If you don't know what Haaretz is, you should. That and Aljazeera are the best way to get real news about the middle east. Here's a concerning article about the state of Israeli politics: www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
