From Jewish Press: "Avi Zinger, Ben & Jerry’s Israeli licensee, has settled the federal lawsuit filed on his behalf by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and co-counsel, following Ben & Jerry’s refusal to renew Zinger’s 34-year-old license to manufacture and sell Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The settlement prevents Ben & Jerry’s from boycotting Israel and ensures that Zinger will continue selling Ben & Jerry’s ice cream throughout Israel and Judea and Samaria without interruption. The settlement signals a major defeat for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement which had pressured Ben & Jerry’s to stop all Ben & Jerry’s sales in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem."
Bad news:
From United With Israel: "Biden Blasted for ‘Watering Down’ Ban on Terror-Linked Individuals". Last week, the U.S. Department of State, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), altered federal immigration law so that non-citizens who provided 'insignificant material support' to designated terror groups are now eligible to receive 'immigration benefits or other status' in the United States."
"The change was reported by the Washington Free Beacon, citing a policy published in the Federal Register, which is the official journal of the U.S. federal government. The Beacon noted that the policy had not been formally announced by the administration.
"'Examples of individuals who would fall into the new category, according to the announcement, include individuals who provided 'humanitarian assistance’ or ‘routine commercial transactions’ to terror groups,' reported the Free Beacon.
"According to the report, the Biden administration has made it 'easier for individuals who have worked with designated terrorist groups to legally enter the United States.'
Speculation with regard to the agenda fueling the change in policy pointed to potential overtures by the Biden administration to individuals associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a designated terror group responsible for the deaths of Israelis, Americans, and citizens of other nations around the world.
Iran remains the world’s top state-sponsor of terrorism, in addition to the primary source on instability in the Middle East, directing and arming terror proxy armies in Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip."
