GLENN BECK AND THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS RALLY FOR ISRAEL
Glenn Beck at the Roman Amphitheatre in Caesarea, addressing thousands gathered at the first event of his Restoring Courage Tour through Israel. BY TZVI ALLEN FISHMAN Amidst chants of “Ani Yisraeli” (“I am an Israeli”), nearly three thousand Christian supporters for Israel, sitting alongside Israeli and American Jews, participated in the opening event of Glenn Beck’s controversial but much anticipated “Restoring Courage Rally” tour to Israel.
he choice of venue, set amongst the ruins of the old Roman Amphitheatre in Caesarea, was both aesthetically beautiful and served as a poignant reminder. Thousands of Israel supporters of different faiths found themselves squeezed into a semi-circular theater, enclosed on three sides—a symbolic microcosm perhaps for the hostile nations surrounding Israel to the

North, South, and East—their only exit to the Mediterranean Sea. Placed in their historical context, the Roman ruins remind us that many nations tried to crush and extinguish the children of Israel and failed. They are in ruins today, whilst we are having rallies in stadia we have built on top of those ruins. The evening was full of emotion, history, personal experiences, Bible reading, teach-
ing singing and music. Glenn Beck opened with his typical controversial words, “The solutions to the problems of our times are not within the reach of political leaders, rather divinity.” To a backdrop of video montages of Israel and Caesarea, Beck stated, “I’ve spent the last

REBELS OVERRUN GADDAFI COMPOUND Muammar Gaddafi’s whereabouts are unknown as rebels overrun his compound BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN Libyan rebels have seized Muammar Gaddafi’s compound in Tripoli, one of the final areas under the Libyan leader’s control. V footage showed fighters destroying statues and firing guns into the air in celebration inside the compound, which is several square kilometers in size. Rebel commanders targeted the buildings as they have served as a symbol of Gaddafi’s

It is not known if Gaddafi or any members of his family are in the Bab al-Aziziya compound and reports of gunfire still poured out of the area. Russian chessmaster Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, an associate of Gaddafi’s who spoke with
him by telephone, said Libya’s leader of 41 years told him he would not leave the country. “I am alive and healthy, I am in Tripoli and do not intend to leave Libya. Do not believe the lying reports by Western television companies,” Gaddafi reportedly told him by telephone on Tuesday. Heavily armed fighters had streamed into the capital on Tuesday morning in scores of pickup trucks to take part in the attack. In the west of the city, many of the districts are already solidly under the control of the rebels, who hours later breached a wall and quickly overran the compound. There were no obvious signs of resistance, despite reports that hundreds of Gaddafi loyalists had been tasked with guarding the compound. The rebels were shown destroying statues of Gaddafi and firing guns in the air in celebration. The Bab al-Aziziya complex is reported to be connected by underground tunnels to various key locations across the city. It houses military buildings, Gaddafi’s main residence, a library, and government offices. The whereabouts of Gaddafi and his family are not clear. The BBC’s Rana Jawad in Tripoli says there is a real sense that this is the end of Gaddafi’s rule, but the real celebrations will not begin until he and his family are found. Early on Tuesday the colonel’s son Saif

Meanwhile, members of the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) in Benghazi said they planned to fly to the capital on Wednesday to start work on forming a new government. NTC chairman Mustafa Abdul Jalil also said all Gaddafi aides would face justice and fair criminal trials.
“I will stand trial—for years I served as a minister in the Gaddafi government,” he told a news conference in Benghazi. He advised Libyans to be tolerant, saying they should “avoid taking matters into their own hands and... abide by court rulings.” The NTC leadership has expressed concern about revenge attacks by some of the mosaic of different groups which make up the rebel army.

The movement wants to establish a democratic system but stressed the need to be independent of foreign interference. Also on Tuesday, US Ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, made a surprise trip to the town of Jasem in southern Daraa province, residents said, his second visit since July to an area rocked by pro-democracy demonstrations. “He came by car this morning, although Jasem is swarming with secret police. He got out and spent a good of time walking round. He was careful not to be seen talking with people, apparently not cause them harm,” one resident told Reuters. Over 2,200 protesters have been killed by gunmen loyal to President Bashar al-Assad since pro-reform demonstrations erupted in March. Initially protesters did not call for Assad’s ouster, but as his crackdown escalated in intensity so did the strident tenor of opposition to his regime. ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

As a lead up to Beck's "Restoring Courage" rally on August 24th, Monday evening's event, which was carried on Beck’s new television network, a powerful film about Holocaust survivor Rudy Wolf’s visit to his childhood home in Germany was screened. Other speakers at the event noted the significance of holding a Holocaust-themed gathering at the former Jerusalem train station after world armies did not bomb the tracks to Auschwitz in World War II. ssuming an unyielding posture in regards to the recent escalation of terrorism aimed at Israel, Voight intoned, "The Palestinian radicals have only one prayer on their lips: To remove every Jew from Israel.” He received a standing ovation when he said, “We will not bend to terrorism in any way, shape, or form for the sake of peace.” “How have we come to a time when blowing up babies and cutting their throats are an acceptable means to a political goal?” Voight asked his audience, referring to the barbaric murders of five members of the Fogel family in the settlement of Itamar in March of this year. “I feel complete contempt for anyone not intelligent enough to see that the media propaganda portraying the

PRESIDENT PERES IN MOSQUE VISIT CALLS ON RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO DENOUNCE TERROR

EDITORIAL AND EXECUTIVE OFFICES
IMAM AND PRESIDENT JOIN IN CALL FOR PEACE Israel’s President Shimon Peres made a special Ramadan visit to a major mosque in the north of the country on Tuesday and called on religious leaders of all faiths to denounce terrorism. eres visited the Al Jazaar mosque in Acre, a mixed Jewish-Arab city north of Haifa. He was welcomed by Imam Samir Assi who has a history of working with religious leaders of other faiths, and who earlier this year,

“Spiritual leaders have an important role in the promotion of peace and the condemnation of terror. Faith and religion reject terror. We must all unite in our struggle for freedom and peace,” Peres said. "We have to unite our forces to put out fires, and we have to be emissaries who carry the message of peace," he said. The president’s visit came after a difficult four days in Israel following a series of terrorist attacks which killed nine Israelis on Aug. 18. Over the weekend, Hamas and its allies in Gaza fired over 100 missiles and rockets at Israeli cities in the south. The Al Jazaar Mosque, which was constructed more than two hundred years ago, is considered to be one of the most important in Israel. Imam Assi told Peres that Acre is a city which demonstrates that harmonious co-existence is possible. He praised the friendship, cooperation and mutual tolerance between Arab and Jewish residents. “In the name of Muslims, I would like to thank the honored President Peres for visiting this holy mosque,” Imam Assi said. “From here, I would like to utter a prayer together with you, who is known the world over for promoting peace, that peace will come to us and to the entire world.” Peres, who turned 88 earlier this month, is a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded for his

Throughout his career, Peres pushed for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Recent reports suggest that Peres has been in contact with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to try to encourage the leader to reenter peace talks with Israel. He recently told a group of Washingtonbased ambassadors and senior diplomats visiting Israel on a mission organized by The Israel Project that saving the life of a child, anywhere, is the greatest goal of a public servant.
EILAT TERRORISTS LINKED TO HAMAS, GLOBAL JIHAD The group responsible for last week's coordinated terrorist attacks in Southern Israel is an alliance of three groups, two operating under the aegis of Hamas, and one with ties to global jihadists, a new report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) finds. he Aug. 18 attack near Eilat, which killed eight people and wounded 30, was carried out by the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). Israel responded by bombing a house in the Gaza town of Rafah, killing five PRC terrorists, including Kamal al-Nairab, head of a PRC faction that collaborates with Hamas and was involved in the June 2006 kidnapping of Israeli Defense Force soldier Gilad Shalit. "Those who gave the order to murder our citizens, while hiding in Gaza, are no longer among the living," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gaza-based terror organizations then fired almost 160 rockets, with 120 landing in Israel through Monday. The PRC claimed responsibility for attacks on Beersheba and other cities in southern Israel. Although the group joined Hamas on Monday in accepting a ceasefire,
affiliated with global jihad, the ITIC report says. That organization participated in the Shalit abduction in collaboration with Hamas and has also been responsible for the killings of dozens of Palestinians in Gaza in recent years. In the wake of Israel's launching of Operation Cast Lead in December 2008, Hamas and the PRC stepped up efforts to have terrorists infiltrate into Israel through the Sinai to reduce the likelihood of Israeli retaliation. Army of Islam operatives were captured in 2009 trying to sneak into Israel through Gaza in order to detonate bombs and kidnap Israeli soldiers, the ITIC report says. In 2010, an IAF airstrike in Gaza foiled an Army of Islam plot to abduct Israelis vacationing in the Sinai. American counterterrorism officials are investigating whether a new al-Qaida-linked group based in the Sinai may have helped the PRC carry out Eilat attack. The officials told the Washington Times they are investigating whether Salafi-extremists in the Sinai who want to link themselves to al-Qaida may have been behind the attack.

Early reports saying they were hurt were erroneous. he synagogue is home to a Gur chassidic congregation. Worshipers heard a rocket alert while in the middle of the morning prayer service (Shacharit). They decided to remain in the building rather than running for cover. Seconds later, they heard a loud noise, and the prayer hall filled with white dust. A Grad rocket had hit the building and was lodged in the synagogue floor—but had not detonated. Worshipers noted that the attack took place shortly after regular prayer services had concluded. Had the rocket hit a few minutes earlier, it could have caused many casualties. Police and other security personnel rushed to the scene. They were forced to demolish much of the structure in order to safely defuse the rocket.

PM Netanyahu (right) has turned down U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s requests and will not apologize to Turkey for the IDF’s counterterrorist action. rorist Operation Cast Lead campaign in the BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has turned down U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s requests and will not apologize to Turkey for the IDF’s counterterrorist action that killed nine IHH terror activists in the flotilla clash a year ago, Army Radio reported last week. enior members of the Cabinet have strongly opposed the apology that Turkey has demanded and they said that if anyone should say he is sorry, it should be Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. His country has funded and encouraged the terror-linked IHH organization in its effort to engage the IDF in conflict on the high seas by trying to challenge Israel’s sovereignty over the coastal waters of Hamas-controlled Gaza. Likud Ministers Benny Begin and Moshe Ya’alon, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman of Yisrael Beiteinu, and Interior Minister Eli Yishai of Shas have said that Israel has nothing to apologize for. The Obama administration has been anxious to improve ties between Jerusalem and Ankara, which was friendly with Israel for two decades until the three-week counterter-

winter of 2008-2009. A United Nations report by the Palmer investigation committee is due to be published next week, but previously released reports stated that it determined Israel’s actions as legal but disproportionate. The report also is expected to partly blame Turkey for the confrontation, a charge that has caused Erdogan to work to suppress the report. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s refusal to apologize is bound to anger the Obama administration, but its foreign policy clout continues to be diminished. President Barack Obama so far has failed to keep the Palestinian Authority from moving ahead with its proposal to ask the United Nations to recognize it is an independent country, a move that would officially negate the moribund American-led diplomatic process. Washington also has failed to have any effect on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose army and secret police continue to brutalize the civilian uprising that began more than three months ago. His forces have murdered at least 2,000 people and arrested more than 20,000, many of them having “disappeared.” At the beginning of the uprising, Clinton called Assad a “reformer.”
WESTERN WALL AREA TO BE TURNED INTO ARAB HOUSING NEIGHBORHOOD; JEWISH PRESENCE IN JERUSALEM WILL BE “ERASED FROM HISTORY” BY ITAMAR MARCUS AND NAN JACQUES ZILBERDIK Official Palestinian Authority TV broadcast a documentary which stated that the PA plans to build an Arab residential area in place of the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem, “when they [Israelis] disappear from the picture, like a forgotten chapter in the pages of our city’s history.” he Western Wall is a remnant of the Temple Mount, which is Judaism’s holiest and most important prayer site. The PA TV documentary further rejected the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, referring to Jewish history as “their false history,” while the Jews’ praying at the Western Wall was called “sin and filth.”

Muslim Leader With Strong U.S. Ties Calls for Killing Zionists An Egyptian radical with strong ties to American Islamic organizations called for the murder of Zionists in response to the unintentional killing of Egyptian soldiers along Israel’s border. Salah Sultan’s comments, reported by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), took place at a Muslim Brotherhood–sponsored rally against the Jewish state. uring an August 19 rally outside Cairo’s Israeli embassy, Sultan told attendees that “any Egyptian meeting a Zionist on Egyptian soil is entitled to kill him, just like Israel killed the Camp David Accords,” MEMRI reported. Rally attendees chanted slogans like “Jihad, jihad … open the door to Jihad,” and “Give us weapons, give us gunpowder, and we will finish the Jews.” This wasn’t Sultan’s first time publicly inciting violence against Jews. He also was active with islamonline.net, a website linked to Muslim Brotherhood spiritual advisor Yusuf al-Qaradawi. During a question-andanswer session in September 2005, he spoke about the “role of Jews in sowing anxiety among Muslims.” Although Sultan is currently based out of Cairo, where he works as a shariah lecturer at Cairo University, he has extensive connections in the United States. He was a longtime member of the Fiqh Council of North America, serving as president and trustee from 1999 to 2004, as well as the former head of the Islamic American University. He also spent time in Columbus, Ohio, as scholar in residence at the Islamic Society of
D Barack Obama (left): the time had come for Bashar al-Assad (right) to “step aside.” U.S. President Barack Obama issued a written statement Thursday saying the time had come for Bashar al-Assad to “step aside.” The president released an executive order announcing “unprecedented sanctions” on Syria, in a bid to deepen the economic isolation of Assad’s government. Britain, France, Germany, and the European Union also urged Assad to step down. hortly after the White House statement was released, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the transition to democracy had begun in Syria and that it was time for Assad to “get out of the way.” Assad has been facing increasing international pressure because of his brutal crackdown on anti-government dissent. But Thursday marked the first time the U.S. had formally called for his resignation. The U.S. change of position on Syria comes on the same day the UN Security Council is to hear a report on the Syrian government’s tactics. UN human-rights investigators say the crackdown on dissent may amount to “crimes against humanity.” The UN investigation’s findings are in a 22-page report released by the office of UN human rights chief, Navi Pillay, ahead of her briefing to the Security Council. Pillay is expected to call for the Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court for alleged human rights violations. The report from her office cites “widespread” attacks against civilians that include the use of snipers, air power, and other military measures.
S
On Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Assad that he was alarmed at reports of excessive use of force by government security forces and continued widespread violations of human rights. Ban spoke by telephone with Assad, who said military and police operations had stopped. Activists said Syrian security forces detained hundreds of people Wednesday in the besieged port city of Latakia, where at least 35 people have been killed during the past week. A London-based Syrian rights group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that more than 700 troops raided homes in Latakia’s southern al-Raml district, arresting people on lists. Activists also said forces loyal to Assad killed nine people in the central city of Homs, including two protesters shot dead in front of a mosque after nightly Ramadan prayers. Latakia’s al-Raml area is home to a crowded Palestinian refugee camp where many low-income Syrians also live. UN officials say as many as 10,000 residents fled the neighborhood during the government’s fourday operation to crush dissent in the city. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency said Wednesday it has determined the whereabouts of about 2,000 of the displaced people and is providing them with aid.

Erdogan: Assad is Like Gaddafi Turkish Prime Minister compares Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s behavior toward protesters to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s behavior BY ELAD BENARI Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Wednesday, as the violent crackdown on protesters in Syria continued. e made our calls (to Gaddafi) but unfortunately we got no result,” Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan was quoted by The Associated Press as having said. “The same thing is happening with Syria at the moment.” Erdogan made the comments after Syrian government forces began Wednesday morning to withdraw from the port city of Latakia, leaving 34 dead and more wounded in their wake. Earlier in the week, troops rounded up some 10,000 Arabs in the al-Ramel neighborhood into a stadium, where they confiscated identity cards and mobile phones. It is estimated that as many as 1,790 civilians have died since protests calling for Assad’s ouster began in March.

iPhone and Cell Phone Theft in NY Skyrockets SCHUMER CALLS ON CELL PHONE CARRIERS TO USE AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE STOLEN PHONES UNUSABLE U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today asked major cell-phone carriers to utilize technology currently available that can permanently shut down stolen cell phones as a means to reduce the rapidly growing theft of iPhones and other smartphone devices. According to the New York Police Department, almost half of all property thefts in New York City are related to cell phones. hen cell phones are reported stolen, many American cell phone companies only deactivate the phone’s “SIM” card, which is the data storage component of the device. While deactivation of a SIM card does not allow for the device to be used with existing data and account information, SIM cards are easily removed and replaced, allowing stolen phones to be easily resold on the black market. Instead of relying on the deactivation of a SIM card, Schumer urged the major phone carriers in the United States to deactivate stolen phones based on a unique number assigned to individual devices, called an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, in order to help combat rising cell-phone theft. The technology is already effectively used in Europe. Schumer also urged the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to help individual carriers implement a similar system that maximizes both theft deterrence and network security. “The use of iPhones and smartphones is exploding, but unfortunately so are thefts of these expensive devices,” said Schumer. “Luckily, there is an ‘app’ for that: By using the unique ID number assigned to every device, cell-phone companies can shut down the ability to use a stolen iPhone or smartphone and put would-be thieves out of business. While cell phones have become a convenient way to communicate on the go, they are also a convenient target for thieves who know they can make a pretty penny selling them on the black market.” “I applaud Sen. Schumer for helping taking some of the incentive out of cell phone thefts, which all too often have been responsible for spikes in robbery and larceny in New York City. I look forward to working with him in this effort,” said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly. IMEI numbers, unlike SIM cards, are assigned exclusively to each cell phone and are not replicated. In the United Kingdom, carriers have the ability to disable handsets based on IMEIs, serial numbers, or other unique identifiers. This prevents criminals from swapping SIM cards to activate a stolen cell phone. Verizon already uses this on its own network in the United States. According to the NYPD, cell phone robberies in New York are being fueled by the fact that stolen phones, like the iPhone and Android phones, are easily resold on the black market because they use SIM card technology. The NYPD notes that for the first six months of 2011, 41% of all property crimes in New York City involved cell phones. There were 10,650 property crimes that included a cell phone in 2009; 10,746 in 2010; and for the first seven months of 2011, 6,608 property crimes in New York City included a cell phone. If phones continue to be stolen at this rate, there will be 11,328 thefts by the end of the year. The NYPD also reported earlier this year that there has been an 18% increase in grand larceny involving a cell phone between January and March 2011 on subways, over the same time period in
W
2010. In a recently released report by mobilesecurity startup Lookout, New York City ranked number two for the city with the greatest amount of cell phone theft or loss, behind only Miami, with 49% of New Yorkers reporting that they have had their phone stolen or lost. Cell-phone robbery can also mean assault: just last week, a 16-yearold boy was beaten up and robbed inside a train station in Brooklyn, and in March two Long Island teenagers were beaten and robbed of their phones. Schumer, in a letter to AT&T, T-Mobile,
______________________ Senator Schumer: “As these phones become increasingly popular we can help stem the tide of their theft by making it clear a stolen phone is a worthless phone to a criminal.” ______________________ and Nextel, called on the companies to begin using similar IMEI technology to help prevent cell-phone robberies and reduce the number of cell phones being sold on the black market. Currently, AT&T, the major carrier for iPhones, as well as T-Mobile and Nextel, do not use IMEI technology and instead deactivate SIM cards. Schumer also requested the United States Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission study the system in place in the United Kingdom, in which carriers are able to deactivate handsets based on serial numbers, and help carriers in the United States implement a similar system that maximizes both theft deterrence and network security. “As these phones become increasingly popular we can help stem the tide of their theft by making it clear a stolen phone is a worthless phone to a criminal,” continued Schumer.

WAR ON TERROR Terror Forces U.S. and Egypt to Scrap Joint Exercise BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU Last week’s terrorist attacks have forced Egypt and the United States to cancel annual military drills as a senior American official arrives in Cairo to try to calm tensions with Israel. he annual joint military exercises were canceled due to the “ongoing transitional events” in Egypt following the deaths of five Egyptian policemen and soldiers when Israel chased after the Al Qaedalinked terrorists who killed eight Israelis and wounded 30 others north of Eilat. The Bright Star army drills were to begin later this year. The U.S. State Department said that, “The decision was reached as part of our routine bilateral conversations. Egypt and the United States also agreed to commence formal planning in June 2012 for the next installment of exercise Bright Star in 2013.” The terrorists infiltrated from the Sinai, which is supposed to patrolled by Egypt, and at least one of the multi-pronged attacks was carried out under the noses of Egyptian soldiers sitting in a watchtower adjacent to the border fence along an Israeli highway. The deaths of the Egyptian soldiers fueled further anger against Israel among Egyptians, who stormed the Israeli embassy Saturday night and tore down and burned the Israeli flag. They succeeded in placing an Egyptian flag on the embassy building as Egyptian security forces looked on without intervening. The person who scaled the building to replace the flag was hailed as a hero. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman arrived in Cairo Sunday but denied that the Obama administration is interfering in Egypt’s internal affairs. He said American interests are limited to maintaining democracy.

Feltman is expected to try to ease tensions between Israel and Egypt following last week’s terrorist attacks. Cairo has asserted that Israel’s apology for the deaths of Egyptians forces is not enough, but it has not stated what it expects. "Egyptian blood is not cheap and the government will not accept that Egyptian blood gets shed for nothing," state news agency MENA quoted a cabinet statement as saying. The cabinet demanded that the regime expel Israel’s ambassador to Cairo amid other calls for cancelling the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Professor Moshe Maoz, an expert on Egypt feels that Egypt will realize that these moves are self-defeating. President Shimon Peres, during a condolence visit to families of two Israeli soldiers killed by terrorists last week, said, "The peace with Egypt is strategic. Both we and the Egyptians have a supreme interest in preventing terrorism from running amok. The Sinai must remain a center of tourism and peace.” ISRAELINATIONALNEWS.COM
Palestinian Terrorists Change Tactics as Israel’s Iron Dome Saves Lives TERRORISTS VIOLATE CEASEFIRE WITH NEW ATTACKS
Israel’s new Iron Dome Rocket Defense System. Palestinian terrorists based in Gaza are changing their tactics in attacking Israeli civilians in response to the success of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system in saving lives, defense analysts say. n a four-day period starting Aug. 18, Hamas and other terrorists in Gaza armed and financed by Iran fired over 100 rockets and missiles at Israeli cities in the south killing one person and injuring several more. This followed an unprovoked series of coordinated attack on buses and cars in southern Israel on Aug. 18 in which eight Israelis were killed and scores injured. Terrorists fired three more rockets at Israel's South on Monday evening (Aug. 22), violating a ceasefire reached the previous day. One rocket ignited a brush fire, but the latest projectiles caused no injuries. A statement from the Israel Defense Forces spokesman said: “On Sunday (August 21), over 20 rockets were launched at Israel, one hitting a school in Beersheba. The Iron Dome system successfully intercepted around 10 of these rockets.” "We've been preparing our forces, even before the rocket attacks began," said Lt. Col. Ben Boucher. "Two batteries have been working continuously and intensively … With every successful interception, we know we prevented injuries. That is an adrenaline rush for everyone here." "We know that the protection cannot be absolute," Lt. Col. Ben Boucher continued. "This is a sad reality, though we are focused and determined to continue on. We have everything we need to sustain operational readiness in terms of personnel, defenses and munitions." Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel and its Charter calls for supporters to murder Jews and Israelis wherever possible. In April, Hamas signed a cooperation agreement with the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas. Currently, Israel has two Iron Dome batteries operational, one protecting the city of Ashkelon and the other defending the citizens of Beersheba, home to almost 200,000 people. The Israeli Defense Ministry and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which
I
manufactures the system, hope to deliver a third battery in September, with a fourth scheduled for delivery within the next six months. Two more batteries are scheduled for delivery by the end of 2012, bringing the total number of operational Iron Dome systems to six. According to the Haaretz newspaper, Palestinian launch teams realized that the intercept systems deployed in the past two weeks around Ashkelon and Beersheba were successfully protecting the residents of those two cities.
______________________ We know that the protection cannot be absolute. This is a sad reality, though we are focused and determined to continue on. We have everything we need to sustain operational readiness in terms of personnel, defenses and munitions.” ______________________ In response, they began targeting the cities of Ashdod and Ofakim, which are not covered by the defense system. And when they did aim at Beersheba, they fired volleys of many rockets almost simultaneously to get through the system. Iron Dome intercepted five rockets, but one penetrated, exploding in a residential area and killing a civilian. The victim was 38-year-old Yossi Shoshan, who was on his way to meet his wife, who is nine months pregnant, after hearing air raid sirens and becoming concerned for her safety. Brig. Gen. Doron Gavish, commander of the Israel Air Force’s Air Defense Corps, said: "This is the first system of its kind anywhere in the world; it is in its first operational test; and we've already intercepted a large number of rockets targeting Israeli communities, saving many civilian lives."

COMPANY OF U.S. MARINES COMES TO ISRAEL FOR MONTH OF INTENSIVE TRAINING WITH IDF

U.S. marines in Israeli Urban Warfare Training Center. HM1 Raymond Price BY ROTEM ELIAV The narrow streets and tall cement buildings of the world-renowned IDF Urban Warfare Training Center echoed with shouts in flawless English as U.S. Marines delve into another close-quarters-battle drill. s part of the ongoing cooperation between the Israeli Defense Forces and the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Europe, a company of U.S. Marines came to Israel for a month of intensive training at IDF facilities and alongside IDF soldiers. Dividing their time between the Adam Base in central Israel and the Tze’elim Base in the south, the soldiers trained in urban and cautious warfare, reconnaissance, and at various shooting ranges. As they embark on a training exercise at the UWTC, Platoon Sgt. Robert Hattenbach explains, “We’ve never been to a mock town like that of the IDF.” He mentions the facility’s size and unique structure and continues “it’s important for our soldiers to train in different sites, preparing them for anything.” The soldiers were thrilled to train at the city as well, raving about its realistic feel. A smoke grenade hits the floor, rapidly secreting thick smoke of a vibrant color used for camouflage against the lurking enemy. Yelling out commands, M4s ready, they sneak from building to building, clearing out every room and securing their objective. The success of the operation is determined by the Captain, and the “enemy” is a squad of the Marines platoon, hiding inside each multiple story building waiting for the other squads to find them. “By training here,” Hospital Corpsman
A
elaborates, “we can better combat terrorism at any area and field.” He continues, “coming to Israel has been an inspirational trip, it’s beautiful to see how Israel has managed to preserve so many years of history, culture, and tradition.” “This trip was a serious wake-up call,” says Sgt. Hattenbach. “The instructors at the Adam Base took the time to explain to us what’s been going on in Israel and we realized that Israeli people are just like us. We now better understand what Israel really is and when we go back to the U.S. we can tell people that.” During earlier exercises that involved IDF troops, the U.S. Marines were impressed by their work. “The tactics used by the snipers and Special Forces are much more efficient,” explains Cpl. Lombard. “They also focus more on the safety of each individual soldier rather than the mission.” The company is one of the only young Marine units; all at around 19 years old, they are close in age to the Israeli soldiers and were able to from close bonds. However, unlike IDF soldiers, the Marines volunteer to enlist. “We have a responsibility for our country,” they agree. “You can’t just sit at home hearing of everything going on in the world and remain idle.” This particular company, the Marine Corps Fast Team Security Forces, enlisted for five years, three of which they spend deployed to Europe or Africa and after further infantry training are sent to the battlefronts at either Iraq or Afghanistan. Concluding their training in Israel, the company went for a well-deserved rest at the Dead Sea. REPORT BY IDF NEWS SERVICE, WWW.IDF.IL

t. Col. Rav Yitzchak Ben-Yosef, Rabbi of the Ground Forces Command, hinted in a report on the Hebrew side of the IDF website that the Rabbinate is stocking up on copies of Tanach, the Bible, in preparation for September. “As [the former] Rabbi for Judea and Samaria I remember that we were often short of copies,” he told the website’s Daniela Bokor. “In Operation Defensive Shield we had to carry in many books under fire, sometimes at risk to life. In the course of the Cast Lead Operation, synagogues were set up around Tze’elim for the soldiers’ benefit. That was relatively small; now we understand that it could be bigger than that and we must prepare for every scenario.” “We are preparing for September, too,” he said, but added: “We prepare for every scenario, not necessarily for next month. We always maintain readiness.” The IDF Rabbinate has long maintained that it has an educational role, because soldiers’ motivation for defending Israel is increased by studying the Divine source for the Jewish rights to the land as well as rereading G-d’s words of encouragement in the Bible to those fighting for the safety of the Jewish people and Israel. There are those who would like to see its role limited to halachic functions, such as kosher kitchens and holiday preparation, but there is no

Republican Presidential Contenders Speak Out on Israel, Iran, China
JINSA CALLS ON U.S. GOV’T TO DEMAND EGYPT SECURE SINAI The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) called upon the White House on Monday to communicate its expectation that Egypt's ruling Supreme Military Council will act to secure the Sinai border with Israel and act to curb attacks on the pipeline supplying Israel and Jordan with natural gas. INSA Executive Director Tom Neumann said, "Unless the Egyptian government makes clear its commitment to enforcing the security of the Sinai border, the relationship between Israel and Egypt will continue to unravel. As the provider of $1.3 billion annually to the Egyptian military, the U.S. government is well positioned to convey the seriousness with which it views the deterioration of Egypt's border security responsibilities." "One casualty of the so-called Arab Spring has clearly been Sinai security. Thursday's terror attack coupled with a series of attacks on the natural gas pipeline, a critical energy supply for Israel and Jordan leaves no doubt that the Israeli security establishment will have to view Egypt in a new light," Neumann said. "Terror attacks like the one yesterday were much more difficult to carry out prior to President Mubarak's toppling." The August 18 Palestinian terrorist attacks claimed nearly 40 Israeli casualties, including eight dead. Seven of the terrorists, members of the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), were killed in the IDF counterattack. The PRC is affiliated with Hamas, itself a terror organization. As a consequence, Israeli jets successfully struck PRC targets in Hamas-ruled Gaza. Further upsetting Israeli-Egyptian rela-

It is believed that the terrorists departed Gaza via Egypt and then crossed into Israel via the border near the southern city of Eilat. They numbered as many as 20 and operated in several small groups hitting different targets in southern Israel nearly simultaneously. The targets included two civilian buses and several cars. IDF troops responding to the attacks were struck by IEDs placed along their anticipated travel routes. "The size and complexity of the operation clearly points to a decline in Egyptian counter-terror activities and the ongoing freedom of action enjoyed by Hamas and the PRC in Gaza," Neumann said.

In U.S. presidential politics, the economy and jobs are expected to dominate next year’s election. But many of the Republicans running for their party’s presidential nomination have some strong views on foreign policy and they are making them known as the campaign rolls on. he latest entrant into the presidential race is Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has served as governor for more than 10 years. But like most of his rivals for the Republican Party nomination, he has little experience in foreign policy. During a recent visit to the early presidential contest state of Iowa, Perry left little doubt that he has strong views on U.S. relations with Israel and on national security in general. “We are going to stand with our friends. Israel is not going to have to worry if I am the president of the United States where we are going to be. We are going to be standing with our friends. And if you are our enemy we are not going to just give you some lip service. If you try to hurt the United States, we will come defeat you,” said Perry. The war in Afghanistan also is drawing attention from the candidates, especially during debates. Republicans have long supported the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, but even the Republican frontrunner, former

That has to happen,” said Romney. Iran is a favorite target of several of the Republican contenders, who say it remains the number-one threat to Israel and a major security concern for the United States. The only one who strays away from this line of attack is Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Paul says he would not impose sanctions on Iran even if it developed nuclear weapons, and he is also the only contender in the crowded Republican field who opposes the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “I say a policy of peace is free trade, stay out of their internal business, do not get involved in these wars, and just bring our troops home!” said Paul.

He sees it exactly the way that Barack Obama sees it,” said Santorum. Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman is one of the few Republican candidates with extensive foreign policy experience. Earlier this year, Huntsman completed a tour as President Obama’s ambassador to China and he is fluent in Mandarin. He previously served as U.S. ambassador to Singapore under President George H. W. Bush in 1992. Huntsman noted his experience during a recent debate. “As far as you can see into the 21st century, we are going to have to deal with the Chinese. We better get it right. I understand this relationship. I have been at it for 30 years. I think it would be a great thing to have a president of the United States who knew something about China,” said Huntsman. Political analysts say that while the campaign likely will be dominated by the domestic economy, events overseas, particularly unexpected ones, could have an impact on next year’s election. Stuart Rothenberg said on VOA’s Encounter program, “It is all about results. What is going to happen on the ground between now and the next election in Afghanistan and in Iraq? Are we going to have stable environments? Are we going to have talk about terrorists being allowed to gather and train?” Public-opinion polls show Americans generally have more confidence in President Obama’s ability to handle foreign policy issues than the domestic economy, another reason why the Republican candidates are likely to focus their lines of attack on jobs and other domestic issues.

BY GEDALIAH BORVICK While we have been witnessing the “Arab Spring” wave of revolutions in over a dozen Arab countries, Israel has been experiencing a “Summer of Discontent.” Starting with the Cottage Cheese Revolution, reflecting Israelis’ frustration with rising food prices, continuing with the doctors’ strike which has dragged on for months, and now the tent cities sprouting up across the country to demonstrate cost-of-living issues and particularly the lack of affordable housing, the common man is standing up to protest the sense of inequitable wealth distribution. ince 2004, Israel has been one of the world’s strongest economies; during this period, its average annual economic growth rate has been 4.5% and unemployment has declined from 11% to around 6%. But public displeasure with the rising cost of living and lagging salaries is mounting. Although many of the protestors’ demands are too radical to implement, Netanyahu has created a social-change task force to meet with the protestors and recommend concrete solutions to their grievances. Let’s focus on Netanyahu’s response to the housing crisis. At the end of July, Prime Minister Netanyahu presented a revolutionary program that had been two years in the making, as he recognized prices were too high— housing prices have risen by 40% since 2007—even before this summer’s populist uprising. Netanyahu explained that soaring prices stemmed from a shortage of new housing units. This lack of new development is due to the Israel Land Authority’s (ILA or Minhal) extremely slow pace of selling government land for development, which was deliberately done to create strong demand, thus raising land sale prices and increasing the country’s revenue. Summarizing his plan to repair this problem, Netanyahu said that the correct government approach should be to combine “the twin pursuits of a free market and social justice.” By significantly reducing
S
state revenues from the land sales to the tune of hundreds of millions of shekels, the greater good of societal harmony can be achieved. Netanyahu’s program to solve the housing market crisis includes the following initiatives: • Reforming the ILA to remove restrictions on residential planning and on sales of land for residential construction • A 50% discount in land prices for constructing apartments when contractors compete to offer lowest prices to buyers, with preference given to young couples and recently discharged soldiers • Construction of apartments for long-term rental, with steep land discounts for contractors offering lowest rental prices • Construction of 10,000 new student dormitory units, with a secondary benefit of boosting residential supply by vacating thousands of city center apartments previously used by students • Immediate 50% rail and bus discount for university and college students, to encourage living outside city centers • Limiting exemptions on municipal taxes (“arnona” or what is commonly called “real estate taxes” in the US) for the over 140,000 vacant apartments and offices across the country, as an inducement to put these properties on the market for either sale or rent Netanyahu expects these reforms to result in 50,000 new housing units being put on the market within 1.5 years. Now that the Knesset has passed this plan, let’s hope that the savings get passed on to the proper recipients and that the country finally rids itself of the red tape which has historically limited residential construction. I believe that these new laws will not initially affect apartment pricing for overseas buyers but, if properly implemented, will create an influx of residential units which should help curb the escalating housing price trend. “My Israel Home” is a real estate agency focused on helping people from abroad buy homes in Israel.

Palestinian Developer al-Masri Reviewing Jerusalem’s Nof Zion
REAL ESTATE
TSHUVA HALTS INTEREST PAYMENTS TO CREDITORS The move came after Delek Real Estate’s bondholders rejected a 21-day delay in payment on the principal BY ADI BEN-ISRAEL Delek Real Estate Ltd. (TASE: DLKR), controlled by Yitzhak Tshuva, notified the TASE today that it has halted interest payments to all its creditors. The move came after the company’s bondholders rejected a 21-day postponement of a payment on the principal. elek Real Estate stated, “A majority (almost 60%) of the bondholders who participated in the meeting supported a brief technical postponement of the repayment date to the bondholders (Series 25 Bond). Nonetheless, due to a minority of bondholders, the necessary 75% majority needed to approve the brief three-week technical postponement on the principal payment, the company’s board of directors authorized the company’s management to

(TASE: DIGL) and its main asset, Nof Zion, the east Jerusalem project, which overlooks the Old City. On Sunday, Levy cancelled the deal. Despite Digal’s notice to the TASE about the cancellation, sources close to the company believe that Levy and Bermeister have not given up taking over the troubled company, and might acquire it by buying Digal’s bonds from Bank Leumi (TASE: LUMI). The company owes NIS 160 million, half of it to the bank, which has a lien on the company’s assets. Bank Leumi said, “The bank will enter into new negotiations with the company, and it will review its

available options to reach a settlement with the company’s owners.” Levy and Bermeister planned to acquire Digal’s assets, including Nof Zion and Kilas Investment Corporation, for NIS 123 million. Digal’s bondholders would receive NIS 36 million—a 60% write-off on the NIS 60 million owed them. Palestinian developer Bashar al-Masri also offered Digal’s bondholders 60 agorot on the shekel for their bonds. Heavy pressure by the national-religious camp on Bank Leumi resulted in an ideological and political fight the led the bondholders to opt for Levy and Bermeister’s offer instead. Digal chairman Yehuda Levy said yesterday, “I reject the contention that the buyers received incorrect presentations. A new buyer will come. I heard from some investors that there are parties interested in the company. We’re talking about good assets; there is no dispute about that.” The TASE suspended trading in Digal’s share because it has not published financial reports this year.

On August 14, Delek Real Estate announced that Tshuva will sell his 55% controlling interest in the company to a US private equity fund, which will inject NIS 500 million into the company. In today’s announcement, Delek Real Estate said that the board instructed management to obtain clearer updates on the progress of these contacts and to publish an immediate report to investors. The announcement is apparently an attempt to strengthen the company’s position in talks with the bondholders. Delek Real Estate’s share price rose 1.5% on Wednesday morning to NIS 0.20, giving a market cap of NIS 76 million. PUBLISHED BY GLOBES, ISRAEL BUSINESS NEWS - WWW.GLOBES-ONLINE.COM

Zawahiri: Co-opting Syria’s Revolution Al-Qaeda’s new senior leader is trying to co-opt Syria’s revolution with a message of anti-Americanism and hate, in a new video translation recently released to jihadi forums. eace be upon you while you teach the rebellious, treacherous, traitorous system severe lessons on how to resist him, his corruption and treachery, his compliance in favor of the global hegemony and his desertion of Golan,” Ayman alZawahiri says in his attack on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. “Peace be upon you, O champions and heroes! Indeed you have presented a great example, teaching your Arab and Islamic Ummah lessons about sacrifice, resilience, and fighting injustice.” In the clip, “The Glory of the East Begins With Damascus,” Zawahiri paints America as responsible for pulling the strings of Syria’s brutal regime. His conspiracy theory alleges America wants to manipulate the region for its own interests and to protect Israel from the wrath of the revolution. Notably, Zawahiri tries to blend traditional al-Qaeda ideas with Syrian resistance to the regime. This means praising the martyrs in Islamist strongholds like Homs and Hama, showing local bravery as a rejection of American intervention in the Middle East, and manipulating popular grievances against Israel to strike out against the United States. The propaganda includes reciting a long line of salutes and poetry about Syria’s famous warriors and conquerors, and also incorporating modern martyrs into the list. “Peace be upon you, O courageous and

fierce, free and noble, in Daraa, Jisr ashShugur, Ma’arrat al-Numan, Baniyas, Homs, and Hama, the land of heroism and martyrdom,” Zawahiri said, recognizing places where Syrians had staged protests. Most important was the mention of Hama, an Islamist stronghold that witnessed repression of modern Islamist protests and the brutal crushing of a Muslim Brotherhood revolution in February 1982. “Whenever a martyr falls from amongst you, hundreds of others present themselves for martyrdom, and whenever someone is imprisoned, hun-
dreds of others offer themselves, ready to sacrifice,” Zawahiri said in praise of the revolution’s fallen. Al-Qaeda has traditionally rejected the Muslim Brotherhood’s approach of removing un-Islamic regimes through civil activity and elections, so the salute to the MB’s martyrs may show a warming of ties toward either the Islamist groups or protesters in general. Such a warming would be consistent with Zawahiri’s first statement as al-Qaeda’s leader, where he pledged, “we offer our hands and open our hearts to cooperate with
everyone working on supporting Islam in the Islamic groups and organizations and outside of them”—even those that are not Jihadist groups. Staples of al-Qaeda’s ideology were also part of Zawahiri’s exhortation to Syrian protesters. “Say to him [Assad]: In fact it is you who is the leader of the gang of criminals… the partner of America in the war against Islam, which they call the ‘war on terror,’ and the guardian of the Israeli borders,” Zawahiri stated, reinforcing the American “war on Islam” narrative.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL
On “Christian Love” and Its Side-Effects Seeing some of the knee-jerk reactions caused by one of my colleagues in last week’s editorial, which dared to offer a dissenting opinion among a Jewish community that seems to have cast its lot with media personality Glenn Beck with the sort of “na’aseh v’nishma”* attitude normally reserved for the relationship between man and his Creator, it is with a certain degree of trepidation that I approach the subject myself. But given the instantaneous and frequently dogmatic nature of many of those responses, it seems that our readers may throw the baby out with the bathwater, as it were, ignoring certain aspects of my colleague’s writing that bear serious consideration, whether or not one shares his conclusions. am reminded of a story, attributed to British novelist Israel Zangwill. It is said that Zangwill was once approached by non-Jew who told him that he found Jews to be suspicious of gentiles, clannish, and rude. The author is said to have replied, "Yes. Two thousand years of Christian Love have made us very nervous." When Beck’s supporters jump on anyone who dares to question the pro-evangelical line that we apparently all agreed to at some point (sorry, we never got the memo), it’s enough to make me fear that rational debate is no longer being tolerated in our community. Moreover, it suggests a woeful ignorance of history on the part of many fervent Zionists. And we all know what they say about those who cannot remember the past. For better or for worse, Glenn Beck is a showman. It’s what he does. There’s nothing inherently negative about that, but he makes his livelihood by entertaining audiences around the world. There is no doubt in my mind that he, and all those joining him on the Restoring Courage tour, at least one some level, revel in the limelight. Again, there’s no shame in it. Even this writer won’t deny feeling a twinge of pride in seeing his own work disseminated online and in print, and hearing it inspire discussion and lively debate. Nonetheless, it’s important to bear these things in mind when Beck and his ilk take the stage and spout their rhetoric (albeit comforting, pro-Israel rhetoric). I’ve been approached by several readers this week who have reassured me that Christians who support Israel do so not to bring about the eschatological vision that has been a cornerstone of Christian theology for centuries, but out of a genuine love of the Jewish people. That’s nice, but I’d rather hear it from them. Beck has spoken this week of accepting and loving the Jewish people “as they are.” That’s certainly a step in the right direction. Actually, there is a litmus test by which any of us can easily determine whether an individual or institution’s “Christian love” for Israel is genuine and likely to endure, or whether it’s a thinlyveiled form of contempt, the kind of “love” that we Jews are better off without. Classical Christian doctrine is founded upon something commonly referred to as “Replacement Theology.” That is, the idea that G-d chose the Jews, gave them the Torah, but after a while got fed up with their misbehavior, sent Jesus to fix things, forsook the Jews and chose the Christians. The Jews continue to exist only to serve as a protected “witness people,” to ultimately testify to the truth of Christianity with the “Second Coming” (the Christian doctrine that maintains that Jesus is coming back, invented when he died without fulfilling the prophetic criteria that would validate the messianic claims attributed to him). In recent times, however, a new concept has gained popularity among some Christian scholars—something called “Dual Covenant” theory. To put it briefly, dual covenant theorists maintain that while the one they follow established a “new covenant” with those who would eventually become known as Christians, the Abrahamic-Mosaic covenant between G-d and the Jews remains in effect. In other words, there’s no need to coerce Jews to convert, because Jews who follow Torah are already obeying G-d’s will. Painfully obvious to the observant Jew,

EDITOR’S NOTE: Last week’s editorial on Glenn Beck has generated quite a bit of controversy, and quite a few responses from our readers. Many of them are baseless ad hominem attacks, and not worth mentioning here. Other responses, both for and against, were somewhat more thoughtful in their content. Here are a couple of our favorites.
Editor: hile I agree with you that the Israelis should respect and revere the learned Rabbis, I totally disagree with your stance concerning Glenn Beck. Your historical examples have nothing to do with this man and his
W _____________________ “We Jews of course don’t concur with those aspects of Christianity that are drawn from outside the Hebraic tradition [...] but this is hardly an issue. Maimonides clearly states that ‘the righteous of all nations have a share in the World to Come.’” _____________________ but a revolutionary new way of thinking for our Christian neighbors. We Jews of course don’t concur with those aspects of Christianity that are drawn from outside the Hebraic tradition whence it originated. But since we also don’t believe Jewishness is a pre-requisite to having a relationship with G-d, this is hardly an issue. Maimonides clearly states that “the righteous of all nations have a share in the World to Come.” And the psalmist, King David himself, wrote “the L-rd is near to all who call upon Him in truth.” Notice how he didn’t specify Jews. One striking example of dual covenant theory put into practice would be the family of Cornelia ten Boom, righteous gentiles who saved hundreds of lives during the Holocaust. While rescuing Jews from the Nazis, not only did the ten Booms (themselves devout Christians) not preach Christianity to them, but, taking the Bible seriously when it calls the Israelites G-d’s treasured nation, learned the Jewish dietary laws, and the laws of Shabbat, and helped the Jews under their aegis to observe them. Now that is true Christian love. That, my friends, is blessing the children of Abraham. And if you hold by Sefer Bereishis (even if you call it “The Book of Genesis”) anyone who does that is blessed by G-d Himself. And it goes without saying that such upright deeds deserve our blessing, and our respect. Interestingly enough, one of the evangelists on tour with Beck, journalist Mike Evans (evidently a Jew by birth), is chairman of the ten Boom Fellowship. It has been brought to my attention that the Jewish Voice, in addition to its original target audience, has also attracted a small but growing Christian readership. Some of them seem have confused us with a missionary organization of the same name, but others appreciate our coverage of defense, counter-terrorism and Israeli news, free from the anti-Semitic and anti-American bias prevalent in so many larger publications. I would like to be the first to welcome our new readers. We at the Jewish Voice thank you for your interest, and we appreciate your participation in the ongoing discussion that the Jewish Voice is meant to inspire. But we are the Jewish Voice, not the JudeoChristian Voice. We will not compromise our editorial—or theological—views, and we will not yield. Think you can handle that? If so, then by all means stay with us.

Where’s the New King David Assad Knows What He's Doing Against Terrorist Goliath? BY GARY C. GAMBILL
For all of their disagreement over particulars, Western pundits share a nearly unanimous consensus that Syrian President Bashar Assad has bungled his response to the current uprising. The Syrian regime is "digging its own grave," the International Crisis Group concluded in a report last month. One prominent analyst went so far as to assert that the president "is losing his marbles." The Obama administration's recent call for Assad to resign, while long overdue, is largely premised on such boat-without-apaddle views of the Syrian leader.
BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU The government of Israel, led by an urban elite with its buried head in the sand of Tel Aviv’s coast, lacks the faith of King David, who was not afraid of the Biblical terrorist Goliath. The “men of Israel” were afraid of Goliath and “when they saw the man, they fled from him and were very afraid (Samuel I: 17:24), but David in effect said, "Who the heck is he” or, to be precise, “Who is the uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living of G-d.” David did not set up a tent to protest King Saul’s lack of faith in G-d to help Him defeat Goliath, nor did he embark on a peace process. He did not attack Goliath's soldiers, all of whom had plenty of replacements, waiting by, somewhat early as Mohammed's promises came some 1500 years later, in case they were to meet their fate of dying for the sake of an after-life destiny with 72 virgins. Five stones and a slingshot against the vain and conceited Goliath finished him off, and David later led the People of Israel to fulfilling G-d's promise of settling in Greater Israel, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. Not so today. After 18 years of trying to appease terror with “peace talks,” the Israelite elite establishment is worried only
_____________________ “Have no fear. Another David will appear and may G-d send him to us speedily and in our days.” _____________________ about defending metropolitan Tel Aviv, where they hide out in their million-dollar villas. The ruling elite, who represent mainly the billionaire oligarchs who own most of the country, figures the problem is that we have not appeased and surrendered enough. How does Defense Minister Ehud Barak order the IDF to fight Hamas, Al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad and all of their comrades when they attack southern Israel? After almost every attack by terrorists, the IDF issues a statement, like the one following the attacks north of Eilat and the missile attacks on Be’er Sheva: "The IAF aircraft targeted two terror tunnels and a weapons storage facility in the southern Gaza Strip… The terror tunnel was intended for the infiltration of terrorists into
Israeli territory and for executing terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers…. The IDF will not tolerate any malicious attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.” Can anyone explain why the same terrorist tunnels are left untouched until a missile explodes in a day care center or synagogue, or blows up a bus? Can anyone explain exactly whom the government and military are convincing when they say that Israel “will not tolerate any malicious attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers”? They certainly are not convincing the terrorists. What do they care? They want to die anyway but only with the accompaniment of a few murdered Jews. The Israel leadership is afraid. It is afraid of “social justice” protesters in the elite’s holy Tel Aviv. It is afraid of religious Jews who might actually help inject a bit of faith into the leadership. It is afraid the stock market might collapse. It is afraid, of course, of the mainstream media. Did anyone notice that the so-called Zionist Haaretz newspaper, in its initial report of firing on the Egged bus in Thursday near the Egyptian border, seriously reported that it was not known if terrorists were behind the shooting? The atmosphere of fear the permeated Israel under King Saul and hypnotized the People of Israel in the same faithless atmosphere that hovers like a dark cloud over today’s leadership in Israel – and in the Diaspora – today. They are afraid to deal the fatal blow that King Saul failed to deliver to Amalek. They are afraid to take on today’s Goliath, cowardly terrorists who hide behind masks, Islam and drug trafficking. But have no fear. Another David will appear and may G-d send him to us speedily and in our days. The author is a former reporter and senior copy editor for American and Canadian newspapers and currently is a leading journalist with Israel National News, as well as contributing to the Jerusalem Post and various American Jewish newspapers.
n fact, Assad's strategy and tactics have proven astonishingly effective. By any objective measure of political vulnerability, Assad should have been among the first casualties of the Arab Spring. That he's held on this long is no small achievement. Unflattering portrayals of Assad's decision making are invariably premised on the assumption that some combination of reform and restraint on his part could have defused popular mobilization after the outbreak of protests in March. However, given his Alawite-dominated regime's unusually thin claim (even by Middle Eastern standards) to represent the will of the people and the infectious wave of popular revolt spreading across the surrounding Arab world, allowing his predominantly Sunni subjects to assemble and express themselves without consequence would have doomed the regime (or doomed Assad by precipitating a hard-liner coup). The Syrian president recognized very early on that brute force (tempered by largely cosmetic "reforms") would have to be the mainstay of his survival strategy, and he has employed it with great acumen. Contrary to formulaic Western media characterizations, government violence against protestors has hardly been "indiscriminate." Most of the deaths have been the result not of panicked security personnel firing blindly into crowds of people, but of what the UN recently called an "apparent shoot-to-kill" policy. Regime snipers carefully selected their targets on the basis of specific criteria (filming demonstrations with cell phones, using megaphones, carrying banners, etc) designed to incapacitate mid-level organizers. It took nearly three months for the death toll in Syria to surpass the number of people murdered by Egypt's government in just 18 days—an extraordinarily large bang for the bullet. To be sure, security forces have opened fire on crowds—particularly in predominantly Sunni areas close to Syria's porous borders with Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon— but these have mostly been targeted massacres. Lacking the ability to suppress all protests at all times, the regime has been selective as to when and where it strikes. In June, for example, Assad allowed the city of Hama to slip from his control, only to storm it with tanks last month. The fact the protests have not yet snowballed into a nationwide mass uprising (Syria's two largest cities, Aleppo and Damascus have experienced

This doesn't mean Assad can "win" in the sense implicit in most outside commentary. Bloodletting cannot restore the status quo ante in Syria. It only takes a small minority of highly committed people to ensure that protests and killings continue as Assad remains in power. This can only spell the end of his regime in the long-term, pariah status a few notches above North Korea in the medium term, and the looming threat of civil war in the short term. Assad likely recognizes this (the assumption that he is somehow ignorant of political realities apparent to outside observers is another glaring absurdity of conventional wisdom in the West), but that doesn't mean the game is over. At this stage, maintaining Alawite solidarity is his primary goal, not subduing the masses. So long as the security apparatus remains loyal, he can be overthrown only through a long and bloody civil war that may prove unpalatable to regional and international governments. Even if the regime collapses, it's quite possible that Assad and his security barons will regroup in the coastal mountain enclaves of their ancestors (offering physical protection and access to Iranian resupply by sea) and set up a de facto Alawite micro-state. Although the Syrian president's predicament is unquestionably dire, it's a good bet he knows what he's doing. Gary C. Gambill, general editor of the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum, has published widely on Lebanese and Syrian affairs.

Is the U.S. Willing to Fight Against Islamic Terrorism No Matter How Long, No Matter How Costly in Blood and Treasure? ______________________ “The war that began on 9/11 with the Islamist terrorist world is now ten years old, with no end in sight.” ______________________
BY ED KOCH In his address to Congress after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said it was “a date which will live in infamy.” NineEleven is likewise a date that will live in infamy. The war with Japan lasted almost four years. The war that began on 9/11 with the Islamist terrorist world is now ten years old, with no end in sight. slamist terrorism now exists in 62 Muslim countries and is supported by millions of fanatics. That campaign of terror is also supported by homegrown Islamist terrorists in the U.S. and European countries, and we have seen major acts of homegrown terrorism in the U.S., Great Britain, and Spain, by those born and raised in western countries. Those who suffer most from Islamist terrorism are Muslims, sometimes Sunni and other times Shiite. Those two branches of Islam have been engaged in a civil war for centuries. Muslims have been killed by the tens of thousands in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, etc., by other Muslims in their ongoing religious civil war. Muslim citizens in western countries suffer unfairly from being viewed by many fellow citizens as a potential fifth column. Do we of western civilization have the intestinal fortitude to keep fighting generation after generation to preserve our values and our liberties? Or will we ultimately, in effect, surrender?
I
Our country’s recent foreign policy has not been encouraging. In Afghanistan, we have attempted to engage the Islamist terrorists including the Taliban by supporting the Karzai administration’s efforts to bring the Taliban into the government. The Taliban, which formerly ruled that country, gave Osama bin Laden a place of refuge when the conspiracy of 9/11 was plotted and executed. That conspiracy to murder caused catastrophes in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, resulting in the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent people. If the Taliban agrees to forgo violence, does anyone believe they would keep such a pledge? In Egypt, the opponents and successors in government to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, an authoritarian leader but longtime friend of the U.S., are overwhelmingly Islamists. When the so-called “Arab Spring” uprising spread to Egypt, we quick-

ly dropped our support of President Mubarak, naively forgetting that his opponents are not friends of this country and want to end Egypt’s peace with Israel. The New York Times of August 21 reported: “By removing Mr. Mubarak’s authoritarian but dependably loyal government, the revolution has stripped away a bulwark of Israel’s position in the region, unleashing the Egyptian public’s pent-up anger at Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians at a time when a transitional government is scrambling to maintain its own legitimacy in the streets.” We will soon see if the Libyan rebels who appear to have toppled Muammar elGaddafi—he should have been assassinated by our special forces long ago—will be any different than their oppressor. I do not mean to suggest that we should not support popular uprisings. My point is that we must judge each situation on its merits and not immediately conclude that those who take to the streets in the Arab World are like those who took to the streets to fight the Soviet Communist governments in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, and elsewhere. In the case of Syria, the popular uprising is most likely in the U.S. interest. However, we have been exceedingly slow in throwing our support behind the Syrian people’s efforts to topple a brutal regime that is a close ally of Iran. President Bashar al-Assad has ordered the killing of his own people. His soldiers have shot down several thousands of them in the streets of major Syrian cities—men, women, and children. He ordered the Syrian Navy to bombard the seaside city of Latakia, inflicting civilian casu-
alties. NATO has been told many times not to take military action in Iraq and Afghanistan during Ramadan, a Muslim holy month. I believe in our wars against those countries we overwhelmingly observed those religious requests, but in Syria, the Muslim government didn’t hesitate to put down the revolt while Ramadan was taking place. Israel is the only democracy in the Mideast with values similar to the U.S. It is a country of six million Jews and one million Muslims, surrounded by six Muslim states— Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria—which have waged at least five wars against it. Fortunately, Israel won all five. Had it lost only one, it would have been subject to savagery beyond belief, as the Muslim world took its revenge upon the Jews. The western world now demands that Israel engage in peace talks with the Palestinian Authority that now includes Hamas, which is described by western countries as a terrorist organization. While President Obama has demanded that Israel return to the pre-1967 borders with “swaps,” Hamas believes that Tel Aviv is part of the Palestinian inheritance, and that every Jew who entered historic Palestine after 1917 must be expelled. Yet, western nations expect Israel to negotiate with Hamas, which is reminiscent of Britain and France insisting at Munich that Czechoslovakia negotiate with Hitler. If we are willing to pressure Israel to negotiate with a terrorist organization and we support Afghanistan’s negotiating with the Taliban, another terrorist group, can we be certain that our president won’t ultimately direct Secretary of State Clinton to negotiate with the Islamist terrorists to achieve peace in our time? Iraq, which we liberated from its oppressor Saddam Hussein, is now aligning itself with Iran and Syria. It was shocking to me to learn that every Democratic member of the House of

Report: Standard & Poor's Rafael to Double Iron Dome Batteries Production is Under Investigation THE IRON DOME BATTERIES AT ASHKELON AND BEERSHEVA HAVE INTERCEPTED OVER 90% OF ROCKETS THAT WOULD HAVE HIT POPULATED AREAS.
A major American newspaper says the U.S. is investigating the financial services company that downgraded the U.S. credit rating for its faulty rating of mortgage securities that played a major role in the country's 2008 recession. he New York Times reported that the Justice Department is looking at dozens of securities that Standard & Poor's rated as safe investments that later turned out to include mortgages that were not repaid by borrowers. The failure of the investments has been partly blamed for the sharp downturn in the U.S. economy three years ago, a recession from which it is still struggling to recover. The newspaper said the investigation began before Standard & Poor's recently cut

REPORT BY GLOBES, ISRAEL BUSINESS NEWS - WWW.GLOBES-ONLINE.COM
he Ministry of Defense is in talks to speed up production and procure the Tamir missiles, partly in view of the latest round of confrontation in Gaza, which involved the firing of scores of rockets against Israeli cities from Ashdod to Beersheva. The Israel Air Force's two operational Iron Dome batteries are based at Ashkelon and Beersheva. They intercepted over 90% of the rockets that would have hit populated areas, over the past few days, including an estimated 25 Grad rockets. Rafael has just one production line for the Tamir interceptor missiles. Future operational needs, as well as the plan to establish two more Iron Dome batteries by the end of the year, necessitate the doubling of the missile production. Rafael is due to deliver the third Iron Dome battery to the Air Force in three weeks, and it will probably be based in Ashdod, which was inadequately protected against Grad rockets in last week's fighting. The fourth battery is due to be ready by the end of the year, and it will probably be based in Sderot, which has been the target of Qassam rockets fired by terrorists in Gaza since the start of the second intifada in October 2000. The Air Force Air Defense Network plans to have at least nine Iron Dome batteries nationwide by 2013. A special US aid grant of $205 million will finance the procurement of four batteries. A Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee report estimates that 13 Iron Dome batteries are needed to protect threatened areas nationwide. Each battery costs $50 million, including the innovative radar systems developed by Israel Aerospace
T
Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1) unit Elta Systems. Each Tamir interceptor missile reportedly costs $70,000-100,000. While Iron Dome was under development, many sources were skeptical about the economic feasibility of developing an advanced anti-missile system, since the price of rockets it is designed to intercept can be as low as a few hundred dollars. Iron Dome's baptism of fire came in April, when it successfully intercepted a Grad rocket targeting Ashkelon. Defense source said that the system's success may have prevented two subsequent confrontations from escalating, because if there was extensive damage or casualties, public pressure could have pushed the government into authorizing an assault on Gaza similar to Operation Cast Lead in the winter of 2009. Iron Dome's operational success has drawn the attention of several armies. It is the first system of its kind in the world, and was developed in the quite fast time of three and a half years. Iron Dome and the Tamir missile have been displayed at several arms shows around the world, and the Ministry of Defense has said that exports would lower the price of the system, enabling more procurements.

Brizzi Park to Be Kept Sparkling and Safe by Local Volunteers
Parents from Sunny Skies Preschool Friends of Brizzi Playground. Brizzi Park, located between 42nd and 43rd Streets and 10th and New Utrecht Avenues in Boro Park, will now be tended to by the Friends of Brizzi Playground, a new volunteer group dedicated to care and advocate for the safety, security, cleanliness, and beauty of the playground. Members of the new group are not new to the park, but have been strong advocates of the park for years. he official kickoff meeting took place August 19, 2012 at Sunny Skies Preschool, located right next to Brizzi Playground. The newly incorporated Friends met with Joseph Sanchez, Outreach Coordinator from the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. “We will be working closely with Partnerships for Parks, a project of the NYC Department of Parks that help communities participate in the design of their parks. We are very grateful to have Councilmember Brad Lander and Councilmember Sarah Gonzalez as friends of Brizzi Playground,” says volunteer Gabriella Friedlander, who also works as community liaison for Councilman Lander. Topics that discussed were priorities for all who visit the playground with children: “A safe park is essential to a safe community; we need to ensure that we have to proper support from the police department to secure Brizzi playground, and enforce the ‘no vending’ and ‘no sleeping in the park’ rules,” said volunteer Akiva Kizelnik, an active member of Chaveirim and Community Board 12. “I am extremely concerned about the fact that the playground does not meet the needs of all the children in our community. In order to grow properly, children need to develop their gross motor skills and the park is a pivotal piece to this development. However, there is not a lot of room for children to develop freely at Brizzi Playground as it is mostly occupied by adults smoking, drinking, urinating, sleeping, doing illegal transactions, and getting into fights. Studies have shown that exposing children to bright, primary colors elevates their creativity potential and having a colorful, engaging, clean park is imperative in this community,” said Margarycel Nunez-Simon, founder and CEO of Sunny Skies Preschool. Volunteer Alexander Rapaport, who also runs the Masbia soup kitchen, said, “In Masbia we found that more we take care of
T
the ambiance and the décor, the more it has positive effect on people’s behavior. This would happen in Brizzi Park too. Cleaner and more appealing facilities would change the behavior of everyone.” “We are very grateful to the Parks Department for installing a handicapped swing and looking forward for more play equipment that would accommodate children

The program will begin with registration at 8:30 AM and end at 1:00 PM. efesh is an organization of Orthodox mental health professionals. Rabbi Weinreb, a distinguished clinical psychologist and renowned rabbi, will focus on the way traumatic events—some more than others—affect us. He will address the issue of helping others who are traumatized, when the “helpers” have themselves been trauma-

oth lawmakers are Democratic members of the Assembly—and both are Orthodox Jews. Hikind particularly objects to Weprin’s open support of gay marriage. “Weprin basically used his Jewish orthodoxy to say gay marriage is OK,” Hikind said. “He used his orthodoxy to say gay marriage is kosher. That crossed the line.” Hikind did not go as far as endorsing Weprin’s opponent, Republican Bob Turner, who opposes gay marriage. However, Hikind said he’ll be meeting with Turner within the coming days. This came about as a result of the first debate between Weprin and Turner on Aug.

22, in which the two candidates disagreed on every issue from taxes and spending to immigration, healthcare and unemployment. “It’s not only possible, it’s absolutely necessary,” Turner said, pledging to slash the federal budget by 35 percent during the next seven to 10 years, particularly targeting the education, environment and agriculture departments for cuts. He also pledged not to increase taxes. “That’s an impossibility,” Weprin responded, deriding Turner as a typical Tea Party Republican, whose proposed measures would impact Medicare and Social Security. If elected, Turner said, the first thing he would propose “the repeal of ObamaCare.” Weprin defended ObamaCare as the right thing to do, even if it “wasn’t perfect.” The debate took place at the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, sponsored by several Queens civic groups.

Iran Unveils New Missile ran has unveiled a series of new weapons and military equipment, including a cruise missile that it says has a range of 200 kilometers. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the development of the Iranianmade cruise missile on Tuesday. State-run media reports say he also unveiled a torpedo system that carries a 220-kilogram warhead and a marine engine that will be used by naval forces. State reports say the cruise missile is called "Qader" - or "able" - in Farsi. It is described as having "high destructive power" that can be used against warships or "enemy coastal targets." Iran periodically makes announcements about what it says are advances in its domestically-built military equipment. In July, Tehran said it had successfully test-fired two missiles with a range of 1,900 kilometers.

IAF aircraft killed overnight Tuesday Ismail Zadi Ismail Asmer, a member of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group. The IDF Spokesperson reported that Asmer’s killing was made possible in a joint operation between the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (ISA). Asmer was attacked and killed in the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. According to the IDF Spokesperson’s statement, the IAF scored direct hits and all aircraft returned safely to their bases. Asmer was involved in weapons smuggling and was planning to carry out a terror attack in the Sinai Peninsula, said the IDF. “Recently, several attempts have been made by terrorists in the Gaza Strip to carry out attacks in the Sinai Peninsula, along the Israel-Egypt border,” said the IDF’s statement. “The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to act firmly and strongly against anyone who uses terrorism against Israel.”

another attempted rape accusation. Before the incident, Strauss-Kahn was a leading contender to challenge French President Nicolas Sarkozy in an election next year.

Charges Against Strauss-Kahn Dropped
Washington’s Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Opens to Public
A New York judge has dismissed sexual assault charges against former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique StraussKahn, one day after prosecutors moved to have the case dropped. After the dismissal Tuesday, an appeals court rejected his accuser's request for a special prosecutor to continue the criminal case. Protesters gathered outside the courthouse Tuesday, criticizing the move to drop the charges. The 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn later said the past months have been “a nightmare” for him and his family. In a written statement, he thanked supporters and said he is grateful that the Manhattan district attorney agreed to dismiss the case. Strauss-Kahn was arrested in May, after a maid alleged he sexually assaulted her when she went to clean his room at a luxury hotel in Manhattan. Guinean-born Nafissatou Diallo accused the former IMF managing director of attacking her at the hotel on May 14. Strauss-Kahn's lawyers denied the allegation and suggested that any sexual encounter was consensual. Prosecutors filed their request to have the case dismissed, saying the evidence did not prove that Strauss-Kahn engaged in a forced sexual encounter. They expressed concern about the maid's reliability, saying she has not been truthful on “great and small” matters, and that they could not ask a jury to believe her when they no longer believed her themselves. Diallo's case faltered in late June when prosecutors revealed inconsistencies in her account of what happened. They also disclosed that she had fabricated a story about being raped in her native Guinea for her U.S. asylum application. Efforts to clarify what happened between Strauss-Kahn and Diallo will likely continue in civil court, where she has sued him. He also faces an investigation in France of
he memorial dedicated to U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. has opened to the public, ahead of an official dedication ceremony on Sunday . Located on Washington's National Mall, the memorial site features a 9-meter-tall statue of King and a long granite wall inscribed with key quotations from the minister, civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner who was assassinated in 1968. It is situated between other memorials honoring U.S. presidents Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Chinese sculptor Lei Yixin built the statue, which depicts King emerging from a stone with a stern facial expression, his arms folded and clutching papers in his left hand. Organizers say the monument is the first tribute to a person of color on the National Mall, and “diversifies” an area that previously contained only memorials to presidents and wars. They say the King memorial cost $120 million, with much of the money raised from charitable donations by individuals and foundations. The official dedication on Sunday is timed to coincide with the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington, in which hundreds of thousands of people rallied on the National Mall for jobs and equality, and King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at the ceremony. The King memorial is located at 1964 Independence Avenue, an address referring to the year the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by president Lyndon Johnson. The monument is the latest in a series of additions to the National Mall over the past two decades. The Korean War Memorial opened in 1995. A monument honoring President Franklin Roosevelt was dedicated in 1997 followed by the World War Two Memorial in 2004.

Israelis to Re-name Gaddafi Croc n Israeli crocodile named after onthe-way-out Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi will likely receive a new name -- to save his life. An Israeli crocodile named "Muammar Gaddafi" may be given a new name to spare

he people who are hospitalized in the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva after being wounded in the rocket attacks over the weekend received a surprise visit on Sunday from none other than American actor Jon Voight. Israel’s Channel 2 News reported that Voight came to the hospital to express his support for Israel and to strengthen those who were wounded. “I am here to express my love and my loyalty to Israel,” Voight told Channel 2, emphasizing that he Jon Voight sees in his presence in Israel a mission, and that part of his job is to prevent the misperception of Israel in other countries. “I’m here to fight the propaganda and lies distributed against Israel,” he said, adding, “Chabad has given me the opportunity to visit the wounded and I was glad to come.” Voight, an ardent supporter of Israel, visited the country in January along with Republican politician Mike Huckabee. During that visit Voight said that
my Winehouse's family claims that no illegal narcotics were present in the singer's system at the time of death, but their statements did nothing to address the possibility that the abuse of prescription drugs may have played a role in her demise. According to a report by celebrity news source TMZ, a source close to the family would not comment on any prescription drugs, even though he and the rest of the family were categorical on illegal drugs. The family says they have seen toxicology reports which rule out illegal drugs. The family did acknowledge Amy had been drinking at Amy Winehouse the time of her death. As for prescription medications, there are many that contain opiates similar to heroin, including morphine and OxyContin.

News out of Libya has worried keepers at the Hamat Gader crocodile farm on the occupied Golan Heights, who are concerned the demise of the Libyan strongman could spell a sticky end for their croc "Gaddafi" - a three-meter giant who weighs around 230kg. Another of their crocodiles, named "Yasser Arafat," died just weeks after the iconic PLO leader passed away in a Paris hospital in November 2004, spokeswoman Meital Dana told AFP. Park officials are now looking into a new name in the hope it will spare "Gaddafi" the same fate, she said. The giant crocodile won his name for both his size and the year he was was born:

Andy Dick Lives up to his Namesake o stranger to controversy, or to annoying large groups of people, Andy Dick is at it again! The comedian railed against radio shock jock Howard Stern on the “Greg Fitzsimmons Show,” calling him a “big fat hook nose,” and “miserly.” Dick claims he still hasn't been paid for "The S*** Show,” (We’re just going to assume the blanked out letters here spell “shtuss.” –ed.) a program he has hosted for several years on Stern's Sirius Radio channel, Howard 101, starting in 2006. "For two years I did the show and never got paid," Dick kvetched. Stern returned fire after a caller informed him of Dick's rant, claiming that Dick’s antiSemitic leanings are nothing new. "So good, Andy's true colors come out. I'm not surprised by it, I'm used to it. It's just

typical," Stern said. "Andy's run out of friends," Stern added. "You're not getting paid a dime because your show sucks, [expletive deleted]. Stop blaming the world for your problems. Make yourself valuable; stop looking for the handouts waiting for the Jew to give a job." Indeed, Dick’s bigotry extends beyond your basic antiSemitism. The “comedian” was forced to apologize for using the N-word during a 2006 Andy Dick comedy show in Los Angeles. His antics, which have seen him kicked off television sets and even arrested, are too numerous to list here. But perhaps worst of all, he somehow has us rooting for Howard Stern. Mr. Dick, have you no shame? Oh, right.
“Lowly Jew” Letterman Even Funnier After Death Threats ate Show” host David Letterman returned to television on Monday night for the first time since being the subject of death threats on an Islamist Internet forum. The disgruntled viewer, identifying himself as Umar al-Masrawi, posted to the Shumukh al-Islam online forum saying that Letterman had joked about the deaths of Osama bin Laden and another senior alQaeda leader, Ilyas Kashmiri in a skit on his late night CBS show. Asked Masrawi: "Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair alMairi," referring to the murderer of Rav Meir Kahane (hy”d), "to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?" By way of retort, David Letterman Letterman suggested that the extremists he had offended were perhaps being overly sensitive. “A guy gets assassinated, you can't tell a couple of jokes?" he quipped. Letterman began his monologue Monday night by showing his appreciation for his audience members. "You people are more than an audience tonight, really. You're more like a human shield." He then explained that he was late because "backstage I was talking to the guy from CBS. We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad." The editorial staff of the Jewish Voice would like to nominate Mr. Letterman for the title of “Honorary Jew,” for having the courage to crack wise in the face of adversity, while being identified by Islamist terrorists as a member of the tribe. As far as we’re concerned, that’s close enough.

Analysis: Attacks in Israel and New Opportunities for Terrorists in Egypt A series of coordinated attacks occurred last Thursday along Israel’s border with Egypt. While each attack was relatively small, the incidents indicate some degree of coordination among the attackers. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak attributed the attacks to elements emanating from the Gaza Strip, while Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tactical reports stated that the attacks had been launched from across Israel’s border with Egypt along the Sinai Peninsula. No one has yet claimed responsibility. srael has plenty of experience in dealing with threats from militants in Gaza. In response, Israel often conducts preemptive as well as retaliatory air strikes using real-time intelligence. In addition, whenever things appear to be getting out of control, the IDF conducts a major ground offensive. Attacks inside Israel have become a rare occurrence. Weakened capability and shifting strategic imperatives have caused Hamas and other militant groups to largely refrain from such attacks. Most attacks usually consist of the firing of rockets from Gaza, a practice Hamas has an interest in both limiting as well as calibrating to enhance its control over the Strip. In light of recent unrest in the Arab world and the new political and security reality in Egypt, these latest attacks in Israel potential-

With even Salafists and former jihadist groups such as Gamaah alIslamiyah and Tandheem al-Jihad embracing the political mainstream, the jihadists will have a hard time gaining support for an armed insurrection against the Egyptian state. Realizing that they are not able to directly confront the Egyptian state (despite the Arab unrest), the jihadists are trying to indirectly undermine the regime by exploiting the Israeli-Gaza situation and the renewed militancy in the Sinai. Even before today’s attacks, the Israelis responded to increasing attacks in the Sinai by allowing Cairo to deploy an additional 1,000 troops to the peninsula. That concession indicated that Israel is likely skeptical of the Egyptian military’s ability to effectively deal with this problem, considering current political and security circumstances. Cairo is

It is quite possible that alQaeda is trying to exploit the post-Mubarak political environment to mobilize its Sinaiand Gaza-based assets in order to create an Egyptian-Israeli crisis that can (potentially) undermine Cairo’s stability. Under the police state run by ousted President Hosni Mubarak, Egypt successfully kept political Islamists restrained, neutralizing the threat from jihadist groups. The unrest that broke out in the Arab world earlier this year has altered the domestic political reality in Egypt.

The new era of Egyptian multiparty politics has also allowed a variety of Islamist actors to emerge as legitimate political entities. At the same time, Egyptian national sentiment is emerging as a major factor in the foreign policy–making process. This change alone constitutes a threat to Israel’s national security, though it is a more of a long-term issue. The rise of different types of Islamist actors (Muslim Brotherhood, Salafists, and Sufists, among others) as legitimate political entities who pursue constitutional means to come to power makes it difficult for jihadists to directly threaten the stability of the

Egypt is in the early stages of trying to manage political and militant opposition in a tense political climate and it is unable to
maintain internal security as effectively as it once did. Israel, therefore, will likely see today’s attacks as a new kind of threat. The Israeli leadership realizes that the problem is no longer strictly confined to Gaza but has now spread to Egypt itself. However, Israel doesn’t have any good way to control the situation unfolding within the borders of its Arab neighbor. That said, Israeli officials have already begun pointing fingers at the deteriorating security situation in Egypt, a response which likely going to cause tensions between Jerusalem and Cairo—exactly what the jihadists hope to achieve. The latest video statement from al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, in which he speaks of an “intellectual” effort in addition to the armed one, is noteworthy. Al-Zawahiri’s comments are part of al-Qaeda’s response to the so-called “Arab Spring”—a development in which the jihadists have largely been marginalized. Al-Zawahiri has long been frustrated by the fact that many former jihadists in Egypt (his home country) have renounced violence, attacking al-Qaeda and him personally. For decades, the al-Qaeda leader has longed to be capable of undermining the Egyptian state, and now the Arab unrest provides an opportunity (albeit not without challenges of its own). Al-Zawahiri’s status as alQaeda chief after the death of Osama bin Laden boosts the viability of this endeavor. In this new role, he is more or less free to steer the movement toward his preferred direction. His ascension to the top of the jihadist hierarchy also signals a rise of Egyptians (who have long held a disproportionate amount of influence) within the global jihadist network. The result is that al-Qaeda can be expected to focus heavily on the Egyptian-GazaIsraeli fault line. This fixation will not only complicate matters for Israel and its efforts to deal with the Gaza Strip, it could also begin to unravel the Egyptian-Israeli relationship that has existed since the signing of the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords.

GLENN BECK AND THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS RALLY FOR ISRAEL Continued from Cover few years trying to find solutions for what is happening in the world. While there may not be a political solution, the good news is the G-d of Abraham ain’t running for office. Be not afraid, know who He is, know His face, know that He is a G-d of covenants and miracles.” Beck then concluded his opening remarks by saying that, “We are leaving the age of man-made miracles of spacecraft, and we are entering the age of the miracles of Gd.” Beck then introduced Dr. Mike Evans, award-winning journalist and Executive Director of the Corrie ten Boom Fellowship. Evans shared with the audience a very moving personal story of faith and explained how he was the child of a Jewish mother whose grandfather was burned alive in a synagogue in Minsk Russia. She taught him that Christians kill Jews, Christians hate Jews. Evans’ father was Christian and hatefully anti-Semitic who tried his best to turn him against his Judaism and against G-d. Then,

_____________________ Jon Voight : “The truth will be revealed. People will become alert, active, and righteousness will be recognized.” _____________________
Actor Jon Voight speaking to CBN News Midddle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell. the story of a Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor changed Evans’ life. Corrie ten Boom and her family saved over 800 Jewish families during the Holocaust in the Netherlands by hiding them in a secret room in their home. Her father Oscar believed that Jews were G-d’s chosen people and decided that G-d’s chosen were always welcome in his home. Corrie and her family never attempted to change the religious beliefs of those whom they hid. They rather learned the Jewish laws of kashrut and Shabbat and helped them observe them. Evans stated that he, as a Jew, was saved by the knowledge that Christians can love Jews as Corrie ten Boom did. Evans than found, that his new mother was Israel and his new father, the G-d of Israel. Beck was also joined on stage by famed Pastor John Hagee, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, well-known historian David Barton and other Jewish and Christian clergymen. Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin, founding
Rabbi of the Lincoln Square Synagouge in New York and Chief founding rabbi of the Judean community of Efrat, is a highly respected and devout Orthodox Rabbi. He has stirred much controversy, however, by insisting that Jews must build strong bridges to the Christian community and reach out to them. Beck attributed his decision to move forward with the Restoring Courage Rally to his friendship with Rabbi Riskin. Beck claimed that Riskin convinced him to do it even though there were Christians who thought he should not and “questioned his salvation.” In Riskin’s speech to the enthusiastic audience, he described Glenn Beck as a “true friend of Israel” and Pastor John Hagee as one of the greatest religious leaders of the world. He thanked those attending for coming because of their “great love for Israel.” In particular he thanked those who came at great risk to themselves, such as the Christian pastor from Bethlehem, Dr. Naim
Khoury. Riskin centered his words on Judaism’s respect for differences, calling it one’s “otherness.” “G-d created others and G-d loves all of His others […] and he commands us to love the other as we love ourselves,” he said. Riskin stated that Jew and Christian have always been together with G-d, and to be alone with G-d is to be with the majority of one. He further stated that courage is rooted in the self sacrifice to turn one’s enemy into a beloved friend. “Courage demands love; it takes courage to love another, to love someone who is different than you […] the courage to love and applaud differences.” Riskin ended, to a standing ovation, with an acknowledgement that Jews were persecuted by the church. “Despite the fact that we are different, that we are Jews and not Christians that we respect Jesus as a Jewish teacher but not as the Messiah or G-d, few Christians nevertheless have the courage to love us in our otherness.” He emphasized that as Jews and Christians we share a faithbased commitment to a love of the Bible as the word of G-d and a shared commitment to a G-d of love, morality, and peace. Last but not least in the evening’s distinguished line-up of speakers was Pastor John Hagee. He drew upon the famed words of President Kennedy when JFK visited the divided city of Berlin: “Ich Bin Ein Berliner,” to move the crowd to respond to a series of statements about being unified with the Israeli people in times of threat to Israel by having them shout out, “I am an Israeli.” He compared Israel to America and its passion for democracy and Judeo-Christian culture. Pastor Hagee brought the crowd to a thunderous standing ovation when he declared, “If a line has to be drawn then draw the line around both Christians and Jews”.
Attending the rally were many wellknown celebrities including American actor Jon Voight, who spoke about how deeply moved he was by Israeli courage. He stated his firm belief that Israeli soldiers, not movie stars, are true heroes. Voight visited the hospitals where the soldiers were being treated, and described how he was touched by their sacrifice. The accomplished actor and father of A-list star Angelina Jolie talked about a cause with which he is deeply involved, the Chabad Children of Chernobyl Project in Kfar Chabad. He described how he spoke to a little girl he has previously met and how proud he was to see her again growing up and becoming stronger and more capable of standing up and speaking with him about different events in her life. He is proud that he can help raise money for this project so that these Jewish children can grow up and gain courage. Voight displayed a thorough understanding of the history and re-birth of the Jewish State. Speaking to the Jewish Voice about the average American’s lack of understanding when it comes to current events unfolding in Israel, and how to best put forth the Israeli position, Jon Voight opined: “The biggest problem in the world today is the press and the ownership of the press and they continue to distribute propaganda.” “The left wing propaganda both in the
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin delivers his speech to an enlivened audience in Caesarea, Israel. United States and Israel is very damaging and creates an ignorant population,” explained Voight. “Something must be done about it, once you break through to a person with one or two truths and they acknowledge it.” “The truth will be revealed. People will become alert, active, and righteousness will be recognized,” he said. The Restoring Courage Rally continues with its largest event in Jerusalem on Wednesday, August 24.

Recipe: Mixed Green Salad With Beets, Goat Cheese, and Walnuts
This is a perfect spring and summer salad. Light and refreshing and easy to make. SERVES 6.
Ingredients: • 4 medium beets (red, golden, or a combination) • 1/2 to 3/4 pound salad greens, preferably a mixture of baby spring greens and arugula • 1/3 cup walnut pieces, preferably from fresh shelled walnuts • 1 ounce goat cheese or feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup) • 2 oranges, slices removed from pith (optional) • (Watch the video how to slice an orange or grapefruit without the white pith) • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon, parsley (optional)
Dressing: • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar • Salt and freshly ground pepper • 1 small garlic clove, minced or pressed (optional) • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, to taste • 3 tablespoons walnut oil • 4 tablespoons olive oil or plain nonfat yogurt* *If using yogurt, water for thinning out the dressing.
Roast the beets. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut away the leaves by slicing across the top end, about 1/2 inch above where the stems and root meet (save the leaves for another purpose). Scrub the beets under warm water with a vegetable brush. Place in a baking dish, and add about 1/4 inch of water. Cover and bake 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the beets. Medium-size beets take about 45 minutes, small ones 30, and large ones take an hour. Test for doneness by sticking a knife into a beet. It should slide in easily. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. When the beets are cool, it will be easy to slip their skins off. Skin and cut in half lengthwise, then slice the beets very thin, or cut in small wedges.
1
If the nuts are not very fresh and just shelled, roast them for 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven, until just toasty. Transfer immediately to a plate or bowl.
2 3 4
Toss the beets with the salad greens, walnut pieces, goat cheese , orange slices, and fresh herbs.
Mix together the vinegars, salt, pepper, and mustard. Whisk in the oils or the walnut oil and yogurt. Taste; if you want the dressing to be a bit more acidic, add another teaspoon of vinegar. Toss with the salad and serve. Advance preparation: The cooked beets will keep for several days in the refrigerator. the dressing can be made and the greens washed and dried several hours ahead of serving.

New Treatment for Stroke Reversal at New York Methodist Hospital
HEALTH
PAGE 33
The Software That Could Prevent Crib Death
Stroke is now the third-leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability, with almost 800,000 Americans experiencing a stroke every year. A stroke—which is actually a “brain attack”—comes in two forms: ischemic, caused by the blockage of a blood vessel supplying the brain, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding into or around the brain. ighty-three percent of strokes are ischemic strokes, which occur when blood clots or other particles block arteries to the brain and reduce blood flow, depriving the brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, cells may begin to die. Ischemic strokes can be caused by complications from smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure (hypertension), which all can lead to the narrowing of arteries in the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures. Uncontrolled hypertension and weak spots in blood vessel walls (aneurysms) can cause hemorrhages. When a patient with an ischemic stroke is taken to the emergency room within three hours of the stroke’s occurrence, a clot-busting medication called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) can be administered intravenously or directly to the site of the clot.
E
_______________________________
“Dr. Ayad is one of very few people in New York City who can treat aneurysms and AVMs utilizing either an open surgery or an endovascular approach, depending on the patient’s need.” _______________________________ This medication may help to reverse the stroke by breaking up the clot and allowing blood flow to reach the brain again, saving brain cells. However, this is not an option if the patient arrives in the emergency room after three hours, nor is it an option for hemorrhagic strokes. Additional options for treatment of stroke are now available at New York Methodist Hospital, which recently welcomed Michael J. Ayad, M.D., a neurosurgeon with a Ph.D. in neurophysiology, as attending physician in the Division of Neurosurgery. Dr. Ayad, an expert in stroke care, is devoted to research in the area of blood flow to the brain, offers advanced techniques for the treatment of strokes. “We are fortunate to have someone with Dr. Ayad’s skills as part of our staff,” said Martin Zonenshayn, M.D., F.A.C.S., chief of neurosurgery at NYM. “We are now able to offer our patients comprehensive care for a full range of cerebrovascular diseases.” “There have recently been many advances in the treatment of stroke,” said Dr. Ayad. One of the procedures that NYM can now offer is a “stroke reversal” alternative to tPA, utilizing the Penumbra System, first approved by the FDA in 2009. This procedure enables the neurosurgeon to remove blood clots through the femoral artery. The Penumbra System is a “tiny vacuum cleaner for the brain,” which suctions out blood clots through a catheter attached to a pump. This procedure can result in a successful reversal of stroke, up to eight hours after its occurrence. The device was named “Penumbra” (shadow) because of the “halo” of oxygen-deprived but nevertheless viable

tissue surrounding the permanently injured portion of brain, which can be saved if the clot is removed. “Even with the advanced technology we have, stroke reversal is still dependent on the amount of time the brain cells have been deprived of oxygen,” said Dr. Ayad. “But in collaboration with the Department of Neurology, the Division of Neurosurgery and the Emergency Department, we will be creating well-informed teams to mobilize quickly, at all hours of the day, potentially saving brain, and lives.” The Merci System, introduced in 2006, is another option being offered for removing blood clots from the brain. With the Merci System, a catheter is also inserted into the femoral artery, but it has a corkscrew-shaped device attached to the end, used to physically spear and remove the blood clot. Dr. Ayad is also able to provide care for people with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain, which can lead to hemorrhage and strokelike symptoms, such as difficulty speaking, weakness, numbness, vision loss, or severe unsteadiness. AVMs can be treated either by making an incision into the skull and removing the abnormal veins and arteries comprising the malformation (known as resection), or by using a procedure known as embolization, in which a catheter blocks the abnormal feeding arteries with a type of “tissue glue,” reducing blood flow into the abnormality, thus significantly decreasing chances of brain hemorrhage. A similar technique using platinum coils is used to treat intracerebral aneurysms. “Dr. Ayad is one of very few people in New York City who can treat aneurysms and AVMs utilizing either an open surgery or an endovascular approach, depending on the patient’s need,” said Dr. Zonenshayn. “This provides the patient a unique and unbiased approach because treatment is not limited.” “In certain cases, after a stroke or following a hemorrhage, brain swelling can occur,” said Dr. Ayad. “In cases like these, we are also equipped to do a decompressive craniectomy, during which a portion of the skull is removed in order to provide room for the brain to swell safely.” Dr. Ayad comes to NYM from Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Department of Neurological Surgery. “I am excited to be at NYM, an institution that is willing to offer the most advanced techniques when it comes to stroke care and other neurological disorders,” said Dr. Ayad. “I am looking forward to a multidisciplinary approach to treat complex cerebrovascular diseases.” For more information, please call the Division of Neurosurgery at 718.246.8610.

This little understood phenomenon otherwise known as "crib death" affects approximately two of every 1,000 babies worldwide, or 544,000 infants per year in the United States alone. Algorithms programmed into BabyBeat's software interpret images from a simple web camera in order to detect sub-

If it senses such a change, BabyBeat sounds an alarm that startles the infant back into a normal breathing pattern, and also alerts Mom and Dad. Parents don't have to
do anything but set the camera at bedtime. BabyBeat was developed by electrical and computer engineering students Tomer Apel (27) and Anava Feinsilver (24) at BenGurion University of the Negev as their senior project under Prof. Shlomi Arnon. "It was our professor's idea to measure pulse through skin color," Apel tells ISRAEL21c. "We were interested in learning more about it. This took up our entire last year of our bachelor's degree studies." Monitoring for high-risk babes? The pair got a lot of attention for their project at an end-of-year display, and have been interviewed by local newspapers, radio and TV stations. But they're not sure where it will go next. They hope the university can help them find a partner to further test and commercialize the system. According to a university spokesman, "It's too early to say what the next phase of development might be, if any." In the meantime, they are continuing their own informal testing of BabyBeat on their adult friends and on their sleeping baby nephews. Since it is completely noninvasive, it's not hard to get cooperation from test subjects. If it is indeed commercialized, BabyBeat has a variety of possible uses. For instance, hospitals and day-care centers could set it up on a computer near infant cribs to monitor the pulses of several babies at once. Results could be telecommunicated to physicians in cases of high-risk babies, in order to facilitate a faster response to any abnormality. "Our goal was mainly to show that it can be done," emphasizes Apel. "We don't have all the time and resources to develop it further, but maybe someone else will do that."

One Family, Three World-Class Jazz Musicians MEET YUVAL, ANAT, AND AVISHAI, TEL AVIV SIBLINGS WHO ARE TEARING UP THE GLOBAL JAZZ MUSIC SCENE BY ABIGAIL KLEIN LEICHMAN How does one raise three children to become world-class jazz musicians? Bilha and David Cohen aren’t exactly sure how Yuval, Anat, and Avishai—who record and tour separately and together as “The 3 Cohens”—all ended up on the same page—that is, stage. don’t know how it worked,” the siblings’ mother confesses in an interview from her Tel Aviv home. The following day, she was flying to the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy to see Anat, recently named Clarinetist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association for the fifth straight year. A former kindergarten music teacher, Bilha Cohen ferried her kids to lessons at the Jaffa Music Conservatory three times a week. But that was their choice. “We never pushed them,” she stresses. “Anat began playing a small organ when she was six, and took up the clarinet when she was 12.” Yuval claimed the saxophone at age nine. Avishai requested trumpet lessons when he was eight. “Can you imagine hearing different wind instruments playing in our house at the same time?” Bilha says. “It was crazy.” It’s not so crazy anymore as the Cohens reap the satisfaction of having reared a trio with many albums under their belts and regular appearances in the United States, Europe, South America, and Israel. Saxophonist Yuval says, “It’s really fun to play with Anat and Avishai, because we

He had received scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation and served as a saxophonist, arranger, and coconductor for the Israel Defense Forces Orchestra from 1991 to 1994. In 1997, about to begin a master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music on a full scholarship, he landed in the hospital for surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor.

“The dream was down the drain, and I had to go back home for rehab,” he says now. “It took me a long, long time to go back to playing because my hand is damaged. According to my doctors, it’s against the odds that I am playing today.” While fighting his way back to a professional level, he went to law school at Tel Aviv
and Dance in Jerusalem, he won Israel’s prestigious Landau Prize for jazz performance. The only one of the three living in Israel, Yuval teaches at Rubin as well as at the Rimon School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, Thelma Yellin High School, and the Tel Aviv Music Conservatory. “People really enjoy hearing The 3 Cohens. We had a very blessed year, touring in places like Brazil, Canada, and Australia,” says Yuval. “Sometimes if we have a gig in the same spot, we stay there for a few consecutive nights, so that’s a chance to get more time together.” “My brothers and I probably represent the state of Israel in our travels around the world,” clarinetist Anat tells ISRAEL21c. She believes they collectively convey a positive image of Israel, “not in the notes we play but in our message of being good, nice people and caring about others.” Anat visits home as often as her performance schedule across North America, Europe, South America, Japan, and South Africa allow. Her last CD, “Clarinetwork,” recorded live at the legendary New York club Village Vanguard in 2009, features the music of renowned clarinetist Benny Goodman. “It’s inevitable to go through a Benny Goodman phase, if you’re in jazz and clarinet,” says Anat, who also plays tenor sax. But asked to name her musical role models, she mentions Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bachet—and her brothers. “When we play together, it augments the experience immensely,” she says. After majoring in jazz at Thelma Yellin, Anat played tenor saxophone in the Israeli Air Force band and successfully auditioned for Berklee’s traveling representative in Tel Aviv—as did Yuval and Avishai each in turn. “It was a stage in life where we followed each other,” she explains. “Yuval was the first to go to Berklee, so it was natural for me to follow him.” Her album “Place and Time,” was named one of All About Jazz-New York’s Best Debut Albums of 2005. “Notes From the Village” (2008), featured her quartet including pianist Jason Lindner, bassist Omer Avital, and drummer Daniel Freedman— musicians who also perform frequently with her brothers. Speaking with ISRAEL21c during a summer trip home with his wife and two preschoolers, trumpeter Avishai describes
the siblings as “four different entities. We all perform separately and together. In the past year, especially, we have been touring as The 3 Cohens, and that is probably closest to my heart. You get to create music with incredible musicians whom you also know and love unconditionally.” His latest CD, “Introducing Triveni,” was recorded with Avital and drummer Nasheet Waits and released in 2010. Avishai began playing with the Rimon Big Band at age 10 (“I had a box I stood on”) and toured with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra as a teen. He is in several ensembles—Triveni, Third World Love, Tea for 3, _______________________________

He is nearly constantly traveling between shows, recording sessions and jazz festivals. Close as he is with his siblings, he can’t always keep track of them. “On our way back recently from Australia after a 3 Cohens performance, Anat told me she was staying in LA to play at the Playboy Jazz Festival. I had gig there too, and didn’t even know she also did. I met her again at the Montreal International Jazz Festival [in June and July]. We missed each other’s shows, but we got to have a beer the night in between.” This summer, Avishai is touring Europe with Tea for 3, which includes trumpeters Dave Douglas and veteran Enrico Rava. He and Douglas will teach at a jazz summer camp in Siena, Italy, before a short tour with pianist Lindner and guitarist Lionel Loueke in Sicily. “We have another Tea for 3 show after that, then I have the Newport Jazz Festival with Triveni, and a week of 3 Cohens shows at the Village Vanguard,” he continues. And we haven’t even gotten to December. Avishai good-naturedly disputes the family joke that he took up trumpet because it has only three valves. Like his mother, he’s hard put to explain why the siblings kept at it. “It never occurred to me to stop. From the time I was 11 or 12, I already knew this was what I would do in my life,” says Avishai. “We all had a natural talent for music.” ISRAEL21C.ORG PHOTO BY OSNAT ROM

Parshat Re’eh:
Haftarah Re’eh
_______________________________
“It is not enough to make sure that the beneficiary’s material needs are satisfied and that he does not go hungry. It is important that he be able to retain at least a measure of his former prestige and dignity. Not only does what he lacks financially need to be redressed, but what he lacks emotionally, must also be provided.” _______________________________ incapable of appreciating the humanity of others. He was generous and charitable, and over the years, he developed into an advocate for the welfare of others. It was just that his standards of success, the way he judged whether or not a person had “made it” in life, were all based upon “the balance sheet.” As for me, it was difficult back then to come up with an equally simple formula for really knowing another person. It has remained difficult for me ever since. In this week’s Torah portion, Parshat Re’eh, we learn a lesson that always reminds me of those discussions long ago with my businessman friend. The Torah enjoins us to give charity to the poor. “If there be among you a needy man... thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother; but thou shalt open thine hand unto him...” (Deuteronomy 15:7-8) The Torah does not define “needy.” What exactly is the degree of need which entitles a person to charity? How do I determine the degree of another’s “need” which obligates me to contribute to him? The Oral Torah, in the Mishnah and Talmud and Codes, elaborates in detail upon these specifics. It defines the degree of
Haftarah in a Nutshell (Isaiah 54:11-55:5) This week’s haftarah is the third of a series of seven “Haftarot of Consolation.” These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b’Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah.
He was one of my closest friends back in my graduate-school days. I was training for a career in psychology and he was pursuing a degree in business management. We confided in each other regularly. He knew that to succeed in business, he would have to understand what “makes people tick,” and to gain that understanding, he wanted to “pick my brain.” I knew that I had a tendency to be idealistic and a bit impractical, and I counted upon his sound business sense to help me remain grounded in the realities of life. We often found ourselves disagreeing upon fundamental matters. The most formidable gap between us was in our understanding of how to assess the value of another person. His approach was, “Show me his bottom line. If I had access to his financial statement, to his balance sheet, then I would know what he is worth.” For him, the ultimate value of another person depended almost entirely upon that person’s material wealth. Don’t get me wrong. My friend was not

Summary of Haftarah:
The Balance Sheet RABBI DR. TZVI HERSH WEINREB
PARSHA
d addresses the “afflicted and storm-tossed” Jerusalem “who has not been comforted,” assuring her that she, and her people, will be restored to full glory. The foundation, walls, and ground of Jerusalem will be laid with precious stones. Her children will be “disciples of the L-rd,” and will enjoy abundant peace. Any weapon engineered against her will fail. The prophet then invites the thirsty to acquire “water,” namely those who are thirsty for spirituality should study the quenching words of Torah. He promises the nation an everlasting covenant similar to that made with King David. This is also an allusion to the Messiah, David’s descendant, who will be revered by all of the nations of the world.

poverty which entitles a person to communal funds for his meals and clothing and basic necessities of life. And, yes, it does look at the “bottom line of the balance sheet.” However, it also looks at some data which is not on the typical balance sheet. For immediately after the verse quoted above, we find the following words: “...and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his needs and that which is lacking to him.” (Deuteronomy 15:8) What does the Torah mean by those last phrases? Rashi tells us that “sufficient for his need” means that you have to meet his needs, but you do not have to make him wealthy. “That which is lacking to him” means that if he was accustomed, before he became impoverished, to ride upon a horse and have a servant run before him, then you must provide him with that horse and that servant. There is a teaching here of exquisite sensitivity. It is not enough to make sure that the beneficiary’s material needs are satisfied and that he does not go hungry. It is important that he be able to retain at least a measure of his former prestige and dignity. Not only does what he lacks financially need to be redressed, but what he lacks emotionally, must also be provided. And what does the Torah mean by the “him” in the phrase “lacking to him”? It means, Rashi tells us, that if one aspect of his impoverishment is his loneliness, then we must search for a good wife for him. The Torah is teaching us the essential lesson here about the nature of the responsibilities of the community to its needy members. We are responsible not merely to examine their balance sheets and, satisfied that they qualify financially, give them enough of a dole to provide them with food and shelter. We must look at a different sort of balance sheet entirely, one which takes into account human dignity and the social and emotional condition of the needy person. We must help him salvage some of his selfesteem, and we must do all we can to provide him with proper companionship. The tragedy of the poor transcends their financial predicament. It includes their intense feelings of hopelessness and isolation. Society must see to it that it addresses “all that is lacking to him.” This holistic view of the needs of another person is not limited to the charity we give to the poor. Rather, this is the view that we must have of all other human beings. Who they are and what their value is cannot be assessed on the basis of a balance sheet. We cannot limit
our appreciation of another person to his or her financial needs. Rather, we must look at the whole person and realize that he or she has emotional needs, spiritual needs, and social needs. When we relate to another person, we cannot assume that we know them unless we know what they are really lacking in their lives. We may or may not be able to address these higher needs, but we cannot assume that we can judge another person until we can state confidently that we know all that they are lacking. I return, in conclusion, to my friend from graduate school days. I recently met him at the wedding of his grandchild. He had gained a certain notoriety because he was one of the more prominent victims of the multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that we have all recently read about. We sat down and talked, and he told me that when he initially learned of how his
hard-earned fortune had dissipated, he thought about his significantly reduced balance sheet. “However,” he said, “what hurt me much more was my loss of self-confidence, my radically changed lifestyle, and the way that others mocked me, or worse, pitied me.” He had learned, albeit the hard way, the lessons of this week’s Torah portion and what it has to teach us about what is really the basis of value and worth. Thankfully, he concluded our brief conversation with paraphrasing the Torah’s very words: “But today, on the occasion of the wedding of my first grandchild, the balance sheet means nothing. I am not needy. I am happy, I feel accomplished, and I lack nothing.” TO READ MORE ARTICLES AND ESSAYS BY RABBI WEINREB, VISIT HIS BLOG AT WWW.OU.ORG/RABBI_WEINREB

WHAT DOES IT COST TO WATERPROOF A BASEMENT? A breakdown of what it costs to waterproof a basement if you do it yourself or hire a contractor to perform the work for you
Before starting with any waterproofing project, one of the most important considerations would be the cost of waterproofing a basement. Since many economies have suffered for the past couple of years and money has been extremely important, knowing the cost of waterproofing a basement allows individuals to think of ways to save up or to think alternative ways to do so. onetheless, the cost of waterproofing a basement cannot be determined unless the main problem of the basement is determined. The kind of water problems in the basement determine the kind of waterproofing procedure to do. The foil test is one the best ways to determine the main problem in the basement. Taping foil to the basement walls can help determine whether the issue is condensation or seepage. As for other types of problem, there are also different factors to consider for the cost of waterproofing a basement. There are many ways to estimate the cost of waterproofing a basement. For instance, an type of interior drain that can be placed along the inside of the walls of the basement, such as baseboard, has the ability direct water to a sump pump thereby removing the water. Nonetheless, this does not permanently solve the problem so there should be a supporting component. There are waterproofing kits available priced from $250 and above. This can cover around twenty while basements that cover around ninety-six feet of area may cost around $1000. Thus, the average price for an interior drain is around

$10.50 to $12.50 per foot coupled with the amount of time and energy needed to install such. Professional installation definitely requires more money. Cracks on the foundation walls can be sealed using polyurethane, rubberized filling compounds, epoxy or hydraulic cement. The price of such products can go from $7 for a tube of caulk while a quart of sealer costs around $12. If application is done properly, water proof paint can also seal cracks. The

There are many tile materials that are suitable for the floor and your personal preferences and the room you are tiling will play a large part in the choices you make. There are many natural stone varieties that are ideal for busy high traffic areas such as the kitchen and of course ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles are always good quality ideal flooring materials. eramic tiles are certainly worth considering for both bathroom floors and kitchen floors, they are good, strong, durable tiles that will wear well and are easy to clean and maintain. Ceramic tiles can withstand high-traffic areas, they won’t stain and scratch easily and they come in a wide variety of styles. There are also lots of different ways to use ceramic tiles; different patterns can be achieved by using multisized tiles installed in various arrangements.

Glass tiles are not the obvious choice when we think of floor tiles but there are certain types of glass tiles that can be used on floors. Glass tiles are most suited to bathroom floors where floor traffic is lower than the kitchen area. The glass tiles most suitable for the bathroom floor are iridescent glass tiles and those that have a busier pattern; these are less likely to show scratches and marks that happen over time. Glass tiles are non porous tiles and will withstand water levels very well; glass tiles will also add a real sense of style to bathroom areas. Porcelain tiles, much the same as ceramic floor tiles, are incredibly strong and durable and are ideal for high-traffic areas such as the kitchen.

Often Israel’s targeted responses are mentioned without citation of the causes which precipitated them. Pictures depicting only the funeral of a soldier obscure the fact that the majority of both the targets and victims were Israeli civilians. “We wonder why is there no mention in
the media of the fact that despite the terrorist onslaught, goods, construction material, and people continue to cross from Israel to the Gaza Strip? This is happening despite the fact that rockets were launched at both the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings. At the latter, more than 80 truckloads continued crossing every few hours. At the Erez cross-
ing, among those crossing since the escalation were 100 patients and their companions going for medical treatment in Israel. “We once again find it inexplicable that there has not been a condemnation of these murderous attacks by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Is he so consumed with his ill-advised drive to gain
recognition at the United Nations, that he ignores all that is happening? Does he not think these attacks warrant his condemnation? Regrettably, this strongly suggests that Abbas is not ready to assume the responsibilities of leadership and take on the obligations that are essential preconditions for the recognition he seeks,” said Stone and Hoenlein.

The gruesome murder shocked the local Jewish community and the city as a whole, and Aron's lawyers intend to plead insanity. Firetog, an experienced judge who primarily hears murder cases, was responding to the defense team's protests over the disclosures. "The public has a right to see whatever is available," the judge said. "If you have a problem, you should have moved to preclude."
He also slammed the defense lawyers for not restricting Aron's visitors list in Rikers. "You claim your client is incompetent and you're relying on him to make decisions?" he said. "Please stop." Aron, whose next scheduled court date is next month, wasn't present when his attorneys were chewed out by Firetog.

Zawahiri: Co-opting Syria’s Revolution... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Zawahiri sounded an optimistic note that protesters had supposedly not been impressed by American sanctions. “I believe you not to have been fooled by the plots of the global hegemony and the ruses of the new Crusades,” he added. “America, who worked with Bashar al-Assad throughout his tenure, now claims to be on your side, after it has seen the earth overcome with the tremors of your anger and after its plans were foiled in Tunisia and Egypt by the loss of two of their most important agents!” The United States has had sanctions on Syria since 2004 and has increased them in recent months. Zawahiri also accused Washington of trying to take control of the revolution to protect
Israel, a country which is universally unpopular in Syrian society. “Washington today seeks to replace Assad, who sincerely guarded the borders of the Zionist entity, with another regime which will end your uprising and Jihad, a government which will grant the Ummah some of their rights, but in essence will still be obedient to America and will safeguard the interests of Israel,” he said. Syrians have a responsibility to rise up and shout out to America about its hypocrisy, al-Qaeda’s new leader said. “Tell America and Obama that you are the children of great conquerors, the progeny of Mujahideen… Tell them you are waging a war of liberation and freedom—liberation
from the corrupt idolic tyrants and liberation for the Muslim lands. “Tell them that your blessed anger and awesome uprising will never settle, Allah willing, until you raise the victorious flag of Jihad over Mount Scopus in our beloved and usurped land of Jerusalem,” he stated, focusing on a target that had been a part of Israel since its founding. One of the obvious gaps in al-Qaeda’s propaganda is its lack of a physical presence in Syria. Zawahiri addressed this by claiming that his fighters were busy fighting against the “new crusades,” and that they were held back by “borders and restrictions penned by Sykes and Picot, then sanctified by our
[Arab] rulers.” However, he consoled Syrian Islamists by saying that Syria is “the land of Islam and martyrdom” and it “has enough mujahideen for themselves as well as others.” If al-Qaeda has its way, Syrian efforts to topple Assad will open a new battlefront with America and Israel. “May Allah reward you with the best of rewards, on behalf of Islam and the Muslims,” Zawahiri concluded. “May the Majestic reward you, O sons of Damascus, the Glory of the East begins with Damascus!”

The proposed measures include an enhanced arms embargo and a travel ban on 21 individuals, but not Mr. Assad or his younger brother. Earlier Tuesday, opponents of Mr. Assad formed a “national council” they say will coordinate efforts to oust the embattled leader. Activists meeting in Turkey announced the group's formation but they provided few details on the group's make-up. Meanwhile, U.S. ambassador Robert Ford has made a surprise visit to the Syrian town of Jassem, where security forces have carried out several deadly crackdowns on dissent. Ford traveled to the town in the Dara'a region on Tuesday. The visit comes a month after Ford and French ambassador Eric Chevallier angered Syrian officials by visiting the flashpoint city of Hama. The move prompted the Syrian government to impose travel restrictions on the two envoys. The Associated Press says Ford received permission from Syria to make Tuesday's trip. In a separate development, the U.N. Human Rights Council approved a resolution that calls for an investigation into possible rights violations committed by Syrian security forces. The council's action comes one day after rights groups said Syrian forces killed eight people as hundreds of protesters rallied against President Assad.
The United States, the European Union and other Western powers have said that Mr. Assad must step down. The Syrian leader has defended his crackdown by describing the opposition as armed gangs and terrorists. He also said criticism from Western countries means nothing to him. VOANEWS.COM

YU’s Counterpoint Brazil program engaged Jewish teens incorporated a Shabbaton, Jewish learning, and outdoor activities, as seen here. A group of eight Yeshiva University students traveled to Sao Paulo, Brazil, from Aug. 3 through Aug. 18 as part of YU’s Center for the Jewish Future (CJF) Counterpoint Brazil program—a servicelearning initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of Jewish youth. ounterpoint empowers teens to discover their heritage, own their identity, and kindle their passion for Judaism,” explained Aliza Abrams, assistant director of CJF’s department of service learning and experiential education. “The result is a joyous mixture of lasting friendships and Jewish pride.” Following the success of last year’s inaugural mission to Brazil over the Sukkot holiday, the local Jewish community and Colegio Iavne—a Jewish day school in Sao Paulo— asked YU to return. Over the course of two weeks the Counterpoint team conducted several interactive Jewish identity seminars, workshops, and a Shabbaton for local high school students, as well as a memorable

Led by Abrams, the Counterpoint Brazil team included YU students Adam Berman, Ezra Blaustein, Benjamin Blumenthal, Adina Borg-Blaustein, Nora Ellison, Rebekah Friedman, Zach Mammon, and Elianna Pollak. “The CJF runs programs in which a student has the opportunity to truly experience the methodology of experiential learning and see the results of it firsthand,” said Ellison, of San Diego, CA. “My experience has been very positive and I am now considering a career in teaching,” said Pollak, a native of New York City who took part in a CJF program to Germany last year. “Informal education had not been my area of focus but I wanted to take this chance to experience a different and dynamic approach to education.

The group also met with local rabbis, lay leaders, and members of the community. “It is very important to show our students that it is possible to study in the university and in the Yeshiva at the same time,” said Carmia Kotler, Hebrew coordinator at Colegio Iavne. “This kind of experience can increase the possibility of our students returning to the community after university and adding a lot to Jewish community life.” The Counterpoint program has existed for more than 35 years, affecting the lives of tens of thousands of Jewish teens worldwide
my desire to go into the education world has only been strengthened.” To learn more about the CJF and its upcoming programs visit www.yu.edu/cjf. Yeshiva University Center for the Jewish Future’s mission is to shape, enrich, and inspire the contemporary Jewish community by convening the resources of Yeshiva University and inspiring students with a spirit of leadership and sense of Klal Yisroel; Build, cultivate, and support communities and their lay and rabbinic leaders and creating a global movement that promotes the values of Yeshiva University.

“ENCORE” LIGHTS UP THE NEW JERSEY NIGHT BY FERN SIDMAN WITH PHOTOS BY DAVID J. SUTTON
A cast of close to 60 exceptionally talented community performers lit up the night at the storied Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey on Tuesday evening, August 16, and once again on Wednesday evening, August 17, as the much-heralded annual “Encore” variety show was presented to overflowing audiences. ounded in 2005, “Encore” is an open forum for performers of all stripes to express their varied talents. Developed and produced by the Morris and Paulette Bailey Sephardic Community Center (SCC) of Brooklyn, New York, “Encore” features vocalists, dancers, comedians, instrumentalists, and other artists in a collaborative effort to communicate their creativity and passion for their own particular specialty with others who share a deep appreciation for the arts. “Encore is more than just another variety show or talent exhibition,” said Sheila Mizrahi, a director of Encore. “The annual summer Encore presentation in New Jersey features those serious performers who have assiduously studied their craft and have tirelessly rehearsed the whole year through for this performance so our audiences are watching ‘the cream of the crop’,” she said. Presenting a wide selection of musical genres including pop, oldies, jazz, opera, and even international music such as Hebrew and Spanish songs, Encore offers “something for everyone,” according to Mizrahi. While most performers originate from the Sephardic communities of Brooklyn and Deal, New Jersey, Encore is open to all Jewish artists ages 5-75. The annual summer Encore presentation features adult artists ranging in ages 18 and up. Additionally, the Encore Junior program features a virtual panoply of child prodigies ages 9-17 taking part in its junior talent shows. Besides Mizrahi’s finely tuned directorial talents, Encore’s other incredibly dedicated and creative directors include Sheila Schweky, Nadine Shalom, and Sonja Cabasso. Together, they have assembled a stellar cast of artists for the two-hour Encore performance in New Jersey, known in common parlance as the Jewish version of “American Idol.” With great enthusiasm, Mizrahi said, “the palpable creativity and the support system that these performers have is truly amazing. When they engage in this kind of collaborative effort, the differences between people just disappear as they are unified under the umbrella of artistic excellence. Just watching these people take the stage and relishing in their tremendous accomplishments makes us all so very
F
proud.” “I guess what makes this year’s Encore summer performance so special is the fact that the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank has such a professional lighting and sound system and that enhances the work of our performers. Our artists couldn’t be happier that they are performing on the same stage as such legends as Tony Bennett, Art Garfunkel, Lyle Lovett, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Bon Jovi,” said Mizrahi. The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, the American Ballet Theater, and the Alvin Ailey Dance Company have also graced the venue’s majestic stage. Named for jazz legend and musical icon William “Count” Basie, the theater opened in 1927 as The Carlton Theater. As Red Bank’s most enduring arts building, this cavernous theater possesses a warm feeling of elegance from a bygone era and as such is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a Major Presenting Organization for the State of New Jersey, by Pollstar Magazine as one of the

For those who enjoy a good belly laugh, Encore also hosted the comedic stylings of 25 community performers at Congregation Magen David of Ocean, NJ (the “West Deal Shul”) back in July of this year. Aptly labeled “Mixed Nuts,” this eclectic group of funny men and women had the crowd roaring with delight. Encore expects to continue its “Mixed Nuts” comedy nights each year. “This past summer we hosted 750 guests to belly-aching laughter,” Mizrahi said. In the fall, Encore will start its “Encore

During the summer of 2008, the theater closed for an $8 million dollar renovation that included restoration of the plasterwork, decorative painting, infrastructure and HVAC work, and new carpeting and lighting, all of which restored the theater to its former glory. According to Mizrahi, Encore’s school of music offers lessons on a wide variety of

The school services students ages 5-75 for individual or group lessons, running yearly recitals showcasing accomplishments. The school features 14 practice rooms for bands to jam and collaborate on artistic projects. The “Encore Jr.” show, which takes place at the Walt Whitman Theater of Brooklyn College, features over 125 talented children and teenagers in such disciplines as voice, music, dance, comedy, and acting. Encore Jr. is produced by Mizrahi, Schweky, and Shalom, and directed by Cabasso and Monique Chera. It is at this venue that Mizrahi says these artists are afforded the opportunity to “execute their own material and truly express themselves in their own unique style.” “Encore Unplugged” had been a new program developed once the Encore Jr. show ended in March. These kids wanted to get together on a weekly basis to simply continue the creativity and fun they had jamming, singing, and playing instruments individually and together. Encore’s dance troupes are grouped according to skill level for further development and enhancement in specific areas of dance. There are concentrations in ballet, tap, lyrical, jazz, and even urban street danc-

Skit-writing and improvisation workshops are always something many talented people enjoy while bolstering self confidence through laughter. The School of Comedy plans to start community roasts, which, said Sheila Mizrahi, are “sure to be hilarious,” and “comedic intimate concerts” on Saturday evenings at the SCC. On Sunday, August 21, Encore hosted its first annual “Dealstock” live concert and BBQ event for young single adults. This year’s show was moved from its outdoor location to Asbury Park’s Berkeley Hotel due to weather conditions. This event was produced by Mizrahi and Chera along with Morris Jerome and Helen Shamah, with musical talent directed by Shirley Chera and Tunie Betesh. About 400 singles gathered together, spread out on blankets and beach chairs, singing and hugging one another through love of song. They cheered on and supported the amazing talent and abilities of their peers. “Good food, good fun, and happiness was felt by all!” Mizrahi said.

TOP TEN LAST-MINUTE SUMMER GETAWAY IDEAS for Every Traveler & Budget, From Beach Bum to Culture Enthusiast
Labor Day is quickly approaching and all summer you’ve been dreaming of laying on the beach, hiking in the mountains, or visiting the world’s top landmarks. If you haven’t planned your summer getaway, there’s still time, and procrastinators may be rewarded with last-minute deals in the U.S. and abroad. Travel Editor Kerrin Sheldon from Wanderfly.com, a travel recommendation site, offers his top 10 end-of-summer trip picks for every traveler - from the nature lover to culture buff and beach bum.
es and snorkeling opportunities in the entire state. Before the summer ends, West Coasters may be lucky enough to snag round-trip tickets to everyone's favorite state for under $400. We recommend round-trip tickets for two, a beachside cottage, and a little romance to close out your season of summer lovin'. Mid-September: Flights from LA: $400; Flights from NYC: $670.
For the History and Culture Buff: Cusco, Peru
veryone dreams of that perfect summer vacation, but taking time to plan it is often a major chore as research shows the vast majority of travelers don’t know exactly where they want to go when they start the planning process,” said Kerrin Sheldon. “Wanderfly helps people cut through the clutter of travel choices and suggests trips based on each person’s specific interests and budget to inspire people to get going and travel more.”
“E
For the Budget Conscious Traveler: Washington, D.C. Not only is D.C. one of the most visited American cities, it can also be done on a strict budget. That is because most of its main sites (national monuments, war memorials, and Smithsonian museums) are everyone's favorite price: free. For those living on the East Coast, ditch long airport lines and rising flight prices and opt instead for bus travel. Both Megabus and Bolt Bus offer four-hour trips from NYC for around $10 (could be less or more depending on how far
in advance tickets are purchased), and travelers get free Wi-Fi the whole trip down! Flights from LA: $330; Flights from NYC: $139.
Denver, Colo. Destinations that cater to budget-conscious travelers have to boast plenty of free activities, and in that respect, Denver delivers. Denver boasts a large collection of free summer festivals and also has plenty of lowcost or free tours, including a tour and hike around Red Rocks Amphitheater and a free tour through Coors brewing process. Denver's location in the Rocky Mountains also allows for free hikes and outdoor activi-
ties aplenty, perfect for a late summer vacation. Flights from LA: $204; Flights from NYC: $322.
For the Outdoor Enthusiast: Pacific Northwest, USA/Canada The United States' northwest is a nature lover’s dream. As the summer winds down, Portland's beautiful natural setting and central hub is perfect for exploring Oregon's top parks, including Mt. Hood National Forest. Buzz up to Seattle and Vancouver to get into that sea kayak or sailboat a few more times before summer ends. Vancouver is especially popular for sea kayaking, with tours abounding throughout the city and the chance to see Killer Whales at the height of whale-watching season. Flights from LA to Seattle: $200; Flights from NYC to Seattle: $400
USA National Parks Traveling at the last moment can often be expensive, as rates usually spike as your travel time gets closer. Rectify the problem by ditching traditional air transportation, hotels, and that luxurious twelve-pillow selection by getting in touch with Mother Nature. Go camping! The United States boasts the finest national park system in the world. For West Coasters, head to the big three: Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. For East Coasters, check out the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina or Acadia in Maine, both of which boast perfect weather for end of summer hikes. Your stress-levels and monthly budget will thank you. Flights from LA to Yellowstone: $290; Flights from NYC Yellowstone/Yosemite: $440/$420
For the Beach Bum: Outer Banks, N.C. Often overlooked for the party, springbreak epicenter that is Myrtle Beach to the south, North Carolina's Outer Banks are filled with long, white sandy beaches and beautiful, clean ocean. Known as OBX, the Outer Banks are great for beach loungers and watersport fanatics alike. With the summer winding down, now is the time to strap on your waterskis, board your jetski, or strap on your floaties to enjoy the beach and ocean life a few more times. Flights from LA: $480; Flights from NYC: $190.
Maui, Hawaii Hawaii is much cheaper to travel to than it was even a year ago, especially for West Coasters. Maui has some of the finest beach-
One part adventure-town, and two-parts historical relic, Cusco is one of the most vibrant and culturally stimulating cities in South America. Nestled high in the Andes Mountains and a mere bus ride from the famed Machu Picchu, Cusco's historical significance will satisfy any history buff. Walk among ancient Incan ruins and trails, tour the city's Plaza de Armas, and climb the surrounding mountains to get incredible panoramas. Plane tickets will often be cheaper if you fly into Lima rather than Cusco, so make sure to check this route as well. From there, bus rides and internal flights can get you to the ancient Incan city in the mountains. Flights from LA to Cusco: $1100; Flights from NYC to Cusco: $750
Paris, France The end of August and early September is one of the finest times to visit Paris. The famous Parisian streets, cafes, and vendors remain on the street but exude a new excitement by the coming of a new season. As the tourist-seasons of summer winds down, airfare and hotel prices will take a slight drop as well, making September one of the best months to visit the most popular city in the world. Flights from LA: $1100; Flight from NYC: $750.
For the Nightlife Lover: City Hopper: Reykjavik, Iceland to Amsterdam, Holland Thanks to an awesome promotion by Icelandair, you can now experience two cities for the price of one by stopping over in Reykjavik, Iceland -- for free! -- on your way to one of Icelandair's multiple European destinations (we recommend Amsterdam for a great end-of-summer trip). Icelandair is offering a one-night layover in Reykjavik with a limited-time offer to stay at the Reykjavik Natura hotel for free! That's a free night in the most northerly capital in the world, where you can spend your night indulging in Reykjavik's historic nightlife. Head to the cultural district and get on the dance floor at Nasa, the country's most famous music venue and dance club.
Amsterdam, Holland The following day, soak away the prior night's party in the Blue Lagoon before boarding the plane to Amsterdam, where an even livelier and storied nightlife awaits. While the Red Light District grabs the headlines, check out the clubs and bars surrounding Leidseplein Square or go to the even classier Rembrandtplein Square to hop around glamorous clubs and raging discos. With the summer winding down and the days growing shorter, September is one of the best times to explore the nightlife of both Reykjavik and Amsterdam. Flights from Los Angeles: $1217 (including free stopover in Iceland); From NYC: on Wfly: $939 (including free stopover in Iceland). Go straight to Icelandair for the layover deal.

DELTA AIR/SAUDI CONTROVERSY RESOLVED After Meeting at SWC, Delta Formally Declares: “We will not request... religious affiliation”
Following weeks of mounting criticism from Jews, Christians, Hindus, and others, Delta Airlines has put in writing that it will never request that its customers disclose their religious affiliation. A letter to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, from a Senior Vice President, read in part, “Delta employees do not currently and will not in future, request that customers declare their religious affiliation. We would also not seek such information on behalf of any SkyTeam partner or any airline.” he controversy began shortly after it was announced that Saudi Arabian Airlines was joining the SkyTeam Alliance of airlines, which includes Delta. Initial concerns expressed that Delta might facilitate the Saudi government’s requirement that travelers disclose their religion were heightened when a Delta spokesperson wrote that the airline “must comply with all applicable laws in every country it serves” because it would face fines if a passenger arrives at a destination without proper documents. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, wrote an open letter [published June 24 –Ed.] to Delta Airlines CEO Richard Anderson, slamming the response. “I know that Delta cannot make any sovereign nation change its laws, but did anyone hold a gun to your head to cut this deal?” Rabbi Cooper wrote in his letter. “Did you utter a word of protest during your negotiations with your partners over the Judenrein policies of Saudi Arabia? Did you ask Secretary of State Clinton to try to intervene
T
in this matter?” Rabbi Cooper continued, “What is already clear is that Delta has broken the trust of American Jewry and degraded the cherished right of religious freedom.” Last week Delta officials met with Rabbi Cooper at Simon Wiesenthal Center headquarters in Los Angeles to clarify the airline’s policy. That meeting was followed by a written commitment. “Delta has now done the right thing, sending a signal to the Saudis that it will not cooperate with Riyadh’s policy of religious apartheid. We hope that all other U.S.-based airlines around the world will declare and follow a similar policy. We also urge the Obama Administration to lead the way in demanding that the Saudis drop their overt policy of religious discrimination,” Cooper concluded. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations, with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe, and the Latin American Parliament (PARLATINO).
THINKING ABOUT MAKING ALIYAH? TALK TO THE VET FIRST BY AYALA BAR Dr. Eytan Kreiner is founder of “The House of Veterinary Doctors” in Israel and CEO at Terminal4Pets—the Israeli Pet Flight Agency. After assisting thousands of newcomers, returning citizens, and tourists to import their pets into Israel, Dr. Kreiner is known as the vet who knows how to make “Pet Aliyah” possible. fter he graduated from the University of Glasgow in Scotland as a certified veterinarian, Dr. Kreiner opened a practice in the city of Maccabim (near Ben Gurion Airport) and focused on orthopedic and eye surgery alongside general veterinarian procedures. Subsequent to a greater interest from clients interested in flying pets to and from Israel, he realized his professional know-how is essential for pet imports and exports. Dr. Kreiner: “The world had turned into a Global Village in which people travel frequently from one side to another. As it became easier for people to immigrate and relocate worldwide, it has become more difficult and even challenging to fly with pets or ship them abroad at a global level. Countries’ rules and regulations had become more and more strict with demand for health certificates, import permits, vaccinations, and even blood tests, and that is before mentioning cargo mandatory and quarantine. Also, the airports’ and airlines’ requirements have become much more demanding when it comes to pet shipping by adding diverse requirements such as airline-approved kennels that have to be secured throughout the flight, strict weight and/or breed limitations, etc.” The public’s demand for pet flight services on one hand and the new rules and standards for shipping pets on the other hand signaled to Dr. Kreiner and his colleagues at the House of Veterinary Doctors that it was time to open a professional pet travel agency that will provide safe, legal, and convenient solutions to ship pets to and from Israel and the whole Middle East region, and
A
Terminal4Pets was established in 2006. Dr. Kreiner: “Our main objective is to provide our clients with optimal pet flight solutions that are ‘custom made’ for each and every one. The comprehensive services we hand out begin with evaluation of the pet’s medical condition in order to determine whether the pet is healthy enough to survive: 1.The flight. 2. The new climate. Then we examine the case thoroughly checking the rules and regulations for pet importation at departure and destination points in relevance to the pet’s breed, medical condition, etc. This is just to determine whether the pet can fly from one country to the other in accordance to regulations at both sides and without jeopardizing the pet.” After the evaluation, the pet flight team starts coordinating the pet shipping process that includes documentation, airline tickets for people and pets, veterinary checks, preventive treatments and vaccinations, kenneling, locating pet boarding facilities for overnight stops, arranging shuttles to and from the airports, and other ground services at the airport. When pets are imported to Israel, hence when they make Aliyah, they are entitled to a free medical check and consultation in regards to preventive treatments and vaccinations according to their new environment. Pets are also entitles to free registration in the Israeli microchip pool according to the requirements stated by the Minister of Agriculture. Dr. Eytan Kreiner: “A dramatic increase in demand for pet flight services [was expected] this summer. According to inside information, 9,000 pets [were] scheduled to be imported or exported to Israel during the summer rush (July-August-September). Last year there were about 8,000 pets flying to and from Israel during those months; hence we are looking at an increase of 11-12 percent. We at Terminal4Pets are looking forward to performing the tasks that are ahead of us and as usual—we are most excited to assist newcomers that arrive with hopes and plans to become Israeli citizens.” Ayala Bar is public relations manager at Terminal4Pets, a pet flight and relocation company based in Israel that offers comprehensive pet flight services including flight tickets, cargo shipment solutions, kenneling, and other services.
