Rent board votes in support of Palestinians facing evictions in Israel
It was a welcomed political statement by some but reviled by others who think the board overstepped its boundaries.

The Berkeley rent board passed a resolution condemning the Israeli government’s attempted eviction of Palestinians from land in Sheikh Jarrah.
The resolution, which the board approved this month, has been cheered by some as promising support of Palestinians, reviled by others who think the board is veering out of its lane by commenting on international policy. The ending of the resolution calls for the condemnation of Israel.
