Re/Max continues settlement real estate deals - Code Pink intensifies protests | | Code Pink - Ahead of the Presbyterian General Assembly in June, CEO
Dave Liniger of the real estate giant RE/MAX told the Presbyterians
that "RE/MAX would stop earning profits" from sales of properties at
Israeli settlements on the West Bank. As soon turned out, however,
the Israeli subsidiary of RE/MAX in no way feels bound to change its
policies. RE/MAX Israel CEO Bernard Raskin told Judy Maltz of
Haaretz that the promise to the Presbyterians has “zero impact on
anything we are doing.” RE/MAX Israel currently operates in all of
the large settlements and even has an office in the settlement of
Ma’aleh Adumin! Therefore, the activists of Code Pink decided to
intensify their campaign. There were protests outside RE/MAX offices
in Los Angeles, California, and Syracuse, New York. Further protests
are planned at cities across the country: from Chicago to Atlanta to
Portland, Oregon. [ak] | 9/8/2016 |

After FIFA complaint, Israel lets Gaza soccer players travel to championship game in Hebron | | Yoni Mendel - +972 - Like last year, the Israeli authorities
- citing unspecified "security considerations" - initially refused
to allow Palestinian soccer players to travel from Gaza to the West
Bank to participate in the Palestine Cup Final. Like last year, the
decision was changed and the players allowed to travel after the
Palestinians appealed to FIFA, the International Soccer Federation.
Travel restrictions on Palestinian players are one of the ongoing
soccer-related issues raised by Palestinians, along with the
situation of West Bank settler clubs being admitted to the Israeli
Soccer League in contravention of FIFA bylaws. In last year`s FIFA
Congress, the Palestinians agreed to shelve their motion to have
Israel suspended - but it might be revived in the next congress.
