Now, activists are pushing back against proposed cuts to the Office of the Independent Monitor and the Police Civilian Oversight Board. Those cuts are on the table even if voters say yes to a referendum this November, but the two oversight functions would be scrapped completely if the referendum fails.

Sabra, a U.S.-based company, sells one of the most common brands of hummus in the United States. The company is also listed in the Palestinian-led BDS movement, short for “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions.” That’s because the Strauss Group, which co-owns the company alongside PepsiCo, has supported the Israeli military.
