The Beverly Hills City Council unanimously adopted a resolution at its Aug. 18 regular meeting condemning recent anti-Zionist incidents at universities in Los Angeles. The resolution comes at a time of rising anti-Semitism both domestically and globally and joins a host of other moves over the years by the Council expressing solidarity with Israel against anti-Semitism.
“This council has taken a very strong stance against Jew hatred,” said Councilmember John Mirisch, who asked to place the resolution on the agenda in response to a recent incident at the University of Southern California (USC).
