June 14, 2016 - Orlando and Sarona; Netanyahu in Moscow
Q. The Sarona (Tel Aviv) and Orlando terrorist attacks have provoked a

A. Both attacks were perpetrated by young men acting apparently as

A. ...the Russian military presence in Syria not far from the
Syrian-Israeli border requires constant coordination at the tactical level...

laws.
"My impression is that it's been pretty much a wall-to-wall consensus," said Lara
Friedman of Americans for Peace Now, referring to her Presidents Conference
colleagues.
