Question: What type of job did Ms. Harper have?

At night, when his mother went to her nursing jobs, a neighbor whose bedroom was directly below Mr. Harper-Mercer’s frequently heard him pacing until 3 or 4 in the morning, the neighbor said. She complained to her own family about the noise, but never mentioned it to Mr. Harper-Mercer or his mother.

Question: What style of beer typically falls in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 percent alcohol?

Defining “American lager” was difficult. American brewers like nothing better than bending and twisting beer styles, so vague terms like American lager bleed into more specific forms of lager like, say, pilsner. Our solution was to include golden and amber lagers, equivalent to German styles like Helles and Dortmunder, while excluding beers labeled pilsner. We also tried, not entirely successfully, to exclude lagers that used cereal adjuncts in the industrial style. As I said, it’s hard to be precise. Almost all were 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent alcohol.

Question: What does the food waste dilemma require?

Indeed food waste is a major environmental issue. Its implications are broad and complex, as our food system is deeply interconnected with our water and energy systems. When we throw out uneaten food, we throw out the resources that went into it, including water and energy. Crunch the numbers, and about 25 percent of all freshwater consumed every year in the United States is associated with discarded food. And about 2 percent of the American energy budget is thrown away every year as food waste, equivalent to the energy contained in 360 million barrels of oil. Tackling the food waste dilemma requires an all-hands-on-deck approach. The problem must be addressed at many points in the food chain, from farms to retailers, restaurants to municipalities, as well as at home. Local, state and federal governments can and should play an important role in reducing food waste.

Question: What is the name of the team that finished third in Lorient?

Team Abu Dhabi finished third in Lorient behind Team Vestas Wind, extending its overall lead in the race. Lessons learned from the Vestas team’s accident have been put into effect in the race, and navigational improvements will probably make their way to the average boater in the future. On Nov. 29, the boat was reaching nearly 20 miles per hour when it drove into the Cargados Carajos Shoals, an atoll 200 miles from Mauritius. The crew of nine was unhurt and left stranded on the reef. The stranded members were assisted by Team Alvimedica and were rescued after a harrowing night in breaking waves and razor-sharp coral.

Question: What is the name of the Princess?

The dancing is equally layered. When the six fairy godmothers arrive, there are passages in which they, their eight attendants and four of their cavaliers are all dancing at once, like three orchestral groups in harmony. (Two of the cavaliers don’t dance, so we also see how Petipa the classicist played number games with these choreographic groups of eight, six, four and two.) In Act I, when Princess Aurora’s maids of honor are dancing center stage, the eight violin pages, on the sides of the stage, are doing gargouillades — twinkling sideways jumps in which each foot writes a circle in the air.

Question: Where is the Federal Reserve located?

Here’s how to make sense of what is a truly global story, stretching from the streets of Shanghai, where stock investing has become a middle-class sport in recent years, to the oil fields of both the Middle East and Middle America, to the hallways of power in the Federal Reserve in Washington. The immediate cause of the outburst of global volatility was China, where the sharp drop in stocks on Monday continued a rout that has been underway — with periodic pauses because of government interventions — all summer.

Question: How much bacteria can live within the tubing of a duodenoscope?

A duodenoscope is a long, flexible tube with a tiny camera at the tip. It is typically inserted down the throat of an anesthetized patient to examine the very small ducts that drain the liver or gallbladder. The inner tubing is intricate and difficult to clean, and can harbor up to 10 billion individual bacteria, said William A. Rutala, an infection control specialist at University of North Carolina Hospitals. By contrast, a surgical forceps may have roughly 100 bacteria on its surface after use in the operating room, he said, and is easily cleaned with heat, detergents and high-pressure sprays.

Question: What big event did Johannsson play a big part in for his team?

Johannsson has played with the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar since 2013, scoring 38 goals in 84 games across all competitions. He will depart after having led the club to three important wins to end last season and propelling AZ into a surprising third-place finish that earned the team a place in the Europa League this season. On Tuesday, AZ announced that it had agreed to sell Johannsson’s rights to Werder Bremen. Johannsson still needed to agree to a contract and pass a physical; those could be completed as soon as Wednesday. “Once they came and were interested, it was a pretty easy choice, because obviously I want to play for a better team in a better league, and the Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world,” Johannsson said in a farewell interview posted online by AZ. “It’s a step in the right direction for me, and hopefully it will go well.” The move now makes Johannsson the only American forward likely to see regular minutes in one of Europe’s top leagues. Clint Dempsey was the last American to establish himself in an elite league; his best season was in 2011-12 with Fulham, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 23 over all.

Question: What is the main drag on banks' performance?

Of the world’s 12 largest banks, only Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs generated returns above their cost of capital last year, according to an analysis in Financial News by Roy Smith and Brad Hintz, professors at NYU Stern School of Business. Investment banking is the main drag on performance. The average return on equity produced by Goldman Sachs and the capital markets divisions of eight big American and European groups was 6.6 percent last year, according to Breakingviews calculations. That’s barely over half what McKinsey estimates is the industry’s long-term average 12 percent cost of capital. But the picture is not as bleak as it looks. Fines and settlements pulled down the figure. Exclude these and apply a 30 percent tax rate, and the combined return was just in double digits, at 10.7 percent.

Question: What does Ms. Sandberg say is the reason for doing nothing in minor arguments?

After all, as Ms. Sandberg pointed out in her book, without mentioning Ms. Slaughter, “the very concept … flies in the face of the basic laws of economics and common sense.” Toward the end of “Lean In,” Ms. Sandberg reviewed the social psychology literature around the tendency of women themselves in certain environments to perpetuate gender bias and recommended some ways to avoid falling into this trap. The institutional tendency to use minor disagreements among women as an excuse to do nothing, she argues, requires women to choose their battles carefully. “We should resolve our differences quickly, and when we disagree, stay focused on our shared goals. This is not a plea for less debate, but for more constructive debate,” Ms. Sandberg wrote. Based on Ms. Slaughter’s book, it would seem that persuading other powerful women to respond positively to Ms. Sandberg’s appeal is another piece of unfinished business.

Question: When did the Lawyers say that the Government's stance on Same-Sex Marriage change?

“It is perverse,” the Chadbourne & Parke brief said, “for the government to grant leave to enable a same-sex couple to travel to a state where they can legally marry, for the government to recognize that marriage as valid for however many more years the service member continues to serve, and then suddenly ignore that marriage as soon as the service member retires and obtains veteran’s status.” A federal appeals court in Washington is considering a challenge to that interpretation, but the Supreme Court’s decision in the four same-sex marriage cases to be argued next week, among them Obergefell v. Hodges, No. 14-556, may make the challenge moot.

Question: Who missed the exposed reef and what was his role?

It took a month for Vestas, the sponsor, to commit to rejoining the race. The decision was made to painstakingly remove the mangled boat from the reef and rebuild it in half the original build time at Persico Marine in Genoa, Italy. “We knew that our story could not end on that reef,” Morten Kamp Jorgensen, the team’s communications director, said in an interview this week. “We reshuffled our budgets and organization. This was a race to ensure that Vestas will be remembered as a team that overcame challenges.” An inquiry into the accident revealed that the navigator, Wouter Verbraak, had not zoomed in enough on the boat’s navigation system to see the exposed reef. Investigators found that “at different times the navigator zoomed in on the electronic chart and came to the same incorrect conclusion.” Since the inquiry, small changes have been made to the race’s rules. Officials have said there will be more.

Question: What is the meaning of Noreetuh in Korean?

Noreetuh has plenty of dishes for a successful first visit. Dinner will be particularly fun for wine lovers because Mr. Ahn has compiled an overachieving list of German rieslings, Burgundies in both colors, grower Champagnes and more far-flung treats. Better still, the prices are low; just by sticking to your budget, you can drink at a higher level than usual. Noreetuh may have a trickier time converting new diners into regulars, though. The two dining rooms, while tasteful enough, don’t have anything you could really call atmosphere. Noreetuh means “playground” in Korean, and the owners seem to want to give a party. But where did they find their DJ.? A Motown hit parade is followed by “Yellow Submarine,” and then by Taylor Swift, Natalie La Rose and, gosh, is that really Taylor Swift, twice in one night?

Question: Ms. Clyne wrote her program with what choreographer in mind?

Ms. Clyne’s attention to craft across different media is all the more noteworthy because she started out as a composer of electronic music — an intangible art form. Ms. Clyne, who was born in London, spoke about her creative process during a recent interview over tea and McVitie’s biscuits in her sunlit apartment in Brooklyn. To avoid becoming bogged down in habit and “tendencies,” she seeks out conversations across disciplines — whether in collaboration with choreographers and visual artists or, as in the case of the “Night Ferry” collages, with her own inner painter. “It was like a timeline,” she said of the seven panels, which each represented three minutes of music. “I knew I wanted it to have a very turbulent beginning. I’d paint that, and then I’d write it. It would keep me on track.” The Miller program includes “Fits and Starts,” for solo cello and electronics, which she wrote for the choreographer Kitty McNamee and in which an increasingly lyrical and impassioned cello line coalesces out of skittish and distorted beginnings. In a phone interview, Ms. McNamee described Ms. Clyne’s musical language as “very visual,” adding: “It has incredible tension and release, which is very helpful to me. It has great shape to it.”

Question: What year was she appointed interim sheriff?

Ms. Hennessy said that she did not see herself as an activist like Mr. Mirkarimi, but as more of an executive and administrator. “I’m open to ideas,” she said. “I don’t have to be the one to come up with them.” In 2008, she was appointed by Mayor Gavin Newsom, now the lieutenant governor of California, to be the director of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management, overseeing emergency response teams for the Police and Fire Departments.

Question: Which bank does investment analyst Terry Haines represent?

On Monday, Mrs. Clinton helped cause biotechnology stocks to fall after she posted on Twitter, criticizing “price gouging” in the drug market, specifically referring to one company’s sudden decision to raise the price of a 62-year-old drug to $750 a tablet from $13.50. (She repeated the story in Iowa on Tuesday.) The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index fell more than 4 percent on Monday on fears that government action to control pharmaceutical prices could be coming. On Tuesday, the index fell more modestly but had recovered somewhat by the end of the day. Wall Street analysts said that many of the proposals were unlikely to be enacted with Republicans controlling Congress, even if Mrs. Clinton became president. “Bottom line is, politically this doesn’t happen,” Terry Haines, Washington analyst for the investment bank Evercore ISI, told clients on a webcast.

Question: Why did Pascal Dupuis retire?

It never happened, thanks to a mix of injuries, bad luck and a handful of flameouts in the playoffs. The shine on one of hockey’s biggest success stories has dimmed. Dan Bylsma and Ray Shero, the coach and general manager who helped make the Penguins one of the league’s must-see attractions, are gone. Forward Pascal Dupuis, long the glue in a dressing room of diverse personalities, retired abruptly last week because of lingering health concerns. Defenseman Rob Scuderi, brought in more than two years ago to provide the blue line with some needed grit, became a pariah as his game deteriorated and was shipped off to Chicago on Monday night for Trevor Daley. The owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are shopping the club.

Question: What country has extradited persons for financial crimes?

Switzerland has extradited some people wanted for financial fraud by countries like Russia, despite criticism from human rights groups concerned that they would not receive a fair trial in their homeland. At the request of the United States, Switzerland arrested Yevgeny Adamov, the former head of the Russian atomic energy ministry, in 2005. But after a long tussle between Washington and Moscow, which then also sought his extradition on embezzlement charges, Switzerland sent Mr. Adamov back to Russia to stand trial, rather than to the United States.

Question: There is disagreement about what fact about Lillian Ross?

As talented as Gibbs was, his work was perhaps not destined to last. He did not, like Lillian Ross, have the freedom regularly to choose his subject matter. He was temperamentally a naysayer. By contrast, Ross, now in her 90s (there is some disagreement about her age), still maintains a sunny disposition and an interest in the youthful and the new. It is no disrespect to Gibbs to speculate that curiosity, a studied neutrality tinged with affection and facts carefully culled so as to capture the world in a moment of time may remain relevant longer than barbed, if canny and delightful, attitude.

Question: Who wrote the biography for Ty Cobb?

Cobb once beat up a teammate, the pitcher Ed Siever, continuing to punch him after he was probably already unconscious and then kicking him in the face. He went into the stands and severely assaulted a heckler who was missing seven fingers, having lost them in a workplace accident, even as surrounding spectators yelled, “He has no hands!” And consider: These incidents are recounted in Charles Leerhsen’s new biography, “Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty,” a book largely intended to rehabilitate its subject’s reputation. In writing this combination early-baseball history and legal brief, Leerhsen, a onetime editor at Sports Illustrated, has chosen a formidable reclamation project. Cobb’s image is not a fixer-upper; it’s a Superfund site.

Question: Bonobos compares where they ship orders and where they ship what?

Members of the so-called millennial generation, accustomed to online shopping, may share Mr. Wright’s opinion in greater number. Still, some e-commerce retailers like Bonobos see printed materials as having modern appeal across age groups and have embraced them. Craig Elbert, vice president for marketing at Bonobos, called them helpful for building relationships and for measuring effectiveness. “You know if you ultimately made a sale,” he said. “You know where you ship a catalog and where you ship your orders.”

Question: What does Francis do when discussing market based things that replace people who work?

He is relentlessly negative, on the other hand, when describing institutions in which people compete for political power or economic gain. At one point he links self-interest with violence. He comes out against technological advances that will improve productivity by replacing human work. He specifically condemns market-based mechanisms to solve environmental problems, even though these cap-and-trade programs are up and running in places like California. Moral realists, including Catholic ones, should be able to worship and emulate a God of perfect love and still appreciate systems, like democracy and capitalism, that harness self-interest. But Francis doesn’t seem to have practical strategies for a fallen world. He neglects the obvious truth that the qualities that do harm can often, when carefully directed, do enormous good. Within marriage, lust can lead to childbearing. Within a regulated market, greed can lead to entrepreneurship and economic innovation. Within a constitution, the desire for fame can lead to political greatness. You would never know from the encyclical that we are living through the greatest reduction in poverty in human history. A raw and rugged capitalism in Asia has led, ironically, to a great expansion of the middle class and great gains in human dignity.

Question: Which areas have devoted more spending on state-of-the-art high-speed trains?

The development of United States infrastructure, meanwhile, was centered on road transport. “In a way, it is a kind of historical accident,” Mr. Perkins said. “If you have the lines there already from an earlier period, you can just carry on supporting and improving them. “But putting that kind of rail access in retroactively is very expensive.” Their more consistent upkeep of rail systems has allowed European and Asian countries to devote a growing share of spending to state-of-the-art high-speed trains that run on dedicated rail lines fitted with sophisticated sensors and signal technology.

Question: What has happened to Davis's legacy?

Barnum surely would have admired the puffing necessary to transform an archtraitor into an American hero. The commanding poses struck by Davis in statues across the country are anxious correctives to depictions that troubled his followers long after the war’s end. Recent debates over relics of the Confederacy — in South Carolina, the United States Capitol, and elsewhere — only underscore how successful 150 years of revisionism can be. If Jefferson Davis manages to survive current efforts to remove him from several of his pedestals, his old antagonist would likely know why. “The American people,” Barnum famously said, “like to be fooled.”

Question: Who is the chief executive of Eaton Vance?

Thomas E. Faust Jr. does not come across as an industry disrupter. He is the chief executive of Eaton Vance, a midsize fund company in Boston that has carved out a solid yet unspectacular niche as a provider of investment funds and advice. But since last November, when his company won regulatory approval for a new fund vehicle that seeks to marry the best features of active and passive investing, Mr. Faust has been arguing that the mutual fund industry — or stock-picking funds at least — must either embrace his model or die.

Question: Who was convicted of tampering with a police investigation?

Updated 8:27 a.m. Good morning on this bright Tuesday. As Election Days in New York go, this year’s is pretty quiet: nothing statewide, no federal elections and several uncontested seats. But there are a few interesting races, and three seats in the State Legislature are open because their prior occupants left under a criminal cloud. • Thomas W. Libous, a Republican state senator, was convicted of lying to F.B.I. agents about his son’s hiring at a law firm. In today’s race for his Binghamton seat, the Republican candidate, Fred Ashkar, an undersheriff, leads the Democrat, Barbara Fiala, a former county executive, by 52 points. •  State Senator John L. Sampson, Democrat of Brooklyn, was convicted of trying to thwart a federal investigation. Roxanne Persaud, a Democratic assemblywoman, and Jeffrey Ferretti, a Republican real estate executive, are vying to replace him.

Question: What is the shortest name for the building that appears to be the topic of the reading?

The Stonewall is not architecturally distinguished and would not earn landmark status on aesthetic grounds, several speakers noted. The Stonewall was already part of the city-designated Greenwich Village Historic District, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. But speakers at the hearing said the individual city landmark designation was necessary to preserve the Stonewall and recognize its historic importance. “It must be protected against rapacious developers who would destroy the history of this sacred place and all it represents,” Letitia James, the city’s public advocate, said.

Question: What was tapped to perform the first musical number on Tonys broadcast

Gallows humor about being passed over by the Tony Awards has become a bit of a theme this year. The awards show, on June 7, opened with Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming teasing a producer, Harvey Weinstein, about the lack of nominations for his big Broadway adventure, “Finding Neverland,” and closed with Larry David and Jason Alexander in an extended riff on the lack of nominations for their show, “Fish in the Dark.” The producers of those shows can afford to make light of their losses because their productions are doing well financially. “Rotten!” was tapped to perform the first musical number on the Tonys broadcast, which helped spur ticket sales of more than $750,000 two days in a row, and “Rotten!,” “Neverland” and “Fish” have each been grossing more than $1 million a week — a strong performance for Broadway.

Question: How large was the promised lobster?

Our server pushed the $56 Lobster Maxime, calling it a signature entree and promising meat out of the shell from a one-and-a-half-pound lobster. What arrived, however — four morsels on a mound of sautéed spinach — was minuscule at best. To Orama’s credit, when I inquired about the skimpy portion, the manager offered to send us another dish with her compliments. The sea bass turned out to be the only worthwhile entree that evening. A 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon, one of Orama’s specialties, had too much visible fat to justify the $64 cost, and the rack of lamb special, while tender, lacked flavor.

To Orama’s credit, when I inquired about the skimpy portion, the manager offered to send us another dish with her compliments. The sea bass turned out to be the only worthwhile entree that evening. A 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon, one of Orama’s specialties, had too much visible fat to justify the $64 cost, and the rack of lamb special, while tender, lacked flavor.


Question: How many accidents since 1975?

The Midland crossing has been the site of 29 accidents since 1975, according to the railroad agency’s data. Two people have been killed and six more injured. The Metro-North Railroad crash last week, in which six people were killed when a train plowed into a sport-utility vehicle at a grade crossing in Westchester County, N.Y., cast renewed attention on the constantly lurking danger posed by the mixing of cars, trains and human nature at the tens of thousands of rail crossings across the country. Over the last week, reporters for The New York Times visited the 10 crossings that the railroad administration’s accident-prediction algorithm deems the most likely sites for crashes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — to examine their configurations and talk to people about the safety concerns.

Question: Which Amendment did defense lawyers argue barred superseding state laws by the federal government?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.

Question: How many deaths occurred after protesters attacked officers in Jaleswor?

The police opened fire after ethnic Madhesi protesters tried to set fire to government buildings, said Dipak Kaphle, a top functionary in the district of Mahottari, southeast of Kathmandu. A police official, Saurav Rana, said three of the deaths occurred in the town of Jaleswor after thousands of protesters with sticks and stones attacked officers, according to news agency reports. Since Aug. 10, 34 people have died in protests, including 10 police officials and a 2-year-old child, according to Nepal’s Ministry of Home Affairs. The Madhesis oppose the way provinces are being demarcated in the draft constitution and hope for new boundaries that will allow them to form majorities in two provinces. Another ethnic group, the Tharus, are pushing for their own province. Schools, markets and workplaces have been closed for nearly a month amid a general strike in much of the region. The country’s three major parties and Prime Minister Sushil Koirala have vowed to proceed with drafting the new constitution.

Question: Why did Newberg feel consideration for others as being unfair?

But the Southern Tier is not the only area with impoverished communities hoping that a casino, or any other initiative, would spur a reversal of fortunes. Some of them are now demanding equal treatment with the Southern Tier. Judith L. Kennedy, the mayor of Newburgh, 70 miles north of New York City, sent a letter on Tuesday expressing “strenuous objections” that her onetime industrial city had been excluded from consideration for a fourth casino license. The unemployment rate in Newburgh is 8.5 percent, a good deal higher than the Southern Tier. “We ask for a fair process that includes Newburgh where all proposals can be analyzed and vetted on the merits,” the letter said. The developers behind a proposed $640 million casino project on the grounds of the now-defunct Nevele resort in the Catskills also asked for equal consideration for the fourth license, which they say is the “last chance for Ellenville and for the iconic resort.” The developer told the Gaming Commission that it was negotiating with a strong company, RatPac Entertainment — a joint venture of Brett Ratner, a Hollywood producer, and James Packer, an Australian billionaire and casino operator — to take over the project.

Question: What historian wrote about the organization, National Front?

The first posters highlighted hostility to migrants — “Two Million Unemployed is Two Million Immigrants Too Many!” reads one from 1978. “Immigrants weigh on the economic life of our country,” Jean-Marie Le Pen told an interviewer that year — words that could have come from his daughter. “Immigration was its central theme,” writes the historian Valérie Igounet about the National Front’s early days. “Rejection of immigration, this is what it is has been for more than 40 years,” Laurent Bouvet, a political scientist who specializes in the National Front, said in an interview. “There’s this side of them, a hierarchy of civilizations.”

Question: How did Mara expected to get his message to Pierre-Paul?

To date, most of the communication between the Giants and Pierre-Paul has been by text messages. Mara said he had texted Pierre-Paul in the days after the accident. “He told me that this was a little bump in the road and that he would be back as good as ever,” Mara said. “I’m disappointed he’s not here because this is the best place for him. We have the best training staff in the league and have access to some of the best doctors in the world.” Mara conceded that he was speaking with reporters in an effort to get his message to Pierre-Paul. Mara said the Giants had had little contact with Pierre-Paul’s representatives. Asked what his primary message was to Pierre-Paul, Mara said, “Come home; we miss you.”

Question: Who did Syndergaard strike out twice?

Syndergaard appeared confident and collected early on. He struck out Jimmy Rollins twice — once swinging, on a 97-mile-per-hour fastball, and then looking, on a 99-m.p.h. fastball. He struck out Joc Pederson, another touted rookie, leaving him flailing at a curveball. He showed improved confidence in his off-speed pitches, using the Dodgers’ aggressiveness against them.

Question: How many bulbs does the chandelier have?

The restaurant is just as dramatic on the inside. A Swarovski crystal chandelier with 96 bulbs hangs above the circular staircase, separating the lounge and bar from the white-hued dining room, where there are floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining experience, however, wasn’t quite as grandiose. The service was pleasant but sloppy, and the pricey menu, while dotted with winners, also had a fair share of disappointments. This could be because Orama lost its original executive chef, John Piliouras, in September. Two chefs, Dongmin Lyu and Nazario Anselmo, both of whom had been working in the kitchen, took over for him. Orama, which opened last New Year’s Eve, is owned by Simeon Maximiadis, a former emergency room psychologist who went into managing steakhouses, and Stacey Christakos, his partner in both business and life. They spent millions renovating what had been a Japanese restaurant.

Question: What nation was occupying the Palestinian territory?

Two other American churches — the Episcopal Church and the Mennonite Church USA — were also debating Israeli divestment measures this week at their conventions. Last year, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved a resolution to divest from three companies that it said supplied Israel with equipment used in the occupation of Palestinian territory. With about 1.8 million members, the church remains the largest to endorse divestment at a churchwide convention. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his subordinates have called the B.D.S. movement a new form of terrorism to delegitimize Israel. Supporters of the movement, including a growing number of American Jews, have called such criticism a scaremongering and divisive tactic meant to thwart legitimate debate about the Israeli occupation of lands seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Representatives of Jewish Voice for Peace, an advocacy group based in Oakland, Calif. that has endorsed the B.D.S. movement, attended the United Church of Christ meeting as observers. They said they welcomed the boycott resolution and described it as a reflection of growing impatience with what they called Israel’s intransigence.
