The House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a measure disavowing a United Nations resolution that condemned Israel’s settlement activities, in a rare show of bipartisan force that doubled as a rebuke to President Barack Obama’s approach to the U.S.-Israel relationship.
Excerpts from Resolution:
(1)(G): the United States Government should oppose and veto future United Nations Security Council resolutions that seek to impose solutions to final status issues, or are one-sided and anti-Israel;…
(2) the House of Representatives opposes United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 and will work to strengthen the United States-Israel relationship, and calls for United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 to be repealed or fundamentally altered…
Excerpts from Engel’s speech:
“Mr. Speaker, throughout its entire history, the state of Israel has never gotten a fair shake from the United Nations. Year after year after year, member states manipulate the UN to bully our ally Israel, to pile on with one-sided resolutions placing all of the blame for the ongoing conflict on Israel.
“We saw a resolution like this come before the Security Council a few weeks ago, and today the House of Representatives will go on record saying that that UN resolution is wrong, plain and simple. And frankly we should not have voted for that.
“The Security Council resolution is highly critical of Israel, yet asks nothing directly of the Palestinians. That’s biased, that’s unfair, that’s not balanced and, again, we should have opposed it. We should have vetoed it.
“And the language about Jerusalem is not new, but it remains deeply offensive to Jews whose holiest site lies on the Temple Mount in East Jerusalem. The Kotel, the holy Western Wall, is simply not occupied territory, and it’s offensive to hear that.

Beachwood place has implemented a Parental Guidance Required program that will begin this weekend. The program will require visitors under 18 years old to be accompanied by a parent or someone at least 21 years old.
The program is being implemented in response to a seemingly planned security incident two weeks ago that included reports of gunshots and led to the mall being on lockdown.
When in operation, the new plan seems fairly strict. However, it’s only in place Fridays and Saturdays from after 5pm.
Mazel Tov to Cub Scout Yeshaiah Mordechai Hersh for earning his Maccabee
religious emblem on the first night of Chanukkah, 5777! Yeshaiah enjoys
incorporating his deep love of Judaism into the patriotic values and
useful life skills that scouting offers. The Hersh family is enjoying
much nachas from this young man!

Posted on the Beachwood, OH Facebook page:
The following is a statement from BPD re: this evening’s disturbance at Beachwood Place. The mall was re-opened and there were no injuries.
Shortly after 6:30pm, sizable groups of juveniles began causing a large-scale disturbance at Beachwood Place Mall. The disturbance appears to have been loosely organized on social media. Beachwood police and mall security were able to disperse the juveniles and remove them from the mall. There were no injuries reported. One male juvenile was arrested for attempting to strike an officer that was dealing with another disorderly patron. There were no further arrests.
One report of gun shots being fired was quickly determined to be unfounded. Officers from nearby jurisdictions responded to assist to help disperse juveniles in the parking lot.
After a short period of being closed, the mall re-opened for the rest of the evening without incident.
8:21pm
Most of Beachwood Place said to be cleared of shoppers, employees.
8:09pm
Cleveland.com reporting that it was a fight that was broken up with pepper spray. Nevertheless, many calls reported it as “Shots fired”.
8:03pm
From Melissa Reid, Fox 8, on twitter “#Beachwood Police tell me no active gunman, no shots fired, however the mall is closed for the rest of the night due to this disturbance.”
8:00pm
Source: “NO shots fired no major injuries”
7:30pm
Multiple K9 units, rescue units and mutual aid from other municipalities on scene.
7:28pm
It does not SEEM like an active shooter situation. That is my own opinion based on the police scanner.
Mall is on lockdown.
From the Beachwood Police scanner: There are shoppers that are still locked down inside the stores with employees.
7:16pm
Details are not clear.
