An Israeli court on Tuesday approved the interior ministry's decision to expel Human Rights Watch's country director for allegedly supporting a boycott of the country.
The court also noted that "it has been proven" that Shakir "continues to publicly call for a boycott on Israel or parts of it, while at the same time asking that it opens its gates for him." HRW denied in response that the group or Shakir promoted a boycott of Israel, saying that Tuesday's ruling was a "new and dangerous interpretation of the law," since it equated criticism of businesses operating in the occupied West Bank to boycotting Israel.

A team from Israel is attempting a privately funded moon landing today: watch it liveIt would be the first privately funded landing on the moon. The base on the earth's Moon will be disabled by the inhabitants who live in the Moon again. Old Atlanta built the Moon from the old continents of the earth, 14,500 years ago. Do you remember the space dive from the Bible? At that time, the sea level was reduced by 6 km. Didn’t quite make it. Craft lost over moon! Gallant effort. Little Israel is only the 4th nation to land a spacecraft on the Moon.
