criticism from the American Jewish Committee. The divestment reflects growing frustration with the status quo and adds to the moral weight of the BDS movement's impact.

Paris Terror Attacks: France's Jews Question Their Future
The article discusses the increasing emigration of French Jews to Israel, a movement facilitated by The Jewish Agency, due to rising anti-Semitism in France. This trend has been exacerbated by recent terrorist attacks, including the siege of a kosher supermarket in Paris by Ahmed Coulibaly, which resulted in four hostages' deaths. The Jewish Agency noted a significant rise in emigration, with 7,000 French Jews moving to Israel in the previous year and expectations of further increases. The article includes statements from agency spokesman Avi Mayer and Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, director of the American Jewish Committee in Paris, highlighting the climate of fear among French Jews.
