International social workers group set to vote on expelling Israeli union for ‘not acting to promote peace’

JL;DR SUMMARY A vote by the International Federation of Social Workers is pending on whether to expel the Israeli Union of Social Workers over allegations of not promoting peace or seeking military service exemptions for its members. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
