Pakistani police said Weinstein was believed to be in his 60s, and had returned to Lahore the previous night from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. He had told his staff that would be wrapping up his final project and leaving Pakistan by Monday. “He’s a short, funny man with a quick wit,” said Raza Rumi, a Pakistani journalist who last saw Weinstein about a year ago and said the American could speak a fair amount
of Urdu. “He’s a very laid-back guy, not too worried about security issues, not really paranoid at all.” The unusually brazen raid illustrates the threat to foreigners in terror-wracked, USallied Pakistan. According to Pakistani police, two of the abductors showed up at Weinstein’s house and persuaded the guards there to open the gate by saying they wanted to give them food—an act of sharing common during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started in August. As the guards opened the gate, five other men suddenly appeared. The assailants, who were armed, punched and kicked the security guards, overpowering them before storming

Several more abductors were believed to have entered through the back of the residence. The gunmen snatched Weinstein from his
bedroom, hustling him out of the house and into a nearby vehicle. They did not take any other items from the house, police official Attiqur Rehman said. Police declined to speculate on the motive, and no group immediately claimed responsibility. Security forces are checking vehicles at posts on the outskirts of the city in hopes of finding Weinstein, said Ghulam Mahmood Dogar, a deputy inspector-general of police. Earlier this week, the US State Department issued a travel warning for its citizens saying that American diplomats are facing increased harassment and they, along with aid workers and journalists, have been falsely identified as spies in the local media.
PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS STRIKE BEERSHEBA, MAJOR ISRAELI CITY, WITH LONG-RANGE GRAD ROCKET RESIDENTS SCRAMBLE FOR COVER IN BOMB SHELTERS, CONCRETE STRUCTURES Terrorists in Hamas-run Gaza fired a long-range Grad rocket at Israel yesterday. It struck Beersheba, one of Israel’s largest cities with a population of approximately 200,000, located 25 miles from the Israel-Gaza border. obody was killed in the attack but residents were forced to rush for the safety of bomb shelters as sirens rang out. Parents, children, and the elderly ran for cover under concrete ceilings if they could not reach bomb shelters. “My kids were running around, it was a bit tense,” a nearby resident, Menachem Yidov, said about the attack, Israel’s YNet reported. So far this year, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired 365 rockets and mortars at Israel—127 more rockets and mortars than the 238 fired in all of last year. Before February of this year, Beersheba had not been targeted by rocket attacks since Operation Cast Lead, Israel’s defensive against Hamas in Gaza at the end of 2008. The Israel Air Force (IAF) targeted Hamas fighters in Gaza in response to the attack. It also thwarted another rocket-attack attempt by striking a smuggling tunnel. One armed Hamas operative was killed and two other Hamas fighters and three civilians were injured in the retaliation. Splinter terror groups have launched a number of the recent attacks on southern Israel. Iran-backed Hamas, the ruling party in Gaza, has either failed to prevent the attacks or has turned its back on such terrorist activities. The Israel Defense Forces

(IDF) “holds the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip,” it said in a media statement. Beersheba’s mayor, Rubik Danilovitch, plans to ask Defense Minister Ehud Barak to redeploy an Iron Dome battery in the city. Iron Dome is a protective barrier that intercepts short-range rockets and artillery shells that are fired from Gaza before they hit Israeli civilians. The innovative Iron Dome

The system averts the need for a ground incursion into Gaza. It is a key component of Israel’s security policy against the ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza. Last week, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired three mortar shells at another region in southern Israel, Shaar Hanegev, located just north of Gaza. There was structural damage and the rocket alert system alerted residents to run for cover.
Civilians in Beersheba, one of Israel's largest cities, were targeted by a long-range rocket attack Monday (Aug. 15) from Hamas-run Gaza. Iron Dome, Israel's advanced rocket interceptor system that shoots down incoming rockets, may be redeployed for protection. “Close to 30 rockets were fired into Israel since the beginning of July,” The Jerusalem Post reported. Due to the escalation in rock-
et fire from Gaza, Defense Minister Barak decided to deploy an Iron Dome battery outside Ashkelon, a city near the targeted area.
IDF SOLUTION FOR SEPTEMBER VIOLENCE: GIVE THE PA MORE GUNS BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN How will the IDF confront a likely outbreak of violence by local Arabs after the PA statehood bid at the United Nations in September?

Iran to Start Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant by August 30 “If Tests Completed”
Completion of the [Bushehr] plant’s construction has been postponed several times due to technical and financial challenges and pressure from the United States. Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoon Abbasi said in Tehran Sunday that the first phase of the Bushehr nuclear power plant will be commissioned by the end of August if the tests underway are completed, the official IRNA news agency reported. f the tests are completed, the first stage of the Bushehr nuclear power plant will surely become operational by the end of Ramadan (August), Abbasi was quoted as saying. Abbasi said the nuclear power plant will join the national grid at the first phase and can consequently generate 40 percent of its total power generation, the semi-official Mehr news agency said. Since the plant will be commissioned in various stages after necessary tests, people should not focus on such marginal issues as the accurate date of commissioning at the cost of ignoring importance of taking main

He stressed the need to observe high standard safety measures after the incidents that happened in Fukushima power plant [in Japan] already, said IRNA. The commissioning is time-consuming in view of observing even the slightest international standards on the project, he said. The International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) has always been monitoring various stages of the project, he added. Abbasi said the plant will be inaugurated later November or December, according to IRNA. In July, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the construction of the plant was almost completed and was currently in the testing stage. He said that by the end of August the Iranian nuclear power plant would join the national grid. “Iranian and Russian officials are currently negotiating the launch date of the power plant,” Mehmanparast said. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said earlier in the month that Russia was awaiting Iran’s decision on the launch date of the Bushehr nuclear power plant. In June, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Bushehr would become operational in early August. Preparations for the launch have progressed according to the plan. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that the construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant is a symbol of Iran and Russia’s cooperation. Ahmadinejad told Russia Today (RT), “I have already talked to President Dmitri Medvedev, who told me there is no obstacle to the plant launching its operations according to the schedule.” The Iranian president announced that the plant is now in inauguration phase and is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year. Construction of the Bushehr plant began in 1975 by several German companies. However, work was halted when the United States imposed an embargo of hi-tech supplies on Iran after the 1979 revolution. Russia signed a contract with Iran to complete the construction in 1998. Completion of the plant’s construction has been postponed several times due to technical and financial challenges and pressure from the United States.

Musician Kaplan Threatens Violent Protest
Hamas Claims Israel Becoming ‘Flexible’ on Gilad Shalit Issue
YIRMI KAPLAN SAYS IF NETANYAHU DOES NOT HEED PROTESTERS THEY SHOULD RESORT TO VIOLENCE BY GIL RONEN
BY ELAD BENARI
Yirmi Kaplan, a rock musician who created several well-known tunes in the 1990s, grabbed headlines Saturday night when he issued a call for violence if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu does not heed the demands of the media-organized protesters in Israel’s streets. e all need to go out and make the earth shake, so that the people making the decisions understand that the ground is shaking, burning,” Kaplan told Channel 10 news. “They should know that if nothing is done, something could happen that is not as nice as artists singing songs.” “Look at what is happening in England, where people are starting to break shops, overturn cars … I am not sure that we will get to that so fast. But if a change fails to happen, I am sorry to say that things need to go in more violent directions.” The protestors in England, by all accounts, have no goal or cause motivating them except looting, violence, and a total disregard for law and property. They destroyed property belonging to all classes, leaving ordinary people ruined. The UK is considering tough measures to crack down on the unbridled delinquency. Kaplan warned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu: “Bibi Netanyahu, who is an expert on history, knows that most revolutions were carried out with a lot of violence. So I think that he is a smart enough person to try and prevent this and to take the necessary

Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal arrived in Cairo on Tuesday amid reports that a new round of talks on a prisoner swap with Israel was due to start in Egypt, Reuters reported. security official in Egypt told the news agency that Meshaal, who arrived in Cairo with a delegation from Hamas, met with Egyptian intelligence officials and discussed reconciliation between Hamas and the Fatah Movement led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The source claimed the discussions “touched” on the issue of a prisoner swap with Israel that would see the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. “The meeting dealt with an assortment of issues, mainly the Palestinian reconciliation,” the official claimed, adding, “The prisoner swap was discussed on the margins of the meeting.” On Monday it was reported that Israel and Hamas resumed negotiations over the release of Shalit, who has been held incommunicado by Hamas for over five years. The London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported that Israel’s emissary, David Meidan, and Hamas terror chief Ahmed Jaabari were in Egypt to conduct indirect negotiations on the Shalit issue. Defense Minister Ehud Barak confirmed Tuesday that there is “a kernel of facts behind rumors about negotiations on the subject of Gilad Shalit,” but would not elaborate, saying only: “We need to maintain self-control.” Hamas has been demanding the release of hundreds of Palestinian Authority terror prisoners held by Israel in exchange for Shalit. Meanwhile, Hamas politburo member Osama Hamdan said Tuesday that Israel has become more flexible in its position on the Shalit issue. Speaking with the Gaza-based Falastin

Neither left nor right. There are people who have, the well connected ones, and there are the ones [who have to fight with] their fingernails. No matter if you are a construction worker or a musician or a driver, it doesn’t matter, I hear the same stories from all of us. We are the ones with the fingernails and they are breaking.” Ynet, a leftist website that has been at the forefront of instigating the housing protests, has been hinting at violence for several days.

Hamdan claimed Israel’s “flexibility” is reflected in the fact that it is now agreeing to have a greater number of released terrorists return to their homes in the PA-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria, rather than expelling them to Gaza or abroad. Such a move would place more Israelis in danger, particularly those living in Jewish Judea and Samaria communities, if the released terrorists attempt to carry out new attacks. Hamdan’s claims have not been confirmed by other sources. The Egyptian source who spoke to Reuters said that “there is no progress on the Shalit file at the moment.”
Poll: Jamaicans Support Israel Over Palestinians
JAMAICANS WHO TAKE POSITION ON CONFLICT SHOW STRONG SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL Jamaica is a long way from the Middle East but among those on the Caribbean island with an opinion, 42 percent want their country to support Israel while only 9 percent favor the Palestinians. poll sponsored by The Israel Project found that the top reason Jamaicans feel their government should stand with Israel is shared values, “including the freedom of speech, religion, press, and the right to vote.” However, Jamaica has supported Israel at the United Nations in the past two years exactly zero percent of the time, according to figures compiled by the U.S. State Department. In September, Jamaica, along with the rest of the world community, will vote on a unilateral Palestinian drive for recognition as a state without negotiations with Israel. The poll found that Jamaicans who take a position on the issue feel, by a three-to-one margin, that such a resolution “will only harden extremists on both sides and make peace much harder to achieve.”
A
On the issue of dividing Jerusalem, there is no consensus. Jamaicans who take a position are evenly split about whether the city should remain entirely under Israel’s control, or if it should be divided between Israel and the Palestinians. “It is clear that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a top priority for the broad population. But, among those who have an opinion, attitudes are decidedly tilted proIsrael,” said Neil Newhouse, a leading Republican pollster and consultant to The Israel Project whose firm conducted the poll. On Iran, 40 percent said they strongly believed that the international community should try to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons compared to six percent who strongly believed that Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. The survey was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies of 926 Jamaican adults, ages 18-64, interviewed June 27-July 18, 2011. The survey has a margin of error of +3.22%.

Freedom House: Obama Iran Offers London ‘Peace Must Call for Assad’s Ouster Keepers’ to Restore Calm In response to the increasingly grave human rights situation in Syria, Freedom House today joined other human rights groups in sending a letter to President Barack Obama asking that he take a number of concrete actions against the Syrian government, including calling for President Bashar al-Assad’s immediate ouster. he atrocities that the Syrian government has perpetrated against its own civilians are beyond the pale, and it is incumbent upon all members of the international community, especially democratic governments led by the United States, to do everything possible to bring an end to this brutality,” said David J. Kramer, president of Freedom House. “Assad has proven to be irredeemable in the eyes of his
“T
own people and the international community; the only viable option is for him to go.” President Assad has ignored international calls for him to cease attacks on civilians in the cities of Hama, Deir Ezzor, Bokamel, Arben, and Madameya. Since the protests began in March, more than 2000 have been killed and many more injured and detained. President Obama recently announced a new “Presidential Study Directive on Mass Atrocities,” which will create a new interagency Atrocities Prevention Board tasked with coordinating a comprehensive government approach to prevent mass atrocities and genocide. “If President Obama is serious in his intention to make the prevention of mass atrocities a U.S. priority, Syria fits that bill,” continued Kramer. Printed below is the text of the letter:
August 10, 2011 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, e share your disgust with the Syrian government’s violence and brutality against its own people, and we urge you to take stronger action in response to the ongoing assault against the Syrian people. The last four and a half months of violence against peaceful protestors in Syria have already left an estimated 2,000 dead, and this violence has escalated with attacks by the Syrian army on the cities of Hama, Deir Ezzor, Bokamel, Arben, and Madameya. As you have said, this ongoing violence shows that President Assad is completely incapable and unwilling to respond to the legitimate grievances of the Syrian people. We agree on your assessment of the situation in Syria and support your new Directive on Mass Atrocities, which states that the prevention of mass atrocities and genocide “is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States of America.” However, we are disappointed by the so far inadequate and uneven response of the U.S. government in regards to Syria and strongly urge that additional action from the United States not await the 100-day review of tools available to U.S. Policy Makers that was called for in the directive. We urge you to immediately call on President Assad to step down and lead a concerted international effort to raise the pressure on his regime. Moreover, we recommend several steps to increase pressure on Assad’s regime to end the violence: • Immediately call for the resignation of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and support his prosecution for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court upon his removal from power • Secure support in the United Nations Security Council for a strong resolution (versus the statement that was issued last week) to condemn the Syrian government’s brutality against peaceful protestors and demand that the perpetrators be held to account; to get Russian and Chinese abstentions, if not outright support, will require your personal efforts with Presidents Medvedev and Hu • Increase sanctions on Syria in concert with the European Union, including sanctions on its oil and gas sectors • Instruct Ambassador Ford to make further visits to cities affected by Syrian government crackdowns • Meet with leaders of the Syria opposition, as Secretary Clinton did on Tuesday These steps are critical to back up your statements on the escalating violence in Syria and to help the Syrian people achieve a positive solution to the crisis. They will also place us firmly on the right side with those fighting for freedom and human rights in Syria. We look forward to your leadership in building stronger international collaboration for progress in Syria.

IN ANOTHER DIG AT BRITAIN, IRAN HAS OFFERED TO SEND ‘PEACE KEEPERS’ TO HELP RESTORE CALM IN LONDON, WHICH WAS SHAKEN BY FOUR DAYS OF RIOTS
BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN Iran continued its propaganda offensive against Britain and its other Western rivals Friday as a senior military commander announced Tehran is prepared to dispatch peacekeepers to London to ‘help restore calm in the city,’ the Iranian Fars news agency reported. he Ashura brigades of Basij forces are ready to be dispatched to London as peacekeeping forces,” Commander of Iran’s Basij (volunteer) forces Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi said on Thursday. Naqdi also chastised British authorities for their harsh crackdown on protesters and for describing them as rioters and hooligans. “Unfortunately the crimes and violence of the autocratic British kingdom continues against the country’s deprived [population] and not only does the advice of well-wishers have no effect on the conduct of the regime’s repressive police force but we witness the deprived people of this country being called a bunch of thieves and looters,” he regretted. Iran has been widely criticized by the West, including Britain, for its bloody crackdown on the 2009-2010 election protests in which rights monitors say at least 150 were killed. Since then, Iran has conducted daily executions of dissidents as a means of quelling further unrest, and has routinely harassed and detained popular dissident figures planning to visit the West. Naqdi also expressed disappointment with the UN Security Council as invariably supporting oppressors. “If the UN General Assembly approves, the Basij Organization is ready to send a number of Ashura and al-Zahra brigades to Liverpool and Birmingham as peacekeepers

According to Naqdi the ‘uprising’ in Britain, even if oppressed at this stage, is far deeper than a political unrest or factional conflict to be resolved easily. “This wound will come to a head elsewhere…The people of Britain have awakened and will definitely take their rights back,” he stated. The unrest in Britain began on August 6 in the north London suburb of Tottenham after a few hundred people gathered outside a police station to protest the fatal police shooting of a black man, Mark Duggan. The country’s worst unrest since the 1980s also spilled over into major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol. In the wake of the four-day riots, London police are deploying an additional 1,600 personnel to ensure the safety of citizens. Police have also begun executing a string of raids on those believed responsible for instigating the violence. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the riots were the result of “criminal gangs” and had “nothing to do with the economy.”
EU Criticizes Israeli Decision to Build New Homes in East Jerusalem European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton expressed “deep regret” over Israel’s decision to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem. shton said the announcement “threatens the viability of an agreed twostate solution” and “undermines ongoing efforts to resume negotiations.” Israel’s Interior Ministry gave final approval for the plan Thursday, and said it expects to soon approve the construction of

The ministry’s spokesman said the housing plans are not politically based, but rather a reaction to recent protests about the high cost of living and calls for more affordable housing in Israel.

Obama promised he will be introducing more jobs-creation legislation in the coming weeks. A new Washington Post poll of 600 people shows Americans are frustrated with the country’s leadership after the protracted battle over raising the debt ceiling. Nearly threequarters of the respondents said they have little or no confidence that Washington will be able to repair the economy. In the survey, only 17 percent said they were inclined to reelect their own representative in Congress. Seventy-eight percent said they are unhappy with the country’s political system, although nearly the same percentage said that compared to the rest of the world, the U.S. system of government is the best. The poll was conducted by telephone August 9. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. VOANEWS.COM

Glenn Beck Hits Westhampton Beach
Radio and television personality Glenn Beck (left) engaged in an evening of conversation with author David Brog and Rabbi Marc Schneier at the Hampton Syagogue on Sunday night. Photo by Cheryl Dorskind, http://www.cherylmachatdorskind.com/
BY HELEN FREEDMAN Sunday evening, August 7, at the Westhampton Beach synagogue in New York, there was a great sense of excitement as crowds gathered for the evening event featuring renowned talk show host Glenn Beck and David Brog, Executive Director of CUFI (Christians United for Israel). Rabbi Marc Schneier presided, praising Glenn Beck for being one of the only voices condemning the massacre of five members of the Fogel family in Itamar, Israel. Rabbi Schneier also commended David Brog for his great success in gathering over 700,000 Evangelical lovers of Israel under the CUFI umbrella. lenn Beck stood in front of the overflow crowd—the doors to the synagogue leading out to the lawn had to be opened to accommodate all the guests— and, holding the microphone, spoke emotionally about what it was that drove him on his personal crusade of Courage. Quoting the biblical Ruth, in her response to her motherin-law Naomi, when she declared that “your people shall be my people,” Beck asserted that those words had to be spoken in Jerusalem. In response to why he had to be the one to RESTORE COURAGE, as he is planning to do from August 21-24 in Jerusalem, he quoted from the book of Esther. Mordechai’s admonition to Esther, when she hesitates about going to the King to tell him of Haman’s evil plan to destroy the Jews, reminds her that she has been put there for a reason—and she must make the choice. Beck believes that he is in this time, in this place, for this reason—to help people to stand up and speak the truth. The truth of what Moses said to the people, which was echoed by George Washington, according to Beck, is: “Remember what G-d has done for you—and teach it to your children.” Beck, a Mormon, described himself as the “Jew” in the Christian world—the outsider. His RESTORING COURAGE rally in Jerusalem will have three parts: The first will deal with the message of having the courage to LOVE people. The second will deal with
G
remembering the Holocaust and teaching our children about it. The third will deal with the holiness of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem which reminds us to Stand Up for G-d, shoulder our responsibilities as human beings, and stand as shields for Israel and Jerusalem. David Brog also spoke about the need to transcend our inherent selfishness and develop a love for all humanity. His new book, In Defense of Faith, promotes the JudeoChristian belief that all people are descendants of Adam and made in the image of Gd. Therefore, we are asked to love our fellow man as we love ourselves. Brog stressed that “distance does not determine who your brother is.” Your “brother” may live on the other side of the world, but still needs your love and compassion. A lively question-and-answer period followed with the members of the congregation showing support for the positions espoused by Beck and Brog. One questioner identified himself as an Israeli who fought in many of Israel’s battles. He said that he had never been frightened when going to battle. He had never feared anything, knowing that G-d was with him; however, today, he is afraid. The call for Israel to give away its land, up to the 1967 borders, makes him fear for Israel’s safety. Glenn Beck responded with strong support for a whole Israel, including Judea and Samaria and an undivided Jerusalem. He proclaimed that “evil exists and it has a tool called ‘political correctness.’” Dismissing any help from Washington, he declared that “the only way to win is to be OUT of the system.” Glenn Beck may be “OUT of the ‘system,’” but he is surely IN with those who are not afraid to stand for good against evil. I join the thousands, or millions of others who pray that his message of standing together on principles, and RESTORING COURAGE, will become the clarion call for people of good will.

WAR ON TERROR Parsons Suit Against Palestinian Authority Can Go Forward A three-judge U.S. Appeals Court panel has ruled that the family of murdered American security contractor Mark Parsons can sue the Palestinian Authority (PA) for providing material support to terrorists. arsons was one of three Americans providing security for a U.S. diplomatic convoy traveling from Tel Aviv to Gaza City on Oct. 15, 2003 to interview Palestinian applicants for Fulbright scholarships. Minutes after the convoy crossed into Gaza, a massive roadside bomb went off, killing him and two colleagues. Parsons’ relatives filed suit in federal court under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1991, charging that the PA had provided material support for and conspired with the killers. The district court granted summary judgment to the PA in May 2010, saying there was insufficient evidence to tie the PA to the attack. Writing for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Judge David S. Tatel reversed a critical part of that ruling that dismissed allegations that PA officials had provided material support for terrorism. According to Tatel, “a reasonable juror could conclude that Palestinian Authority employ-
Schumer Reveals: Background Checks Not Required for Workers Accessing Power Plants DESPITE HOMELAND SECURITY REPORT SHOWING AL-QAEDA ATTEMPTING TO GAIN ACCESS, TO FACILITIES U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today revealed that despite a recent report by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) showing that insider sabotage at electric, gas, and water utilities is a ‘significant threat’ to U.S. national security, only nuclear power plants are currently required to conduct FBI background checks on employees.

he DHS report noted that extremists have gained insider access to critical utility infrastructure and have worked to recruit utility employees to help execute terrorist attacks. While nuclear power plants are currently required to conduct FBI background checks on all employees with unescorted access to facilities, no other power plants are. In light of the findings from DHS, Schumer is introducing legislation to close this major security loophole that would make it mandatory for all major utilities and critical infrastructure plants to run FBI background checks on employees with access to the most sensitive areas of utilities. “Power plants and utilities present a tempting and potentially catastrophic target to extremists who are bent on wreaking havoc on the United States, which is why thorough background checks on all workers with access to the most sensitive areas of these operations are a must,” said Senator Schumer. “The DHS report is a wake-up call that we must ensure those with access to our most critical infrastructure—and our power supplies—are not compromised by extremist influences.” In July, DHS released a report entitled Insider Threat to Utilities in which they expressed “high confidence” in their judgment that insiders pose a “significant threat” to utilities and their infrastructure. DHS cited past instances of utility-sector employees using insider knowledge to damage facilities and disrupt site operations, including an example of a water treatment plant employee in Arizona who attempted to cause a buildup of methane gas by shutting down operating systems in April of this year. Additionally, the report cited a January 2011 incident in which a fired employee from a natural-gas plant broke into a monitoring station and closed off a valve, cutting off service to 3,000 customers. The report also cited the increasing threats from al-Qaeda to these facilities. In the fall of 2010 an al-Qaeda propaganda newsletter urged recruits to work in sensitive locations to conduct attacks, and senior alQaeda officials have also urged members to

According to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission report prepared at the request of Schumer, Mobley spoke openly of his militant views while working at the nuclear plants. In the wake of Mobley’s arrest, Schumer successfully advocated for tighter regulations at nuclear facilities, including more stringent FBI background checks. With the exception of nuclear facilities, however, power plants and other key utilities are not authorized or required to perform FBI back-

NATO Carries Out Over 50,000 China’s Top General Visits Israel, Air Missions in Afghanistan Signs of Growing Sino-Israel Ties The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has carried out more than 50,000 air missions in Afghanistan over the past one-year period, an ISAF spokesman said on Monday. ver the past year ISAF has flown more than 50,000 rotary aircraft missions. Of those missions, altogether three aircraft were lost through enemy activities, of which one was last week’s loss,” Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson told reporters in ISAF weekly press briefing here. According to Jacobson, NATO and Afghan forces have carried out over 2,800 special operations which captured or killed Taliban leaders over the same period of time. “Ten thousand missions were flown in the same timeframe for special operation forces, supporting over 2,800 operations,” ISAF spokesman asserted. He made these comments ten days after American forces suffered its largest singleday loss in Afghanistan since the war began by the U.S.-led coalition against terror in Afghanistan nearly ten years ago.

U.S. Test of Hypersonic Plane Unsuccessful The U.S. military on Thursday tested its hypersonic plane that can fly from Los Angeles to New York in 12 minutes, but lost contact with the aircraft about half an hour after launch. he test of the Mach 20 aircraft was conducted by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon agency responsible for new technology development for the military. The unmanned hypersonic glider, called the Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2 (HTV-2), blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California atop a Minotaur 4 rocket at 7:45 a.m. PDT. However, around 36 minutes into the flight, DARPA’s official Twitter account, which had been updating tweets on the flight, sent out a message saying “Range assets have lost telemetry with HTV2,” and attempts to reacquire tracking or telemetry were unsuccessful. DARPA said HTV-2 has autonomous flight termination capability. The HTV-2 vehicle—a prototype for a Prompt Global Strike weapons program— was expected to reach suborbital space, then re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and glide at hypersonic speed to demonstrate controllable flight at velocities of around Mach 20, which is about 13,000 mph. At that speed, more than 20 times the speed of sound, a vehicle could fly from Los Angeles to New York City in 12 minutes, according to DARPA. “The ultimate goal is a capability that can reach anywhere in the world in less than an

The HTVs were built for DARPA by Lockheed Martin Corp. “Assumptions about Mach 20 hypersonic flight were made from physics-based computational models and simulations, wind tunnel testing, and data collected from HTV2’s first test flight—the first real data available in this flight regime at Mach 20,” said Air Force Maj. Chris Schulz, HTV-2 program manager, in a statement. “The HTV-2 vehicle is a ‘data truck’ with numerous sensors that collect data in an uncertain operating envelope,” according to a DARPA mission description.

In what has been deemed a historic visit and as a sign of growing ties, the Chief of Staff of China, General Chen Bingde, met with Israel’s Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, and other military leaders on Sunday (Aug. 14). They discussed their mutual struggle against global terrorism, geopolitics in Pakistan and Iran, and their shared connections with the Palestinians, a media statement announced. arak spoke about the principles China and Israel share despite their differences: “We are two ancient peoples with history and tremendous impact on world civilization. China is a continent [sic][but] Israel hardly appears on the world map,” Barak said to General Bingde, according to the statement. Two months ago, Barak made a rare visit to Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders “at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie,” AFP reported. It was the first visit of an Israeli defense minister to China in a decade.

“Senior [Israeli] defense officials said recently that all of Israel’s ties with China are under careful U.S. scrutiny and in most cases are approved ahead of time by the Pentagon,” The Jerusalem Post reported. Yet the visit ushers in a sense of cooperation and economic opportunity between the two countries, particularly as the Middle East becomes enveloped by the Arab Spring and China may be reexamining its foreign policies towards the region. Bilateral trade between China and Israel reached $6.7 billion in 2010. Israel is now in the second stage of a competition to set up a factory in China to help build executive jets, i.e., only for civilian aircraft. It would be the “first large aviation deal between Israel and China in over a decade,” The Jerusalem Post added. China is interested in oil export and possible transport routes to Europe—a role Israel can fulfill because of its location on the Mediterranean Sea. Israel, for its part, is interested in China’s seat on the United Nations Security Council, the independent body that passes sanctions against Iran for its illicit nuclear program. Israel is also trying to show China and other countries that the Palestinian bid for a unilateral declaration of independence at the U.N. in September is counterproductive to peace and harmful to direct negotiations.

APPROVAL OF U.S. CONGRESS TIES HISTORIC LOW Public approval of U.S. Congress’s performance has tied its historic low of 13 percent, according to Gallup poll results released Tuesday. he previous low point was set in December 2010, during the lame-duck session. Meanwhile, disapproval of Congress hit an all-time high of 84 percent, eclipsing the 83 percent disapproval rating last December. The results are based on an Aug. 11-14 Gallup poll, the first update on Congress’s job approval rating since the government reached agreement on a deal to raise the debt ceiling after contentious and protracted negotiations between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders. Standard & Poor’s subsequently downgraded the United States’ credit rating, partially citing the current political environment

in Washington. That sparked a week of intense volatility in the stock market, with days of sharp losses and large gains. Americans have usually not held Congress in high regard, but currently they have a more negative view of the institution than any other time Gallup has measured, according to the polling agency. Frustration with Congress was evident immediately after the debt ceiling agreement, with a record-low 21 percent of registered voters in an Aug. 4-7 USA Today/Gallup poll saying most members of Congress deserve re-election. Obama’s job approval rating has also declined in recent days, reaching a low of 39 percent. When Gallup last measured Congress’s job approval rating in early July, 18 percent approved and 77 percent disapproved. That poll came while the debt ceiling discussions were underway but well before the talks dragged on to just before the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline.

However, Obama said the government is still monitoring all potential terror scenarios and is keeping its vigilance, especially with the 9/11 anniversary approaching. He said the United States is making progress in pressing al-Qaeda, and “they are a much weaker organization with much less capability than they had just two or three years ago.”

Assad has lost his legitimacy to lead and “it is clear that Syria would be better off without him,” Clinton said.

As Several Congressional Delegations Visit Israel, Fox News Pundit Can’t Get Her Facts Straight BY DANIEL PEREZ As the United States Congress (not unlike the students of an elementary school) goes on its summer recess, the members of the House of Representatives are finding many different ways to spend their vacation. Approximately one fifth of them (81 to be exact), will, at some point between sessions be given a tour of Israel, courtesy of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Last week, a delegation of 26 Democratic Party lawmakers, led by Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) visited the Jewish state and met with some of its leaders, including Israeli President Shimon Peres. ccording to a report by The Jerusalem Post, the Democratic delegation was to be followed by two from the GOP, totaling 55 members of Congress. One of the Republican delegations is to be led by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). The trips are part of an ongoing tradition that AIPAC representatives say aims to strengthen friendship between Israel and Congress, though the delegates have thus far met with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas as well. Most of the representatives are freshmen congressmen. Half of the freshman Republicans voted into office in 2010 will be making the trip, which promises to be an educational experience for the fledgling legislators. Not everyone viewed the exchange in so positive a light, however. Fox News television personality Greta Van Susteren was quick to criticize, and somewhat slower to check her facts. On her blog, at gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com, Van Susteren explained: “I just received a press release […] that 84 Members of Congress are taking a free trip next week to Israel.” Apparently Ms. Van
A
(l-R) House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) led the Democratic Party congressional delegation to Israel. Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) was chosen to lead one of the two GOP delegations. Susteren was led to believe that fully a fifth of the U.S. House of Representatives took a simultaneous vacation to Israel, and was quick to share this misinformation with her readers. It is not difficult to see how given this version of the facts, one might view Israel’s PR efforts in a more negative light. She went on to say: “Please tell me this is not so: that while we are in crisis, 84 Members of Congress are getting an all expense paid trip to Israel instead of returning to DC to work on our economic crisis.” Van Susteren did not point out in her blog post that in fact our congressional representatives were on a scheduled recess, and that this “all expense paid trip” was paid for by the pro-Israel lobby and not with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Nor did she point out the potential benefits of such a trip for the U.S.-Israel diplomatic relationship, and how it may leave U.S. lawmakers more informed on issues affecting the region and therefore better prepared to perform their duties as they pertain to foreign policy. Instead, she asked rhetorically: “How could they?”

Tshuva Sells Delek Real Estate to U.S. Equity Fund UNDER THE NON-BINDING LETTER OF INTENT, THE U.S. FUND WILL PROVIDE DELEK REAL ESTATE WITH A NIS 500 MILLION OWNERS’ LOAN
Around two years since Yitzhak Tshuva spun off Delek Real Estate from the Delek Group, he is en route to bidding an elegant farewell to the company, which is on the verge of insolvency. BY GUY KATSOVITCH Yitzhak Tshuva has sold his 50.79% controlling interest in Delek Real Estate Ltd. (TASE: DLKR) to a U.S. equity fund for nothing. The U.S. fund manages real estate properties worth $5 billion, but has no business operations in Israel. nder the non-binding letter of intent, the U.S. fund will provide Delek Real Estate with a NIS 500 million owners’ loan, whose terms will be determined, but which will be subordinate to all of Delek Real Estate’s bondholders. The U.S. fund will also provide an additional NIS 100 million loan, which will also be subordinate to Delek Real Estate’s bondholders. Tshuva will transfer all his bonds, owners’ loans and guarantees, amounting to NIS 120 million, to the buyer. Last Thursday, Delek Real Estate announced that it would buy back NIS 20 million of its Series 1 bond, not traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), which
U
will eliminate the need to make NIS 1.5 million in interest payments. Delek Real Estate’s Series 25 bondholders are meeting today in Ramat Gan. The outstanding debt on this bond is NIS 580 million. The principal is due for repayment in monthly installments through the end of 2012, and interest payments are made in March and September. Delek Real Estate wants to postpone the principal payments on the Series 25 bond, giving the bondholders higher interest payments in exchange.

Top Ten Manhattan DAVID’S FLOORING Residential Buildings to OF NEW YORK View Awesome Sunsets
BY CARTER B. HORSLEY, EDITOR, CITYREALTY
1. 100 Eleventh Avenue at 19th Street Jean Nouvel’s curved residential condominium tower has nearly 1,700 different windows to savor nature’s heart.
2. 165 Charles Street between West and Perry Streets The third and southernmost of Richard Meier’s three glass-and-white-metal lookalikes along West Street, fronting on the Hudson River, is just so…neat.
3. Liberty House at 377 Rector Place at Battery Park City This 28-story apartment tower is angled to the southwest on its site along the esplanade to accentuate its sunset views. Designed by James Stewart Polshek & Associates in 1988, its polychromatic bricks create an alluring façade topped by nautical elements clad in dark green metal and tied together with bands of red and natural aluminum, just the things for sailing off into the sunset.
4. 180 Riverside Boulevard at Trump Place between 68th and 69th streets This 40-story tower was designed by Costas Kondylis and completed in 1998. Many of its 516 apartments have corner windows.
5. The Paterno at 440 Riverside Drive at 116th Street One of New York’s great apartment buildings, the Paterno has a great curved façade along 116th Street where it meets Claremont Avenue. Designed by Schwartz & Gross, the Paterno’s curve faces south, providing for brilliant sunsets.
6. New York by Gehry at 8 Spruce Street Nothing beats looking down your stainless-steel nose to the terracotta pinnacles of the very Gothic Woolworth Tower across City Hall Park.
7. Silver Towers at Tenth Avenue between 41st and 42nd Streets These towers offer a good perspective on River Place 1, at the other end of this large block overlooking the stupendous glories up and down the Hudson River. The reflective glass of these towers, designed by Costas Kondylis, hopefully bedazzles the prying eyes of New Jerseyans trying to learn our secrets.
8. Carlyle Hotel at 35 East 76th Street This 1930 Art Deco-style hotel tower has grown so accustomed to ogling sunsets over Central Park that it has grown a slew of carbuncles. It was designed by Bien & Prince.
9. 1 Fifth Avenue on the southeast corner at Eighth Street This Art Deco–style masterpiece anchors the base of Fifth Avenue, dominates Washington Square Park, and is, in general, king of all that it surveys from midtown to downtown skylines and all the in-between sunsets. It was designed by Helmle, Corbett & Harrison and Sugarman and Berger in 1929.
10. 1 Beacon Court at 151 East 58th Street Many of the apartments atop this tall, mixed-use tower get to see the midtown skyline silhouetted at sunset.

LAWSUIT DETAILS DEPTH OF BERKELEY JEWISH STUDENT HARASSMENT A pattern of harassment and physical assaults by members of two Muslim student groups at the University of California, Berkeley, crosses the line from allowing free speech into creating a hostile campus environment, an attorney representing two students argued in court papers filed this week. essica Felber and Brian Maissy are suing the University of California and Berkeley President Mark Yudoff, along with Berkeley’s chancellor, the Regents of the University of California, the Associated Students University of California, and Berkeley’s dean of students for failing to protect them from verbal and physical assaults. “Defendants assert that this Court is powerless to stop this conduct, claiming that these student groups have ‘First Amendment Rights,’” wrote attorney Joel Siegal in response to a defense motion to dismiss. “But these Defendants have an equal obligation to protect the health and safety of Jewish students under Title VI,” which requires federally funded educational institutions protect students against discrimination. The lawsuit claims Berkeley has tolerated years of programming by anti-Israel student groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA), despite reports of Jewish students being cursed at, threatened, and assaulted. SJP’s stated goal is to promote a “just resolution of the plight of the Palestinians” and employs boycott, divestment, and sanctions

UC Berkeley has become infamous among American universities for the frequency and intensity of its anti-Israel activism. campaigns as well as mock checkpoints and mock “apartheid walls” on campuses throughout the U.S. to promote that cause. MSA also has a history of supporting radicalism on Berkeley’s campus. In 1995, the MSA at UC Berkeley conducted a rally in support of Hamas. In April 2002 the MSA publication at UC Berkeley, Al-Kalima,
voiced its support of Hamas and Hezbollah. MSA was established by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963 to serve as a platform to spread Islam and Islamic ideas to college campuses in the U.S. By continuing to authorize and fund SJP and MSA as official student organizations, the lawsuit alleges, the university allowed itself to become a dangerous and threatening environment for Jewish students. SJP and MSA sponsored “Apartheid Week” events, specifically the mock checkpoints that they stage on campus, create an actionable hostile environment harassment. Students at the checkpoints carry “realistic-looking assault weapons—‘imitation firearms’—as part of the event,” Siegal wrote, citing a California statute prohibiting such reenactments unless they are authorized by the school. Declarations by Felber, Maissy, and Berkeley Professor Mel Gordon detail examples of incidents that they felt crossed the line into intimidation and harassment. Each complains that school officials failed to discipline the people involved. Felber, who graduated in December, said she was physically assaulted on campus by an SJP member in March 2010. Hussam Zakharia, then leader of SJP, rammed a shopping cart into her back during simultaneous “Israel Apartheid Week” and “Israel Peace and Diversity Week” events. She was treated for her injuries and later received therapy as a result of the incident. After that, Felber said, she was so intimidated that she was afraid to leave home without an escort. Felber said she already felt intimidated on campus by SJP before that incident. She described an SPJ speaker at an event singling her out and calling her a “terrorist supporter” in front of 100 people. Brian Maissy, a current student, similarly described the fear created by the annual “Apartheid Week” events. Maissy, who wears a yarmulke, said the students with the fake assault rifles yelled, “Are you Jewish?” at him and other passersby. The event occurs at the entrance to campus and is difficult to avoid, Maissy said.
UC Berkeley President Mark Yudoff University officials did not act to protect the students, he said, and he fears for his safety on campus. The situation dates back at least a decade, according to Mel Gordon, a tenured theater professor at Berkeley. He described being physically attacked by SJP members in 2001 as they protested outside a campus building. When Gordon tried to go inside the building to teach a class, a student beat, spit upon, and kicked Gordon in the stomach. Gordon sued his attacker and said he was awarded restitution in the case and a member of SJP was convicted. But, to his knowledge, SJP was not suspended or disciplined by school officials. The university continued to sponsor SJP and MSA as student organizations. He described a letter he sent to school officials in 2008 after an altercation between members of SJP and the Zionist Freedom Alliance. In it, he said he told the chancellor about his experiences with SJP and urged something be done. He did not receive a response. Jewish students also complained to school officials in 2008, saying they did not feel that the UC police and faculty were doing anything to curb SJP’s intimidation and harassment. The officials denied that there was an anti-Semitic crisis on campus and “actively and intentionally” allowed it to continue, lawyers for the students say. The lawsuit seeks damages, a five-year ban on MSA and SJP on campus, and a loss of university funding for the groups. The plaintiffs also argue that UC Berkeley must create an independent fact-finding body to handle student complaints of hostile environment situations on campus. The case is scheduled for trial September 22.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL
THE GOLDEN CALF A NOTE TO OUR READERS: The following editorial was the subject of much controversy even within the offices of the Jewish Voice. However, as much as we recognize the need to show hakarat hatov (proper appreciation) for Glenn Beck’s work in generating support for Israel, the unquestioning zeal exhibited by many of his Jewish supporters raises a red flag that we feel needs to be addressed.
Dear Editor: totally agree with all of your points in last week’s editorial, entitled “Quit Stealing Our Shtick.” However, I would like to bring up a couple of positive aspects of these Messianic congregations. First, from my own experience, I have found that usually only about 10% of these congregations are actually Jewish (proof: when you go into these congregations on Shabbat morning you’ll never find people fighting or sleeping, haha). Seriously though, about 13 years ago when I lived in the U.S., I was a Christian attracted to Judaism. I became involved with a
I
Editor:
Glenn Beck in Knesset The people and state of Israel, and the Jewish community around the world, is mesmerized by the appearance of television commentator Glenn Beck in Jerusalem, both for his address to the Knesset and for his ‘Restoring Courage’ rally near the Temple Mount. Love him or hate him—it is impossible to avoid him. eck has been given the red-carpet treatment by Knesset member Danny Danon, who showed him around the country and invited him to speak before the Knesset’s Immigration and Absorption Committee. Chief Rabbi Yonah Metzger has gone so far as blessing Beck’s rally. Have we gone mad? We have been beaten upside the head by years after years of negative media punditry often akin to blood libels—not to mention boycotts, divestments, sanctions, solidarity movements, ‘apartheid’ walls, flotillas, flytillas, UN resolutions, nuclear threats, and good-old-fashioned wars and terrorism—that we have become slaphappy and punch-drunk. Any voice in the wilderness sounding a note of support to us comes as a breath of fresh air, and we welcome it with such ardor that we are willing to overlook potential faults and pitfalls—namely, that his seemingly pure and good-hearted motives just barely conceal political agendas and religious ideologies that ought to give Jews much pause. This has happened before: After the bloody massacres perpetrated against the Jewish people by the Cossack Chmielnicki, the messiah came. So many Jews had prayed for the arrival of the promised savior that they were willing to accept Shabbetai Tzvi, despite his glaring inconsistencies and violations of Jewish tradition. And Martin Luther started his anti–Catholic Church career by publishing a screed that was on its surface friendly and sympathetic to the Jews, in the hopes that the Jews would convert to his new religion, the as-yet-undefined Protestantism. The outcome is well known: We did not convert, and Luther

_____________________ “Beck has spoken before the Knesset and is given the green light in the staging of his ‘Courage’ rally, he believes he has earned the right to pontificate about all matters Israeli. ” _____________________ turned his full vehemence on us. The Jews of Germany during the Reformation played on Luther’s name, transliterating into Hebrew: Lo-Tahor—not clean. After such experiences, we Jews have earned the right to be more than a little suspicious. First and foremost, Beck is an ENTERTAINER. Make no mistake about it—as a TV host, an entertainer is ALL he is. He is not an elected official in any government. He is not an ordained clergyman of any faith. He represents nobody but himself, and perhaps the media conglomerates that employ him. So the question must be posed: What in the world is a media figure doing addressing a legislative body? Has Oprah Winfrey ever addressed a joint session of Congress? How about Rush Limbaugh? Dennis Prager? Michael Savage? Or even, for the liberally inclined, preCongressional Al Franken? Anybody? It is particularly galling that Beck, a non-Jewish entertainer, is given the Knesset podium as a bully pulpit when REAL Jewish teachers of REAL Torah— Rabbi Dov Lior and Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, son of Sephardic elder sage Rabbi Ovadia Yosef—are arrested and thrown into jail. Have we resorted to defaming and imprisoning our rabbis, figures who ought to be respected and revered even if we disagree with their teachings, while deciding to take direction from a foreign entertainer just because he happens to make some noises in our favor?

For me, and them, it was “Judaism Lite,” an introduction to Judaism. Going from Christianity to Orthodox Judaism may have been a little overwhelming so this was a transition period on the way.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We at the Jewish Voice appreciate and share Mr. Chrem’s enthusiasm for the Prayer and CommUNITY event held last week in New Jersey. However, seeing as the article itself was penned by a prominent rabbi, we do believe the point of mentioning that there were no formal speeches, and that the rabbis were not taking center stage, was not meant to deride them, but rather to emphasize the overwhelming sense of unity and understanding that characterized the event. In other words, we believe that Mr. Chrem and Rabbi Tawil are essentially making the same point. Eilu v’eilu…

How Europe Fuels Anti-Jew Hatred
BY GIULIO MEOTTI European taxes are funding anti-Semitism of an intensity unseen since Germany in the 30s and Brussels is putting cash into the pockets of Islamic terrorists. urope is resuming Saddam Hussein’s tradition of making payments to families of Palestinian suicide bombers. £86 million a year, reports the British newspaper Daily Mail, have been channeled from London to the Palestinian Authority. The PA has authorized payments of almost £5million to the families of “martyrs.” Another £3million has been given to 5,500 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. The payments are using taxpayers’ cash donated from Britain and the European Union. The Palestinian Authority has introduced a new law that pays the families of suicide bombers out of its civil service budget. According to the official Palestinian newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, payments to the families of “martyrs”—those killed fighting Israel, including suicide bombers— totaled 3.5 percent of the budget. The salary

The PA has reported that the US (225 million dollars), the EU (41.4 million euros), France (19 million euros), Ireland (.5 million euros), Norway (53 million dollars), and the World Bank (40 million dollars) have all given funds to the Palestinian general budget of 2010-2011. On December 27, 2010, the Italian region of Emilia Romagna approved a money transfer of 254.000 euros for some “Palestinian projects.” Parts of the funds go to the Palestinian Medical Relief Society of Mustafa Barghouti, the leader of the movement for boycott of the Jewish State. Following the reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Fatah, Brussels can’t even guarantee that the money transferred won’t end up in the hands of Hamas, a terror
group that refers to Jews as the “sons of apes and pigs,” denies the Holocaust, openly aims at the destruction of Israel, and mourned Osama bin Laden as a “Holy Warrior.” Europe is also financing Israel’s destruction by channeling millions of euros to the non-governmental organizations. NGO Monitor, the Israeli group that tracks this “soft war,” just published a report about European money fueling the war on the Jews. These are just some anti-Israeli groups financed by Western countries: Addameer ($207,000 from Sweden); Al Haq ($426,000 from Holland, $88,000 from bailout-needing Ireland, and $156,000 from Norway); Al Mezan ($105,000 from Sweden); Applied Research Institute ($374,000 from the European Union and $98,000 from bankrupt Spain); Coalition of Women for Peace ($247,000 from the European Union); Troicare ($2,000,000 from Brussels and $640,000 from the UK). There is a third European way to fund Palestinian terrorism and anti-Semitism: books, school textbooks, documentaries, and TV channels. This is the real “software” of the holy war against the Jews. According to a recent report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, the Palestinian textbooks funded by the European Union are still inciting against Israel: “Palestine” is shown to encompass all of the Jewish State, the Jewish holy sites (such as the Western Wall and Rachel’s Tomb) have been erased, the Jews are demonized, and Arab “martyrdom” is praised. Thanks to Arab satellite companies, Hezbollah’s al-Manar and Hamas’ al-Aqsa TV stations can beam their incitement and hatred into European living rooms, radicalizing Muslim immigrants throughout the Continent. Brussels never tried to stop this European Jihad TV. Recently the European Union funded a television quiz show entitled “The Stars,” which told its viewers that the size of “Palestine” is 27,000 kilometers—an area that includes all of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva. The show described Nazareth as a “Palestinian city.” The flag of the European Union is proudly displayed behind the host throughout the broadcasts of the entire first season of “The Stars.” Seventy years ago the Europeans had to round up the Jews and take them to the nearest railway station. Now they just need to finance a textbook, fund a TV show, and draw a check at a distance of 3,299 km (that between Brussels and Jerusalem). It’s a cleaner, easier, and more comfortable anti-Jewish policy that resists any rational exorcism. The writer, a journalist with Il Foglio, writes a weekly column for Arutz Sheva.

White House Mischief
One of the pictures on the White House website that mentions "Jerusalem, Israel." 2010: "Vice President Joe Biden laughs with BY DANIEL PIPES The White House engaged in two puerile and quickly-exposed gambits last week that exposed the Obama administration's amateurish and deceitful Middle East-Islamic policies in a painfully obvious manner. he first case concerned the thorny issue of Jerusalem's legal status in American law. In 1947, the United Nations ruled the holy city to be a corpus separatum (Latin for separated body) and not part of any state. All these years later and despite many changes, U.S. policy continues holds that this to be Jerusalem's status. It ignores that the Government of Israel declared western Jerusalem to be its capital in 1950 and the whole of Jerusalem in 1980. The Executive Branch even ignores that U.S. laws from 1995 (requiring a move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem) and 2002 (requiring that U.S. documents recognize Americans born in Jerusalem to be born in Israel). Instead, it insists that the city's disposition must be decided through diplomacy. Challenging this policy, the American parents of Jerusalem-born Menachem Zivotofsky, demanded on his behalf that his birth certificate and his passport list him as born in Israel. When the State Department refused, the parents filed a lawsuit; their case has now reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Things started to get interesting on Aug. 4, when Rick Richman of the New York Sun noted that "The White House acknowledges on its own website that Jerusalem is in Israel—as does the State Department and the CIA on theirs," undermining the government's case. Richman pointed to three mentions of "Jerusalem, Israel" in captions to pictures on the White House website in connection with a trip by Joe Biden in March
T
Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem, Israel"; "Vice President Joe Biden meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Israel"; and "Vice President Joe Biden has breakfast with Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair . . . in Jerusalem, Israel." Richman deemed this wording to be potentially "pivotal evidence" against the government's case. At 3:22 p.m. on Aug. 9, Daniel Halper of the Weekly Standard reiterated Richman's point by posting the first of those pictures.
_____________________ “American parents of Jerusalem-born Menachem Zivotofsky, demanded on his behalf that his birth certificate and his passport list him as born in Israel. When the State Department refused, the parents filed a lawsuit; their case has now reached the U.S. Supreme Court.” _____________________ Two hours and four minutes later, at 5:26 p.m., Halper reported that "the White House has apparently gone through its website, cleansing any reference to Jerusalem as being in Israel." The new caption read, "Vice President Joe Biden laughs with Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem." Someone on the White House staff hoped to pull a fast one. As James Taranto noted in the Wall Street Journal, the Supreme Court does not take kindly to such pranks.

Us or Them: The U.S. and Hiroshima, Israel and Iran late the Jewish people and Israel. Logic dictates that if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb, Israel’s neck is the first one in the Iranian nuclear noose. Iran’s fanatic Islamic government really only wants the bomb to wipe Israel off the map. So the same principle holds that the US applied in Hiroshima—their lives or our lives, their ideas or our ideas.
BY YONATAN SILVERMAN In the U.S. in the 1940s and 1950s, the late Margaret Bourke-White was a very famous and exceptionally talented photojournalist. Among other things, she loved airplanes and she loved flying. This was also true during World War II when she was assigned to the army as a journalist. t one point in the early 40s she flew in a bombing mission over Tunis and the pilot was Paul Tibbets, who flew the Enola Gay over Hiroshima and dropped the A-bomb there. Some years later, in the 1950s, BourkeWhite met Tibbets again at an air base in Kansas. She asked him how he felt about the people on the ground when he dropped the bomb and he said something rather ignorant and unfeeling in reply. Col. Tibbets said: “They’re so poor and miserable it probably helps them as they’d only die anyway…” This caused Bourke-White to ask herself if it was necessary to drop the bomb on Hiroshima. She wrote: “I was distressed that I could feel no emotion. And if I did feel what should I feel? Pity? Regret?” She concluded it was necessary to drop the bomb on Hiroshima because the war against Japan was a fight to the finish. “It was their lives or our lives,” she wrote, “their ideas or our ideas.” Bourke-White’s assessment was totally accurate with respect to the challenge with which the Empire of Japan confronted the civilized world in World War II. According to the historical record, the ideology of Japanese imperialism and world domination, which ignited World War II, originated in Japan in the end of the 19th century. Starting with universal military conscription in 1873, the Japanese military indoctrinated thousands of men from various social backgrounds with military-patriotic values and the concept of unquestioning loyalty to the Emperor. The Japanese government at this time was strongly influenced by the

The government adopted Prussian political ideas, which favored military expansion abroad and authoritarian government at home. The Prussian model also devalued the notion of civilian control over the independent military, which meant that in Japan, as in Germany, the military could develop into a state within a state, thus exercising greater influence on politics in general. Between World War I and World War II, the Japanese nation embarked on a course of imperialist expansion, using both diplomatic and military means to extend its control over more and more of the Asian mainland. It began to see itself as the protector and champion of Asian interests against the West, a point of view that brought it increasingly into conflict with the Western powers. When its aggressive policies met firm resistance from the United States and its allies, Japan made common cause with the Axis countries of Germany and Italy and launched into war with the United States and the Western alliance. During the 1930s, the military estab-

lished almost complete control over the government. Many political enemies were assassinated, and communists persecuted. Indoctrination and censorship in education and media were further intensified. Navy and army officers soon occupied most of the important offices, including the office of the prime minister. On account of its desire for world domination, within a short time following the start of World War II, Japan aggressively expanded its control over a large territory that extended to the border of India in the west and New Guinea in the south. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a latterday Japan. A principal tenet of the Islamic extremism that governs Iran is reviving the Caliphate and the domination of imperial Islamic rule throughout the world. This principle emanates from another extremist Islamic belief, which is Triumphalism. Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, said: “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” This also epitomizes Iran’s political raison d’etre. Iran is unquestionably in a war with the West and it is a fight to the finish because Iran’s fanatic Muslim leaders hate western values and western culture generally and are avowed to subdue the West through the superior force of Islam. In particular, Iran’s barbaric leadership hates Jews [in keeping with] the Koran, and Iranian leaders lust to annihi-
“Dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima... ended a protracted brutal war against a relentless savage enemy, spared the lives of perhaps a million US servicemen, and led directly to the recreation of Japanese society and government according to a rational, civilized, peace oriented model that has stood the test of time.” ______________________ In brief, Israel, along with its western allies, needs to drop an atomic bomb preemptively on some location in Iran to make the same point to the lunatic Ayatollahs that the US made to Japan in Hiroshima. Dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima forced Japan to surrender. It ended a protracted brutal war against a relentless savage enemy, spared the lives of perhaps a million US servicemen, and led directly to the recreation of Japanese society and government according to a rational, civilized, peace oriented model that has stood the test of time.

ED. NOTE: While we would not mind seeing the Iranian nuclear ambitions destroyed, there is a fatal flaw in Mr. Silverman’s proposal and analogy. While the Japanese surrendered to the U.S. within a month after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they had no similar weapons of their own with which to strike back. By contrast, Iran is working on its own nuclear program and could realistically sustain a nuclear strike on its own soil and launch a counterstrike against Israel, which would be much more devastating to the Jewish state than to the ayatollahs. Additionally, even if the Iranian bomb is not yet operational, there is the possibility of another Muslim nation, which already has operational nuclear capability— Pakistan—acting on behalf of the Muslim world against Israel.

They can also receive up to a $600 rebate for installing high-efficiency central air conditioning equipment. Homeowners may also be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $500 and other manufacturer incentives. Cooling and heating costs the average homeowner about $1,000 a year—nearly half the home's total energy bill. Increasing energy efficiency is a great way to save money while reducing the strain on our natural resources. Going green can save you some green. These Green Team programs have helped New York City and Westchester County residents save 2215 megawatt-hours of electricity equaling over $332,250. “Whether you cool your home with a window air conditioner or if you have central air, Con Edison has a rebate to help you save money this summer,” said Cristina Coltro, Con Edison program manager. “If your air conditioner is more than 12 years old, replacing it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model can cut your cooling costs by 30%.” All residential customers in New York City and Westchester County are eligible for the Room Air Conditioner Rebate program.

We see Israel as a place where GM can grow strategically.”
Investing in Israeli startups GM Israel is involved in much more than managing an R&D lab. “We also have an engineering department which is working on technologies that will be included in future car models,” says Golan, as well as a $100 million venture-capital fund seeking opportunities in two of the world’s most promising tech landscapes (the other is in Silicon Valley), managed directly from Detroit. “We have several companies in the pipeline that we plan to invest in,” says Golan. Earlier this year, the fund supplied $5 million to Israeli startup Powermat, which makes wireless charging mats for cell phones and other electronic devices. GM plans to include the mats in vehicles as soon as 2012, allowing drivers to easily recharge their devices while on the road without having to resort to their cigarette lighter (which is anyway being phased out by most manu-
GM Israel is working on developing technology in five areas for the cars of tomorrow, says Golan: “Advanced sensing and visions systems—we are at the frontier of development for GM here in Israel; human interface systems, which adapt voice and touch technology for autos; wireless enabling, allowing a vehicle’s systems to use networks to ensure constant communication; infotainment, which turns the vehicle into a hub for driver information and entertainment; and vehicle control and robotics, with the Israeli group working directly with GM tech groups in Michigan on developing the world’s most advanced robots for driverless navigation.”
Great ideas and talent emerging from Israel How did GM “discover” Israel? It didn’t hurt that Golan is Israeli. He has worked for GM for more than a decade, most recently as director of R&D global strategy. “We had been investing in Israeli tech partners since 1995, but it took us a few years to recognize the great ideas and talent emerging in Israel,” he says. “We had been scouring sites for development centers in the early part of this decade, and Israel came up on our radar screen,” as it did for many other multinationals that have opened facilities here. Right now, GM Israel employs several dozen engineers and corporate officials, but Golan expects about 200 people—mostly engineers—to be on board by the end of 2013. “The Israeli engineers and tech people we hired got involved in the company’s work very quickly, and were up to speed on GM design and engineering techniques within eight months, at which point they were able to contribute substantially to some of our important projects. In other places, that process took several years. “We are doing some very advanced work for GM here, and within a couple of years— by the 2014 or 2015 model year—some of these innovations will be ready to be added to GM models. It will be a very exciting time for us,” Golan says. Unlike with Internet or high-tech applications, it’s not so simple to acquire existing technology and slap it onto a new car model, says Golan. “It takes time to integrate any technology into a vehicle, because they are so complicated and require a great deal of engineering to work as efficiently as possible. Any country we set up shop in is one that we have to believe in for the long haul,” says Golan. Obviously, Israel has the talent and technology that GM believes will help it build the cars of the future. REPORT BY ISRAEL21C.COM.

Parks in Boro Park & Midwood to Undergo Renovation Councilman David G. Greenfield announced last week that he secured an additional $3.1 million dollars to install brand new play and recreational equipment in Gravesend/18th Avenue Park, located on 18th Avenue between 56th and 58th Streets in Boro Park, and to complete the renovation of Ocean Parkway Malls throughout the Councilman’s district. hen work is completed at Gravesend Park in 2013, the 6.38acre space will feature two new playgrounds extending all the way to the rear of the park. These exciting new additions will build on the new adventure-themed playground that Greenfield’s predecessor, Councilman Simcha Felder, built on the southwest portion of the park. That adventure theme will continue with additional adventure play equipment, swing sets, and a stage for pint-sized productions and imaginative play. The renovation will also include brand new basketball and racquetball courts. “Don’t let the name fool you—Boro Park has very few parks. I’m working hard to change that, which is why investing in parks has been my number one financial priority since taking office,” said Councilman Greenfield. “I know that quality parks are an investment in our children and community. With this new funding, I believe that Gravesend/18th Avenue Park will be the best park for children in all of New York City.” Councilman Greenfield worked extensively with the Parks Department design team and Community Board 12 to guarantee that the final design would optimize available space and serve the unique needs of the

I know that generations of children will enjoy Gravesend/18th Avenue Park, and I am confident that the design choices that Brooklyn Parks made with our feedback will be enjoyed for years to come.” Greenfield also thanked Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz for securing $500,000 towards Gravesend Park and former Councilman Simcha Felder for starting the Gravesend Park project with millions of his capital dollars. Greenfield has also poured millions of dollars into park renovations in the Midwood portion of his district. Last year Greenfield funded improvements to Colonel Marcus Park on Avenue P and East 4th. This year Greenfield funded the renovation of the Ocean Parkway Malls, home to the nation’s first bike path. The new funding will provide for brand-new benches, chess tables, trees, and repaved walking paths and cycling lanes along Ocean Parkway. “Ocean Parkway is one of the premier residential stretches in all of New York City, and a great destination for recreation in the

beries. In return for the guilty plea, Federal prosecutors will drop attempted murder charges against Dionisio for his role in trying to rub out two rivals from the Colombo family in an intrafamily mob war in the early 1990s. In addition to the yeshiva robbery, Dionisio admitted to robbing Hispanic marijuana dealers in Baltimore in the later 1990s. The feds say that the mobster wore a bulletproof vest and used an automatic weapon in those robberies. Dionisio was an employee of Lucali, a pizzeria in Carroll Gardens frequently patronized by a number of celebrities. His boss at Lucali, Mark Iacono, was involved in a knife fight with Gambino crime family member Benny Geritano earlier this year. Both Iacono and Geritano were badly injured, but the court case went nowhere when neither of them agreed to testify. Dionisio faces a prison term of 70 to 87 months when he is scheduled to be sentenced in January.

Now owned by Rozenwig’s great-grandson Steve Ross, Coney Island Bialys and Bagels is struggling to stay afloat in the face of changing local demographics and consumer trends.

However, the mere idea of putting the matter to a vote upset some members. The popular Park Slope Food Co-op has become the latest scene in the ongoing campaign to delegitimize Israel. nti-Israel members of the co-op want to remove Israel-made products from the establishment’s shelves, citing the usual litany of complaints about ‘occupation’ and ‘violence in Palestine’—meaning Israeli violence, with no mention of any wrongdoing by the other side. But pro-Israel members say that removing Israeli products bears the evil reek of anti-Semitism and runs counter to the 38year-old co-op’s stated mission of diversity and equality. Barbara Mazor, a leader of the anti-boycott faction, declared that “this is something we need to nip in the bud right now.” The trouble has been bubbling under the surface for about three years, but it finally came up to the surface when the co-op board met on July 26.

However, the mere idea of putting the matter to a vote upset some members. “We feel [a boycott] would be divisive,” said Ann Herpel, a general coordinator at the co-op, stating that both she and the co-op’s management opposed the boycott. “We want to be good stewards and make all people feel welcome.” At the moment, only a few Israel-made products are sold at the co-op, including the popular Sodastream seltzer maker, paprika, and bath salts. Although the anti-Israel action is relatively new, the co-op has enacted boycotts in the past, including the removal of Coca-Cola products due to alleged illegal labor practices in Colombia. To ban Israeli products, the anti-Israel members of the co-op would have to persuade the majority of members to support a referendum and then hope that the full membership will approve it even later. The matter can only be raised again at the next monthly meeting. Both sides of the issue are presenting their sides in opposing blogs, and the issue has been the subject of many letters in the co-op’s publication, The Linewaiter.

London Jewish Community Deals With Riots
Abbas to Submit Palestinian Statehood Proposal to UN Chief
s London and the UK burned, Jews could not help but notice the irony of the riots occurring during Tisha B’Av, when Jerusalem was sacked and both Temples burned. The neighborhoods of Tottenham— where the riots started in the wake of the shooting by police of a black man—and Golders Green, both with heavy Jewish populations and significant numbers of on-street retail establishments, great effort was put into protecting life and property. London police, rabbis, and the Shomrim society—whose sole objective is to preserve life and protect humanity—urged that members of the Jewish community stay in their homes, close their shops, and avoid participating in or even approaching the scene of the riots. The Shomrim reported that entire areas around Evering Road Junction and Clapton Common in Stamford Hill were completely sealed off. Police maintained a strong presence on Golders Green Road. The fact that the riots took place in areas heavily populated by Jews is mere coincidence, not evidence of any planned efforts at attacking the Jewish community. Tottenham, the flashpoint that ignited the violence, is home to a small community of Chassidim; during the riots, a stabbing took place near a Bobover synagogue. According to the Guardian newspaper, some Chasidim jeered at the police on Saturday, while a YouTube video showed some Chassidim handing out challah to the rioters, an act mentioned favorably in the Socialist Worker newspaper.

alestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says an application for Palestinian statehood will be submitted to the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon in September. Abbas made the announcement in Sarajevo Tuesday as he completed a trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he pressed government officials to support a Palestinian bid for statehood. He then traveled to Lebanon, where he will seek more support for the statehood initiative from Lebanese leaders, including President Michel Sleiman. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Lebanon are two of 10 non-permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. Abbas is lobbying U.N. members to recognize a Palestinian state that would include the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem—areas that Israel captured in the 1967 war. On Saturday, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Palestinian move “expected, but regrettable.” The statement said Abbas had “apparently decided to avoid direct negotiations.” The U.S.-brokered talks between Israel and the Palestinians stalled last September after an Israeli moratorium on settlement building in the West Bank expired. Palestinians oppose construction on land they claim as part of a future state. Also Tuesday, international negotiators trying to broker a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians issued a statement saying they are “greatly concerned” about Israel’s planned expansion of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The negotiators, known as the Middle East Quartet, include representatives from the United Nations, the European Union, Russia, and the United States. Israel on Monday approved the construction of 277 new units in the Jewish settlement of Ariel deep in the West Bank. Last week, Israel gave final approval to a plan to build 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem. In another development, Israel carried out several airstrikes in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip early Tuesday. Palestinian sources say the attacks killed one person and wounded at
P
least four others. The Israeli military says it struck four targets, including a group of militants trying to fire a rocket at Israel. A rocket fired earlier from Gaza landed in the Israeli city of Beersheba. No injuries were reported.

lion. Reuters reported that the sale is meant to bolster adoption of Google’s Android mobile software and compete with smartphone rival Apple Inc. In its biggest deal to date, Google said it would pay $40 per share in cash, a 63% premium to Motorola Mobility’s Friday closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares of Motorola Mobility jumped 59% following the sale announcement on Monday. Google has been forging ahead in the smartphone market but has been hampered by a lack of intellectual property in wireless telephony. A source close to the deal told Reuters Google swooped in to buy Motorola Mobility after losing out on Nortel’s patents. The source said, “It is much more than just a patent sale. It is obviously more than a strategy shift for Google that is very significant.” Activist investor Carl Icahn, Motorola’s biggest shareholder, welcomed the sale, saying in a statement the deal is “a great outcome for all shareholders of Motorola Mobility.” Google plans to run Motorola Mobility as a separate business and has said the deal will close by the end of 2011 or early in 2012.

Soros Meets Trouble of Another Sort o a quick online search of George Soros and you will usually find his name associated with high finance, politics, and his peculiar brand of philanthropy. This week, however, found his name associated with the type of news you find in trash-talking tabloids, thanks to a lawsuit filed by a former girlfriend. Brazilian soap-opera star Adriana Ferreyr, 28, was involved with the 80-yearold billionaire for about five years. Ferreyr claims that Soros promised to buy her a posh apartment on Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue, and that when their relationship ended, he bought the apartment for a new girlfriend. Ferreyr is suing Soros to the tune of $50 million, the price of the apartment he allegedly promised. The lawsuit further alleges that when Soros told Ferreyr that he had given the apartment to a new girlfriend, they got into a fight in which Soros slapped Ferreyr, tried to choke her, and then threw a lamp at her, after which Ferreyr called the police. In the police report, Ferreyr told officers that “a nearby lamp fell on her right foot.” However, she was not “fearful” when police arrived. They eventually resumed their relationship, during which time Soros offered to buy the apartment and reneged on the promise yet again. Soros then allegedly offered Ms. Ferreyr an undisclosed sum of money if she agreed to sign a release saying she would not sue him or discuss their relationship for five years. She did not agree to sign. A lawyer for Soros, William Zabel, called the lawsuit “frivolous and entirely without merit … riddled with false charges and is obviously an attempt to extract money from my client, who is a very wealthy man.” However, the lawsuit alleges that Ferreyr “continues to fear for her safety, which only serves to add to and heighten the emotional distress and anxiety from which she is suffering, as a direct result of being constantly watched and stalked by Soros’s private security detail.”

Schnabel Loses Pali Gal Pal easure for measure’ has finally caught up with putative Jewish artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, who has split with his Palestinian girlfriend of four years, Rula Jebreal. Schnabel met Jebreal in Rome in 2007, while Schnabel was still married to his second wife, Olatz Lopez Garmendia. Smitten with her and perhaps blinded to reality, Schnabel decided to direct a movie out of Jebreal’s supposedly autobiographical novel

“Miral.” The movie “Miral,” you may recall, whitewashed the pro-Nazi family of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the Husseinis, while blaming every iota of misfortune on Israeli ‘mistreatment’ of Julian Schnabel Palestinians, playing fast and loose with historic and geographic fact. After a grueling press tour promoting the movie, Schnabel and Jebreal called it quits. According to one source, “He ended it before the Venice Biennale in June. Things became very difficult working on the movie together and promoting it together. While it garnered critical acclaim, the movie was not a hit, which caused further issues.” According to another source, Schnabel and Jebreal quarreled vehemently in public during the “Miral” promotional tour, often over things as trivial as her hair style.
Coco Chanel a Nazi? merican journalist Hal Vaughn claims that Coco Chanel, whose name has become synonymous around the world with haute couture, collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War.

JEWCY NEWS
According to reports by the UK’s Daily Mail, Chanel was “fiercely antiSemitic long before it became a question of pleasing the Germans.” The author, an American expat living in Paris, claims in his book that Chanel was recruited into the Abwehr, a German military intelligence agency, Coco Chanel in 1940, and that her lover, Baron Hans Gunther von Dincklage, was honored by Hitler and Goebbels during the war. The Daily Mail notes that if Vaughn’s claims are true, Chanel joins the ranks of many highly esteemed French artists who collaborated with the Nazis (Excuse us for a moment while we recover from the shock of this last statement. –ed.), a list which includes actor and singer Maurice Chevalier and legendary vocalist Edith Piaf. Additionally, the paper says, the staff and owners of many great French businesses like Cartier have also been mentioned in the past as Nazi enablers and sympathizers. More recently, John Galliano, designer for Christian Dior, was criticized in the media and later fired from his position for expressing his fondness for Adolf Hitler [Y”S].

Recipe: Moroccan Spiced Chicken
COURTESY OF THEJEWISHHOSTESS.COM The Moroccan flavors of cumin, cinnamon, and lemon add a nice twist to grilled or roasted chicken. Butterflying the chicken takes minutes (or have your butcher do it—even faster) and the flattened chicken cooks evenly and in a fraction of the time it usually takes to cook a whole chicken, producing a juicy bird with a crisp golden skin. • 1 whole chicken (3-4 pounds) • 3 garlic cloves, minced (through a garlic press) • 2 tsp. ground cumin • 1 tsp. paprika • 1 tsp. salt • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon • 1/2 tsp. Aleppo pepper (or a few dashes of cayenne) • 2 T olive oil • 1-2 T lemon juice • freshly ground black pepper
Butterfly chicken: with poultry shears, cut along the length of the backbone on either side and remove it. Turn chicken over and with the palm of your hand, press down on the breast to flatten the chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Make spice paste: combine garlic, spices, olive oil, lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Rub the paste over both sides of the chicken, gently loosening the skin under the breasts and thighs with one finger and rubbing some of the paste between the meat and the skin. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for an hour or more, or overnight if you wish. Cook over indirect heat skin side up on a grill, covered, until done (about 40 minutes for a small bird, longer if bigger). Alternately, roast in the oven, making sure not to overcook it as it will cook faster than a whole chicken usually does. You can also use this rub for chicken parts—make sure to loosen the skin and rub the paste underneath. Serve with lemon wedges.

Well-Known Kosher Brands Get Fresh Start at Kedem BY T. COHN So what happened to Barton’s? Elite? Wissotzky Tea? Prigat? These brands, which have become major staples in kosher homes all over the US, are all part of a growing portfolio of such well-known brands at Kedem Foods, a major producer and distributor of kosher foods. he fact that these brands have found a home under Kedem is testimony of its growing penetration in the kosher market through a successful distribution network. According to Harold Weiss, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Kedem Foods, “our goal is to offer more kosher products on a more regular basis to benefit the kosher consumer in their search for high-quality products.” In other words, Kedem is seeking to put more products that it distributes on the expanding kosher shelf. Many of the brands that Kedem is now distributing have gone through several cycles of distribution under other companies, but for a variety of reasons “have decided to move on,” one source told Kosher Today. In recent months, Kedem has begun distributing the full line of the popular Prigat juices from Israel, introduced new Elite chocolate, candy, wafers, and coffee products to the American market, and has started to distribute six new items from Barton’s chocolate.
T
Additionally, in the coming months Kedem will begin carrying Wissotzky Tea’s new silk tea pouch tea bag, as part of Wissotzky’s new line of tea offerings. Kedem prides itself on maintaining an open line of communication with its customers. Through the use of social media like Twitter and Facebook, as well as through their own website, Kedem urges kosher consumers to speak up about what they like, dislike, and want more of. “We’re in a mode of constant evolution,” said Mr. Weiss, “we speak with our customers to find out how we can improve our traditional products as well as to hear their ideas about what currently non-kosher items they would like to see kosher options for. Additionally, we are always working in close partnership with our business associates, innovating and bringing new and exciting products to market.” A recent example of Kedem’s open communication is the success of Yehuda Matzos’ gluten-free matzostyle crackers. Displayed around Passover time and at first hesitant about sales, the crackers flew off the shelves as consumers who follow gluten-free diets urged Kedem via social media, phone calls, and letters to bring more of the product to market. Thanks to the overwhelming positive consumer response, Yehuda matzo-style crackers are now carried by Kedem year-round. REPORT COURTESY OF KOSHERTODAY.COM

Jaguar C-X16 Concept Teased Car Buyers Prefer Panorama Ahead of Frankfurt Auto Show Roofs Instead of Convertibles
Jaguar has just released the above teaser sketch of what it calls the C-X16 production concept. The name itself speaks volumes, and while this concept is intended to give a look at the future of Jaguar design, it’s likely to be a near production model.

cars that will aim to set new class benchmarks in design, vehicle dynamics and technology.”
Car buyers are choosing panorama roofs instead of convertibles. Ford has reported that sales of vehicles with panoramic roofs are increasing. Almost half of buyers purchasing the Explorer and Edge SUV are purchasing the option. About a third of Flex buyers are also buying the same skylight paneled cars. onvertible sales have also decreased accordingly. Traditionally, drop top sales accounted for 1.8% to 2.0% of the automarket which is down to 1.2% to 1.4%, according to information firm R.L Polk & Co. For a comparison, the best selling convertible this year was the Chevrolet Camaro with 7,540 sales. The 2011 Explorer
C
has already sold almost 25,000 vehicles equipped with the panoramic roofs. One reason for this success is that consumers are turning to more practical vehicles and finding that the panoramic roof is a good compromise. Ford also has its own theory as to why the glass roofs are a hit. “We are seeing more buildings utilizing glass structures because letting natural light in is a popular architectural trend,” said Sheryl Connelly, Ford’s manager of global trends and futuring. “This trend has crossed over to the automotive industry, and Ford’s Vista Roofs open the car to more sunlight which keeps drivers energized and gives the luxurious feel customers desire.”

Smoking Harms Women More Than Men, Study Shows The risk of developing coronary heart disease is 25 percent higher for women smokers compared with men, according to a study published in the British medical journal The Lancet. he authors say this could be due to the physiological differences between the sexes with cigarette smoke toxins having a more potent effect on women. The study, by Dr. Rachel R Huxley from the University of Minnesota and Dr Mark Woodward from Johns Hopkins University, involved a meta-analysis of around four million individuals and 67,000 coronary heart disease (CHD) events from 86 studies.
T
_______________________________
“The finding lends support to the idea of a pathophysiological basis for the sex difference. For example, women might extract a greater quantity of carcinogens and other toxic agents from the same number of cigarettes than men. ” _______________________________ The researchers found that the pooled adjusted female-to-male relative risk ratio (RRR) of smoking compared with not smoking for CHD was 1.25 (25 percent) higher for women. This RRR increased by 2 percent for every additional year of follow-up, meaning
that the longer a woman smokes, the higher her risk of developing CHD becomes compared with a man who has smoked the same length of time. The authors say, “The finding lends support to the idea of a pathophysiological basis for the sex difference. For example, women might extract a greater quantity of carcinogens and other toxic agents from the same number of cigarettes than men. This occurrence could explain why women who smoke have double the risk of lung cancer compared with their male counterparts.” Worldwide, there are 1.1 billion smokers, of whom a fifth are women. According to the Tobacco Atlas, India, with around 10 million female smokers, ranks third in the top 20 female smoking populations across the globe. Only the U.S., with 23 million female smokers, and China, with 13 million female smokers, are worse off.
Slowing Pancreatic Cancer ISRAELI RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY A PROTEIN THAT MAY PUT THE BRAKES ON A PARTICULARLY AGGRESSIVE FORM OF CANCER Israeli researchers have discovered that a protein known to retard the aging process also seems to prevent the growth of pancreatic cancer. If it could be produced commercially without significant side effects, this substance could provide a needed weapon against this and other fast-growing cancers. esearchers from the Cancer Research Center at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer studied the behavior of the protein klotho, a natural hormone emitted by the brain and kidneys. It is named after one of the Three Fates in Greek mythology, who spun thread to keep people alive. A laboratory study done at Sheba in 2008 found that klotho prevented breast cancer cells from multiplying. Later, researchers discovered that mutations of this protein, called BRCA1 and BRCA2, greatly increase the risk of women developing breast cancer: The Israeli study follows recent findings in other countries indicating that klotho may prevent the spread of liver and cervical cancer. In the current experiments using mice with pancreatic cancer, scientists wanted to determine how klotho could work against this particularly aggressive, rapidly spreading disease, for which there is no effective treatment. About 610 Israelis are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year, and it causes eight out of every 100,000 deaths among Israeli men and six out of every 100,000 deaths among Israeli women. In the United States, an estimated 37,660 people will die of pancreatic cancer this year. The scientists noticed that healthy pancreatic cells contain klotho, but cancerous cells do not. When they injected the cancerous mice with klotho, they discovered that it not only prevented the cancer from spread-

Dr. Lilach Abramovitz and Dr. Tami Rubinek were also involved in the study, funded by the Israel Cancer Association. Results are to be published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. Before looking for partners to cooperate in advancing the use of klotho on the commercial level, the scientists’ next step is to figure out how to reduce an unwanted and potentially dangerous side effect of klotho. “This protein is vital for controlling the level of calcium and phosphorus in the body, and administering the protein is like administering any other hormone: It has the side effect of increasing hormonal activity,” Wolf explained. “There is a known connection between cancer and diabetes, [a disease] that involves unusual hormonal activity, and the current research provides an additional source for examining the connection between hormones and cancer,” Wolf said.

Book Review: Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America by Kenneth L. Marcus; Cambridge University Press, 2010, 225 pp. REVIEWED BY ASAF ROMIROWSKY Why has the position of Jews at American universities deteriorated in the past decade and what can be done about it? Understanding the history of this dilemma requires going back a number of years. In 2003 the social commentator Stanley Kurtz testified before the House Subcommittee on Select Education. The hearing was convened to examine charges of bias in international studies programs funded under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, including the academic study of the Middle East and other areas of the world. Kurtz, in conjunction with other critics such as the Middle East scholars Daniel Pipes and Martin Kramer, highlighted the bias existing in Title VI– funded Middle East centers. his bias correlated with the influence of the late Palestinian intellectual Edward Said. Said was a leading figure in the creation of the ruling intellectual paradigm in academic area studies (especially Middle East studies), which is called postcolonial theory. In that context, Said equated academics who support American foreign policy with the nineteenth-century European intellectuals who allegedly propped up racist colonial empires. A core premise of postcolonial theory is that it is immoral for a scholar to put his knowledge of foreign languages and cultures at the service of American power. Said’s major work, Orientalism, blamed all of the troubles of the Middle East on the West, stemming from a “trifecta of evils”—imperialism, racism, and Zionism. While Orientalism often ignored evidence that ran counter to its thesis, it is still the canonical text in the field of Middle Eastern studies. Martin Kramer, in his book Ivory Towers on Sand: The Failure of Middle Eastern Studies in America, details the pervasive influence of Said’s postcolonial theory on the discipline of Middle East studies throughout North America. These ideas, which became institutionalized over the past decades, form the backdrop to the treatment of Jews and Israel on American campuses.
T
Harassment: A Problem of Definition During the first term of President George W. Bush, Kenneth Marcus served as delegated assistant secretary of education for civil
Cover of Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America rights in the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). In Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America, he details his efforts in that capacity to have Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 apply to the ill-treatment of Jewish students. Marcus was responding to the fostering by pro-Palestinian groups of a new wave of antiSemitic harassment of Jewish and pro-Israeli students on American campuses. Title VI prohibits discrimination on grounds of race and national origin, and proven examples of discrimination can lead to the withholding of federal funds from educational institutions. There was, however, a loophole. Religion was not included as a permissible basis for alleging discrimination in the other parts of the Civil Rights Act and was omitted from the provisions of Title VI as a prohibited basis of discrimination. Moreover, the drafters of this legislation still are reluctant to protect Jewish students because Judaism is deemed only a religion rather than an ethnic group, and Congress has not authorized probes of religious bias. Furthermore, the OCR does not want to be seen as singling out American Jews as a separate “race” or “nation.” Marcus, however, argues that the increase in anti-Israelism among North American campuses has reached the level of
anti-Semitism and that discrimination against Jews is indeed covered by the Civil Rights Act. This new situation has demonstrated the need for a clear and inclusive definition of anti-Semitism and an answer to the question of whether anti-Israelism constitutes antiSemitism. The apparent dilemma has been that anti-Israelism itself is not blatantly or even necessarily anti-Semitic but rather may appear merely critical of “Zionist policies,” thus distinguishing between Jews and Zionists. This well-worn distinction has enabled the anti-Israeli camp to pose as critics who are in good faith. What has actually emerged, in effect, is a new form of antiSemitism, because the state of Israel acts as a proxy for Jews at large. To the extent that it becomes harder to make a case for Israel on campus and in the Jewish community in general, the environment has become increasingly hostile to the pro-Israeli community. John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy presents an additional challenge as it focuses on the U.S.-Israeli partnership. The authors contend that there is no sound justification for America’s support for Israel, to which they refer as a “strategic burden.” They argue further that the pro-Israeli camp has “hijacked” U.S. foreign policy to the detriment of America’s interests. Mearsheimer and Walt actually claim that AIPAC’s pressure bought about the war in Iraq. Marcus also underscores the fact that an integral part of anti-Israelism is the adaptation of Holocaust rhetoric to the IsraeliPalestinian dynamic, by equating the Palestinian Nakba (“catastrophe”) with the Holocaust. This has engendered statements that, for example, Israelis are doing to Palestinians what was done to Jews during World War II and that the security fence is Israel’s method of “ghettoizing” the Palestinians. Such abusive rhetoric poses yet another hurdle for the pro-Israeli community, which has to counter demands to recognize a nonexistent Palestinian “Holocaust.” This task becomes increasingly difficult as the media consistently promotes the Palestinian grievance. The fact is that, despite the recent resurgence of anti-Semitic incidents on American college campuses, the OCR has been incapable of protecting Jewish students. This fiasco has resulted from a problem of definition. Because it lacks a working understanding of either Jewish identity or anti-Jewish hatred, the OCR has been unable to address
the problem of anti-Jewish harassment. The late Gary A. Tobin, who coauthored The UnCivil University, wrote that while anti-Israelism, in itself, encourages anti-Semitic sentiment, it also invites participation by traditional anti-Semites who tailor their bigotry to focus on Israel in order to be acceptable on campus. The use of offensive imagery, such as the swastika to portray Jews, the rejection of opinion based on ethnicity, and demonization to the point where physical threats seem justified, is not part of civil discourse and legitimate critique.

THE BERKSHIRES JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL (CONGREGATION KNESSET ISRAEL) CHARGED WITH FOSTERING ANTI-ISRAEL HATRED The pro-Israel watchdog group JCCWatch.org has accused Congregation Knesset Israel and the Berkshires Jewish Film Festival with fostering anti-Israel hatred with the showing of the propaganda film “Miral” on August 15. The Greylock Federal Credit Union and The Harold Grinspoon Foundation sponsor the film, which delegitimizes Israel and fosters hatred towards Israel. ichard Allen, founder of JCCWatch.org, said, “This film prompted a walkout by the entire Israeli diplomatic delegation when it was shown at the United Nations in the UN’s effort to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel. It is shocking that it is featured at the Berkshire Jewish Film Festival.” Richard Allen continued: “The fact that Greylock Federal Credit Union and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation has decided to go ahead with this sponsorship is equally dis-

It is also shameful that the Knesset Israel’s Rabbi Weiner has closed off all contact with community members who
are upset at this effort to delegitimize Israel. This effort to defame Israel and arouse anger against Israel is an attempt to delink Jewish support of Israel within the United States and the Jewish Community. The fact that the Berkshire Jewish Film Festival, Congregation Knesset Israel, The Greylock Federal Credit Union and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation are supporting this hate Israel agenda is very shameful.” In a statement to the press, JCCWatch.org called on all these organizations to “withhold
their support and withdraw the anti-Israel film ‘Miral’ from their schedule. It is important that Jewish communal money and organizations not be used to malign and promote the delegitimization of Israel.” JCCWatch.org is a volunteer organization that came into being when it was discovered that the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan, through its “Other Israel Film Festival” (OIFF) website, actively partners with or links to groups that, in addition to their stated missions, support, fund, or closely work with organizations that advocate the BDS movement against Israel.

Parshat Parshas Eikev: Even though Moshe, in his review of the life of the Jewish people in the desert of Sinai over the past forty years, recounts all of the miracles that occurred, he does so not for the purpose of narrative but rather to teach an important moral lesson for all ages. That stark lesson is that after all of the miracles that G-d may perform on our behalf, our fate is in great measure in our hands. And the lesson of all of Jewish history is summed up in the verse “For not by bread alone—even miraculous bread such as the manna—shall humans live, but rather by the word of G-d, so to speak—the values, commandments, and strictures of Torah shall Jews live.” ll attempts to avoid this lesson, to substitute other words, ideas, and ideologies for the words of Torah, have turned into dismal failures. But reliance upon miracles is just as dangerous a path. My teachers in the yeshiva would say to us, then pious young men, that prayer helps one to become a scholar in Torah. But they emphasized that sitting and studying Torah

for a protracted time with concentration and effort may help even more in the quest for true Torah scholarship. Moshe uses the constant miracles of the desert to drive home the point that much of the responsibilities of life are in our hands and our decision-making processes. In essence, the clear conclusion from his oration is that G-d helps those who help themselves. In our post–Tisha B’Av mood and run-up to Elul and the High Holy Days, it is important to remember how much of our fate truly lies in our own actions. The small choices that we make in our everyday lives add up to our life’s achievements and accomplishments. That is what Rashi means when he states that “these are the commandments that one grinds under with one’s heel—ekev!” The small things that we think to be unimportant at the moment often translate into major decisions and sometimes even have irreversible consequences. The question always before us is do our actions measure up to the standards of G-d’s word, so to speak. We live not “by bread alone” or by miracles alone, but by our own choices and our very own behavior and deeds. While recently driving on a New York

These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b'Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah. he exiled Jewish people express their concern that G d has abandoned them. G d reassures them that it is not so, comparing His love and mercy for His people to that of a mother for her children, and even greater than that, too. The prophet Isaiah then touchingly describes the ingathering of the exiles which will occur with the Messiah's arrival and returning to the initial subject matter of this haftarah, that of the Jewish people's complaint of being abandoned by G-d, he reminds them of their rebellious behavior that brought about the exile and suffering. He concludes with encouraging words, reminding us of what had happened to our ancestors, Abraham and Sarah. Just as they were blessed with a child when they had all but given up hope, so too, G d will send us the Messiah.

City highway—an exercise in patience and utter futility—I missed the exit that I was supposed to turn off on. Miles and a quarter of an hour later I was able somehow to retrace my journey and exit at the proper place. I felt that it was a miracle that I was able to do so. It was, in fact, my negligence of not exiting correctly from the highway
originally that forced the necessity of this “miracle.” Moshe teaches us that this is truly a daily occurrence in our lives. His message to us is as clear and cogent today as it was to our forbears in the desert of Sinai long ago. Shabat shalom. Rabbi Berel Wein D’VAR TORAH COURTESY OF TORAH.ORG

TOP FIVE TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOUSE THIS FALL BY LISA JOHNSON SEVAJIAN It’s hard to believe that kids will be heading back to school and leaves will be changing color in a matter of a few weeks. This can be an extremely busy time for a lot of families, especially those juggling family life and selling their home. To optimize your chances at selling your home as the seasons change, follow these tips: Update your home’s online photos. Most prospective buyers scour the Internet before they start scheduling inperson showings. If the temperatures drop and the photos available online of your house are taken at the height of summer with flowers in full bloom and grass at its greenest, they will highlight the fact that your house has been on the market for a while, which will make it seem less desirable. Store your summer clothes, and anything else strictly summer. By storing these pieces and items, your closet space will seem larger and convey extra space to potential buyers. Remember that most buyers are buying a new home because they have run out of space. For those that are downsizing, they are accustomed to having more closet and storage space. Closets that have some open space are sure to impress both types of home seekers. Be meticulous about your landscape. Keeping up with falling leaves can be tedious and time consuming but it’s necessary if you want to impress buyers. Unkempt leaves can be hazardous on walkways, sidewalks, and your driveway; if someone slips and falls on their way to see your home, they won’t be left feeling like yours is their dream home. Invest in some fall flowers

to spruce up the outdoors and transition into the fall. Make sure that outdoor living areas are immaculately kept because in a tough market you are competing for qualified buyers’ attention. Seasonal changes to decor help sell homes. It’s not a bad idea to buy some new luxurious bathroom towels and set them out for showings only. Easy fixes, including buying some new throw pillows for your couch, keeping in mind that each season has its own “in” color palette; replacing your shower curtain; and investing in a new area rug can make a big difference to the main living area. Remember that fall and winter are very successful selling seasons. Many people mistakenly take their homes off the market during the holidays for convenience’s sake. Traditionally there is less competition and more serious buyers. This can be a winning combination for homeowners serious about moving. It’s important to keep in mind that homes sell all year round.

Embracing Color on Your Home
The growing trend of homeowners staying in their existing houses longer due to economic challenges has had a colorful effect on homes. People are taking the opportunity to personalize their homes more with colorful exterior accents and they're not stopping with just a splash of paint. ccording to color expert Kate Smith, homeowners are taking steps to express their personalities by adding color to everything from their roofs to their entry doors to their window frames. "Today's homeowners are looking beyond variations of whites and beiges to set off the key accent points of their homes, such as louvers, trim and window frames," says Smith, president of Sensational Color. "With the realization that they're going to be staying in their current houses longer comes the commitment by people to truly personalize their homes. This has resulted in eye-catching neighborhoods. "As homeowners replace major components of their homes they place greater value on finding products with a long life span, lower maintenance and style. They are seeking out both a noticeable change and an improvement from existing products on the home. The ability to add a creative element, personal touch or signature color tends to 'bond' homeowners even more closely with their living spaces." According to Smith, one of the hottest
A
trends for exterior enhancements is to select vinyl windows with exterior color frames that complement the overall look of the home. She cites the Decorum by Simonton product line as one that offers everything consumers are looking for --- color, energy efficiency, style and low maintenance. "With their minds on sustainability and their eye on good design, many homeowners are investing in color as a way to express themselves and reinvent their current homes," says Smith. "Simonton offers exterior window frame colors of brick red, pine green, bronze, driftwood and chocolate that perfectly match up with the earthy colors homeowners gravitate to for their home exteriors. These same colors can be drawn out further on trim elements of the home along with being component colors of the roof and entry door." Along with offering colorful exteriors on their replacement window frame exteriors, Simonton also offers the same colors on new construction windows so homeowners can build with color confidence right from the start. "A window is like a two-sided canvas," says Smith. "The colors on the frame exteriors enhance the home's overall appearance from the street. And, then when you get inside and select stylish woodgrain frame interiors and premium hardware finishes, you're adding beauty to the room settings. That's a 'win-win' experience for any homeowner."

Call to Nationalists: Don’t Join the Protests...

Instead of asking what we can do for our country, they seek to teach us to ask what our country can do for us.” “These people, this ‘collapsing middle
class,’ with their designer clothes and luxurybrand baby strollers, are not in search of social justice. What they want is to be spoiled. They want us, the taxpayers, to help pay their living expenses.” “Our children will keep putting our country first. They will keep volunteering to serve
in elite army units. They will keep participating in all sorts of social projects. They, and we, will keep wondering why they almost never saw any of you in these places.” Indor addressed the protesters: “If you really are so unfortunate, then we are willing to help you out at the expense of our modest
pensions and salaries. But do us a favor and take down your embarrassing tents.” Some of the more liberal religious Zionist rabbis, including Rav Yuval Cherlow, Rav Shai Piron, and Rav Benny Lau, have come out in support of the protest.

Parsons Suit Against Palestinian Authority Can Go Forward... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 Qarmout said members of the group dug the hole in front of PA security forces.

ing,” Tatel noted in his majority opinion. “The explosive device was planted 20 meters from the [PA] National Security checkpoint, a fact that indicates that those present in front of the checkpoint that day have previous knowledge of the presence of the device,” the memo read.
The bombing occurred after information about the arrival of U.S. embassy staff was leaked, either by PA national security officials accompanying the convoy or manning the checkpoint, the writer concluded. The appellate court concluded that “a reasonable juror could find on the basis of

Schumer Reveals: Background Checks Not Required for Workers Accessing Power Plants... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 ground checks on their employees—a major security loophole for potential terror threats. In light of the report, security experts raised concerns that major utilities could be a top terror target for any terrorists around the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Chad Sweet, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, noted that only through an attack on U.S. utilities could al-Qaeda inflict the massive amount of damage that documents found at Osama Bin Laden’s
compound indicate he was planning. And Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism advisor, pointed out that after gaining access to sensitive facilities, causing a massive amount of destruction is relatively easy. In the wake of these revelations, Schumer is introducing legislation that would require major utilities and critical infrastructure facilities to vet employees with access to the most sensitive areas of utilities against the
FBI’s criminal history record repository, the Interstate Identification Index (Triple I) system, which contains fingerprint records from all states, U.S. territories, federal, and international criminal justice agencies. Employees working at nuclear facilities are already checked against the Triple I system, but employees at other major utilities are not. Schumer noted that the cost of conducting the background checks is financed through user fees and allows the FBI to easily handle
an increase in the number of necessary background checks. “In the face of the intelligence we’ve recovered from Afghanistan, this Homeland Security report, and the domestic incidents of sabotage, it would be irresponsible not to use the resources already available to us from the FBI to ensure security threats don’t have access to control rooms where, with the press of a few buttons, massive terror can be unleashed,” continued Schumer.

supporters (Jewish or otherwise) condemn anyone who dares dissent as a ‘liberal.’ Well, this avowedly nonliberal editor dares to dissent—on Jewish grounds. We are believers, the children of believers, and although we have no one to lean on other than our Father in Heaven, even believing Jews who ought to know better have found something less than Divine to believe in. We have made for ourselves nothing short of a new golden calf, substituting it for our holy Torah and the voices of those who teach
it. There are seventy faces to the Torah, as our sages teach, but we seem to insist on adding a 71st from outside the fold. And even if Beck were 100% sincere, without any hidden agendas, we would still be very wise to heed the words of King David, in Psalm 146:3-4, read by devout Jews every morning: “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goes forth, he returns to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.”
The Golden Calf... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 And now that Beck has spoken before the Knesset and is given the green light in the staging of his ‘Courage’ rally, he believes he has earned the right to pontificate about all matters Israeli. Specifically, he has called the current ‘tent city’ protests in Tel Aviv and other locations the doing of ‘communists,’ calling into question the financing of these protests and suggesting a sinister connection between the protesters in Israel and world socialism—framing the whole matter in the context of the sort of anarchists who protest
G-8 meetings, and squeezing the square peg of what should be an internal Israeli matter into the round hole of his us-and-them, liberal-versus-conservative worldview. Let him go on back to where he came from and stick to things he might actually know a thing or two about, and let Jews and Israelis handle Jewish and Israeli matters. The way so many Jews fawn on Glenn Beck is appalling, regardless of how proIsrael he positions himself. Equally disgusting is the knee-jerk manner in which Beck
Book Review: Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 34 struck a significant chord that consequently allowed groups such as the Zionist Organization of America to file a complaint against the University of California, Irvine (UCI) on grounds of anti-Semitic harassment. These allegations are now being probed by the U.S. Department of Education. Furthermore, Marcus’s work enabled the California district attorney’s office to press criminal charges against a group of Muslim students for infringing the freedom of speech of Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren at UCI. During an address there in February last year, Oren was repeatedly interrupted by this group of Muslim students. Instead of waiting to express their dissent during the scheduled question-andanswer session, they took turns standing up and shouting epithets at Oren such as “mass murderer” and “war criminal.” As a result, Oren’s ability to make his points was significantly impaired. Consequently, Orange County’s district
attorney Tony Rackauckas has filed misdemeanor charges against the students—known as the Irvine 11—accusing them of an “organized attempt to squelch the speaker.” He also said the students “meant to stop this speech and stop anyone else from hearing [Oren’s] ideas, and they did so by disrupting a lawful meeting.”[2] It is, however, quite indicative of the academy’s attitude of impunity that whatever is said in a classroom, academic or not, is deemed protected by “academic freedom.” Only sexual harassment appears exempt from this blanket protection. Gradually the entire American campus has become an “academic freedom” zone where protests and other activities now qualify as academic “speech.” The freedom to critique is, predictably, directed mostly at the two Satans: Israel and America, while efforts to curtail speech that academics find uncongenial have long taken the form of “speech codes” and restrictions on “hate speech.” Clearly, the
exercise of academic freedom is a one-way street; only those having the correct opinions may claim it. Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America presents clear evidence of the lack of balance in academia, where so-called scholarship consistently fails to examine, much less condemn, terrorism or jihadism. Such an atmosphere enables intolerable ideas to become accepted as the norm. This situation must be challenged by all those concerned about the health of academia, as well as the continued well-being of Israel. It is to be hoped that Marcus’s efforts will prove effective and that this book will serve as a wakeup call for the Jewish community at large and encourage proactive steps on these
critical issues. Asaf Romirowsky is a Philadelphia-based Middle East analyst, a lecturer in history at Pennsylvania State University, and an adjunct scholar at the Middle East Forum.

SHORTENING THE LINE AT NEW JERSEY MOTOR VEHICLES
Don’t worry, good people of New Jersey—you’ll only have to endure the long lines at the motor vehicles offices for one more year. At that point, the Motor Vehicle Commission will make some of its services available online or by mail. VC Chief Administrator Raymond Martinez, speaking at a meeting of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee August 4, said that incremental improvements to the system will be made over the next few months. The meeting dealt with the public’s rising anger at long delays at the MVC’s centers and computer glitches that caused the agency’s systems to crash, once for 90 minutes and another time for four hours. Martinez said that the perpetual delays and the computer glitches are not necessarily part of the same issue. The longer lines are due to an increase in license renewals caused by the changeover from four-year licenses to six-year licenses last decade, he said. Many of the six-year licenses are beginning to come up for renewal, and statistics show that the number of license transactions handled by the MVC was expected to double between 2009 and 2011, from 1 million to about 2 million. The way to head off the wave of renewals is to make those services available online or by mail. The technology to enable online renewals will be in place by the end of 2012, but in the interim, some license transactions by mail should become available. “The simplest and most obvious solution is reducing the number of people physically coming to the office,” Martinez said. However, at the moment, there are still delays, which for some customers can last for several hours. According to Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (DParamus), some MVC customers said they waited in line for five hours before being told to come back the following day. The MVC is dealing with the problem in several ways, including adding 22 new cameras at high-volume offices to expedite license transactions, opening offices on Mondays, and keeping offices open for longer hours on other days. The public should be able to feel the effects of these changes over the next two or three months as people become aware of the new hours, Martinez said. Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Wood-Ridge), committee chairman, asked Martinez why the MVC closed four offices due to budget cuts. Martinez said the offices were small and inefficient—“no bigger than a medium-sized
M
deli”—and that the MVC was in the process of renovating and expanding high-volume offices in Edison, Cherry Hill, Rahway, and Lodi, and adding a new building at Baker’s Basin outside Trenton. Martinez compared the MVC’s current computer system to an old jalopy “that I hope is going to start up every day,” stating that the commission is using $50 million in bonds to revamp the system by the end of next year. However, it was a glitch in the state’s computer systems that caused the July meltdowns affecting the commission and other agencies, Martinez cautioned. Sarlo claimed that none of the recent cuts in the state’s information technology budget had to do with upgrades to the Motor Vehicle _______________________________

JEWISH SPIRITUALITY ALIVE AND WELL ON JERSEY SHORE BY REUVENA LEAH GRODNITZKY For tourists and residents alike, Chabad-Lubavitch at the Shore provides a much-needed spiritual respite from the sand and sun in and around Atlantic City. For the past 25 years, the Rapoport family has served beachgoers with traditional Sabbath and holiday programming, as well as services specific to the South Jersey vacation hotspot. hen Rabbi Shmuel and Tova Rapoport first moved to the Shore close to three decades ago, they couldn’t imagine the extent to which their Chabad House would become a family affair, involving many of their children, including current director Rabbi Avrohom Rapoport, as well as hundreds of locals and summer residents. “We’re here to provide inspiration for people,” said Avrohom Rapoport, who took the reins five years ago and now hosts more than 100 guests on an average summer weekend. “When people participate, they feel proud of being Jewish, no matter who they are.” Such Jewish pride takes many forms. From kosher barbecues on the beach to the seventh annual Jewish summer festival, which is set to draw close to 800 people for an evening of music, food, rides, crafts, and camaraderie, the center is reaching out to all elements of the Jewish shore-going public. “The festival really attracts hundreds from all different walks of life, and so many people look forward to it every year,” said Ari Rabinowitz, who lives full time in Ventnor, NJ, which shares a border with Atlantic City. “Chabad provides an incredible sense of community, especially in such a transient one, and it’s the place where visitors and locals can always feel welcome and at home.” Since meeting the Rapoports close to three years ago, Rabinowitz has strengthened his connection to Judaism to the point of keeping a kosher home, donning the prayer boxes known as tefillin, and praying with the community every day. He and some of the 50,000 Jewish tourists and residents who call the Shore home every summer find themselves enjoying Sabbath meals at the Rapoport home and synagogue as a way to further their connection to both the community and their heritage. A popular venue, which attracts the youngest members of the shore community, is Crafts for Kids, a storefront on the board-

In the colorful, friendly store, children aged two and older can choose from more than 75 different crafts to build or paint. For the few hundred children who choose a craft every month, the activities are something to do besides sitting at the beach all day. Crafts for Kids’ main attraction, however, is its weekly challah-baking workshop. According to Rapoport, tens of thousands of children have baked their own challahs in the now reservation-only class, which guides children and their parents through the entire baking process from start to finish. Every Friday, Rapoport hosts three 15-child workshops, and sends families home with a recipe and a freshly baked challah. “The challah-baking workshop has become a great opportunity to connect with the families about the Sabbath,” said Rapoport. “I send them home with a ‘goodie-bag’ of Sabbath candles and candle-lighting times, and as a result, I have seen many families begin to have to their own Sabbath meals at home.” For those who call the Shore home year round, the Rapoport family has become a source of strength and growth. Wendy Land, who lives in nearby Egg Harbor Township, became more involved with Chabad about two years ago when she was searching for more spirituality in her life. Since then, her life has changed to incorporate more Jewish practice. “Rabbi Avrohom came to make my kitchen kosher this year, and it was the most
beautiful experience,” said Land, who recently made a celebration in synagogue in honor of her daughter’s choosing a Hebrew name. “He sang and told stories the whole time; I’m very lucky to have found him. I’m glad to be able to rekindle my spirituality through Chabad, and this warm, kind, and compassionate family.” For Helen Luloff Goddard, of Absecon, attending a weekly Torah study class has been an unexpected opportunity to reconnect

ISRAEL’S TOP MUSIC FESTIVALS
The crowd enjoys the moment at Jacob's Ladder. has hosted a veritable who’s-who of internaBY BRIAN BLUM Israel is too often perceived through an exclusively political, religious, or historical lens. An equally compelling current for locals is music. The country is chock-ablock full of music festivals. hether your preference runs to jazz, rock, classical, choral, rap, or klezmer; whether you enjoy the desert, the mountains, or the heart of the city, you’ll find an event tailored to your taste. In random order, here are several of Israel’s Music Festivals:
W
Jacob’s Ladder Yehudit and Menahem Vinegrad, two immigrants from the UK, bemoaned the lack of quality folk music when they arrived in Israel in the late 1960s. Their response was to start Jacob’s Ladder, a festival that, from modest beginnings on a muddy kibbutz hill in 1978, has grown to become a wonderfully homey folk-music event that attracts talent from around the world and thousands of revelers within the country. Jacob’s Ladder is now held twice a year at Kibbutz Nof Ginosar on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Most attendees pitch tents for the three days of nearly non-stop folk, country rock, and a smattering of blues from some 45 different performers. A Canadian bluegrass combo, The Abrams Brothers, headlined for several years, with Celtic music taking the main stage in 2010. On Friday nights there’s an Irish music jam session that stretches into the wee hours. Jacob’s Ladder is known as an “Anglo” festival although, over the years, a good number of Israelis have joined in. The laidback atmosphere is renowned for safety (theft is rare) and cleanliness (everyone pitches in to pick up the trash at the festival’s end).
Red Sea Jazz Festival Jazz music aficionados head down to Eilat every August for the annual four-day Red Sea Jazz Festival, which features nine concerts a night, six “clinics” with guest artists, and popular nightly jam sessions. The music ranges from New Orleans jazz to big band, Latin, and World music. The venue is big—there are indoor and outdoor spaces with as many as 4,000 seats overlooking the water at the Eilat Port—and the festival attracts many overseas performers. Original compositions by local musicians and a nightly showcase of youth jazz bands are part of the mix. Since its inception in 1987, the festival
tional jazz stars, including Chick Corea, the Mingus Big Band, Tower of Power, The Manhattan Transfer, Ricki Lee Jones, and Spyro Gyra.
Woodstock Revival Festival Chances are that most members of the youthful audience at the annual Woodstock Revival Festival in Jerusalem weren’t even born when the seminal sixties concert took place at Max Yasgur’s farm in upstate New York. That hasn’t stopped this mostly Anglo crowd from grooving on the synthetic grass of the capital’s Kraft Stadium to a lineup of Israeli bands channeling the likes of The Who; Janis Joplin; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; and Jimi Hendrix. The vibe for the Jerusalem Woodstock festival is more chill than party, although there is a teenage throng bopping away next to the stage. Performers have included blues maestro Ronnie Peterson doing songs from Bob Dylan (who wasn’t actually at the original Woodstock); popular Israeli singer/songwriter Geva Alon whose interpretation of Neil Young is spot-on; and Lazer Lloyd performing Jimi Hendrix in a foot-long scraggly beard and adding a local twist: an electrified version of HaTikva, Israel’s national anthem. The festival is held in August, when Jerusalem’s mild nights are a welcome contrast to the blazing summer sun. One of the Woodstock Revival’s organizers quips that the event, taking place on the outskirts of some of Jerusalem’s more religious neighborhoods, is not about re-creating an atmosphere of free love, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. “The rock and roll part, yes. But not the other stuff,” he says.
Safed Klezmer Festival Long known as European Jewish “soul music,” the Yiddish word klezmer originates from the Hebrew klei-zemer, meaning musical instruments. So it’s no surprise that the annual Klezmer Festival in the northern Galilee city of Safed is all instrumental. Launched in 1988 and now featuring over 100 performances, the August festival fills every nook and cranny of the city, with outdoor shows playing in the picturesque narrow alleyways and courtyards of Safed’s artists’ quarter, as well as in the Red Mosque. Local artists set up their wares on craft tables along the main pedestrian walkways. The festival also includes a number of musicians playing tributes to the late singing Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. Despite the cramped layout, the festival

Eleven Murdered in Acapulco; Local Government Denies Negative Impact on Tourism In the latest wave of drug-related violence that has been plaguing the area for months, nearly a dozen people were murdered over the weekend in the Mexican coast resort town of Acapulco, police said Sunday. hree victims were shot to death on Saturday and eight on Sunday, according to a statement issued by the public safety department in Guerrero, the state in which Acapulco is located. Reports indicate that four men were gunned down in a drive-by shooting. A fifth man, aged 36, was injured. Authorities also discovered the bodies of a 30-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman who had been shot. The man’s hands had been tied and he had been blindfolded. That same day, police discovered the bodies of two men estimated to be in their 20s who also had been shot to death. Messages believed to have been left by drug traffickers were found next to their bodies, the statement said. Earlier in the weekend, the badly beaten body of a man was found half-buried in the ground wrapped in a sheet, while two more men with fatal gunshot wounds were found in a local graveyard. One had died after being shot in the back of the net, the other died en route to the hospital. Authorities have not, at the time of this writing, detained any suspects. State tourism secretary Graciela Báez affirmed recently that violence has not badly affected tourism in Acapulco, prompting incredulous reaction from local travel agents. Carmen Pineda of PGC Group Acapulco, speaking on behalf of the local agents, said that not only do press reports discourage tourists from coming, but the tourists themselves spread the word. Many tourists witness acts of violence while on vacation, then write about them on travel websites and blogs. The travel agents perceive the problem as getting worse, not better. Pineda’s company works mostly with people originating in Mexico City and Guanajuato, but much less with international tourists. Current traffic is “about 6 on a scale of 1 to 10” [in Mexican educational institutions, 10 is the highest grade, and 6 is fail-

This once idyllic tropical vacation spot has been devastated by a wave of drug-related violence. Many tourists have witnessed acts of violence while on vacation, and travel agents perceive the problem as getting worse, not better. ing], Pineda said. “Compared to last year, the number of tourists coming for summer vacation has been very low,” she said. “Obviously we are affected by the violence. We cannot hide what is going on; if we are asked, we try to explain that the violence takes place in the poorer neighborhoods outside the tourist zone, but recently, the tourist zone has also been affected,” Pineda declared. One of her clients witnessed the murder of a man outside the Mojito disco in Condesa. Pineda quoted the client: “The woman said, ‘I came here to have fun, and a dead person falls right in front of me.’ No matter how pleasant the rest of her trip, that one disagreeable event will spoil everything.” Pineda also pointed to the murder last Sunday of a taxi driver and the burning of his vehicle right in front of the Cici Water Park in Costa Azul. She had clients, who had taken their children to the water park, who had personally witnessed the murder and arson. “This sort of thing cannot be remedied by public relations and denials of the impact of the problem,” she said, clearly referring to recent statements by tourism officials that minimized the impact of violence on tourism in Acapulco.
New International Airport to Open Near Eilat in Southern Israel in 2014 The Israel Ministry of Tourism announced plans this week to open a new international airport in Timna, just 11 miles north of the southern seaside resort town of Eilat, in late summer 2014. o be named after the late Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, Israel’s new international airport will replace existing airports in Ovda and Eilat, and feature a stateof-the-art light rail that will transport travelers to downtown Eilat, as well as long- and short-term overnight parking. The $422 million airport is expected to spark a 300% increase in tourism to southern Israel with an anticipated 1.5 million travelers arriving on both international and domestic flights each year. “We are extremely excited about the construction of the new international airport near Eilat, which will help encourage travel and simplify access to one of Israel’s most beautiful and inspiring regions,” said Haim

DAVID STERN AND JORDAN FARMER, TWO JEWISH BOYS WITH GOOD BUSINESS HEADS ON THEIR SHOULDERS BY ARI LOUIS In July 2011, 23 of the 30 N.B.A. owners claimed they lost money in the previous season and as a result they decided to declare a lockout, which is a fancy way of saying an owner’s strike. In June of 2011, the N.B.A. had its highest-rated N.B.A. Finals since Michael Jordan’s appearance in the championship round in 1998. The timing of the lockout is a problem, as the league is currently on a ratings high and a lockout can ruin the goodwill it achieved last season. ack in 1984, the league had to deal with bigger problems than ruining goodwill. The N.B.A. was in serious financial debt, fights were very common during games, and the league’s popularity was arguably the fourth most popular sport of the four most popular sports in America. David Stern took over as commissioner in
B

“The lockout will make relatively unknown players like Farmer international stars and once the lockout ends, owners will reconsider Stern’s idea of putting N.B.A. teams overseas. ” ______________________________
1984, and since then the game has been taken to a whole new level. Now it’s the seconnd most popular sport, behind the juggernaut of the N.F.L., and the N.B.A.’s global appeal can’t be overstated. Today, Michael Jordan
David Stern (left) and Jordan Farmer. yarmulkes are still sold in Israel. Stern did some questionable things as commissioner. He fined coaches if they spoke poorly of the referees and fined owners if they spoke harshly of the association. He imposed strict suspensions on players regarding physical altercations. For example, if two players on the court were engaged in hand-to-hand combat and a player who sat on the bench merely walked onto the court, that player was automatically suspended for a game. This controversial rule has showed itself in the post-season numerous times and arguably cost the Phoenix Suns a championship in 2007. Stern also implemented a dress code, ordering players to wear suits and ties before and after games. In addition to Stern’s dictator-like ways, he has been accused of a few conspiracies. In 1985, a year after Stern took over, he created
the N.B.A. lottery. The way the draft works in most sports is fairly simple: the team that finished last in the previous season gets the first pick of the upcoming draft. The N.B.A. is the only one of the four major sports to have a lottery. All the teams who do not make the playoffs are represented by a ping pong ball and thrown into a machine. The team’s ball that comes out first gets the first pick. In 1985, Stern was accused of rigging the lottery to give the New York Knicks (who had and have the biggest sports market in the U.S.A.) the top pick in the 1985 N.B.A. draft. Stern was also accused of convincing Michael Jordan to retire in 1993 to take care of his gambling problem, concerned his marquee player would embarrass the league. In 2011, Stern has been accused of another conspiracy: causing the 2011 N.B.A. lockout. For several years now, the commissioner
has stated his desires to have N.B.A. teams overseas. For travel and other logistic reasons, owners have been reluctant to give in to Stern’s demands. However, now they may have to acquiesce. Within days of the lockout’s inception, N.B.A. players have been in talks to play in Asia and Europe. Deron Williams, who was under contract to make 15 million dollars with the New Jersey Nets, agreed to take a “pay cut” to play in Turkey for 5 million dollars. Kobe Bryant has had talks of playing in Turkey, Italy, and Hong Kong for “merely” 1 million dollars a month; Jordan will benefit from the lockout due to his involvement with other realms of entertainment such as participating in the World Series of Poker; and a few days ago Jordan Farmer signed with Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Farmer, who has Israeli connections, with cousins who live in Israel as well as an Israeli stepfather, will be an instant success. The two-time champion with the Lakers will go down as one of the greatest players to play in Israel the second he puts on a uniform. Although Farmer does not generally start in the N.B.A., he will be in an elite class of players in Israel, picking up fans who had never really heard of him before he got to the Middle East. He will be able to develop endorsements and sponsorships he would have never been able to make in the United States. The lockout will make relatively unknown players like Farmer international stars and once the lockout ends, owners will reconsider Stern’s idea of putting N.B.A. teams overseas. When it’s all said and done, 30 multimillionaire owners will decide whether or not to cave in to the demands of a nice Jewish boy from Teaneck, New Jersey.
