The triple-digit heat finally broke this past week, ending our drought. At first the thunderstorms were brief, but on Monday the rain poured heavily, flooding the streets. Apparently a woman died in Dallas when her car was swept away. Extreme weather is getting worse all the time.
Meanwhile I heard that a court ruled that Unilever could overrule Ben and Jerry's, forcing them to resume sales in the West Bank. So apparently they're not going to allow Ben and Jerry's to remain independent in their decisions anymore. Pro-Israel folks are so quick to attack BDS, as if it's not our free speech right to boycott them. It makes me lose respect for the ADL, acting like all Jews agree with Israel's apartheid policies. You can criticize a nation and its government without being racist to its people. And again, not all Jews live in Israel. Don't conflate people with the country.
