The initial anti-Israeli reaction began with a self-styled investigative journalist’s blog in the United States but gained more prominence on the Al Jazeera website in a column written by a former Israeli. The American blog of Wayne Madsen, who says he is a former U.S. military analyst, wrote that Breivik has been a “supporter of

Few people have heard the name Morris Bailey and that's the way he likes it. A deeply humble man, Bailey is the kind of entrepreneur who shuns the public limelight and would prefer to engage in mega-business deals anonymously if it were at all possible. This time around, however, his very public purchase of Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey has tongues wagging. t 72, Mr. Bailey is no stranger to the world of high-stakes risk taking. His recent equestrian acquisition comes on the heels of his purchase of the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City last year in which he and partner Dennis Gomes, (a former Nevada casino regulator credited with helping drive the mob out of Las Vegas), plunked down a cool $35 million. The nation's first casino outside Nevada, "Resorts" proved to be tremendously profitable when it first opened its doors back on May 26, 1978, but in the ensuing years Resorts' share of the market plunged due to the increased competition generated by the opening of other casinos.

ISRAEL DETAINS WEAPONS SHIP CROSSING DEAD SEA FROM JORDAN TO P.A. Israel thwarted a weapons smuggling attempt from Jordan to Palestinians in the West Bank via the Dead Sea, Israeli military sources said. he motor boat was filled with AK-47 assault rifles, magazines and additional weaponry, AFP reported. The two men aboard the boat were apprehended. It has not been confirmed whether they are of Palestinian or Jordanian origin. The Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, is considered “dead” because of its extremely high concentration of salinity. It forms a natural 43-mile border between Jordan and Israel. The two countries signed a peace

Military experts are looking into what type of boat the smugglers used that could sustain the high rates of salinity.
Weapons smuggling has been a persistent concern for Israel. Hamas and Hezbollah, Iranian proxies from the south and north, respectively, have smuggled tons of weapons and ammunition by land, air and sea in recent year. On March 15, Israel seized a Liberianflagged ship, Victoria, which was carrying weapons of Iranian origin destined for terrorist groups in Gaza. Israel was performing routine security operations when it discovered the ship that was smuggling the weapons to Hamas-controlled Gaza. The ship allegedly left from Turkey and was sailing to Egypt, although intelligence officials believe the ship was originally organized by Syria.

ERDOGAN TRIES TO EXTORT ISRAEL, AGAIN TURKISH PM RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN IS TRYING TO EXTORT AN ISRAELI APOLOGY OVER THE 2010 GAZA FLOTILLA WITH DIPLOMATIC THREATS BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is considering downgrading diplomatic relations with Israel, the Hurriyet newpaper reported Monday. escribing the move as "Plan B," the paper said Erdogan would downgrade the level of Turkey's diplomatic staff in Israel if Israel continues to refuse to apologize for the deaths of 9 Turkish nationals aboard the Mavi Marmara during the 2010 Gaza Flotilla. The nine Turks were killed by Israeli forces when they attempted to lynch members of Israel's Shayatet-13, or naval commando, when they boarded the Mavi Marmara in accordance with international
D
maritime law. Israel has said it will only 'express regret' for the loss of life. On Sunday, Erdogan said that he still expects a full apology from Jerusalem, "We will wait for the Israelis' decision a certain period. If they don't apologize by this time we shall move to plan B." According to Hurriyet, "Plan B" means cooling down relations with Israel. One of the most significant steps will be downgrading the level of Turkey's embassy staff in Israel. Ankara recalled its ambassador following last year's flotilla event. It is also possible Turkey will not approve an Israeli ambassador to replace Gaby Levy. On Sunday, Hurriyet reported that the Palmer Report has ruled that IDF soldiers boarded the ship with "the intent to kill,' despite the fact that the commandos were
armed with less-than-lethal pneumatic guns with live fire being employed only after the lynching attempt was underway. Hurriyet's claim is spurious as the Palmer Report's publication was delayed until August due to Israel and Turkey's inability to agree on the final wording of the report, including Turkey's insistence it include the phrase 'intent to kill.' Recent drafts of the report, however, did conclude Israel's arms embargo on Gaza – and the decision to board the Mavi Marmara to enforce it – are legal under international law. Observers suggest Erdogan's second attempt to extort an apology from Israel is based on his frustration with the Palmer Report, which does not support Turkey's - or Hurriyet's - version of events.

HAMAS EXECUTES TWO ARABS FOR ‘COLLABORATING’ WITH ISRAEL Hamas again resorted to executions by hanging to punish two Gaza Arabs for allegedly collaborating with Israel. he executions are legal under Palestinian Authority law. The Hamas Interior Ministry announced the executions after appeals were rejected for convic-
T
tions handed down in 2004. Human rights activists have not commented on the executions. Earlier this year, a Hamas firing squad executed one man convicted for helping Israel, and three others are on death row. The IDF routinely relies on collaborators
for information on the location of terrorists, smuggling tunnels and weapon storerooms. The Palestinian Authority law allows a death sentence for the offenses of collaborating with Israel, murder and drug trafficking, but execution orders must be signed by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, whom de facto
Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh does not recognize. Abbas also has previously approved executions, mainly for the crime of selling property to Jews, an offense punishable by death from the time of the Jordanian occupation of most of Judea and Samaria.
QADAFFI SWITCHES TO OFFENSE AS WESTERN STANCE SOFTENS Wikimedia CommonsForces loyal to strongman Muammar Qadaffi unleashed a fierce assault on a rebel stronghold in the mountains of western Libya, a former Libyan general told Reuters on Friday. he offensive, described as the largest Qadaffi has launched against the rebels to date, began at dawn Thursday, the former general said. He now commands rebels in Zintan, using the name Hajj Usama. Qaddafi's forces simultaneously attacked Thursday on three fronts, Hajj Usama said -to the north of Zintan, firing Grad rockets into the eastern part of the nearby town of Rayayna, and attacking to the southeast and to the east of Zintan. The Qadaffi force consisted of about 150 infantry supported by some 40 vehicles including the rocket launchers. Zintan lies about 90 miles southwest of the capital, Tripoli, at the eastern tip of a 170-mile ribbon of rebel-held mountains that stretch westward from the Tunisian border. The region has been the site of back-andforth fighting between Qadaffi and rebel forces over the past month. After decades in the Libyan army, including a tour of duty in neighboring Chad, Usama said he now despises his former commander in chief, whom he called a terrorist. "He's never used infantry like this," said the trim, gray-bearded rebel commander. In previous battles, Hajj Usama said, Qadaffi's
T
artillery forces had taken over nearby civilian housing in Zuwail al Bagul and shelled from a distance. In response, Hajj Usama said he dispatched hundreds of fighters to cut off Qaddafi's advance. As of Friday night, one rebel was dead and three were wounded, one of them critically, he said. Some of the fighters who returned late Friday from the front lines -- crammed into the backs of pickup trucks -- appeared to be school-age. They carried only a handful of weapons, a few hunting rifles and old, boltaction shotguns. Nevertheless, Hajj Osama said, "they are keen and determined to fight for their freedom." Since the raids began, Hajj Usama said, he has lost contact with rebels in Rayayna

Rick Perry Will Give the Republicans a Heavy Hitter for 2012 After months of tantalizing hints, Texas Governor Rick Perry is going to toss his hat into the ring next month. This will provide a sense of relief to Republican voters because a Perry candidacy provides them with a candidate who must be taken seriously (the last two Republican presidents were Texan) and can arouse a degree of enthusiasm. ormer Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney could make a claim for administrative competence, but failed to excite the Republican base. His support of a healthcare solution,during his term as Massachusetts governor, that seemed to resemble Barack Obama's program was a liability. While former governors – Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have won their party's nomination, they had left office relatively recently. Mitt Romney has not held executive office for 6 years. Even if he has an excellent
record, it is more for the history books and less in the voters consciousness. Rick Perry is the nation's longest serving governor and he is still in office. Minnesota Representative Michele
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Demands Anti-Israel Actions The Organization of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has called for Gaza's land crossing with Egypt to be fully opened to both individuals and goods. urrently only the movement of individuals is being allowed across the border as well as goods that have not been arbitrarily banned by Israeli authorities. In a statement released by the Brotherhood, it said that in light of Israel having prevented the freedom flotilla from reaching Gaza, "We ought to blame ourselves before blaming Israel" and called for a "shake up in the policy of humiliation and dependence followed by ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, through Egypt assuming the responsibility to break the siege and protect Gaza."

Texas Governor Rick Perry is going to run for U.S. president. Bachmann did cause a stir amongst the Republican base, but she too carries a major liability: The Republicans have harped on President Obama's lack of administrative experience prior to his election. They claim that Obama was unprepared for high office. Michele Bachmann may have run her own business but this does not compare with running a mammoth state like Texas. If Perry gets the nomination, the Democrats most will most assuredly find weak points in his stewardship, but Perry can take pride in the fact that Texas has generated the most jobs since 2009 – a major selling point in a country flirting with double digit unemployment. The Texas Governor has enough of a record to rally social and economic conservatives. He is pro-life and he signed a law in Texas enshrining traditional marriage. Economically he cut state spending. While conservatives can feel confident with him, he does not scare off moderates. His response to the New York State law that

The statement described the Western attitude to the Israeli interception of the Dignity and its detention of those aboard as a 'huge crime' asserting that Israel was a 'pampered friend' of the West. The statement also denounced the 'French silence' regarding an attack against a ship flying a French flag and carrying a number of French citizens.

TEL AVIV WILL BE BOMBED IN NEXT GAZA WAR, SAYS MINISTER VILNAI BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU Metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israel’s finance and commercial center, will be bombed by missiles n the next Gaza war, warns Home Front Minister Matan Vilnai. n the next conflict with Gaza, even if it at a much lower intensity than a war, missiles will fall on Gush Dan for all purposes, inside Tel Aviv," Vilnai said at an international defense conference in metropolitan Tel Aviv. Intelligence officials have warned for more than two years that the Hamas terrorist regime in Gaza has smuggled missiles that can reach far beyond southern Israel, which was targeted nearly three years ago, before and during the counterterrorist Operation Cast Lead campaign. Hamas and other terrorist groups have at least 10,000 missiles and rockets, according to military intelligence estimates. Advanced weapons are smuggled, in whole or in parts for assembly, enter Gaza from Iran, often via Sudan. Vilnai said that Israel is improving its defense capabilities against missiles, and referred to bomb shelters and missile interceptors as well as retaliatory measures. Citing Israel’s tiny area, he said, "There is no country in the world that is threatened like

We realized that the Al-Karama captain was lying. He lied to the Greek authorities on his voyage route, changing it midway from Egypt to the Gaza port,” said Brig. Gen. Mordechai. Brig. Gen. Mordechai described the successful, peaceful boarding of the Al-Karama, which was then towed Ashdod port.

The Israel Navy is steadfast in its commitment to lawfully enforce the maritime security blockade on the Gaza Strip.

Israel jumped from last year’s 53rd ranking to number 23, out of 101 countries. In 2000, Israel enjoyed the 11th spot, and the decline in recent years caused some panic in the Education Ministry, which was concerned that Israelis children are learning less than they did in the past. Education Minister Gideon Sa’ar lauded the Israeli team’s instructor, Lev Radislevsky, telling him. "You represented Israel honorably and reached impressive achievements." Saar added that "Israel's accomplishments in future Olympiads will only grow” due to the renewed emphasis on learning and preparation for the Olympiad.

NETANYAHU'S HOUSING PLAN AIMS TO DEFUSE OPPOSITION BY AMIEL UNGAR At a news conference Tuesday morning at 11 AM Israel time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, with finance Minister Yuval Steinitz at his side, acknowledged the seriousness of the housing crisis and announced practical plans for alleviating it. etanyahu announced a plan that would primarily benefit young couples, students and discharged soldiers. This immediately provoked opposition from leaders of the protest movement who claimed that the program was being selective in terms of its beneficiaries. The leaders have an obvious political agenda, so this was expected, but the housing shortage for purchase and rental, as well as spiraling prices for both, are real problems that did not start with Netanyahu, but have gotten worse during his term of office. According to the Prime Minister, the major problem is the cumbersome bureaucracy, starting with the Israel Lands Authority that monopolizes Israeli real estate resources and ending with the tortuous path towards getting housing permits.

S P O N S O R E D B Y:
Netanyahu started his term of office with a plan for changing the situation which became bogged down in bureaucratic and Knesset altercations, but the National Housing Commission Law, in preparation from before the protest, will circumvent most of the bureaucracy once it is passed. The Prime Minister promised to streamline the process and called for a crash program for 50,000 new apartments within a year and a half under an emergency decree for that period. The government would also encourage use of the current housing stock in the periphery by lowering the cost of public transportation to the center of the country where most of the jobs and universities are. 10,000 apartments would be allocated for rental housing at reasonable prices in order to drive down the price of apartment rentals. Minister of Finance Yuval Steinitz (Likud), who found himself under attack, promised to zero in on the empty apartments many of which are used for offices or bought by overseas absentee owners. His ministry plans to cut down the exemption on real estate tax for empty apartments to 6 months in order to encourage their owners to rent them.

Israel, not ‘Jerusalem’ as Country of Birth
As Flotilla Fizzles, Israelis Give Activists the Boot All 15 foreigners aboard the Gazabound French yacht, Dignité-Al Karama, which was intercepted by the Israeli Navy last Tuesday, were to be sent back to their home countries by late Wednesday, an Israeli Ministry of Interior spokesman told local media.
The case of Menachem Zivotofsky v. Secretary of State Clinton (No. 10-699) will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in November 2011 and decided by the end of June 2012.. At issue is the right of a Jerusalem-born American citizen to self identify as born in “Israel” on his or her U.S. passport. or more information about the case, and to express your support please visit www.borninjerusalem.org, a website set up by The National Council of Young Israel and the International Israel Allies Caucus Foundation. At www.borninjerusalem.org you can: 1. Learn more about the case of Menachem Zivotofsky v. Secretary of State. 2. Send a letter to your U.S. Senators and Congressional Representatives urging them to sign an amicus brief that will be filed on August 5, 2011 in support of Zivotofsky on behalf of Members of Congress. 3. Add your voice to the case. If you are an American citizen born in Jerusalem who wishes to have your place of birth recorded on your U.S. passport as “Israel,” please go to www.borninjerusalem.org and join the adhoc Association of Proud American Citizens Born in Jerusalem, Israel. The AntiDefamation League, together with the law firm of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., is preparing an amicus brief to be filed in the Zivotofsky case on behalf of the ADL and the Association. It is a general rule for American citizens born abroad that their U.S. passports list their country of birth as their place of birth? The only mandatory exception is for American citizens born in Jerusalem. The U.S. Department of State refuses to list “Israel” as the place of birth for American citizens born in Jerusalem because it claims that doing so would interfere with the President’s authority to “recognize foreign sovereigns.” Instead the State Department lists “Jerusalem” as the

The blockade is aimed at thwarting weapons smuggling to Gaza. Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement said the Dignite-Al Karame had previously declared Alexandria, Egypt, as its destination so it could slip out of Greece, and then changed its route to Gaza, saying it was a legal move. Naval commandos who boarded the craft met with no resistance, and then sailed the vessel to Ashdod Port, where the passengers and crew were detained, pending their expulsion.

The State Department permits citizens born in Jerusalem or elsewhere in Israel before 1948 to list their place of birth as “Palestine.” Citizens born in the territories after 1948 have “West Bank” or “Gaza Strip” as their place of birth even though no American President has ever recognized such sovereigns. In addition, the State Department permits American citizens born in a city that is within the recognized boundaries of Israel such as Tel Aviv or Haifa to substitute the city of their birth if the person “object[s] to showing Israel . . . as their birthplace in the passport.” In other words, those who wish to remove “Israel” from their U.S. passports may go against the general rule and list their city of birth instead of their country of birth. But those born in Jerusalem who prefer that their passports follow the general rule (and list their country of birth as the place of birth) may not list “Israel” on their passports. In 2002, Congress passed a law to rectify this inequity. The law required the State

Cabinet Approves Construction of International Airport at Timna The Israeli Cabinet, approved the construction of a new international airport at Timna. The decision follows last week's meeting with Eilat Mayor Yitzhak Halevy and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's instructions to a ministerial team on the development of Eilat. he airport will replace Eilat's current airport and will thus promote the economic progress of the city by freeing up land for tourism, commerce and housing. Following the decision, civilian use of the airport at Ovda will be halted. According to the plan, the Airports Authority will finance the construction of the airport and will operate it. The cost of the project is estimated at approximately NIS 1.6 billion. Estimated construction time is approximately three years from the start of work. An estimated 1.5 million passengers are forecast to use the airport, approximately
T

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the decision to move Eilat's airport outside the city, which has not been dealt with for years, is part of a comprehensive plan to develop of Eilat and jump it forward. "This airport, which the Government recommends be named after Ilan and Assaf Ramon, will be an alternative to Ben-Gurion International Airport and the airport in Eilat. It will free up considerable land in Eilat, provide a solution for the expansion of Eilat and prevent noise and other pollution in the city. In other words, this is a very important decision. It is part of the steps we are taking to change Eilat and the Negev, including laying a railway to Eilat and widening the Aravah road. We are also checking on the possibility of moving the Eilat port. All of these things are really changing the face of reality in Eilat and the south of the country," the Prime Minister said.

Breivik commended Israel for not giving most of the Muslims who live under its control civil rights, as opposed to the various European countries. He also praised Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for including the Yisrael Beiteinu and Shas parties in his coalition. Breivik also quoted a series of Israeli professors such as Itamar Rabinovich and Eyal Zisser in the document. He also specifically

Islamists Reject Western Aid for Starving Somalians Newspapers, ministers of various governments, UN Secretary-General Ban KiMoon, assorted UN agencies as well as NGOs are all pleading for assistance to drought-stricken Somalia. ver two million people are reported to be facing starvation. The money and the food may be raised, but the problem is that the most afflicted area is controlled by the Al-Shabab guerrillas whose objective is to impose Moslem Sharia law on Somalia. While the Red Cross and UNICEF have sporadically managed to deliver aid in areas controlled by the organization, other groups such as the World Food Program have fared worse. The WFP has lost many aid workers in the Civil War fighting since 2008.

The Saudi-Egyptian bridge would be the first time Arab states in North Africa would have a direct road link with Arab states in the Middle East since the establishment of Israel in 1948. News that Egypt and Saudi Arabia plan to build a bridge spanning the Red Sea made the rounds late last week, despite Egyptian officials in Saudi Arabia denying approval of the project stating the issue had not been addressed, directly or indirectly, during any meetings between the two sides. ccording to one Egyptian official, “there are priorities more important to Egypt under the circumstances, and such a project requires an agreement in principle of the demarcation of the maritime boundary between the two countries in this vital and complex region.” According to German news source, Der Spiegel, officials at the Egyptian Ministry of Transportation finally approved plans to build a bridge that has been under discussion since 1988. Egyptian Prime Minister Sharaf, allegedly placed General Abdul Aziz, chairman of the Arab Road Association, in charge of overseeing the project. The bridge is projected to cost about $5 billion and would span 32 kilometers across the Strait of Tiran from Ras Nasrani, near the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, to Ras Hamid in northwestern Saudi Arabia. The bridge would bolster both countries’ tourist and trade industries by creating a new route for trade, tourists and pilgrims.

to build homes in Jerusalem. He has no right or authority to tell the Jewish people what to do." Advising the President to vent his rancor at those nations that are adversarial to the United States, he said, "Go tell Iran, China and Russia what to do. Israel is not a vassal state of the United States. It is free to determine their borders and their destiny. They are free to retaliate against anyone who attacks
Receiving numerous standing ovations and thunderous applause, FOX television personality Glenn Beck told an audience of over 5,000 gathered at the Christians United For Israel (CUFI) national summit in Washington that if the pernicious trends in global anti-Semitism culminate in another genocide "then count me as a Jew, and come for me first." Beck delivered these remarks as part of his keynote address at "The Night to Honor Israel" gala banquet at organization's sixth annual convocation on Tuesday evening, February 19. aving just returned from a trip to Israel where he addressed the Knesset Committee on Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs at the invitation of Deputy Knesset Speaker Danny Danon, Beck opened his speech by announcing his donation of $10,000 to the "CUFI On Campus" student organization that battles anti-Israel propaganda on hundreds of college and university campuses across America. Referencing his emotional trip to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, he stated his oft-repeated belief that the inherent rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and those delineated in the Declaration of Independence were a mandatory requirement for the prevention of evil of this magnitude from occurring. "The founding fathers had the answer 150 years before Hitler showed up," he said, but reminded his audience that for two millennia, the Jewish people were not accorded those rights in the countries in which they resided. Until the modern State of Israel was established in 1948, he said the Jews "have had no home base" and added that "this is why the nation of Israel is vital." Recalling

Glenn Beck speaking at the CUFI Conference. the painful history of the Jewish nation, he declared, "They have been smeared. They have been maligned. But to our shame as human beings most of all, they have been forgotten in times of need." Speaking directly to the Jewish people he said, "No one can protect your rights better than you. To rely on others is to ensure economic slavery at best, and death camps at worse." Spotlighting the existential siege that the Jewish state finds herself under by the looming Iranian nuclear threat and the forces of radical Islam in the Middle East and throughout the world, Beck concluded his address by issuing stern warnings to the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people that "times have changed" and the Jews would no longer stand alone in any potential confrontation. "This is still America 2011. We are not the Christians of the Crusades. We are Christians United For Israel," he declared.
Reiterating Glenn Beck's sentiments was Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of Christians United For Israel who also delivered an impassioned address. "Mr. Ahmadinejad: Do not threaten the people of Israel and the people of America", he said. Citing those miscreants throughout history who have sought to eradicate the Jewish people, he noted, "Look at Pharaoh of Egypt and Haman of Persia in the story of Purim and you will have some idea of G-d's punishment for you." Quoting Winston Churchill who said, "Courage is the first of qualities; courage is everything," Pastor Hagee exhorted his acolytes to "dare to be yourself in the face of adversity; to have the courage to admit the truth." Acting on his words Pastor Hagee then declared, "President Obama is not proIsrael and he has broadcast that around the world. President Obama has told Israel not

Taking on those who have attempted to revise the Jewish narrative with statements geared towards separating the Jewish people from their religious and historical connection to the land of Israel, Pastor Hagee said, "We are still one nation under G-d, and it was Gd who gave the land of Israel to Abraham and it belongs to the Jewish people forever. The Jewish people are not occupying this land; they own this land."

WAR ON TERROR

WAR ON TERROR ESSAY BY SOMALI TERRORIST BOASTS OF WESTERN RECRUITS the pleasures of the United Kingdom," Maqdishy writes, about a young man who became a military leader on the battlefront. "He decided to seek the pleasure of Allah, and His Majesty's [Allah's] appreciation for his struggle, thus he migrated to the SomaliJihadi arena, got trained, fought and then got killed in the service of his Most Beloved; Allah, the Glorified and the Exalted." The document points out that the group hasn't just drawn young people. "Another pioneer on that day was a father of three kids in his forties who was a member in my battalion. He left his comfortable life in America only to start another life in the Everlasting One." The group has also attracted nonWesterners and others outside the Somali Diaspora. "A well respected Recitor of
An al-Shabaab fighter has revealed new details about Americans and foreigners fighting for the Somali terrorist organization. A recently released essay shows that the group's idealistic selfimage hasn't just attracted young Americans, but has crossed the boundaries of nationality and age. ome of the members in our battalion migrated from as far as Australia, while others left the comfort lives of London and Minneapolis. Some were as old as sixty years, others barely reached eighteen," says al-Shabaab fighter Abu Yaser al-Maqdishy in "The Path of Departures – Reminiscing [about] the Martyrs of Somalia." The document has also attracted some negative attention in jihadi forums, particularly when jihadists became aware about a Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) update about the essay. One writer in the popular Somali forum alqimmah.net thanked the writer of the document "for all the efforts you put in to support our Omah [nation/Ummah]." But he reminded readers that "the Kuffar [disbelievers] are out there, so be careful in your steps," a caution for the writer not to reveal too much about the group's recruitment efforts. The essay is primarily oriented at recruit-
“S
ing replacement fighters for al-Shabaab, which has suffered extensive losses to defection and running battles with government forces. Like many al-Shabaab materials, it uses the voice of a warrior to promote the
glories of battle, as well as the group's ultimate goal of establishing a new Islamic Caliphate. "You my dear believer might be that very person whom we are searching for. Due to the difficult state that our Ummah is facing, any contribution for Jihad and Mujahideen to stop the attacks of our enemies is vital," Maqdishy says. Recruitment efforts play on the idea of defending Muslims and promoting the Caliphate idealized version of society. Coming from high-ranking American recruits like Omar al-Hammami, an alShabaab leader who is heavily involved in recruitment and military training, the calls to violence have helped increase recruitment. Al-Shabaab has been at the forefront of jihadi recruiting in the West, even in comparison to branches of al-Qaida. The organization's recruitment of Americans will be the subject of the third hearing on radicalization in America's Muslim community to be convened by U.S. Rep. Peter King on July 27. On Monday, 26-year-old Minneapolis man Omer Abdi Mohamed pled guilty to being one of the group's American recruiters, helping raise money and arrange travel to allow several men to join al-Shabaab's ranks. More than 20 young men from the Minneapolis area are believed to have gone to Somalia to join al-Shabaab's jihad. Recent reports by a Kenyan journalist indicate another wave of recruits may have left the American Midwest for the impoverished and war-torn African country. Somali youth and aspiring jihadists have also come from as far as Sweden, Canada, Kenya, and Denmark. According to Maqdishy, it's the creed of jihad and dying for honor that has brought Muslim men and women from all over the world. "This is made possible by a creed deeply rooted in the heart of every believer and fighter for the sake of Allah," he says. "It is a creed that convinces its carriers' that since death is imminent and sooner or later everyone shall taste it, then why not die with the honor of martyrdom while serving the Religion of the Most High?!" It's a belief that appears to resonate with many, particularly young male members of the Somali Diaspora. "One of them was a teenage brother who left the opportunity of enjoying his youth in

"All of those and many more before and after them, paved a way for the generations behind them, a Jihadi way of life, full of martyrdoms, of which I refer to in this essay as 'The Path of Departures'." The essay's bravado belies al-Shabaab's recent extensive losses. The group's extremist interpretation of Islam has prompted large-scale defections and animosity from the local population. Al-Shabaab's violent practices against wavering members and supposed criminals have led to high levels of desertion. Replacing local recruits with international ones represents a long-term strategy, and has drawn dozens of Western and East African fighters. The document appeals to English-speaking youth to keep the organization functioning, and to become its next great leaders. "As we have lost some of our revered brothers, leaders and scholars in the last decade due to the barbaric new wave of crusaders, and while many of their positions are covered, their replacements are greatly needed," Maqdishy says. "We firmly believe and we are convinced by history again and again that despite these losses of great men, even greater leaders are made in the battlefields for the coming future." Those who are not willing to join the battle are encouraged to invite their friends and to give money. "Never sit idle! Read and write, and spread everything that relates to our Jihad. Learn, train and attain all that can be of assistance to our honorable cause of raising the banner of "La ilaha illa Allah [There is no god but Allah]."

New U.S. Ambassador Crocker: No Rush for Exit from Afghanistan The new U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, says the United States is not rushing to leave Afghanistan, nor is it interested in having permanent bases in that country. yan Crocker made the comment during his swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul Monday. About 33,000 American troops are set to leave Afghanistan by September of next year, as Afghan forces begin taking control of their country's security. Last week, NATO completed the first phase of transitioning the security of Afghanistan to local forces. In his speech Monday, Crocker acknowledged that many citizens of troop-contributing nations are weary of war. But he also stressed the “incalculable long-term effects and cost of getting it wrong.” The U.S. ambassador vowed that the international community will not allow the Taliban to regain power in the country after 2014, when most foreign combat forces are set to leave Afghanistan. Crocker reopened the U.S. Embassy in Kabul after U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban in 2001. He came out of retirement to replace outgoing Ambassador Karl Eikenberry.

North Korea Seen Conducting Large-Scale Military Drill Soon BY STEVE HERMAN Reports from South Korea indicate a large-scale military exercise by North Korea appears to be imminent. outh Korean government sources say, based on information from intelligence teams, North Korea appears poised for a rare, large-scale military drill. Government officials, who do not want to be named, say they are “observing closely” North Korean positions. But they say there are no indications the massing of military personnel appears to be anything more than a drill. The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Admiral Michael Mullen, addressing reporters in Washington on Monday, did not make mention of the apparent preparations in North Korea for a military exercise. But the admiral did express concern that Pyongyang’s military will conduct some sort of action against the South again, at some point. "It is my view that the North Korean regime will once again attempt to provoke hostilities and that once again leaders in the South will face some difficult decisions about if and how to respond," Mullen said. "Thus far, ROK [South Korea] leaders have shown commendable restraint. But I think it would be a grave mistake for the North to perceive this restraint as a lack of resolve or, in fact, of the capability of our alliance to defend itself," Mullen cautioned. The North prefers to carry out military exercises this time of year, but maneuvers simultaneously involving the army ground force, the navy and air force are unusual. South Korean media, quoting government sources here, say a significant number of North Korean troops, MiG-21 fighter jets

Congress Saves Israeli Aid Majority of Americans Disapprove of President Obama in Foreign Aid Cut on Jobs, Economy
U.S. HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE SLASHES FOREIGN AID FOR THE PALESTINIANS, EGYPT, LEBANON, AND YEMEN
A new survey shows a majority of Americans are discontented with U.S. President Barack Obama's handling of the economy and the federal budget deficit, as well as his ability to create jobs. he Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 57 percent of Americans disapprove of the way the president is dealing with the economy. Sixty percent of the respondents disagree with his handling of the federal budget deficit. President Obama and lawmakers are racing to reach agreement on moving forward with the budget and raising the debt ceiling, as the deadline to avoid a possible first-ever debt default is one week away. Just over half of those surveyed showed disapproval with Obama's ability to create jobs, as national unemployment stands at more than nine percent. The poll was conducted by phone July 14-17, among a random sample of about 1,000 adults.

ommentators say that the committee vote is a direct challenge to President Barack Obama. The Republican majority in the House of Representatives is trying to limit Obama's freedom of action in handling foreign policy and to minimize U.S. contributions to international organizations especially the UN. According to a source in Israel, the Foreign Affairs Committee slashed foreign aid for the Palestinians, Egypt, Lebanon, and Yemen, until the President certifies that these governments are "not directly or indirectly controlled by a foreign terrorist organization," and eliminated military and civilian aid altogether for Pakistan, until the Secretary of State certifies Pakistan's cooperation in the war on terror and the effectiveness of civilian programs. The Republican majority in the House means that the bill will likely pass with ease. However, the Democratic majority in the Senate has its own version of the foreign aid and State Department budget bill. The Senate version gives Obama the freedom of action that the House is trying to take away. The joint Senate-House committee will have to reconcile the two versions, and the final version may remove the House clauses limiting the administration. Bipartisan support for Israel keeps U.S. military aid intact a year after Congress ratified the U.S.-Israeli agreement that formalizes U.S. aid for Israel through 2018. Under this agreement, U.S. aid will increase by $150 million to $3 billion in fiscal year

Over 20,000 Israelis Demonstrate for Affordable Housing Demonstrators carried placards through the streets of Tel Aviv saying, “Mubarak, Assad, Netanyahu.”
Approximately 20,000 protestors marched in Tel Aviv demanding affordable housing. Tent protest organizer Dafni Leef BY DORON AVIGAD Israel's middle class hit Tel Aviv's streets on Saturday night at the height of the tent protest. Protestors marched from Habima Square to the Tel Aviv Museum, where they congregated with protestors from around the country. Police estimate that over 20,000 people participated in the march. he demonstrators shouted, "Bibi, wake up! People are worth more!" Their demand was simple: affordable housing. They chanted, "An entire generation demands housing, adding, "Apartments aren’t a luxury! Capital, power, crooks!" "People demand social justice! An entire generation demands a future. We want justice, we don’t want charity,"

said, "We must stay on the streets. This is the people's protest. A roof should a basic right. We're the nation's foundation, and we must demand our rights." Before her speech, Leef screened a video clip, which presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the main antagonist. The crowd also booed Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, who was seen at a café on Rothschild Boulevard before the march. "Soon we won't have any dreams," said Leef. "There's no time to dream when all you can do is pay your rent or mortgage. We, the people, are not fools. We'll build a tent city within the country." The demonstrators responded, "Bibi, go home!"

Hirschfeld Properties CEO Elie Hirschfeld and 330 East 61st Street. A broker survey conducted by the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) for the second quarter of 2011 found that 77 percent believe next quarter’s values and sales will be better than or the same as this quarter. Also, 10 percent more brokers reported closing sales at or above asking price compared to what brokers reported in the second quarter of 2010. he survey found that over three-quarters (77 percent) of respondents reported closing rental transactions at or above asking rent this quarter, up 16 percent from last quarter. Additionally, 13 percent more brokers reported closing rental transactions and fourpercent more reported closing sales compared to last quarter. “Our latest survey shows that residential brokers see slow but steady progress in theNew York City residential sales market,” said REBNY President Steven Spinola. “The report demonstrates modest improvement in comparison to the first quarter of 2011, which is essential to continuing the market’s growth and keeping the industry optimistic through the second half of the year.” According to the survey, 59 percent of brokers reported using neighborhood names (i.e. DUMBO, SoHo) when marketing their properties, and 40 percent reported finding clients more responsive to properties using
T
neighborhood names than to those not including them. The survey inquired about neighborhood names as a result of pending legislation that could impact the use of neighborhood names in real estate listings. The survey was sent to REBNY’s Residential Broker Members via email shortly before the end of the quarter on June 21st. They were given until July 6th to submit their results.

Raid on Former B’klyn Matzo Factory BY JV STAFF WRITERS Dozens of city officials, led by the Brooklyn DA’s Office, converged on a former Williamsburg matzo factory and warehouse last Wednesday, in an effort to gather evidence that the site had been illegally converted to residential lofts. enants, who describe the lofts as “semi-legal,” told reporters that firefighters forcefully entered the offices of Nachman Branch, who owns the building at 475 Kent Ave. According to a report in the New York Post, resident Sy Craft,36, said that “there was a big ladder truck and 30 cars out front,” and that the firefighters “had battering rams and broke into Nachman’s office with the ‘Jaws of Life.’ They popped open the door on every floor.” City building inspectors swept the building and shut off the elevator on account of safety concerns. Last week’s raid wasn’t the first one to take place at the Williamsburg loft building.
T
In 2008, the entire building was emptied for more than three months, pending the installation of an emergency sprinkler system. At the time, inspectors had concluded that the combustible grain silos that had been part of the matzo bakery (which was itself illegal), posed a danger to residents. No one was evicted from the building in last week’s raid.
Manhattan property owner Hirschfeld Properties has several deals in the works, CEO Elie Hirschfeld told The Real Deal, and the first one to become official is a refinancing of its 175,000square-foot building at 330 East 61st Street. he $10 million refinancing closed last month, with a 6.28 percent fixed rate and a 20-year amortization period, Hirschfeld said. He noted that he made the transaction due to favorable market conditions and the previous loan coming due. Hirschfeld bought the land in 1980, public records show, and erected a structure specifically for the Sports Club/LA, which is the city's largest free-standing sports club, according to Hirschfeld, who is a triathlete himself. While the refinancing was not nec-
T
essarily done for any improvements within the building -- the Sports Club is currently funding a three-year, cosmetic capital upgrade of the space -- the firm simultaneously agreed to a $7 million credit facility with the refinancing lender, M&T Bank. "We're planning on using that credit for investments outside this building," Hirschfeld said. "We have a good relationship with M&T... and seeing the commitment of the club to the building certainly helped this process." The Sports Club/LA has a 20-year renewal option on its lease. Hirschfeld declined to disclose the specifics of those investments, but he did say he was closing on a lease with a new tenant in the next two weeks for the groundfloor and first-floor space in the building next door, which once housed a synagogue for Rabbi Yishayahu Yosef Pinto and recently inked a lease with the Ballet Club.

ANTI-ZIONISTS BLAME MOSSAD FOR NORWAY TERROR Continued from Cover such vile Zionist Islamophobes as Pam Geller and Richard (sic) Pipes. Pipes and Geller are ciphers for Israeli intelligence and propaganda elements and provide a clear link between Breivik and Mossad, which is under orders to stage false flag attacks to garner support for Israel against Palestine, Cyprus and Norway being the two most recent examples of Mossad-staged attacks.” Madsen, who previously has written that President Barack Obama wants him dead, also claimed that the “Obama administration covers up for Israel by calling attack ‘domestic.’ With ample evidence of Mossad involvement in Oslo, it is up to every one of us to report to the Nth degree any suspicious con-

The website carried a post that said the “car bombing carries the signature of an intelligence agency. Nobody else bothers with such things.” Atzmon cautioned, “I am not in a position at present to firmly point a finger at Israel...

But within the Zion-ised reality we tragically enough live in, the Sabbath Goy kills for the Jewish state. He may even do it voluntarily.” He continued his own logic linking the Mossad with the murders by relying on talkbacks in a Hebrew article, where some readers allegedly praised Breivik and one stated, “It's stupidity and evil not to desire death for those who call to boycott Israel." Atzmon’s concluded, “The full facts of the Norwegian tragedy are, as yet, unknown, but the message should by now be transparently and urgently clear to all of us: Western intelligence agencies must immediately crackdown on Israeli and Zionist operators in our midst, and regarding the terrible events of the weekend, it must be made absolutely clear who it was that spread such hate and promoted such terror, and for what exact reasons.” ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL
On Political Summer Camps, Breivik, and the Tragedy of Ignorance As anyone with a television, an internet connection, or the current issue of the Jewish Voice (Psst! That’s you!) is no doubt aware, Norway’s island of Utoeya was the site of a two-pronged terror attack (a bombing and subsequent shooting spree that together killed over 70 people), allegedly perpetrated by Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik. reivik, as it turns out, is adamantly opposed to his country’s liberal multiculturalism and tolerance of Muslims, and militantly pro-Israel, presumably on account of Israel’s dedication to fighting terrorism (though if he truly understood Israel’s policy towards minority groups, including its Muslim population, he might be a little less gung-ho in his “Zionism”). Far be it from me to sound ungrateful, but let me make one thing abundantly clear: Friends like this we don’t need; and frankly, we can’t afford them! As it turns out, the “youth camp” he attacked was what reporters are describing as a “political summer camp” run by Norway’s ruling Labour Party. And apparently, I’m not the only one who finds the phrase “political summer camp” just a lit-

Glenn Beck got himself into hot water (with Jewish advocacy groups, no less) for comparing the Norwegian youth camp to the Hitler Youth of the 1930’s and 40’s. This author wouldn’t go quite that far, but it isn’t difficult to imagine that these youth were being indoctrinated with hatred, if not of Jews in general, then at least of Israel in particular. Have a look at the photo we’re featuring with this article – the one with the sign that appears to be hilariously misspelled until you realize it’s in Norwegian. That’s the political youth camp, enjoying a visit by Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store. Evidently, the main activity at the Utoeya Island Meeting was a series of exercises whose theme was "Break the Israel Blockade.” Wholesome fun for all ages! As much as it pains me to say it, up to a certain point, I think I can understand where Breivik was coming from. I understand the frustration of living in a society so unthinkingly open-minded that it seems its brains are on the verge of falling out. I understand the anger that comes from seeing youth being inculcated with anti-Semitic values through entertainment, and the anger that, frankly, ought to be directed at the parents sick enough to subject their children to such garbage. Where my understanding fails me is when that anger leads someone to make a bomb, pick up a gun, and start picking off those youth, one at a time.

Editor,
The Norwegian Labour Party’s Political Youth Camp – the most fun an anti-Semitic teen can have on summer vacation! the line between a frustrated, anti-social (or so one might infer from the fact that he took the time to pose for a self-portrait wearing a wetsuit and holding an assault rifle) ultra-conservative, and a straight-up psychopath. The one thing that left me and my colleagues scratching our heads was this: If Breivik was indeed anti-Islamist and proIsrael, what could he have hoped to accomplish by this most heinous act of terrorism? It’s not as if, on that little island, he could have hoped to dismantle the entire national government of Norway. And had it not occurred to him that by turning himself into a living caricature of what Muslim apologists and the “multiculti traitors” he despised think of as a typical right-wing extremist, that in the long term, this can only serve to boost their morale, and convince them of the righteousness of their respective causes? “But at least,” you might be thinking “this doesn’t really reflect on Israel. After all, regardless of his views, this whacko is clearly not a Jew, not Israeli, and has no recognizable ties (other than a misguided personal affinity) to the Jewish State.” It’s not like anyone could blame this on Israel. …Right? Well, if you’ve been following the Breivik story prior to picking up this article, you probably know that some people already are blaming Israel. One “journalist” (fittingly, a dyed-in-the-wool 9/11 truther) has seized upon the idea that the Norway terror attacks, like those of September 11, 2001, were the result of a Mossad-led conspiracy, designed to stirup anti-Islamic sentiment (I guess he’s assuming that the attacks, if executed successfully, were supposed to implicate terrorists of the non-Jewish Semitic variety, and not a blond, blue-eyed, Aryan Übermensch). Suffice it to say that news sources like Al Jazeera, well known for pretending that conspiracy theories and news are one and the same, were more than happy to seize upon this authoritative piece of information from such a respected political analyst and… I’m sorry, if I had continued in that vein for any longer a cerebral hemorrhage would no doubt have resulted. Am I exaggerating? Yes. But only a little bit. If anyone reading this is, G-d forbid, sufficiently sick in the head to sympathize with Breivik and his methods, please do the rest of us, including Israel, a favor: Stick with the angry blogging. It should be painfully obvious, but opening fire on a crowd of teenagers is probably going to harm your cause, not help it. And we Jews

The rabbis have to use moral reason with the recalcitrant husbands and if that doesn’t work they should use the laws of siruv (excommunication).

Bridge Tolls Ended a Century Muslim Brotherhood: Ago, Now NYC Concil Looking “Impose Islam... Step by Step” to Reimpose Them BY HENRY J. STERN This month, we are told, marks the one hundredth anniversary of the removal of tolls from the East River bridges, which at the time ranged from one to ten cents. ne would think that such an occasion would be one of celebration, people rejoicing at the freedom to travel from Manhattan to Brooklyn and Queens and to return without stopping to pay a toll to a troll. A bridge is a street over water was the prevailing philosophy when the city was young and growing. For most of us, that is our sentiment today, but a cadre of transit activists insistently desires a return to the days of the toll collector on the bridge, as well as charging motorists to go from one neighborhood to another in Manhattan. There is a politically correct sentiment that the automobile is an evil contraption, similar to the feeling in the 19th century that horseless carriages were infernal machines, whereas horse droppings, which are organic, were no problem. The truly committed carhaters try one scheme after another to make using a car in the city expensive, uncomfortable and, where they can, illegal. These nanny-staters want you to travel their way or not at all. Their credo: two wheels good, four wheels bad. One technique the Luddites employ is to expand vastly a network of lanes reserved exclusively for bicyclists, even in narrow streets of lower Manhattan, where there is barely room for one lane of traffic alongside the parked vehicles. This experiment was tried on a much more modest scale in the

Bicycling on city streets is desirable, but it can have tragic outcomes, with the death of the gifted Marilyn Dershowitz, mowed down by a mail truck on West 29th Street in Manhattan, the most recent example. We recognize that there are various modes of transportation in New York City: railroads, subways, buses, cars and trucks, taxicabs, motorcycles, ferries, pedicabs, bicycles and travel by foot. They should all be encouraged and supported where their use is appropriate because they are needed to take New Yorkers where they want to go. One type of vehicle should not be considered as the enemy of every other. Three years ago, the Assembly defeated a proposal to charge fees for travel on the city streets. It was called "congestion pricing", as if it were a remedy for a disease, congestion of the lung or the throat. In fact, once such a scheme is adopted, toll gates could be placed
Recent riots in Cairo were a clear proove of the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Nasser's approach, then, is the realpolitik BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM anywhere, at any hours, if not immediately, then by amendment of the law, which would be much easier to achieve than its adoption. The income tax began in 1913 ranging from 1 to 7 per cent. London has already raised its congestion fee from 5 to 12 pounds, and increased the area in which it is charged. If the purpose of the plan is to meet the capital or operating deficits of the transit system, a new revenue stream will lead to increased expenditures, both for labor and for capital costs. The recent construction history of the MTA is exemplified by the 2 Broadway fiasco, which in terms of wasted money, adjusted for inflation, exceeds CityTime in the annals of municipal scandal. A prime office building location, in the financial district at the southern tip of Manhattan, was selected for back-office use, when space could have been acquired in Brooklyn or Queens for far less money. Then, extensive renovations, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, were paid for by the MTA. People from the MTA and union officials were convicted and sent to jail for their role in the corruption. On top of all that, the MTA does not even own the building; it leases it from one Tamir Sapir, an immigrant from the Soviet Union who drove a taxicab and later became a real estate magnate. Sapir is a good example of the opportunities available in America, but leasing from him is by no means the best way to spend public funds, which have to be made up out of the farebox or taxation revenues. Google Sapir for information about his legal and political connections. The concept of observing 2011 by regressing to a system discarded in 1911 is simply a method for a wasteful free-spending agency to meet its chronic financial needs by imposing additional taxes on the people. Here are ideas the MTA does not seem to have thought of yet: impose a sales tax on transit fares; put odometers on automobiles and charge for each mile the streets are used; increase municipal garage fees to the level of privately-owned garages and parking lots. In case you didn't know, the last sentence is irony, like Swift's "A Modest Proposal", but not as well done. The extravagant reconstruction of the Fulton Street subway connection is a prime example of overbuilding at public expense, which exceeded a billion dollars for what is essentially a pre-existing subway interchange. The excuse here was that there was Federal money available which had to be spent in lower Manhattan. The half-billion dollar reconstruction of the South Ferry station was marginally more useful, but also over-engineered. The wholesale destruction

Things are looking good for Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the grandfather of all Islamist groups. Despite the organization's hegemonic aspirations—which include "eliminating and destroying the Western civilization … so that it is eliminated and G-d's religion is made victorious over all other religions"—the Obama administration recently announced that it "welcomes dialogue" with the Brotherhood; so did the European Union. And under Egypt's military regime, the Islamist organization just "became a legal political party for the first time since President Gamal Abdel Nasser banned it more than half-a-century ago." hy Nasser banned the Brotherhood - and tried to decimate it -- is instructive. Machiavellian from the start, Nasser collaborated closely with the Brotherhood; many Egyptians still insist he was originally

Soon after usurping Egypt's leadership via the 1952 Revolution, the alliance soured, culminating with an assassination attempt on Nasser's life by a Brotherhood member. Nasser's response was swift and decisive: he dissolved the Brotherhood, burned down its headquarters, arrested some 15,000 members, and executed some—most famously Sayyid Qutb, the spiritual father of alQaeda—while leaving others to rot in prison. Many of the remaining members, aware that Nasser meant business, fled Egypt. Why such a dramatic response? Why not simply punish the failed assassin and his accomplices? Nasser, a pious Muslim, was most likely intimately, if not instinctively, aware of what the Brotherhood was—and still -- is: he was aware that it is impossible for Muslim organizations committed to theocratic rule to negotiate or share power, much less be trustworthy allies. In short, Nasser was aware that, once the opportunity presented itself, the Brotherhood would do everything in its power to take over: unlike secular parties concerned with the temporal, it has a divine mandate -- a totalitarian vision -- to subdue society to Sharia. Some people even maintain that Nasser himself staged the assassination attempt as a pretext to eliminate the Brotherhood – an interpretation that only further supports the theory that Nasser knew he had to dismantle the Islamists, and was willing to play dirty to do so.
approach of one who knows that you must suppress those who would suppress you— once circumstances permit -- a long-term approach that takes the big picture into account, unlike many Western politicians who are only looking for a quick fix for the duration of their term. For its part, the Brotherhood learned the virtues of patience and perseverance; to play the game on the enemy's terms—whether by rejecting violence; by going to the kafir [unbeliever] ballot box; by leading us to adopt the "pluralistic" language of the West – a skill Brotherhood affiliates in the West, such as CAIR, have perfected to an art. Recently, a new document on implementing Sharia on the Brotherhood's website argues that "Gradual action does not impose Islam at once, but rather step by step." Consider, too, how the mere passage of time has empowered the Brotherhood in the Arab and Muslim world. Over the decades, Egyptian society has become more Islamist and more sympathetic to the Brotherhood -thanks in no small part to the organization's grassroots efforts; Moreover, both in Egypt and abroad, many truly believe that the Muslim Brotherhood organization has reformed, which would be worthy of note if the facts corresponded to such a wish. They don't. Many people also believed that Khomeini would bring democracy to Iran. He didn't. What would be their fall-back position if they are wrong? The passage of time in the West has also helped the Brotherhood: Western politics have descended into idealism and fantasy— culminating today with Washington reaching out to Islamists. Would they have reached out to the Nazis? The Muslim Brotherhood is a testimony to the power of time and patience. From being crushed and disbanded half a century ago, the Brotherhood is now legal and poised to take over Egypt. When all is said and done, the Brotherhood wants the same thing all Islamists, Salafists, and Jihadists want: the enforcement of Allah's draconian anti-infidel laws to govern the earth. They are just smarter—more patient —than their impulsive counterparts in the West. The lesson of Nasser is that when dealing with an existential, permanent enemy, sometimes the only response is the most decisive, the ugliest—even when your enemy is weak. If he becomes stronger, it is just that much more costly in life and treasure to do anything to counter him. It would have been so much easier to stop Hitler, say, before he crossed the Rhine – but how many voices were there then insisting he was just a tin-pot dictator who would never be a serious threat to anyone? Otherwise, you play the talking game, the waiting game, as the West has done with North Korea and Iran, which grants your adversary precisely what he most needs to be in a position to attack you: Time.

Messages from Prime Minister Netanyahu and from a distinguished host of intellectuals and politicians were beamed in. I am now holding a book that memorializes this event: Per La Verita, Per Israele: Mille voci al Tempio di Adriano (For The Truth, For Israel: A Thousand Voices at the Temple of Hadrian). Each contribution appears in both Italian and English. The pieces are passionate, sophisticated, and written by people from many countries, including Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Finland, Holland, the United States, and Israel, etc., including pieces by Iranian dissidents in exile, Iraqis in exile, apostates in
Parliament (Magdi Cristiano Allam), the Association of Arab Women in Italy, and Nobel Laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini. My most excellent colleagues Bruce Bawer, Melanie Phillips , Benny Morris , and of course Giuilo Meotti, all appear in the book. Italy has a long and sordid history of persecuting its Jews. The word "ghetto" comes from the district in Venice in which Jews were forced to live and where they were locked in after dark. I recently took a tour of Jewish Rome and, since I love Italy, was especially saddened by the stories of repeated massacres, pogroms, and ritual persecution that afflicted the Jews of every region. And still, a remnant of Italian Jewry survived. Alas, so does anti-Semitism. Given the ongoing events, i.e. the flotilla and flytilla that failed, the hostile mass "surges" into Jewish Israel, the sabotage of the gas lines from Egypt to Israel, and the upcoming UN vote on Palestinian statehood—all of which amounts to the Third Intifada—I hope that Nirenstein is ready to rally soon again. The 2010 rally in Rome, and now the book that memorializes it, parts company with Italian history. It is an act of profound resistance which I applaud. Here is what I wrote, and what was read for me at this rally. The War In Jerusalem Will Spare Nobody. After the Jews, It Will Be the Christians' Turn. Without doubt, Israel potentially faces extinction, possibly a Second Holocaust. Indeed, many Europeans continue Hitler's Holocaust by supporting fifty-seven Islamic
apartheid nation states against the single Jewish democratic state. The worldwide media has become totally "Palestinianized" and Stalinized. Palestinians—even the haters, terrorists, and torturers, are naught but noble, innocent victims. Israel has literally become Orwell's 1984 "Goldstein," whom propagandized mobs are taught to scapegoat for their every conceivable sorrow. The ideological assault against Israel has escalated. Daily, hourly, in every language, the media repeats Big Lies. Israel is the "Nazi, apartheid" state, the "colonial" aggressor; neat trick, that. Bloody Muslim imperialism and Islamic religious and gender apartheid are thus denied and projected onto Israel. Israel is essentially, existentially, "evil." In 2005, Ahmadinejad said that Israel must be "wiped off the map." In 2006, he said that the Middle East would be better off "without the existence of the Zionist regime" and that Israel would "soon be wiped out." President Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, but really, he feels Hitler did not go far enough. Thus, he is taking up where Hitler left off—Amadinejad's intention is a clearly stated genocidal one. No one is stopping him. We—the world's civilians—are now all Israelis. The same world which refused to stop the airplane hijackings and human bombs which blew up countless Israeli civilians has now inherited this whirlwind. As they say: It starts with the Jews, but it never ends there. Recently, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that: "To delegitimize Israel is an affront not only to Israelis but to those everywhere, in every part of humanity, who share the values of a free and independent spirit." However, while his speech, delivered in Israel, was a very warm one, Blair also seemed to suggest that Israel's best approach to combat the "delegitimization efforts" was to "always be a staunch and unremitting advocate and actor for peace." In other words, Israel, alone among nations, must earn the right to exist by being "good." If we applied this standard to Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia, they would have ceased to exist long ago. Dear Mr. Blair: Israel has always been in favor of "peace." The instransigence and solution lies elsewhere with the Palestinians, the Arab world, the Muslim world, and the

UANI Calls on NYC Hotels to Despite Positive Signs for Refuse to Host Ahmadinejad NYS, Budget Risks Remain During 2011 UN General Assembly Tax collections for the first quarter of the state fiscal year (SFY) 2011-12 were $799 million higher than Enacted Budget Financial Plan projections according to the June 2011 Cash Report released by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. However, the higher than anticipated growth in Personal Income Tax collections was driven by robust estimated tax payments based on 2010 earnings unlikely to be repeated in the coming months. Business tax collections were also up, rising 32 percent from last year.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) called on New York City hotels last week to refuse to host Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during this year's United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2011. his is the third consecutive year that UANI is leading its Hotels Campaign. In previous years, UANI and its supporters have pressured multiple hotels to deny accommodations to Ahmadinejad and his delegation. In separate letters to dozens of New York hotels, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, wrote: President Ahmadinejad is the leader of a criminal regime that flouts international law by pursuing an illegal nuclear weapons program, sponsoring terrorism, and abusing its own citizens. We strongly believe that no American-based venue should host this man. We are calling on you and all other New York-area venues to help isolate and condemn the Iranian regime by refusing to host President Ahmadinejad and his cohorts... It is also worth recalling that in his speech before the General Assembly last year, Ahmadinejad despicably claimed that the U.S. orchestrated the September 11 terrorist attacks against its own citizens... With the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaching this September and in light of previously undisclosed information regarding the Iranian regime's complicity in the 9/11 attacks (The New York Times. "Court Filings Assert Iran Had Link to 9/11 Attacks," May 20, 2011), New Yorkers, and by extension all Americans, will not tolerate Ahmadinejad's conspiratorial claims and will not look kindly on any venues that provide him with comfort and accommodation during his stay in New York City.
T
“R UANI and its supporters have pressured multiple hotels to deny accommodations to Ahmadinejad and his delegation. In 2009, UANI and its supporters successfully urged The New York Helmsley Hotel, Gotham Hall and the Essex House to refuse to host Ahmadinejad. As a result, Ahmadinejad was effectively quarantined to the InterContinental New York Barclay, the one hotel in New York that agreed to accommodate the Iranian delegation. In 2010, InterContinental made the ethical decision to not host Ahmadinejad, isolating him to the only hotel that would accept him, the Hilton Manhattan East. For its irresponsible decision, Hilton received a great deal of negative publicity in the media, and its guests were significantly inconvenienced.
Lagarde Warns "Clock Ticking" on U.S. Debt Talks The new managing director of the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday that time is running out for the U.S. to raise the nation's 14.3 trillion borrowing limit. n the debt ceiling, the clock is ticking, and clearly the issue needs to be resolved immediately," Christine Lagarde said in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations. "I'm hopeful that the political courage shown by European leaders will soon be followed by bold fiscal action in the U.S.," she said. Lagarde, the former French finance minister, said that if America saw a debt default, it would be "a very, very serious event," not only for the U.S., but also for the entire world. President Barack Obama and Republican lawmakers are at an impasse in negotiations to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit. The federal government is at risk of defaulting on its debt after Aug. 2 if an agreement isn't reached by then. Credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's have warned that they will downgrade the United States' top credit rating if an agreement isn't reached. Standard & Poor's has also said it may reduce the nation's credit rating if there aren't steep cuts to the U.S. budget deficit. Lagarde took the helm of the IMF on July 5, after her predecessor, Dominique StraussKahn, resigned to fight allegations of sexual assault. U.S. Treasury bonds play a “central role'' in world financial markets, the IMF said in a staff report Monday. U.S. Treasury securities have traditionally been seen as the safest investment in the world. More than $4 trillion of securities are
evenue collections in the first quarter were strong, but our fiscal health is tenuous," DiNapoli said. "We received the last of the significant federal stimulus funding in June, and the temporary PIT surcharge ends in the third quarter this year. The federal debt limit crisis, weakness in the housing market, and international financial and political instability continue to pose threats to the recovery. The Blue Chip consensus economic forecasts for growth continue to be revised downward. State leaders need to focus on diversifying our economic base, creating jobs, and rebuilding reserves to prepare the state for any fiscal difficulties ahead." The General Fund ended June with a balance of $2.5 billion, $2 billion higher than projected in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan. Receipts, including transfers, grew $3 billion over last year primarily because of higher PIT collections in April and $500 million in delayed refunds that lowered last year's revenue. PIT collections ended the month $366.5 million higher than the latest projections. Spending, including transfers, declined $458.3 million (3 percent) from the same period last year and was $1.2 billion below projections primarily because of Medicaid and education payment delays. Other findings from the June Cash Report include: General Fund receipts (including transfers from other funds) of $15.7 billion through June 30 were 24.1 percent, or $3 billion, higher than receipts from the same period last year. General Fund receipts were $809.2 million higher than projections in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan. General Fund tax collections totaled nearly $11.7 billion, reflecting an increase of $2.3 billion, or 24.8 percent, from last year for the same period. Tax collections were $638.8 million higher than Enacted Budget Financial Plan projections, primarily due to PIT collections. The Division of the Budget will be releasing updated projections in the First Quarterly Update to the SFY 2011-12 Enacted Budget Financial Plan later this month. General Fund Personal Income Tax collections through June 30 totaled $7.8 billion and grew 30.2 percent, or $1.8 billion, from last year. Year-to-date PIT collections were $366.5 million higher than Enacted Budget projections. Withholding collections grew 1 percent through June 30. Reflecting gains in tax settlements from 2010, year-to-date estimated payments grew 35 percent or $1.5 billion. Year-to-date PIT refunds were $555.5 million lower than last year primarily because $500 million in refunds were moved from the final quarter of SFY 2009-10 into the first quarter of SFY 2010-11 to address cash flow issues. Consumption and use taxes increased 6.2 percent to $2.2 billion in the General Fund, which is $16 million higher than Enacted Budget projections. General Fund sales tax collections grew 7 percent through the first quarter of the fiscal year, compared to the same period last year.

That means higher interest rates on securities could have a global impact. Lagarde said sharp cuts in government spending and other measures to reduce the budget deficit may slow the economy in the short run, but not by much. The IMF director also said she welcomes the new bailout plan for Greece reached by euro-zone leaders last Thursday. "The agreement shows that European leaders believe in the euro, and will do what it takes to secure its destiny. It has been welcomed by financial markets, as reflected in the stronger euro and lower peripheral bond spreads," she said. "But turbulence could easily resurface. For this reason, it is essential that the summit's commitments should be implemented quickly." Lagarde urged Greece to implement what it needed to do in frame of the rescue package. In her opinion, what Greece needed to do is "implementation, implementation," because the clock is also ticking.

Markowitz Slapped With Hefty Statement by Rabbi Nachman Fine for Taking Freebies from and Itta Kletzky Foreign Governments Parents of Leiby Kletzky, of blessed memory
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has been fined $20,000 by the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board for accepting free travel and other accommodations for his wife on trips overseas. ccording to a ruling released on Monday, Markowitz had violated the City Charter provision prohibiting public servants from using their positions to obtain financial gain or personal advantage. The board noted that Markowitz is allowed to accept free travel for business purposes, but is barred from doing so for his wife. The board maintains that Markowitz accepted nearly $5,000 worth of travel arrangements for his wife paid for by Turkish

BP Markowitz, seen here celebrating with one of Brooklyn’s first newlywed gay couples in Brooklyn’s Borough Hall, has been fined $20,000 by the city’s Conflicts of Interest Board for accepting free travel and accommodations for his wife. Markowitz made the argument at a hearing earlier this year that his wife is considered "the First Lady of Brooklyn," and therefore has an official role similar to that of the nation's first lady. "The comparison is inapt," the judge wrote in a May decision. "There is simply no meaningful comparison between the role of First Lady of the United States and the First Lady of Brooklyn."

While the Kletzky family and, indeed, the entire Jewish community, continues to mourn in their hearts over the tragic death of eight-year-old Leiby z”l, the seven-day shiva period has passed. At the end of last week, the parents of young Leiby released the following statement: he traditional seven intense days of mourning (“shiva”) for our beloved Leiby are complete, but the ache in our hearts will remain forever. We thank G-d for the nearly nine beautiful years that He entrusted us with Leiby’s pure soul. We are certain that Leiby is now looking down from heaven and blessing us all. We would like to once again thank all our friends and neighbors; all the selfless volunteers from near and far; local, city, state, and federal agencies; and all our fellow New Yorkers and beyond who assisted us physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as well as all of G-d’s children around the world who held our dear Leiby in their thoughts and prayers. We pray that none of you should ever have to live through what we did. But if any tragedy is to ever befall any of you, G-d forbid, you should be blessed with a community and public as supportive as ours. We feel that through Leiby we’ve become family with you all.
T
Many of you have asked us what you can do now in Leiby’s memory, and how you can help us find comfort. Looking back at Leiby’s all-too-short years among us, here are a few ideas: Acts of unity and lovingkindness. Let us perpetuate the feeling of collective responsibility and love expressed during the search
for Leiby. An additional act of kindness toward your neighbor, or to those less fortunate than you, can go a long, long way toward perfecting our world. Putting a couple of coins into a charity box daily is one way of tangibly expressing that lovingkindness. Gratitude. Leiby deeply cherished his siddur, his prayerbook, and praying to G-d meant the world to him. He was known by his teachers for his concentration in prayer, always being the last to finish. In Leiby’s memory, when you wake up each morning take a few moments to pray and reflect and thank G-d for giving us life (“Modeh Ani” in the prayerbook). Light. Every Friday evening our family sits down together for Shabbat dinner to the light of the Shabbat candles. A candle shines for each of our children—and Leiby’s candle will always be included. On Friday evening, please give a few coins to charity and light the candles before sunset with our beloved Leiby in mind. Memorial fund. Together with Rabbi Binyamin Eisenberger, we have established a memorial fund to help people in dire need (www.leibykletzkymemorialfund.com), to channel the lovingkindness shown to us and our dear Leiby toward many, many others in need. We welcome your participation. From the deepest place in our hearts, we thank you all for your help, your support and your prayers. May Leiby’s soul live on as a blessing inside each and every one of you. Sincerely, Nachman and Itta Kletzky THE ABOVE STATEMENT COMES COURTESY OF CHABAD.ORG
Hate Crimes Increase in NYC, Decrease Overall Statewide JEWS THE MOST FREQUENT TARGETS Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz has voiced concern over a report that while hate crimes in New York State dropped by 14 percent, New York City residents saw a 27 percent increase. These findings were revealed in the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) annual report on hate crimes. ews were the most frequent targets of hate crime. The DCJS reported that in 2010, nearly 70 years after the end of the Holocaust, 50 swastikas were placed on property in New York State. “These are disturbing statistics,” Cymbrowitz said referring to the DCJS report. “It becomes of even greater concern when you consider that 2010 saw more hate crimes targeted against individuals. While these crimes hurt the individual, they also impact the entire community.” According to the Anti-Defamation League, the incidence of hate crimes nationally has been dropping over the last couple of years. New York has not followed that trend. “I have to ask why? New York’s population has always been diverse. Our city has a history of making room for the next wave of immigrants, what has changed?”
J
Cymbrowitz questioned. “It is important parents teach their children that what makes this nation great is its diversity. Most Americans are either immigrants or descendents of immigrants. New York City’s energy stems from its residents, who represent just about every religion and culture, contributing something from their traditions and lifestyles,” Cymbrowitz stated. “While I realize that most of us get along, perhaps even enjoying the differences between ourselves and our neighbors, it’s those few insecure individuals who are perpetrating these hate crimes that we must reach.” “New York State has tough hate crime statutes on its books and the New York City Police Department’s Hate Crime Unit is one of the best in the nation, but if we are ever to be free of these horrible crimes, we must get to people through education and societal reinforcement to make them understand that someone looking or acting differently should not be the motivation for either a physical or vocal attack,” Cymbrowitz said. New York City experienced 350 hate crimes in 2010, which was a 27 percent increase over 2010.

Finding Leiby Kletzky The True Story of The Unseen Hero STORY AND PHOTOS BY TZVI ALLEN FISHMAN “When I heard that Leiby Kletzky was missing I made a commitment that I was going to find him. I felt it was my responsibility to be the person who will accomplish that mission.” ho was that person who ultimately “put all the pieces together” and pointed the detectives to the place where Leiby Kletzky would likely be found? It was a Bobover chosid by the name of Yaakov German. A teacher-turned-real estate mogul, father of twelve and a superbly articulate and involved member of the Boro Park community. Yaakov German believes that every Jew has the responsibility to act as Pinchas did in the Torah. Pinchas was the grandson of Aaron the Kohen, who took the initiative to stop the immorality that was taking place between the Israelites and the Maobite and Midianite women by slaying the Simeonite Prince Zimri Ben Salu and his Midianite paramour Cozbi bat Tzur, single-handedly averting a perilous crisis facing the Children of Israel. German feels that when there is pain and suffering one must “step up to the plate” with all their strength and ability. Yaakov German stopped all his business activities on Monday as soon as he heard the
announcement that Leiby was missing. He searched the streets and asked everyone in the vicinity where Leiby would have probably been whether they saw him. The police, according to protocol would not join the search until at least one day had passed, German had a “gut feeling” that it would be too late. When his initial searches failed to turn up a clue, it dawned on him that there were security cameras all over the probable route that Leiby would have taken from the Boyan Day Camp to where he was supposed to meet his mother. German constructed a security camera map starting with the cameras on each floor of the Boyan day camp, which is situated on 44th Street between 12th and 13th Avenues in Brooklyn. He then proceeded to follow Leiby’s tracks down from the school and saw that the boy did not get on the bus but went left out of the building and proceeded down 44th Street. He deduced that young Leiby was probably walking down 44th street from 13th Avenue toward 14th Avenue and onward. German than had to wait until the following morning when the stores started opening up and he could start checking the stores’ security cameras. He tracked him all the way to 18th Avenue where at Bentchers Unlimited the cameras picked him up again. Finally, at Tri-State Leasing, a camera showed Leiby throwing his hands up in the air, motioning that he was lost. A third video

Leiby’s Law: ‘Safe Haven’ Bill Will Make Streets Safer for Lost Children In the wake of the tragic disappearance and subsequent murder of eightyear-old Leiby Kletzky, Councilman David Greenfield announced a bill last week to create a 'Safe Haven Program' for children. This initiative would aim to create safe places on every block in New York City for children to seek help and shelter if they are lost or afraid. nder the program, lost children would be able to seek help at participating businesses or homes that display a bright green, city-issued 'Safe Haven' sticker in their window. The businesses and homeowners would then call the police while providing safe shelter for the lost child. “I haven’t been able to sleep since the terrible tragedy that befell Leiby Kletzky,”

It was there also that the camera showed Leiby getting into a car with Aron and the car going across 45th Street and 18th Avenue and stopping at a white house. The house was a dentist’s office where Aron paid a bill with a credit card. A further check on the credit card showed that he had made a purchase at a 7-Eleven convenience store a bit earlier. The security camera at the 7-Eleven was able to show the license plate on the car and the address of Levi Aron was found. The detectives than went to Aron’s address and found what there was of Leiby’s body, and his alleged murderer, Levi Aron. In a lecture at Aish Hatorah in Manhattan, where Yaakov German spoke, he was asked if one can ever forgive a murderer of the sort of Levi Aron. German compared this murder to the Holocaust. He stated that “there are people who are given the challenge of either doing evil or doing right in this world. This is their freedom of choice, if they choose evil than they have to pay the price.” It would seem that Levi Aron chose to do evil. He must pay therefore pay the price, in this world.

School Trips to Poland to be Subsidized onsiderably more needy students will be able to participate in school trips to Poland following a subsidy plan announced by Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar on Monday. The new model proposes allocating an annual sum of NIS 50 million (roughly $15 million) to subsidize the trips of needy students to Poland. This will result in a drastic increase in the number of participants in school delegations receiving state funding – 40,000 compared to several thousand today. A trip to Poland is estimated at NIS 5,500 (roughly $1,600) per student and is considered by many a luxury only the rich can afford. The Education and Finance ministries together with the Union of Local Authorities have worked on the new subsidy plan which will be implemented as of 2012. The Education Ministry will allocate NIS 35 million ($10.3 million) for the program while the Union of Local Authorities will provide the rest of the sum.

NEWS IN REVIEW Egypt Denies Weapons Smuggling via Gaza Tunnels gyptian security sources denied, Israeli charges that large quantities of weapons were being smuggled into Gaza from the northern Sinai peninsula, according to the Al-Yaum Al-Saba' internet site. The sources said there was no basis to the claims and that the Egyptian security establishment not only controls the border area and the streets leading to the border city of Rafah, but to the Sinai Peninsula as well. The sources said the tunnel areas are patrolled and that dozens have been discovered and destroyed recently. They called the claims delusional and irresponsible, adding that they were driven by intentional motives, including a response to Egypt's hosting of an international conference calling for creation of a Palestinian Authority state.

Peres Gets Personal Shoah Mementos resident Shimon Peres received recently a special gift from Belarus' Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich, who arrived in Israel on a private visit: A list of Jews executed by the Nazis in his childhood town of Valozhyn. The list includes 22 of the president's paternal and maternal relatives, from the Persky and Meltzer families. "It's amazing and emotionally moving at the same time," Peres said while reviewing the list. He immediately recognized the names, some of whom were his classmates. The document describes how hundreds of Jews were assembled in huge pits they were forced to dig on their own – and were shot. The injured were buried alive.

Eight Charter and Tour Bus Companies Suspended state official says the Cuomo administration will suspend the operating licenses of eight charter and tour bus companies after repeated failures in safety inspections. The official tells The Associated Press that the companies each failed three or more roadside inspections of buses or drivers in the last six months.

The Cuomo administration’s stepped-up enforcement comes after several fatal bus crashes this year. Two crashes involving buses last week killed three people.

Mengele Journals Sold to Jewish Buyer U.S. auction house says it has sold the journals written by Nazi death camp doctor Josef Mengele. The sale is drawing criticism from a leader of Holocaust survivors who says the business was profiting off the sale of one of the worst mass murderers in history. Alexander Autographs, of Stamford, Connecticut, sold the journals Thursday for nearly $300,000, said Bill Panagopulos, the company's president. Alexander officials said the Jewish buyer wants to remain anonymous and is building a private collection for a museum. "I am outraged that Mr. Panagopulos and his outfit have profiteered off a sale of materials by one of history's greatest mass murderers designed to enrich his heirs," said Menachem Rosensaft, vice president of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants.

Mayoral Candidates Battle in the Sanitation Department t is now a battle of the posters between the 2009 NYC mayoral candidates. Bill Thompson became the second major mayoral candidate to beat the system last week, when the Environmental Control Board overruled its own hearing officer and tossed $619,125 worth of summonses accumulated during his 2009 run for City Hall. The board’s decision was based on legal technicalities. It never got to the merits of the case. A similar defect led the ECB to dismiss $528,225 worth of fines slapped on Comptroller John Liu’s campaign, also in 2009. Both men are considered likely to enter the 2013 mayoral contest.

Kate Middleton Mother of Jewish King of England? here is a legend of the Jewish King of Poland Saul Wahl, who during his one day reign formed many laws that were of great help to the Jewish community. Now some are thinking that the possible mother of the future king of England is Jewish. Kate's mother's maiden name is Goldsmith. And there are people with the last names of Temple and Meyers in her family tree, which apparently is enough to make some think that she has Jewish ancestry. There is absolutely Kate Middleton no proof that's the case, but even if it were, that Jewish link was lost a long, long time ago. Genealogy research is not just limited to days past, and in case of Kate possibly ascending the British throne, her lineage has been studied at length. And for at least five generations, Kate's ancestors have been married in churches. Nothing Jewish about that.

AMY WINEHOUSE DEAD AT 27 “SHE SEEMED OUT OF IT,” SAYS AMY’S MOTHER
continuing the cycle of music, excess and recuperation that marked her career. Born in the Southgate area of north London to Jewish parents; Mitchell Winehouse, a taxi driver and Janis Winehouse (née Seaton), a pharmacist, Amy was heavily influenced by her parents love of jazz music and was considered somewhat of a prodigy. At age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour with childhood friend Juliette Ashby. After toying with her older brother Alex's guitar, Winehouse received her first guitar when she was 13, and began writing music a year later. Darcus Beese, her future representative at the Island/Universal recording company, heard her by accident when the manager of The Lewinson Brothers showed him some productions of his clients on which Winehouse was featured as a vocalist. When he asked who the singer was the manager told him he was not allowed to say. Having decided that he wanted to sign her it took several months of asking around for Beese to eventually discover who the singer was. By
BY FERN SIDMAN The music world was rocked on Saturday, July 23rd, when it was reported that Amy Winehouse, 27, the beehived, soul-jazz singer was found dead in her Camden Square, northern London home. Sources close to the troubled singer believe her untimely passing was due to a drug overdose. Winehouse's mother, Janis, saw her daughter just a day before her death. “She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasn’t hit me,” she told the British tabloid, The Daily Mirror but admitted that the possibility of her daughter dying "seemed only a matter of time." She added that Amy told her that she loved her, and that she'd treasure those words forever. he British tabloids have been wildly speculating about Winehouse's last days and the Daily Mirror reports that "unnamed friends" have revealed that Winehouse was in the midst of a weeks-long drinking binge, and that, according to an MTV producer and others, she died of a bad ecstasy pill. Another tabloid called "The People" reports that Winehouse was seen buying cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and ketamine the night before her death. Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose fusion of jazz, soul,
T
According to The Jewish Chronicle of London, a private Jewish funeral service was held for Winehouse on Tuesday afternoon.
Amy Winehouse performing in Berlin - 2007 rock, classic pop, and doo-wop was a global hit. Originally released in Britain in the fall of 2006, Winehouse worked on the album with producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi and soul-funk group the Dap-Kings. Its essence mirrored her love of the girl-groups of the early 1960s with lyrical tales of romantic obsession and emotional excess. In March of 2007, it was released in the United States and went on to win five Grammy awards, including song and record of the year for "Rehab." Music critic John Aizlewood attributed her trans-Atlantic success to a fantastic voice and a genuinely original sound. "A lot of British bands fail in America because they give America something Americans do better — that's why most British hip-hop has failed," he said. "But they won't have come across anything quite like Amy Winehouse." Her debut album called "Frank" was released in 2003 and garnered critical acclaim in the United Kingdom and was even nominated for the Mercury Prize. Winehouse's distinctive look that was marked by her black beehive of hair, thickly lined cat eyes, girly tattoos and her tart
tongue made her one of music's most recognizable stars. "I listen to a lot of '60s music, but society is different now," Winehouse said in a 2007 interview. "I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know." Increasingly, controversy and shocking scandals in Winehouse's personal life began to overshadow her professional career as it was revealed that she was battling both drug and alcohol addictions. Having acknowledged that she's "a terrible drunk" she also revealed her struggle with eating disorders and told a newspaper that she had been diagnosed as manic depressive but refused to take medication. Soon accounts of her erratic behavior, canceled concerts and drink- and drug-fueled nights began to multiply. Photographs taken by the paparazzi caught her unsteady on her feet or vacanteyed, and she appeared unhealthily thin, with scabs on her face and marks on her arms. Moreover, there were embarrassing videos of her released to the world on the Internet. One showed an addled Winehouse and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty playing with newborn mice. Another, for which Winehouse apologized, showed her singing a racist ditty to the tune of a children's song. Winehouse also had run-ins with the law. In April 2008, she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a raucous night out. The same year she was investigated by police, although not charged, after a tabloid newspaper published a video that appeared to show her smoking crack cocaine. In 2010, Winehouse pleaded guilty to assaulting a theater manager who asked her to leave a family Christmas show because she'd had too much to drink. She was given a fine and a warning to stay out of trouble by a judge who praised her for trying to clean up her act. In May 2007 in Miami, she married music industry hanger-on Blake FielderCivil, but the honeymoon was brief. That November, Fielder-Civil was arrested for an attack on a pub manager the year before. Fielder-Civil later pleaded guilty to assaulting barman James King and then offering
him 200,000 pounds (US$400,000) to keep quiet about it. Winehouse stood by Blake throughout his trial, often blowing kisses at him from the court's public gallery and wearing a heart-shaped pin labeled "Blake" in her hair at concerts. But British newspapers reported extramarital affairs while FielderCivil was behind bars. They divorced in 2009. Winehouse's managers went to increasingly desperate lengths to keep the wayward star on the straight and narrow. Before a June 2011 concert in Belgrade; the first stop on a planned European comeback tour, her hotel was stripped of booze. It did no good, as a clearly inebriated Winehouse swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs, as her band played gamely and the audience jeered and booed. Winehouse flew home and her management canceled the tour, saying Winehouse would take some time off to recover. Though she was often reported to be working on new material, fans got tired of waiting for the much-promised follow-up to "Back to Black." Occasional bits of recording saw the light of day. Her rendition of The Zutons' "Valerie" was a highlight of producer Mark Ronson's 2007 album "Version," and she recorded the pop classic "It's My Party" for the 2010 Quincy Jones album "Q: Soul Bossa Nostra." But other recording projects with Ronson, one of the architects of the success of "Back to Black," came to nothing. Winehouse's health often appeared fragile. In June 2008 and again in April 2010, she was taken to hospital and treated for injuries after fainting and falling at home. Her father said she had developed the lung disease emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack, although her spokeswoman later said Winehouse only had "early signs of what could lead to emphysema." She left the hospital to perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park in June 2008, and at the Glastonbury festival the next day, where she received a rousing reception but scuffled with a member of the crowd. Then it was back to a London clinic for treatment,
_____________________ “Winehouse's managers went to increasingly desperate lengths to keep the wayward star on the straight and narrow.” _____________________ this time Winehouse had already recorded a number of songs and signed a publishing deal with EMI Records. Through the publishers she formed a working relationship with the producer Salaam Remi. Beese introduced Winehouse to his boss, Nick Gatfield, and the Island head shared his enthusiasm in signing the young artist. Winehouse was signed to Island/Universal as rival interest in Winehouse had started to build, with representatives at EMI and Virgin also starting to make moves. Beese told the publication "HitQuarters" that he felt the reason behind the excitement over an artist who was an atypical pop star for the time was due to a backlash against reality TV music shows with audiences becoming starved for genuine young talent. According to The Jewish Chronicle of London, a private Jewish funeral service was held for Winehouse on Tuesday afternoon, July 26th at the Edgwarebury Jewish cemetery in North London. Rabbi Frank Hellner, emeritus rabbi at the Finchley Progressive Synagogue conducted the service and it was reported that Winehouse's father, Mitch delivered impromptu remarks to those gathered and his parting words to his daughter Amy were, "Goodnight my angel, sleep tight." As fans and photographers surrounded the cemetery, the strains of the classic Carole King ballad, "So Far Away" could be heard as it was played at the service. Also attending was entertainment diva Kelly Osbourne who, in tribute to Winehouse's iconic look, wore her hair in a beehive hairdoo. Marc Ronson, the disc jockey and producer who collaborated with Winehouse on her 2007 song called "Valerie", described her "like a sister" to him. An aura of polemics that characterized Winehouse's life followed her to the grave, as it was reported that following the service, Winehouse's remains were cremated at the Golders Green Crematorium in Hoop Lane. Angered at the clear violation of Jewish law that cremation represents, Jewish bloggers have been expressing their discontent. The Winehouse family is also expected to sit shiva for their only daughter for at least two nights.

Judean Barley Mutation May Help Solve Food Crisis BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU The chance discovery of a genetic mutation in wild barley in the Judean Desert has led Haifa University scientists to discover a new gene that played a role in allowing aquatic plants to grow on land and may allow wheat and barley to grow in arid areas. he new gene sheds light on the process that led to life on land as we know it today. The discovery of the Judean Desert barley mutation was made by a Chinese student, Guoxiong, during his doctoral study at the University of Haifa and has led to an international study published in the prestigious scientific journal PNAS. The research was conducted under supervision of university Professor Eviatar

(Eibi) Nevo, for whom the Chinese student named the gene “Eibi 1.” "Life on Earth began in the water, and in order for plants to rise above water to live on land, they had to develop a cuticle membrane that would protect them from uncontrolled evaporation and dehydration,” explains Prof. Nevo. “In our study, we discovered a completely new gene that along with other genes contributes to the formation of this cuticle.” Chen found that the mutation of the
Judean Desert barley wild barley was significantly smaller than regular wild barley. It was found that this mutation causes an abnormal increase in water loss because of a disruption in the production of the plant's material (cutin) that is a component in the plant's cuticle that reduces water loss and prevents the plant's dehydration. Chen continued his research after returning to China, where he now is a professor, and enrolled a team of researchers from Israel, Switzerland, China and Japan. They discovered the gene that produces cutin, which is found in all land plants but is either nonexistent or present in tiny amounts in aquatic plants. "This is one of the genes that contributed to the actual eventuality of life on land as we know it today,” according to Prof. Nevo. “ It is a key element in the adaptation process that aquatic plants underwent in order to live on land” and also is of value in the future enhancement of cereals. He said that understanding the mechanism behind the production of cutin will allow the formation of wheat and barley species that are more resistant to water loss and more durable in the dryer conditions on land. "Genetic enhancement of cultivated plants to make them durable in dry and saline conditions can increase food production around the world," the researcher concluded.

Barn Find Exotica to Be Auctioned in Monterey
It’s quite rare to uncover one low, mileage, ‘untouched’ classic in a barn, so how about three of them, especially when they’re Italian exotics. ell, after literally years of rumors circulating about a forgotten stash of machines located in the Dallas area, it emerged that the collection of cars exists, despite not having seen the light of day in years. In March 2011, a car collector and restorer located in the Dallas area, came in contact with a broker who sent him a couple of photographs of three Italian exotics, covered in dust inside a storage building. When the collector saw the pictures he couldn’t believe his eyes; the three cars in question were a 1972 Ferrari 365GTB4 with 9,700 miles on the clock; a 1974 Dino 246GT with 2,700 miles and a 1977 Maserati Bora with just

900 miles registered on the odometer. It turned out the the owner of these cars was a long time friend of race driver and famed US Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti, and had asked the broker to take bids on the cars, which he was trying to sell. The Dallas collector, recognizing a perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, submitted a bid on the three cars which was duly accepted. Now after some more wheeling and dealing, the trio of un-restored classics is up for grabs at Mecum’s Monterey Auction, which takes place from August 18-20 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Spa. Although Dinos and Boras in particular don’t tend to trade hands for huge sums of money these days, the fact that all three of these cars boast such low mileage and are true ‘barn finds’ could, quite, easily result in some serious money being laid down over the course of the weekend.

Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 to Compete at Spa, Styled After 300 SEL 6.8 AMG
Forty years after Mercedes took home an historic 2nd place finish at the 24 Hours of Spa, the German automaker will look to recreate history with a new SLS AMG GT3 race car styled after the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG that competed there in 1971. That car surprised everyone taking second place overall and first in its class in the endurance classic, inaugurating a successful start for the first-ever AMG to compete in motorsports. nd to draw an even stronger historical tie, one of the drivers, Kenneth Heyer, is the son of Hans Heyer, who along with Clemens Schickentanz piloted the big Benz to the winners circle. “It’s a great honour, exactly 40 years after my father’s success, for me to be bringing the Black Falcon SLS AMG GT3 to the starting
A
line of the 24-hour race in SpaFrancorchamps.” said Heyer. “Together with my team colleagues, I will be trying to achieve at least second place. The car will no doubt attract plenty of attention in the lineup with its look reminiscent of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, but naturally the focus will be on a good racing performance. The SLS AMG GT3 has the potential for a place on the winner’s rostrum, but as we all know, a 24-hour race obeys laws of its own.” In addition to this car, Mercedes-Benz will field six more SLS AMG GT3s at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, which runs July 30th and 31st. To help celebrate the occasion, Mercedes got the two cars together for an on-track photo shoot that any car nut can’t help but drool over.

German newspaper Der Spiegel wrote in December that the idea to perform in Bayreuth belongs to the Roberto Paternostro, the musical director of the orchestra. The orchestra is supposed to play Wagner's Siegfried Idyll along with works by the composers Gustav Mahler and Felix Mendelssohn – both Jews whom Wagner held in contempt – and a contemporary Israeli composer. "I realize that parts of Richard Wagner's weltanschauung and Bayreuth's relationship to the Nazi regime can neither be justified nor whitewashed," Paternostro said in a statement. "Yet I am convinced that it is possible to convey the musical significance of Wagner in a new and sophisticated way to the generation which is now coming of age without having to ignore the burdens or historic responsibility." Der Spiegel added that Katharina Wagner, the composer's great-grandaughter who is co-director of the annual opera festival in Bayreuth, said Paternostro had approached her and the city of Bayreuth with the idea and that she had agreed to be its patron.

Parshat Maasei: Armed with the Past BY RABBI BEREL WEIN The parsha of Maasei represents the culmination of the story of Israel’s sojourn in the desert after its escape from Egypt and the revelation of the Torah on Mount Sinai. The Jewish people are poised to enter the Holy Land and to adjust to a more "normal" national existence. anna will no longer come from heaven daily nor will there be miraculous traveling wells of water accompanying them. The parsha now deals with the issues of the borders of Israel and its attendant problems and with the methods of the division of the land amongst its inhabitants. All of this is pretty mundane stuff compared to the heady experiences of the desert - miracles, plagues, rewards and punishments, Moshe’s masked radiant countenance and the thrill of building and servicing the mishakan. The parsha even tells us that there will be murders and murderers in the Land of Israel and that cities or refuge must be built to house them and protect them from avenging enemies. From the Midrash it may be implied that there were no such murderous occurrences during Israel’s sojourn in the desert. In short, the rarified atmosphere and purely spiritual existence of Israel in the Sinai desert is now over. The challenges of creating an ordered, just and Torah society under natural national and human conditions
M
are now the order of the day. It will take four centuries, until the times of Shmuel, Dovid and Shlomo for these challenges to be successfully met. The transition from the supernatural to the mundane is much harder to accomplish successfully than is the transition from the ordinary to the spiritual. To help this transition occur, memory of past events is vital. The newness of the experience of the Land of Israel will be seen in perspective by remembering the previous experiences of Egypt and the desert. Faith and confidence will dominate Jewish life when the Jews recall the history of their existence and their survival and triumph over daunting odds. Rashi indicates that the listing of the thirty-eight encampments of Israel during their trek through the Sinai desert is to remind the Jews of their past difficulties and struggles and how they nevertheless prevailed. Part of the difficulty that Israel faces today in attempting to build a "normal" state and nation is that the early founders of secular Zionism not only denigrated the experiences of the Jewish exile but attempted to erase them from the memory of the "new" Jew they wished to create. Thus, the problems that challenge and disturb us today here in Israel - boundaries and demographics, value systems and the creation of a kinder, gentler Israel - are compounded by the lack of memory that could help us make reference to previous generations’ wisdom and strengths. The truth is that we have all been

Summary of Haftorah:
Haftorah Maasei (Jeremiah 2:4-28; 4:1-2) This week's haftorah is the second of a series of three "haftarot of affliction." These three haftarot are read during the Three Weeks of mourning for Jerusalem, between the fasts of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av. The prophet Jeremiah transmits G d's message to the Jewish people; in strong tones chastising all the sectors of the people, including the leadership, for their abandonment of G-d. "What wrong did your forefathers find in Me, that they distanced themselves from Me, and they went after futility and themselves became futile?" He reminds them of the kindness G-d did for them, taking them out of Egypt and leading them through the desert and settling them in the Promised Land, yet they repaid kindness with disloyalty. "For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the spring of living waters, [and furthermore, this was in order] to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water." G-d asks them to view the actions of their neighboring nations, the Kittites and Kedarites. "And see whether there was any such thing, whether a nation exchanged a god although they are not gods. Yet My nation exchanged their glory for what does not avail." Jeremiah then goes on to foretell the suffering the Jewish people will suffer at the hands of their enemies, and also their erstwhile allies: "Your evil will chastise you, and you will be rebuked for your backslidings; and you shall know and see that your forsaking the Lord your G-d is evil and bitter." The haftorah ends on an encouraging note, assuring the people that if they return to Gd with sincerity, they will be restored to their full glory. HAFOTRAH SUMMARY COURTESY OF CHABAD.ORG.

SHOCKED INTO SILENCE: RESPONDING TO THE HORRIFIC MURDER OF LEIBY KLETZKY BY RABBI NECHEMIA COOPERSMITH I was in the unenviable position of having to inform my wife that they found the body of Leiby Kletzky. Her face turned white. "What happened to him?" was silent. I could not bring myself to describe the horrific manner in which this innocent child was brutally murdered. By a Jew. The words, even if whispered in a hushed tone, could not leave my mouth. "Worse than anything you can imagine… I can't talk about it." I wasn't the only one who was shocked into silence. The most prevailing response in the 2000 plus comments expressing readers' condolences from around the world on Aish.com was "there are no words." It felt as if the Jewish nation was rendered speechless, reeling from a punch in the gut, unable to grasp such incomprehensible horror. Our silence in the face of tragedy is reminiscent of Aaron's response to the sudden death of his two sons, budding leaders of the Jewish people, who were cut down in the prime of life. "And Aaron was silent" (Leviticus, 10:3). Aaron's silence was borne from a total acceptance of Divine will, despite his enormous loss. Our silence, at least in part, stems from denial, the first instinctual response that provides a modicum of safety that our world can remain the same, kids can go to camp unharmed, our Jewish neighborhood is a haven of basically good people. If we don't talk about it, we can push away the weight of grief and horror. But perhaps the universal reaction of silence hints to something else, something that goes to the core of what it means to be human. When G-d creates man, fusing the dust of
I
the earth with the breath of life – a soul, the Torah says "and man became a living soul." The translator Onkelos interprets "living soul" to mean a "speaking spirit." It is our unique ability to speak that makes us truly human. Speech is the bridge that joins the world of thought to the world of action, where heaven meets earth, where the spiritual and the physical – the body and the soul – come together to create the inherent tension point of free will. Being exposed to unimaginable brutality, graphically described in the reports of Leiby Kletzky's murder, affects us. Evil that had previously not been a part of our world crashes through our psyche's door and penetrates our soul. It chips away at our humanity, leaving us numb to the core. How can any human being commit such crimes? The result is that we are struck dumb. Speech, the defining characteristic of being human, "goes into exile" as the Kabbalists describe it, because our humanity is shaken. We are less human. Witnessing such horror and debasement, we have been shocked into silence. But we dare not remain silent. The last few days I've been walking around in a fog of sadness and grief, as if I have suffered a personal trauma. And I know so many others feel the same. The Sages of the Talmud tell us the "silence is tantamount to admission." If you don't agree with a proposition or accusation leveled at you, say something. Otherwise your silence speaks volumes. Witnessing such horror and debasement, we have been shocked into silence, feeling that there are no words, only tears. However, we dare not remain silent. When our speech is in exile, when our humanity has been weakened, we need to do something to restore our humanity, to restore our speech. We need to strengthen and elevate our humanity by activating our souls.
The Talmud (Sotah 2a) instructs one who has witnessed a person accused of immorality to take an extra stringency upon himself in that area, to actively distance himself further from evil, even though he himself has not
engaged in any sinful act. Since his reality has been expanded to include something so negative and destructive, he must work on increasing the positive forces in his life to

Backache? Check Your Genes AN ISRAELI RESEARCHER HAS FOUND A LINK BETWEEN BACK PAIN AND GENETICS
Genes have a lot to do with backaches according to new Israeli research. About 75 percent of people experience back pain at some point in their lives, particularly as they get older. But until now, little has been understood about the causes and mechanisms of this common problem. ow, research from Prof. Gregory Livshits of Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine shows that genes have a lot to do with backaches, and each type of pain may have different genetic origins. The results of this study, carried out with scientists at London’s Kings College and recently published in the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, may help identify the different mechanisms involved in back pain and lead to more effective treatment options.
N
IDENTICAL TWINS, IDENTICAL PAINS It’s clearly not just genetics that contributes to back pain. Human anatomy is also a major cause, since walking upright causes strain and subsequent deterioration of the muscular skeletal system. Excessive body weight or physical exertion frequently aggravates the problem. However, the new research shows that genes play a key role in lower back pain and in the deterioration of intervertebral discs of the spine. Livshits says these two phenomena don’t necessarily occur together, and are caused by different genetic factors. Preliminary testing done in Israel more than 10 years ago gave scientists their first clue to the connection between genetics and back pain. A study conducted on Arab families revealed recurring patterns of lower back pain. Many relatives of the same family would develop the same symptoms, even at a young age. To further test these observations, Livshits and his team looked at a sample twin population of 2,500 individuals, comprising both identical and non-identical female twins. They tested for several potential risk factors, such as smoking, weight, physical labor
and vertebral disc degeneration, as well as genetic predisposition. Each subject got a thorough battery of tests: MRIs of the spine; radiographic assessment of muscle, fat and bone mass; and blood work to determine DNA, genotype and potential biomarkers associated with joint disease. _______________________________
“Preliminary testing done in Israel more than 10 years ago gave scientists their first clue to the connection between genetics and back pain.” _______________________________ Non-identical twins who share half their genes were almost three times more likely to suffer from back pain if their twin did so as well. Identical twins, who share all of their genes, were six times more likely to have joint disease if their twin had the same disease.
REFINING GENETIC TESTING Although disc degeneration is often associated with lower back pain, researchers discovered that the two conditions could exist independently, and are caused by separate genetic factors. “We have genetic factors that affect the rate and extent of the degeneration of our discs. In fact, the genetic factors are second only to age,” explains Livshits. “On the other side, we have different genetic factors that independently cause lower back pain. These are mechanisms not involved in spine degeneration.” This discovery could revolutionize the study and treatment of back pain, he says. More research on the genetic causes of back pain is indicated, along with a broader genome search of affected and non-affected individuals. To accomplish that, Livshits hopes to put together a consortium of research groups made up of university-based scientists in several countries.

They changed the lives of a whole generation.” “The Jewish people owe the Adelsons a debt of gratitude,” said Robert P. Aronson, President of the Birthright Israel Foundation. “Their ongoing generosity has enabled tens of thousands of young adults, whom we otherwise could not have sent, to experience the life-changing journey of a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip.”

The Adelson challenge will help promote Birthright Israel’s goal of increasing participant numbers – from 30,000 a year today to 51,000 annually by 2013, almost doubling the number of young adults able to go on the Taglit-Birthright Israel trip. Reaching this new record number of participants would mean that one of every two young Jewish adults would be able to participate. At the beginning of the year, the Government of Israel announced $100 million in funding over three years, contingent on matching funds raised in North America and other Jewish Communities around the world. The Birthright Israel Foundation hopes to raise $58.6 million this year, up from $49 million raised last year. Beyond the Adelson Family Foundation pledge, there has been a 20% increase in the campaign so far this year compared to funds raised in the same period in 2010. In May, at a reception for Birthright Israel’s most generous donors in New York City, Mr. Adelson told the story of his parents who had always wanted to travel to Israel, but could not afford it. Eventually, Mr. Adelson was able to cover the cost of his parents’ trip, but by then they were unable to travel and, in the end, passed away without visiting Israel. “I made a promise that I would do everything I could to help any young person who wanted to visit Israel to be able to do so,” Adelson said. The Adelson’s ongoing support for Birthright represents but one facet of the family’s charitable works. In 2006, Adelson contributed $25 million to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority. Adelson has provided over $25 million in funding to the

evil, and re-attach ourselves to G-d and to what is good and true in the world. I can leave the fog that is encasing me when I reach out to give my children an extra hug, when I choose to be patient and caring,
when I choose to get out of my own petty concerns and think about others. Instead of only reeling from this horrific tragedy, let's work to channel our pain and shock towards doing good, strengthening our souls individ-

Also addressing the assemblage was Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States who spoke of the meritorious deeds of such righteous gentiles as MajorGeneral Orde Charles Wingate, a British Army officer and creator of special Jewish military units in British mandated Palestine in the 1930s and in World War II.
Ambassador Oren said that as a devoutly religious Christian, Wingate became an ardent supporter of Zionism, seeing it as his religious duty to help the Jewish community in Palestine form an independent Jewish state. Also lauding the multifarious accomplishments of the late Washington state senator, Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Oren said, "As a child Senator Jackson was taught to respect Jews in the Christian home he grew up in" and credited him with sponsoring legislation
aimed at freeing Jews from the former Soviet Union. In 1974, while in the Senate, Jackson co-sponsored what has come to be known as the Jackson-Vanik amendment with Charles Vanik sponsoring it in the House. The amendment was intended to help refugees, specifically Jews, to emigrate from the former USSR. He recalled that such celebrated Soviet prisoners of conscience such as Natan (Anatoly) Sharansky who currently holds the position of chairman of the Jewish Agency in Israel, praised Jackson as a "defender of
Israel; a torch bearer of faith." Between speakers, the 5000 ebullient CUFI members enjoyed a sumptuous dinner while listening to the organization's orchestra play traditional Jewish and Israeli songs. Many rose from their seats waving both American and Israeli flags and blew shofars to express their solidarity with the speakers. The evening concluded with a pledge by members to continue their support for Israel while making plans to return for next year's summit.
Human rights organizations and medical journals blame Israel only—although in 2009, the founder of Human Rights Watch finally criticized his own organization for doing so. Tragically, our new theatre stars wish to be seen as "anti-racists;" yet, by holding Arab and Muslim countries to much lower standards, and by condemning their inhabitants to continued Islamist barbarism, they fail every ethical test of non-racism. And, their anti-Zionism is an unacknowledged form of anti-Semitism or racism which remains a politically correct pleasure. Big Lies and monstrous hatred have gone

Otherwise, we will all be bombed back into the Arabian 7th century, the women who survive will all wear burqas, we will be ruled by misogynistic barbarians.

In 1975, the United Nations resolved that "Zionism is a form of racism" and has since passed 322 resolutions condemning Israel and not one condemning any Arab country. Europeans and Americans have launched countless petitions to boycott Israel-only. Fifty Israeli and 150 American artists launched a performance boycott against the Israeli city Ariel. Meanwhile, they or their colleagues continue to perform in Cairo, Ramallah, Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates. Free spirited theatre people have
allied themselves with the most regressive and repressive of ideologies and condemned Israel, the only country that does not honor murder women, or jail and torture dissidents, artists, or homosexuals. Obama's United States, along with the Western intelligentsia, wrongly blame Israel for the peace failure; they believe that it would be "racist" or "Islamophobic" to expect the Palestinians to first accept Israel's existence as a Jewish state as a precondition for any real peace negotiation. Instead, the American media blames Israel for "not caring about peace," or for "provoking" the Palestinians into murdering Israeli civilians.

Such a request, however well motivated, contains no small measure of naivete. What is the purpose of mediation with a group that is determined to impose Sharia law on the country and is willing to countenance the
death of hundreds of thousands by starvation in order to demonstrate its steadfastness? The intervention in Libya was launched to save a few thousand lives. In Somalia, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of
lives are endangered and there is no talk of intervention. The US humanitarian intervention in Somalia during the 1990s ended disastrously. No one has any enthusiasm for a second attempt at nation building in a failed state.

North Korea Seen Conducting Large-Scale Military Drill Soon... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 Analysts say South Korean and U.S. military intelligence units are closely monitoring activities at the Onchon air base and Nampo naval facility to the southwest of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. U.S. Forces Korea, said in an e-mail that it cannot comment on intelligence matters and does not “feel it appropriate to speculate on press reports.” Monday, North Korea’s official news agency reported that leader Kim Jong-il and his son and heir apparent Kim Jong-un had visited the Navy command in Pyongyang. North Korea is blamed for the sinking of a South Korean warship in the Yellow Sea in 2010. It also launched an artillery attack on a South Korean island in the same waters last year. North Korea has repeatedly denied that its torpedo sank the Cheonan warship. As for the shelling of Yeonpyeong island,
Pyongyang called it a response to South Korea’s military firing into disputed waters. Last month, South Korea inaugurated a new defense command to protect Yeonpyeong and four other frontline islands. At the time, President Lee Myung-bak said South Korea would retaliate “strongly and thoroughly” if the North attacked again. The western sea has long been a flashpoint for the two Koreas. In recent days, North Korea has been warning of military retaliation if South Korea and the United States go ahead next month with an annual exercise. North Korean media are terming the joint maneuver an open military threat and preparation for a nuclear attack on the country. U.S. and South Korean military officials term the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise a routine defensive training “to enhance the combat readiness” of their
alliance. The new commander of the Combined Forces Command, U.S. Army General James Thurman, says the exercise will include “tough and realistic training events focused on preparing, preventing and prevailing against the full range of current and future threats to the Republic of Korea and the region." The ten-day drill, beginning in midAugust, will see the mobilization of tens of thousands of South Korean and American military personnel. The military training on both sides of the demilitarized zone comes amid positive diplomatic moves. For the first time in two-and-a-half years government officials of the two Koreas have held their first non-secret meeting. That took place last Friday on the sidelines of the ASEAN regional forum on an
Indonesian resort island. Immediately after that surprise meeting, the United States invited a top-ranking North Korean diplomat to New York. He is to meet with U.S. diplomats there, later this week. The two Koreas have never signed a peace treaty since their three-year civil war in the early 1950’s, which they fought to a stalemate. Wednesday marks the 58th anniversary of the signing of the armistice which halted hostile action. North Korea celebrates it as “War Victory Day.” At the truce village, Panmunjom, the day is to be commemorated at a short ceremony attended by the military and civilian leadership of the U.S.-led United Nations Command, South Korean officials and the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission.

Markowitz Slapped With Hefty Fine for Taking Freebies from Foreign Governments... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 The conflicts of interest panel said Markowitz asked the board for its opinion prior to embarking on the first trip, and was told he should cover his wife's expenses personally. Markowitz did not dispute receiving the paid travel for his wife, but argued that the conduct was not in violation of the New York City Charter, or at least, that the board had not stated explicitly that it would be a viola-
tion. The administrative law judge "did not find those arguments persuasive, nor does this board," according to the COIB’s ruling. Markowitz also claimed at the hearing that neither he nor his wife received personal benefits, as the travel was all businessrelated. "There is some merit to this point," the judge said, noting that the itineraries showed
little in the way of leisure time. Ultimately, though, the judge decided that the opportunity for the wife to travel at little or no cost in and of itself constituted a personal benefit. Markowitz had also claimed at the hearing that he is "not a good flyer" and that he needed his wife to accompany him in order to perform his official duties. The judge said choosing to travel in the first place was his decision, and once he made it, bringing his
wife was a personal benefit in violation of the city charter. The borough president said in a statement Monday that he was not ashamed of what he did and said the fine was unfair. "When Jamie and I were on these trips, foreign officials looked at us as a team and my wife and I were proud to represent Brooklyn and New York," Markowitz said.

Perry has begun making forays into New Hampshire where he declares his enthusiasm for the "Granite State's" brand of retail politics where voters are convinced one by one. Texas politics is wholesale politics due to the size of the state and to succeed you must know how to raise funds. Perry is a proven success both in state politics as well as in the post of Chairman of the Republican Governors Conference.
While the record of the Obama administration is debatable, there is one thing that nobody questions: Barack Obama, unopposed for the Democratic nomination, will have a substantial political war chest at his disposal. The Republican candidate may not equal it but he has to come close. Perry with his Texas base and fundraising ability can make this into a fight as well.

MORRIS BAILEY AND THE FUTURE OF NJ HORSE RACING Continued from Cover ble bankruptcy in December of 2010, Gomes and Bailey rescued it from near death. The first six months have been no easy ride for the new owners of Resorts as they've had to slash employees' salaries in order to cut costs and were engaged in litigation stemming from lawsuits filed by older female employees. Gomes and Bailey can now breathe a sigh of relief because as of July 13th, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission finally granted them a permanent casino license. Despite his forays into the arenas of casino gambling and horseracing, Bailey is best known as a well-regarded real estate mogul. He is the owner of JEMB Realty Corporation, a New York City-based company with over $4 billion in assets and whose diverse properties include a shopping mallturned-office complex in Arizona, a skyscraper in Montreal, a resort in the Poconos, and Burger King franchises in Manhattan and New Jersey. As the owner of 15 thoroughbred race horses and an avid horse racing fan, Bailey couldn't resist the opportunity to be a major player in the future of New Jersey horseracing, when earlier this year he learned that the State of New Jersey was offering a five-year lease of the track to interested parties. The deal included the profitable Woodbridge offtrack wagering facility, licenses for four additional OTWs to be built in the state and 50 percent of the state’s take on internet and phone wagering. The fledgling racetrack has been a financial albatross to the cashstrapped state, with over $6.1 million in losses in the last year, according to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. Along with seven other prospective lessees including Greenwood Racing (partowner of Freehold Raceway and the owners of Atlantic City Race Course and Philadelphia Park); John Brunetti (owner of Hialeah Park); Ocala Meadows (representing Frank Stronach); BetFair (owners of TVG); the Angelo Gordon investment firm; Oceanport resident Bernard Dowd; and Mike Musto (representing the New Jersey Horsemen’s Association), Mr. Bailey handed
over a check for $25,000 in March to the NJSEA for a prospectus on every aspect of the operations and expenditures involving Monmouth Park. It was reported in early April that Morris Bailey would be expected to be awarded the five-year lease after submitting the strongest of three bids. In order to reduce costs, Bailey sought an agreement from the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association for a reduction of racing days from the legislationmandated 141 to 71, the same as last year. Monmouth would then conduct a Friday through Sunday meet in the summer and would race on weekends in the fall, with overnight purses expected to average a minimum of $400,000. Last season, the horsemen's association agreed to the reduced schedule when Monmouth featured an Elite Meet in which purses averaged $1 million for 50 days of summer racing. “We believe Morris Bailey is the right guy to operate Monmouth Park and we support the state’s decision, but it doesn’t mean that we won’t maintain the position that we’ve had all along — and that’s a 141-day scenario,” said John Forbes, president of the horsemen’s group. He added that, "There’s no doubt that he (Bailey) has a lot of work to
do. Morris is now the future of racing in New Jersey, and he’s expected to do it without the subsidy support the state had when it ran the track." The purchase of Monmouth signifies the first time that the State of New Jersey will be out of the horse racing business since 1976. Initially, it appears that keeping Monmouth Park solvent will be a formidable task for Bailey, as the track is projected to lose between $6 million and $8 million, most
Offering his perspective on Mr. Bailey's business acumen, John Forbes, president of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association said, "Through this process what I found amazing is what a quick study he is. You can see how he got to where he is. He’s just a remarkable intellect.” Born in Atlantic City, Mr. Bailey left there at age 13 after his father died, with his mother moving her seven children to
of which will come out of Bailey’s pockets. “I see this as a three to five year development project,” said Bailey, adding that “In the meantime I’m prepared to ensure that we have high-quality racing. That will cost money, and I’m prepared to see it through.” His vision for the future of Monmouth will focus on transforming it into a multifaceted entertainment destination. Headlining this season's schedule at Monmouth Park will be the $1 million Haskell Invitational, which is set for July 31st. Bailey plans to promote this through extensive cross-marketing with Resorts Casino, starting with the hotel’s sponsorship of the heralded event. The day will also include eight stakes events on its schedule including the Grade 3 Oceanport Stakes and
Brooklyn to be closer to relatives. As a prominent member of the Sephardic Jewish community, he still lives there and also owns homes in Deal, New Jersey and in Florida; near the Gulfstream Park Racetrack outside Miami. His first business venture was operating go-carts with a couple of buddies at Coney Island at age 20. “We did well,” Bailey said, “but it was seasonal there. We ended up looking for a year-round season, so we went to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico was hot then because of the Cuban revolution and all of the people who were coming there.” “It’s a remarkable story — where he (Bailey) came from to where he is now,” said Bob Kulina, Monmouth Park’s vice president and general manager. Bailey, who dropped out of Brooklyn College after six months to work, said he “didn’t walk into a racetrack until I was 25 — and probably later than that.” He was immediately captivated by the challenge of handicapping, which soon led to a partnership in his first horse. Though he has scaled back on the number of horses he owns now, he still has 15, as well as two broodmares. Eddie Gaudet has been his trainer for the past 20 years. “I’m not surprised he was interested in Monmouth Park because he has a passion for the place and is an avid thoroughbred horse racing fan,” said Ron Riccio, the former Seton Hall Law School dean who represented Bailey in negotiations with the state and the horsemen. Dennis Gomes, who partnered with Bailey to buy Resorts Casino in Atlantic City last year said, "I know he loves horses, but he’s the consummate businessman. He only does things because he considers them a great opportunity or a good business proposition." Bailey is described as a relentless workaholic with boundless energy, but at heart is a
the Grade 3 Taylor Made Matchmaker Stakes. Some of the other big purses this summer include the Grade 1 United Nations Stakes ($750,000), held on July 2nd, the Grade 2 Molly Pitcher Stakes ($250,000) scheduled for Aug. 28th and the Grade 3 Iselin Stakes ($250,000) on Aug. 20th. The deal has been rubber-stamped by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is eager to see racing ventures privatized in his state. In a statement released in May, Governor Christie said, "I was determined to bring this deal home. There are many beneficiaries: We’re saving a New Jersey tradition with the continuation of live horse racing at the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park; we are saving and creating jobs; and we are helping to preserve New Jersey farmland and a way of life for many people, from horse farm owners and employees, to jockeys to racing enthusiasts." "I'm not comfortable with being known. That’s going to be a problem for me,” Bailey said during a rare media interview published last month in the New Jersey Star-Ledger. “I’m going to have to deal with it. Hopefully, people who recognize me when I’m in the dining room know that I’m there to enjoy the races and will respect that privacy."
true family man. As the father of two daughters and the grandfather of nine, as of late he has carved out much more time to spend with his family. Mr. Bailey is also a philanthropic icon who has established a stellar reputation as an exceptionally magnanimous benefactor to an extensive network of charities, schools and service related organizations. As the founder of the famed Sephardic Community Center in Brooklyn, Mr. Bailey has consistently dedicated himself to the needs of the community that he grew up in and where his closest friends still reside. Said SCC co-founder and Bailey's boyhood friend Bunny Escava, "Morris and I grew up together in Brooklyn and his entire life has been devoted to performing good deeds. If it were not for his passion and commitment, there would be no Community Center. He deeply respects the Sephardic culture and Jewish faith that has been such an important part of his life. He sits on the board of directors of the Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn and is the founder of the Sephardic Community Alliance." According to sources close to Mr. Bailey, his deeply held belief in the paramount importance of education for Sephardic youngsters, led him to take a personal role in ensuring the future success of Magen David Yeshiva. Seeking to foster harmonious relations within his community, Mr. Bailey has also been in the forefront of building the Sephardic Community Alliance. According to its web site, the SCA is an organization

Said another close friend of Morris Bailey who chose to remain anonymous: "If someone asked me to tell them who the real Morris Bailey is, I can most assuredly say, based on the fact that I've known him very well for many years, that he is a man with a genuine heart of gold. We all know that he is a superlative businessman, but his first priority in life remains his family, his community, and giving to others. He is always ready to help a worthwhile cause or charity and lend his personal time to help another in need. He is a true star in every sense of the word."

JEWISH LEADERS APPLAUD TSA FOR ADDRESSING BOTH New SECURITY AND MODESTY CONCERNS Technology Allows for Less Invasive Full-Body Scans Agudath Israel of America, a national Orthodox Jewish organization, is commending the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for developing and implementing new technology that will show only generic images of travelers passing through security checkpoints at the nation’s airports. Suspicious articles being carried on board flights will appear on these images and will alert agency personnel as to a possible security risk. If suspicious articles are absent, no image at all will appear on the security officer’s screen. ince 2005, Agudath Israel has highlighted a variety of issues to the agency, including the religious and privacy concerns previous methods of body scanning (e.g. backscatting) had implicated. Aside from the explicit nature of the images, questions were raised about who sees the images and how they are stored. Agudath Israel worked closely early on with the ACLU in objecting to the scans and, in time, several faith groups joined in opposing use of the technology. Legislation was also introduced in Congress by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) that would have limited the use of full body scanners. “The scans were the subject of numerous communications and meetings over the years,” said Rabbi Abba Cohen, the Agudath

The procedure of scanning currently used in the airports generated a serious wave of complaints from religious groups as well as freedom and privacy advocates. Israel’s Vice President for Federal Government Affairs and Washington Director. “The agency has taken our concerns seriously and steady progress has been made,” he added. Since 9/11, security at the nation’s airports has been significantly tightened, rais-
ing questions of whether the government’s actions have led to substantial curtailing of civil and religious liberties. This concern was heightened this past winter when the TSA instituted full body pat-downs, which has received much public criticism. Those who opted out of the scan were required to undergo the pat down. “Many in our commu-
nity were caught in the dilemma of deciding which indignity they’d rather suffer: a full body scan or of a full body pat down.” Now, with the change to generic images, there generally should be no need for the pat down. Only when passengers set off an alert or when they refuse to go through the scan will the rigorous pat down be required. “We are a community that is particularly sensitive to the threat of terrorism and the need for strict security measures,” said Rabbi Cohen, “but we were convinced that, with perseverance, both religious concerns and security issues could be accommodated. There are other civil rights issues that still need to be addressed but it looks like this one has been resolved to the satisfaction of all.”
Taxes Expire but Airlines Keep Price the Same
Last week, nearly all the major U.S. airlines had raised fares to offset taxes that expired the over the weekend. Airlines tossed consumers aside and grabbed the benefit of lower federal taxes on travel tickets. Instead of passing along the savings, the airlines are pocketing the money while customers pay the same amount as before. merican, United, Continental, Delta, US Airways, Southwest, AirTran and JetBlue all raised fares, although details sometimes differed. Most of the increases were around 7.5 percent. Or about $25 on the average $300.00 ticket. Only a few airlines were passing the tax break on to passengers, they include Virgin America, Frontier Airlines and Alaska Airlines. The expiring taxes can total $25 or more on a typical $300 round-trip ticket. They taxes expired on midnight Friday night the
A
22, of July 2011, after when Congress failed to pass legislation to keep the Federal Aviation Administration running. The airlines then had a choice: They could do nothing — and pass the savings to customers — or grab some of the money themselves. “We adjusted prices so the bottom-line price of a ticket remains the same as it was before … expiration of federal excise taxes,” said American spokesman Tim Smith. US Airways spokesman John McDonald said much the same thing — passengers will pay the same amount for a ticket as they did before the taxes expired this way there will be no confusion for the passengers. They declined to say whether the increases would be rescinded if Congress revives the travel taxes. But the man on the street said that it a safe bet that the airlines will just add another 7.5 % and blame it on the government.

FAA SHUTDOWN CAUSES HOTELS IN ‘BUILDING RUSH’ RIPPLE ECONOMIC DAMAGE TO MEET TOURISM DEMAND Artist rendering of Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ashdod
There are many FAA projects around the country that are in the process of being readied for completion. The projects include new terminals, runways and infrastructure. ut last week a legislative stalemate between Republicans and Democrats in Congress forced the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, the furlough of nearly 4,000 federal workers and the issuance of stop-work orders for dozens of airport construction projects across the country. The work stoppage at the FAA does not only affect the actual workers at the projects but also hurt the local economy where the work is being done. It affects the designers, the suppliers and all the other people on the periphery of the projects. The FAA has also told airports to stop work on the installation of runway status lights, a new safety system aimed at preventing planes from colliding on the ground or taking off or landing on closed runways. It should be remembered that two planes recently collided at the Boston Logan airport. Construction officials at the Las Vegas airport were told that they have until the end of the week to wrap up their work and then stop. Construction on a new airport tower has also been delayed. The possibility of ending the legislative dispute between the House and Senate does not appear to be imminent, with neither side willing to compromise. The FAA's operating authority expired last week. Air traffic controllers have continued to work, as well as FAA employees who inspect the safety of planes and test pilots. Transportation officials have said safety won't be compromised. But it was unclear how long the FAA can continue day-to-day operations before travelers begin to feel the effects of the shutdown. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said there have been no negotiations between the House and Senate to resolve the dispute. Republican leaders defended their posi-
B
tion saying that they are determined to hold to their position, that the Senate must accept a House-passed bill to extend FAA operations through mid-September even though it contains a provision eliminating $16.5 million in air service subsidies for 13 rural airports. Democrats say that provision is unacceptable. "This is sort of sad, you know," Mica told reporters. "On the eve of the country's financial near collapse, it's sort of symbolic of the whole problem here, no one is willing to eliminate any wasteful programs." After airlines were deregulated in 1978 the subsidy program was created to ensure continued service on less profitable routes to remote communities. But as the countries population grew all those communities became less remote. The GOP provision would end subsidies where subsidies average greater than $1,000 per passenger or to communities less than 90 miles from a hub airport. Democrats said the real issue is that Republicans are insisting they accept a host of controversial provisions added to a longterm FAA spending bill approved by the House. Unionization of airline workers is among the key differences sought by the industry. Back in February the Senate passed its own long-term funding bill, without the labor provision. Democrats are insisting the House drop the provision. They've also accused Republicans of tying the elimination of rural air subsidies to their extension bill as a means to forcing Democrats to make concessions on the labor issue. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., said in a statement that, "House Republicans are nowhere to be found, they are refusing to come back to the negotiating table after pulling yet another cheap political stunt at the expense of rural Americans," The shutdown is costing the FAA about $30 million a day in lost revenue because airlines no longer have authority to collect ticket taxes. That money goes into an aviation trust fund. The fund "has a healthy balance now, but that would be depleted in fairly rapid order" without congressional action, FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said.
Record tourism has prompted proposals for eight new hotels in Israel and the expansion of 12 others. Jerusalem remains the center of attraction. uilding proposals amounting to 2.4 billion shekels ($700 million) for 3,600 hotel rooms have been submitted to the Tourism Ministry. Tourism has hit new records and is expected to increase in the next few years, aggravating the current shortage of hotel rooms if new construction does not take place. Jerusalem, which is visited by 80 percent of foreign tourists, suffers from the most severe shortage in rooms in peak seasons. The Tourism Ministry is funding 20 percent of the cost for hotels, except in the capital, where it will grant 26 percent of expenditures. The 32 requests for new hotel rooms were submitted this week, the deadline set according to the new Law for the
B
Encouragement of Capital Investments. Eleven proposals were submitted for hotels in Jerusalem, which are expected to add an additional 1,600 rooms. Other proposals submitted were for hotels to be built mostly in the North: around the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), Nazareth, the Galilee, Tiberias and Haifa. In 2010, projects worth 1.2 billion shekels ($350 million) for 3,000 hotel rooms were approved and are now in the planning stages. Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov said he will propose that the regional preference map for tourism include Eilat, the Lower Galilee, as well as HaMaayanot Valley and the nearby city of Beit She’an, next to the Jordan Valley. The current list includes the Negev, the Upper and Western Galilee, the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, Netanya and Haifa. The ministry also intends to remodel abandoned hotels and convert apartments and offices to hotels.

DAVID’S FLOORING OF NEW YORK
July 29, 2011
Saying Lehitra’ot to Myra Kraft, First Lady of Israeli Football BY ARI LOUIS In Israel we try not to say goodbye to our friends but rather lehitra’ot, (till the next time). The first time I met Mrs. Kraft was November of last year. It was the first game of the Israel Football League’s regular season between the Jerusalem Lions and the Judean Rebels, who would go on to win the 2011 IFL title. There was a lot of fanfare and attention paid to this game. tay Ashkanazi (son of retired General Gabi Ashkanazi) started as Quarterback for the Lions. The Rebels, who were the subject of a documentary and CNN report, are a team comprised of settlers and Palestinians. As I called the play-by-play for Israel Sports Radio in the press box, I looked to my right and noticed Myra Kraft. Mrs. Kraft, the wife of Robert Kraft, CEO of the New England Patriots flew in from New England to throw out the ceremonial first ball of the season. I expected that, like most important and influential people, she would leave the stadium after she made her appearance. Mrs. Kraft stayed the entire game and not only did she stay for the entire game, she sat in the press box with me and my partner Andrew Gershman, laughing and smiling as we broadcasted the game. Mrs. Kraft, the main woman responsible for women’s flag football here in Israel, sat in the press box with grace and humility. She could have easily bragged about all the good she had done for our sports community, but bragging was not the motivation for Mrs. Kraft’s good works. Mrs. Kraft came from a generation where good deeds and positive actions were not considered extraordinary, they were considered mandatory. To think of all the lives Mrs. Kraft touched! Women’s football gives women here in Israel a proper outlet to deal with the difficulties of Israeli life and it gives these young ladies an opportunity to make
I
Myra Kraft, the wife of Robert Kraft, CEO of the New England Patriots. long-lasting friendships as well as an inner confidence which can only be discovered in sports. Mrs. Kraft was famous for her good works in the National Football League as well. The NFL is in the midst of its first work stoppage since 1987 and negotiations were paused a day out of respect to the passing of Mrs. Kraft. At the funeral, former Patriot players talked about their fondness for Mrs. Kraft and reminisced about how Mrs. Kraft took a genuine interest in their lives. I look at Mrs. Kraft as an inspiration to do good for other people, to take a genuine interest in the lives of others and to touch lives through positive action. I say lehitra’ot to Mrs. Kraft because I know that just as I saw you in the press box back in November I hope to see you where you are right now, in Gan Eden.

Beitar Jerusalem Soccer Team Bought by American Investors Arcadi Gaydamak, who acquired the club in 2005, has sold Beitar Jerusalem to Dan Adler and Adam Levin Arcadi Gaydamak has reached an agreement to sell Beitar Jerusalem to US businessmen Dan Adler and Adam Levin. Gaydamak acquired the Ligat Ha'al soccer team in 2005 and won back-to-back league championships in 2006/07 and 2007/08. Under his ownership, the team also won two Israel FA Cups in 2007/08 and 2008/09. owever, Gaydamak lost interest in the team after the economic crisis of 2008. He reportedly invested more than $100 million in the team, mainly before the crisis, which hit his business empire hard. It is unclear how much Adler and Levin are paying for the club, if anything. But their intervention comes just after the team agreed a budget of NIS 25 million for next season, and one of the new owners first tasks will be to put at least NIS 10 million into the club, which is on the brink of bankruptcy. Gaydamak is one of several foreign Jewish owners who put money into Israeli soccer clubs but have now pulled out including Daniel Jammer at Maccabi Netanya and Alex Shnaider at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
H
Dan Adler one of the new owners of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team. Beitar Jerusalem spokesman Assaf Shaked confirmed that Gaydamak had sold the club. He said, "Beitar has passed into the hands of new owners. This is a happy moment for the club and the fans. We have been through a difficult period recently." The deal was reportedly brokered in London over the past few days where club chairman Itzik Kornfein met with Adler and Levin, who are both known as generous donors to Israeli causes.
