On the menu today: Avril Haines, the U.S. director of national intelligence, ominously declares in an interview that the U.S. intelligence community is no closer to determining how the COVID-19 pandemic began, and may never know with certainty; the need to end the crisis mentality on evictions; and Vice President Kamala Harris apparently thinks she’s “winning” something by refusing to spend a day visiting the border.
20 Years of Hijacking Human Rights
Marking 20 years since the UN Durban Conference, Jerusalem-based research institute NGO Monitor hosted an online event on Wednesday, titled “20 Years of Hijacking Human Rights: The Lasting Impact of Durban,” bringing together experts who discussed the enduring influence of the original Durban conference and NGO campaign to delegitimize Israel.

When U.S. President Joe Biden participates in his first summit between the United States and the European Union tomorrow in Brussels, he should keep the focus on the big picture.
Weeks before U.S. President Joe Biden met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the NATO summit, Erdogan vowed that the meeting would be transformative. In a virtual gathering with American investors last month, he predicted that the encounter would “herald a new era.” It was no surprise, then, that after the Monday meeting in Brussels concluded, Erdogan took pains to stretch the truth and describe it as a major success.
Whatever happened to the provocateur, the pugnacious politician whose words and actions so frequently put him at odds with his neighbors and his allies? Where did that Erdogan go?
“America is back at the table,” President Joe Biden said at a press conference Sunday in Cornwall following his first G-7 summit. That statement perhaps best encapsulated Biden’s message during his maiden voyage overseas. While he didn’t mention his predecessor by name, the contrast with Donald Trump couldn’t have been clearer. And it certainly came as a relief to the other G-7 leaders, as the summit was mercifully free of temper tantrums and Twitter tirades.
The Biden administration released its strategy to counter domestic terrorism, detailing how the U.S. government plans to respond to the growing threat.
The strategy, the first of its kind, is comprised of four main pillars that each focus on a different aspect of the domestic terrorism threat.
Review could reshape cooperation with domestic agencies, consequences for troops’ social media posts, and more.
How do you define extremism? That’s one question the Defense Department is asking itself as it works to implement the first National Strategic for Countering Domestic Terrorism, released by the White House this week.
The European Union (EU) has adopted a new regulation that is designed to crack down on the dissemination of terrorist content online.
Despite safeguards to preserve freedom of speech, the new EU regulation is unlikely to curb potential tension with U.S. free-speech standards.
The new EU regulation can result in the imposition of financial penalties for non-compliance.
