"the UAE owns the essex house in manhattan, I pass by it every week, they even rebadged the sign with some arabic name - I don't see any protestors out in front asking congress to divest them of it."
Is the Essex House a security risk?
no, that's why no one cares that the UAE owns it. if they would stick to buying hotels and casinos, and stay away from security related infrastucture and defense contractors - we would all be OK.
