U.S. in New Bid to Broker Mideast Peace Talks BY DAVID GOLLUST

______________________ Victoria Nuland: “We are going to continue to work, to get these parties back to the table. And we’ll continue to work afterwards. This is where we are focused. And as you know, we will continue to oppose any one-sided actions at the U.N.; and we’re making that clear to both sides.” ______________________

A senior U.S. diplomatic team is meeting with Israeli and Palestinian officials in what is widely seen as a last-ditch effort to broker direct peace talks and avoid a confrontation over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations later this month. U.S. officials said Tuesday that a statehood move, over Israel’s objections, would set back peace efforts. fficials say the dispatch of the U.S. team was preceded by a telephone appeal from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to have an open mind about the American diplomatic initiative. The Obama administration is trying to broker an early agreement by the parties to resume direct peace talks and avoid an angry statehood clash at the United Nations later this month. The United States would veto any request in the U.N. Security Council to make a Palestinian state a new member country of the world body. But Palestinians say they are determined to press ahead with a vote to elevate their U.N. observer status in the General Assembly, where the United States has no veto. U.S. officials say such a move would

State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the mission of U.S. envoys David Hale and Dennis Ross is to avoid a

“bad scenario” when the new U.N. General Assembly convenes in New York later this month. “We are going to continue to work right up till the U.N. General Assembly, if necessary, to get these parties back to the table," she said. "And we’ll continue to work afterwards. This is where we are focused. And as you know, we will continue to oppose any one-sided actions at the U.N.; and we’re making that clear to both sides.” White House Middle East adviser Ross and Hale met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday. Hale, who succeeded George Mitchell as

U.S. Middle East envoy in May, goes on to the West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday to meet with Abbas and other Palestinian officials. U.S. sponsored direct Middle East peace talks broke down last year. The New York Times reported Sunday that the Obama administration is trying to lure the parties back to negotiations with proposals derived from President Obama’s Middle East message in May, which called for a two-state solution based on Israel’s pre1967 borders. The newspaper said the new plan would be issued in a statement by the Middle East Quartet - which includes Russia, the European Union and the United Nations as well as the United States. It would be aimed at discouraging potential votes for the Palestinians in the General Assembly and persuading President Abbas to step back from pursuing U.N. action. Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton and Abbas had a good conversation on Monday and that the secretary of state asked the Palestinian chief to “receive the U.S. team with open ears.” A top adviser to Abbas, Yasser Abed Rabbo, said Tuesday there is little the United States can do to change Palestinian plans and that they are going to the United Nations “regardless of objections or pressure.” VOANEWS.COM

Survey: 85% of Palestinian Residents Interested in Cooperation With Israel BY LILACH WEISSMAN 85% of Palestinian residents in the West Bank are interested in cooperation with Israel, according to a survey by Geocartography Knowledge ahead of the regional cooperation conference, chaired by Minister of Galilee and Negev Development Silvan Shalom. he survey examined Palestinian attitudes about cooperation with Israel. It found that as Palestinians' geographical proximity and familiarity with Israel increased, there was greater willingness to

cooperate, and vice versa. The survey asked 1,000 people living between Jenin and Hebron whether they were interested in joint projects with Israel in several fields, including humanitarian aid, emergencies (such as rescue teams in case of fires or earthquakes), sewage, water, and electricity, as well as social issues, such as exchanges of youth delegations and soccer games. Similar to the results of the Palestinian survey, Israeli respondents expressed willingness for greater regional cooperation, but at a lower percentage of 65-80%. While most Palestinians in the West Bank expressed willingness for all types of cooperation, there Defense News

was a marked decline in favor of cooperation in Arab states. 25-40% of respondents in Jordan were interested in joint projects with Israel, and 20% of respondents in Morocco expressed such willingness. The results indicate a reverse correlation between greater information about Israel based on media sources rather than personal familiarity and the willingness to cooperate with Israel. Local pollsters conducted the surveys in the Arab countries; each survey included 1,000 respondents. While the survey found that the decisive majority of West Bank Palestinians want continued relations with Israel, it also shows a gap between the public's position and the

position of the political leaders, who do not want direct official cooperation. For example, the Palestinian national economy minister was fired two years ago after media leaks that he had met Silvan Shalom. Participants at the regional cooperation conference said that most Israeli-Palestinian ties are held through mediators and international parties. The conference gave an award to Quartet Emissary to the Middle East Tony Blair, who is a critical personality in establishing Israeli-Palestinian ties.

Shootout in Crown Heights Innocent Bystander Murdered, Two Cops Wounded

Mayor Bloomberg updates New Yorkers on the shootings of police officers Omar Medina and Avichaim Dicken, September 06, 2011 Photo by Edward Reed JV STAFF WRITERS Two police officers were wounded in a gun battle on Monday night, following Brooklyn’s West Indian Day Parade. onday’s shootout was the latest incident in a surge of violence over Labor Day weekend, during which at least 48 people have been shot, including two fatalities on Sunday night, according to media reports. The violence on Monday night ended in a deadly shootout on Park Place in Crown Heights about 9 PM, when Leroy Webster, 32, shot Eusi Johnson, 29, to death when a fistfight escalated into something worse, say police. A stray bullet from Webster's gun struck 56-year-old Denise Gay, who was sitting on her front stoop nearby with her daughter, in the head, according to reports. Gay was pronounced dead at the scene. Police arrived and Webster began firing at officers, who shot the criminal several times, mortally wounding him, sources said. One witness, 25 year old Dana Kellstrom, told reporters that somewhere in the area of 50-60 shots were fired during the battle. “I saw two people shot down on the ground,” she said, adding “It was incredible. I ran for my life.” Two officers were hit during the gunfight, cops said. One bullet grazed Police Officer Avichaim Dicken’s elbow, and he was taken to Methodist Hospital. Officer Omar Medina, was struck in the arm and chest with bullet fragments, and taken to Brookdale University Hospital. Both officers have been on the force for approximately eight years, and both are reported as being in

stable condition. At a press conference where Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly updated members of the press on the situation,

______________________ Michael Bloomberg: “It was a senseless murder and another painful reminder of how federal officials fail to take the problem of gun violence seriously.” ______________________ Bloomberg announced that the two officers are expected to make a full recovery, before discussing the fate of the thugs who instigated the conflict. “The first criminal shooter is dead,” said Bloomberg. “The second died at Kings County Hospital soon after arriving there.” Lamenting the death of Ms. Gay, the mayor took the opportunity to call for stricter gun control legislation. Bloomberg said he wishes federal officials would come and visit the wounded NYPD officers, and the family of the victim, and “explain why they didn’t want to press for common sense reforms – like closing the gun show loophole. That would save a lot of lives all across this country.” “It was a senseless murder and another painful reminder of how federal officials fail to take the problem of gun violence seriously,” Bloomberg said. “It is a matter of life and death and in this case, the death was of an innocent New Yorker.”

UN REPORT: ISRAELI BLOCKADE OF GAZA LEGAL ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT DETERIORATION IN RELATIONS WITH TURKEY, SAYS NETANYAHU The much-anticipated United Nations report on the Turkish-based flotilla that tried reaching Hamas-run Gaza on May 31, 2010 was released this weekend. It found that Israel’s security blockade of Gaza is legal and appropriate but that Israeli forces that tried to deter the flotilla from reaching Gaza used excessive force. The report, however, states that Israeli commandos that boarded the Mavi Marmara, one of the flotilla’s ships, faced organized and violent resistance. n Friday morning (Sept. 2), Turkish Foreign Minister announced a series of measures against Israel, beginning with the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and the downgrading of bilateral relations to the level of second secretary. Turkey also suspended all military ties with Israel. Ankara says Israel's expression of sorrow over the loss of life aboard the Mavi Marmara is insufficient. At the start of his weekly cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Israel’s stance vis-à-vis the U.N.

______________________ Netanyahu: “I reiterate that the State of Israel expresses regret over the loss of life. I also hope that a way will be found to overcome the disagreement with Turkey.” ______________________

report. He said that “Israel has the full and basic right to defend itself ” and that it is justified in trying to stop weapons smuggling to the Iranbacked terror regime in Gaza, Hamas. “I reiterate that the State of Israel expresses regret over the loss of life. I also hope that a way will be found to overcome the disagreement with Turkey. Israel has never wanted a deterioration in its relations with Turkey; neither is Israel

interested in such deterioration now,” Netanyahu added. Israel and Turkey had developed extensive military ties for more than a decade. Israel gained an ally in the region while Turkey gained access to Israel’s military technology. “The Israeli air force trained in Turkish airspace, and the two countries conducted joint naval exercises," The Washington Post reported. Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also said Turkey may be preparing to challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice. The report found that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and that all products intended for Gaza should be sent in coordination with Israel and the Palestinian Authority via the land crossings. Meanwhile, Turkey’s exports to Israel went up by $2 billion from 2010 to 2011 although political relations soured after the Mavi Marmara incident on May 31, 2010, CNN reported. Weapons contracts will still be honored despite the suspension of military ties and intelligence sharing will continue as well.

ARAB MKS BACK PA OVER ISRAEL ARAB MKS ADVISE PA OFFICIALS IN RAMALLAH TO GO FORWARD WITH Arab lawmakers in the Knesset on Tuesday advised the Palestinian Authority to submit their statehood bid to the United Nations irrespective of whether the United States offers to mediate or not.

MK Ahmad Tibi: “There is no need to head off the Palestinian move in attaining UN statehood recognition.” "I strongly recommend determination and insistence on UN statehood recognition with no way to back off," he said. Jamal Zahalqah, a member of the Israeli Knesset and Head of the National Democratic Assembly, also told Arab media outlets the U.S. attempt will never provide a satisfactory formula. "The Palestinian leadership cannot back off from attaining UN statehood recognition now," he said. "The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) will lose all its credibility should there be any change in the plan and the PNA will never risk this," he said. "Any setback in the Palestinian position will have a serious reaction in the Palestinian street against the PNA," he said.

Zahalqah said a satisfactory formula would require a real change in the Israeli position - and that would require unprecedented U.S. and European pressure on Israel. "This has not and seemingly will not happen," he complained. As the September 20 date for submitting their statehood bid to the UN approaches officials in Ramallah have yet to find ways to deal with a looming US veto in the Security Council - or hardening Israeli rhetoric in the face of PA unilateralism. Last week Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States, said that while Israel has extensive agreements with the PA under the Oslo Accords, it has no agreements with a 'Palestinian government.'

STATEHOOD BID AT THE UN OVER ISRAELI OBJECTIONS

K Ahmad Tibi told reporters in the Arab media, "There is no need to head off the Palestinian move in attaining UN statehood recognition." "The Israeli side is extremely confused, annoyed and disturbed with the Palestinian bid," he said. "The current U.S. attempt is pointless and useless, aimed only at averting the Palestinian UN plan, where the Americans use political and ethical double standards and act under the Israeli demands," he said. "It is unbelievable to see the U.S. and some European countries waging a campaign against the recognition of a Palestinian state which they called for in the first place," he said. "The Palestinian UN plan will confuse the U.S. administration and prove to the entire international community that Obama is a mere tool in the hands of Netanyahu," he said. Ahmed Tibi said that the Americans lack the capability to provide the Palestinians with a real and serious offer or formula. "It will be extremely unwise for the Palestinian leadership to back off under any circumstances," he said. "The damage the Palestinians will suffer should they back off will be far worse than the benefits they would gain," he said. Tibi even criticized PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' earlier promise to study all the offers seriously after officials in Ramallah on Monday said they were unsure how best to proceed with the UN bid.

Rabbi Nixes Annual Uman Trip There is no justification in Jewish law for spending Rosh Hashanah in the Ukraine, Israeli rabbi says BY MAAYANA MISKIN

September 9, 2011

ISRAEL TO BOMB IRAN THIS FALL?

An Israeli rabbi has come out against the increasingly popular custom of married men traveling to the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov in Uman, Ukraine, for the Rosh Hashanah holiday without their families. There is no justification for leaving one’s family to take the trip, Rabbi Ratzon Aroussi told Arutz Sheva. e must extend blessings to every movement that brings Jews back to Torah, each in his own path, particularly in these days of repentance,” he said. “However, we must speak the truth: the unity of the family is above everything else. It is a very precious thing in halakhah [Jewish law].” He quoted a passage from the Talmud in which a rabbi told his student, “If you have a family, stay with your family.”

“W

______________________ Rabbi Ratzon Aroussi: “Unity of the family is above everything else.

The forefathers of our nation are buried here, why go abroad? What about the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Rachel’s Tomb, the tombs of the great and mighty of our nation...?” Rabbi Aroussi, the rabbi of Kiryat Ono

Every Rosh Hashanah increasingly large crowds gather in Uman, the city where the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov is located. and a member of the Rabbinic Council of the Chief Rabbinate, explained that visits to a chassidic leader on holidays can be problematic for the same reason. “The spiritual connection to the Admor [Torah leader –ed.] is important—but not at the expense of your home,” he declared. “Whoever leaves his family and goes to his rabbi or ‘admor’ for the holidays, whether in the Holy Land or even more so, outside the land, is violating halakhah,” he stated. Those who wish to connect to their spiritual leaders on the holiday “should take care to bring their families with them, but G-d forbid that they should leave their families,” he added. Rabbi Aroussi stated that a one-time trip to visit the tombs of rabbis buried outside Israel would be permissible, “because it is a trip undertaken for a holy purpose, in order to kindle the flame of faith.” However, such trips should not be taken on an annual basis, he added, and not on the holidays.

Bushehr, Iranian nuclear plant, according to Robert Baer could be a possible target of an Israeli attack. Continued from Cover are proponents of this kind of military action. Baer's colorful career in the CIA as outlined in his memoir was the basis of the 2005 film "Syriana" starring George Clooney. Baer spoke of his perspective on the remarks made by former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who left the Israeli intelligence agency in September of 2010 and who was recently quoted in the Haaretz newspaper as saying that an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be "the stupidest thing" he could imagine. According to the paper Dagan commented on what would transpire in the aftermath of an Israeli attack. "It will be followed by a war with Iran. It is the kind of thing where we know how it starts, but not how it will end. The Iranians have the capability to fire rockets at Israel for a period of months, and Hezbollah could fire tens of thousands of grad rockets and hundreds of long-range missiles," he said. Baer predicts that the Israeli Air Force would attack Natanz and other nuclear facilities to degrade their capabilities. He then says that the Iranians will "strike back where they can: Basra, Baghdad and even Afghanistan." Of U.S. military preparedness, Baer says, "Our special forces are already looking at Iranian targets in Iraq and across the border in Iran which we would strike. What we're facing here is an escalation, rather than a planned out-and-out war; it's a nightmare scenario. We don't have enough troops in the Middle East to fight a war like that. I think we are looking into the abyss." When queried as to why the U.S. military is not working overtime to prevent this "war" from occurring, Baer said that "the military is opposed, and so was the civilian head of the military, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who used his influence to thwart an Israeli attack during the Bush and Obama administrations. But he's gone now and there is a warning order inside the Pentagon to prepare for war." Opining that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard would welcome a war, Baer calls them "paranoid" and says that they are "worried about what's happening to their country economically, in terms of the oil embargo and other sanctions. And they are worried about a population that increasingly despises the regime." Baer's pronouncements however are not new, having been echoed by others including

Atlantic Magazine writer Jeffrey Goldberg who predicted the same in a September 2010 article. According to the Business Insider web site, "There's no evidence to believe that Baer's warning is any more prescient or authoritative than previous ones." In an attempt to backtrack, Baer, writing for Time.com said his remarks were an offthe-cuff response to a hypothetical question about when Israel might choose to attack Iran, assuming it had already made the decision to act unilaterally. He writes: "And when the talk-show host asked me when I thought this hypothetical attack might hypothetically occur, I blithely suggested September. I was only adding two plus two: a September attack would allow Netanyahu to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities and wreck plans for a U.N. vote on Palestinian statehood, which is slated for September." He also acknowledges that his comments were made with no inside knowledge of Israeli planning and that media spotlight on his comments was totally out of line with the degree of seriousness to which his stature as a retired CIA officer should be afforded. Baer reflects that his remarks may have “accidentally kicked a hornets’ nest” and states that, "I’d certainly never claimed a back-door access to Netanyahu’s inner circle that would give me any privileged knowledge about a planned attack." Former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said, “the Arab Spring has sufficiently complicated Israel’s strategic calculus that it is more likely to show restraint in the immediate term” and when pressed to respond to Baer's assertions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Al-Arabiya, "I don’t even confirm it because there’s nothing to deny and nothing to confirm. It’s not a real issue."

Diplomatic Tensions Between Tutkey and Israel Escalate

Congresswoman Aims to Alter U.S. Funding of UN Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has proposed a bill that would make the U.S.’s dues payments to the UN voluntary, with the effect of causing the UN to change the way it operates. The bill would also allow the U.S. and other UNmember states to choose what parts of the UN they wish to fund.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu: the report described the Israeli attack as ‘excessive and unreasonable‘ and the deaths and injuries caused by Israeli soldiers as “unacceptable.” by the International Court of Justice. Turkey called back its ambassador to Israel immediately and demanded Israel to make a formal apology, pay compensation to the families of the victims, and to end its blockade over Gaza. The United Nations established an inquiry panel to examine the incident. The UN panel’s long-awaited report, expecting to be handed over to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday, declared that Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip was legal and appropriate, but that the raid of the flotilla was “excessive and unreasonable.” Earlier, a copy of the 105-page report has been obtained by the New York Times. In response to the report on the flotilla, Davutoglu said the report described the Israeli attack as ‘excessive and unreasonable‘ and the deaths and injuries caused by Israeli soldiers as “unacceptable.” However, the report also said that Israel’s blockade against Gaza is legitimate, which was not unacceptable to Turkey, said Davutoglu, claiming the blockade “inhumane.”

Mubarak Trial Resumes With Mayhem, Police Testimony A senior police officer has testified in the trial of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak that he was not aware of any order to shoot live ammunition at protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square during the uprising that led to the president's ouster. eneral Hussein Moussa said at the resumption of Mubarak's trial Monday that police used tear gas and rubber bullets but only resorted to live ammunition when defending police stations. Moussa defied expectations by saying he had heard no instructions to use deadly force. Prosecution lawyers were visibly stunned by the testimony, and accused him of changing his story from the affidavit he had initially submitted to the court. Mubarak has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ordered the killing of 850 protesters during the uprising that drove him from power earlier this year. He is also facing charges of corruption and abuse of power. The officer's testimony bolsters claims by Mubarak's backers that he did not orchestrate the violence. Some people following the case reacted angrily to Monday's testimony and claimed it was changed due to pressure from the

A PROMINENT MEMBER OF CONGRESS HAS THE UN IN HER SIGHTS—PARTICULARLY THE WAY THE U.S. FUNDS THE ORGANIZATION

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Friday that Turkish-Israeli diplomatic relations would be downgraded to the level of second secretary. n the light of a UN report on last year’s Gaza-bound flotilla raid, which includes accusations against both Israel and Turkey, Davutoglu announced at a press conference that his country would further reduce diplomatic relations and suspend all military ties with Israel as the Jewish country refused to apologize for the attack. This means Turkey will recall its ambassador to Israel and replace him with not even a consul, but a second secretary, a lower diplomatic rank. Israel’s ambassador to Turkey will also be required to return home. The expulsion of Israeli ambassador is just one step in many possible measures taken against Israel if it still refuses to apologize for the flotilla raid incident, Turkish President Abduallah Gul said in Turkey’s largest city of Istanbul on the same day. Gul’s comments came hours after the Turkish foreign minister announced the downscale of diplomatic relations with Israel, saying the move was a direct response to Israel’s refusal to apologize for the deaths of nine Turkish nationals in the May 2010 raid. On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos raided a flotilla whose aim was to break the Israeli naval blockade on Gaza, which was in place to prevent arms and war materials from reaching the Hamas terror organization, which rules the Gaza Strip. The defensive raid claimed the lives of nine Turkish nationals, one of whom was a U.S. citizen. “Turkey, as a country with the longest coastal line in the Eastern Mediterranean, will take every necessary measure pertaining to freedom of navigation,” Davutoglu said. Davutoglu said that Turkey did not recognize Israel’s blockade over Gaza; moreover, it would demand such issue to be reviewed

The bill would give the UN two years to reform its funding structure before the U.S. would withhold funds. Such restructuring would require the UN’s budget to be no less than 80 percent voluntary. After that time, if such reforms are not put into place, the U.S. would hold back 50% of its portion of the UN budget.

9/11 Conspiracy Theories Still Persist Ten Years Later BY SEAN MARONEY

"People who normally were not our best friends were saying, ‘We’re with you. We understand what you’ve been through.’” But he says the United States lost much of this goodwill when it went to war with Iraq, a country most believe was not involved in the September 11 attacks.

In the decade since television cameras caught hijacked airliners crashing into buildings in New York and outside Washington, conspiracy theories about who was behind the terror attacks have persisted around the world.

Muslim opinion

nd some of these theories question whether the al-Qaeda terror network had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks. People’s attitudes about the United States often influence their beliefs about 9/11 more than the facts themselves.

Al-Qaeda's role The United States and most governments around the world have long blamed al-Qaeda for the events of September 11, 2001. The late al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, even

______________________ PIPA director Stephen Kull: “Researchers then correlated the survey results with the peoples’ attitudes toward the United States. Those with a more negative attitude were less inclined to believe that al-Qaeda carried out the attacks. ” ______________________ admitted responsibility for the attacks. But during the past decade, some people have argued against this explanation. In fact,

United Airlines Flight 175 collides into the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York as smoke billows from the north tower on September 11, 2001. if you begin typing "9/11" into an Internet search engine, one of the top five choices that pops up is "9/11 conspiracy." And some of the more bizarre conspiracies go so far as to accuse the United States of attacking itself, or speculate that Israel carried out the attacks in a plot to discredit Muslims.

"And even among countries like our NATO allies, the majorities were not very large, in no cases more than two-thirds. So what we have here really is a lack of consensus around the world.”

International opinion

Kull says researchers then correlated the survey results with the peoples’ attitudes toward the United States. Those with a more negative attitude were less inclined to believe that al-Qaeda carried out the attacks. Graeme Bannerman, formerly of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says he believes the study’s findings would have been different immediately after 9/11. “I think the rest of the world supported us at first. I think everybody was American. Everybody sided with us," Bannerman said.

In 2008, researchers with the Program on International Policy Attitudes spoke with people in 21 countries around the world, asking them who they thought was behind the 9/11 attacks. PIPA director Stephen Kull says the survey results were surprising. “About half of them had a majority that said something like al-Qaeda," Kull said.

Attitude factor

After the U.S.-Iraq war, negative attitudes toward the United States increased sharply in Muslim countries. In 2008, a majority of people polled in the Middle East said either that al-Qaeda was not responsible for 9/11, or that they did not know who was. A Pew Research Center survey this year found that a majority of Muslims polled still do not believe Arabs were responsible. Ishtiaq Ahmad a Pakistani expert in international relations, says negative attitudes toward America in the Muslim world are not only caused by U.S. foreign policies. Ahmad says ruling elites, especially in Pakistan, encourage those negative attitudes by playing down U.S. assistance and blaming America and the West for their own domestic failures. “Basically, there is public anger against the rulers and they find ways and means to shift this anger to other great powers such as the United States. The same has been the case in Egypt, in Saudi Arabia, in the Gulf, in Pakistan. And therefore this conspiracy mindset, even some 10 years after the events of 9/11 one notices has not gone away, rather in some aspects it has aggravated,” he explained. But Ahmad says it may be possible to improve the situation. He says a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan and lower profile in other Muslim regions, combined with increased trade and assistance, could begin changing attitudes toward Washington - and possibly put some of the more bizarre 9/11 conspiracy theories to rest.

Local Leaders Call for Disaster Declaration for NYC Post-Hurricane Irene Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and other New York legislators called on President Obama and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) late last week to add Kings and New York counties to the list of eligible places within the president’s major disaster declaration after the devastation of Hurricane Irene, as officially requested by the State of New York. adler, who joined New York’s congressional delegation yesterday in sending an official request to the president, specifically requested wider federal Individual and Public Assistance for Brooklyn and Manhattan. Federal disaster funds are crucial for homeowners, small businesses, and local nonprofits that sustained damage in the wake of the storm. Brooklyn in particular suffered flooding and damage to property and community institutions. “After much of New York City suffered serious damage and flooding as a result of Hurricane Irene, it is critical that Brooklyn and Manhattan not be excluded from federal disaster declaration in any category,” said

______________________ “After much of New York City suffered serious damage and flooding as a result of Hurricane Irene, it is critical that Brooklyn and Manhattan not be excluded from federal disaster declaration in any category” ______________________ Nadler. “FEMA must provide both Public and Individual Assistance to Brooklyn and Manhattan, as Governor Cuomo officially requested. Brooklyn in particular suffered extensive damage from flooded streets and basements and countless downed trees on private property. In my district in Coney Island, numerous homes and community institutions sustained serious setbacks.” The letter to President Obama follows:

August 31, 2011 The Honorable Barack Obama, President of the United States The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Obama: e write to thank you for supporting Governor Andrew Cuomo’s expedited request for a Major Disaster Declaration as a result of flooding and damage caused by Hurricane Irene, which made landfall in New York on August 28, 2011.

Hurricane Irene has caused destruction to both public and private property throughout the East Coast, and comprehensive assistance is vital in order to allow families and local municipalities to deal with the incurred damage. At least six fatalities are confirmed in New York, flooding has damaged infrastructure and homes, and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses remain without electricity. Initial estimates put the cost of the damage at over $6 billion along the entire eastern seaboard. New York State’s initial assessment identified 26 counties damaged by Irene. Nearly 5,000 New Yorkers have been evacuated from their homes and remain in shelters. Reports of catastrophic damage to bridges and roads indicate that the federal government’s assistance is necessary. Local governments need assistance to repair roads, bridges and other infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Residents and small businesses will need help repairing and rebuilding their homes. Many New Yorkers will not be able to afford repairs without FEMA’s Public and Individual Assistance programs and activation of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program statewide. We ask that you continue to oversee the implementation of a FEMA-led response and recovery plan as quickly as possible. Given the scope of the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene, we appreciate that you approved several of the requested counties for Individual and Public Assistance, and ask that you approve all counties requested by Governor Cuomo. The assistance of FEMA and other federal agencies is urgently needed to prevent further infrastructure damage, ensure public health and safety, restore public utilities and transportation systems, and recover from tremendous public and private property damage. Thank you again for recognizing the serious damage caused by Irene and approving Governor Cuomo’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration. For the residents and communities of New York State, this declaration and subsequent federal assistance are necessary to rebuild from the storm. Sincerely, Maurice Hinchey Nita Lowey Paul Tonko Chris Gibson Eliot Engel

UPDATE: FEMA Reverses Desicion Though the outcry by local politicians seeking federal aid for parts of New York City affected by Irene initially seemed to fall on deaf ears, it would appear that hope is not lost. ederal authorities, who had originally spurned New York’s requests for assistance, eventually softened their stance. By Friday, Brooklyn was declared eligible for public relief, as it too was effected by the storm. The following statement was issued shortly thereafter by the

office of Brooklyn BP Marty Markowitz: “FEMA’s decision to add Brooklyn to the list of counties eligible for public assistance for such things as debris removal, emergency protective actions and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities is certainly the outcome we were hoping for. I applaud Governor Cuomo, Mayor Bloomberg, our Congressional delegation, the City Office of Emergency Management and FEMA for listening to our concerns and acting quickly to include Kings County. In these difficult economic times, the assistance will be most welcome.”

WAR ON TERROR Report: Hezbollah Setting Up 90 Miles From U.S. Schumer Calls to Withhold Aid to Libyan Government ...if Lockerbie Bomber Continues to be Shielded from Justice U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on the United States Department of State last Wednesday to condition further assistance to the Libyan Transitional Council, including access to frozen Libyan assets, upon the return to prison of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the Libyan terrorist convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

Only 90 miles separate the USA coastline from the new Hezbollah operations base on Cuba. More than two dozen Hezbollah operatives are setting up an operations base in Cuba, an Italian newspaper reports, with the objective of plotting revenge attacks for the 2008 assassination of former terrorist operations chief Imad Mughniyeh. he operatives will start with a $1.5 million budget, working to make "new contacts, obtain and produce travel documents for various South American countries, recruit informants, and develop relationships with smugglers that move merchandise and are involved in human trafficking," according to a translation of the article in Corriere della Serra. Most of the operatives were handpicked by Talal Hamia, who reportedly runs Hezbollah's clandestine operations. The Lebanese-based terrorist group already has established a vast network of

operatives throughout Latin America, particularly along the Tri-Border Area of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, engaging in drug trafficking and other criminal operations. In addition, Cuban ally Hugo Chavez of Venezuela reportedly held a secret summit last year in Caracas, hosting leaders of Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Dozens of people have been arrested in the United States for providing support to the group. Law enforcement officials fear some of those supporters could be used to launch attacks against American interests ordered to do so by Hezbollah leaders or the group's Iranian patrons. Now Hezbollah appears to be planting seeds in this hemisphere for precisely that reason. REPORT BY IPT NEWS, WWW.INVESTIGATIVEPROJECT.ORG

chumer has previously called on the new Libyan government to return alMegrahi—who continues to live in Libya despite being released from a Scottish prison two years ago on a specious “threemonths-to-live” prognosis—to jail. But on Sunday, Libya’s National Transitional Council said that it would not extradite alMegrahi. Ahead of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s trip to Paris to attend an international conference on ways to help the Libyan opposition, Schumer urged Clinton in a letter to withhold further aid to the rebels if they do not agree to punish al-Megrahi. “If the new Libyan government continues to shield this convicted terrorist from justice, then they should not get one more cent of support from the United States,” said Schumer. “We put American lives and money on the line to help the Libyan people secure their freedom. It’s time the Libyan government lives up to its commitment to create a free and accountable society by handing over al-Megrahi so that justice can finally be done.” On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103, en route from London’s Heathrow Airport to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, exploded over the town of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 on board and 11 people on the ground. Many New Yorkers were among the 189 Americans killed in the bombing. In 2001, 13 years after the bombing, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was the only man convicted for taking part in the bombing and was sentenced to life in prison. He was released by the Scottish Government in August 2009 as a compassionate gesture based on his supposed failing health. However, al-Megrahi still remains alive and media outlets have reported that he has been living at his family’s lavish villa. Since his release, Schumer has been pushing for al-Megrahi to be put back in prison. Last week, Schumer called on the Libyan Transitional National Council to ensure that al-Megrahi received the punishment he deserved. On Sunday, the Justice Minister of the rebels’ Transitional National Council said that the newly formed Libyan government would refuse to extradite al-Megrahi, despite pressure from Schumer and numerous other elected officials. Recent reports have noted pause on the part of Libyan opposition forces to extradite al-Megrahi, highlighting claims of his failing health. Schumer said that this would not be the first time that Libyan officials claimed al-Megrahi was in a “near death” state, and that the American people deserve more verification than the word of local Libyan officials. Ahead of Secretary Clinton’s scheduled attendance this week at the “International

Schumer said that there was no justifiable basis for the rebels’ decision to shield this convicted terrorist and that the opposition’s stated goal of a free and accountable Libya must be backed up not only with words, but deeds. Returning al-Megrahi to prison and holding him accountable for international terrorism would be a significant step in that direction.

IDF Marks 35th Anniversary Gates Says Netanyahu an Ungrateful Ally of Establishment of Shaldag Commando Unit

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates calls Netanyahu an “ungrateful ally,” journalist Jeffrey Goldberg writes

SHALDAG UNIT HAS CONDUCTED HUNDREDS OF COVERT SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN RECENT DECADES A festive ceremony was held last week to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the Shaldag commando unit. he event was attended by Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, as well as other senior IDF commanders. Lt. Gen. Gantz, a former commander of the Shaldag unit, said: “When we look at the threat surrounding us, we need operational capabilities, courage, and good people, and the Shaldag unit has been one of our very significant pillars over the years.” Israel Air Force Commander, Major General Ido Nechushtan, said: “Shaldag is a special unit that operates far from the spotlight and sunshine. [Shaldag] does things quietly and covertly for the security of Israel.” The Shaldag unit, which is part of the Air Force, was established in the wake of the Yom Kippur War under the command of Muki Betser. The unit was created to conduct special operations and it participates in all

dimensions of ground combat. The unit is flexible and ready to conduct missions both during war and peace. Shaldag soldiers must complete a twoyear training course. Each Shaldag soldier serves a total of four and a half years. The Shaldag unit has a remarkable record of operational achievements. Over the past few decades, the Shaldag has conducted hundreds of special operations, the details of which are classified.

"This leads us to the conclusion that through a long-term process, the likelihood of an all-out war is increasingly growing," Eisenberg said. "Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program. The opposite is true; it continues full steam ahead," he said. "In Egypt, the army is collapsing under the burden of regular security operations, and this is reflected in the loss of control in the Sinai and the turning of the border with Israel into a terror border, with the possibility that Sinai will fall under the control of an Islamic entity." "In Lebanon, Hezbollah is growing stronger within government arms, but it has not lost its desire to harm Israel, and the ties with Turkey aren't at their best," He added. Referring to what he characterized as the possibility of a "radical Islamic winter," Eisenberg warned "This raises the likelihood of an all-out, total war, with the possibility of

During his address, Eisenberg admitted new, more lethal arms surfaced in the hands of Gaza terror groups during the latest round of fighting in the area. As result of the disturbing development, Israeli civilians were instructed to adopt greater precautions, he said. "We discovered a new weapon, and as result of this we instructed the public to hide under two roofs, rather than only one," he said.

oldberg, whose columns have been extraordinarily negative towards Israeli nationalists and in favor of most Palestinian Authority demands and the "peace process," quoted Gates as saying that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s refusal to accept American demands in the “peace process” is evidence that Israel is ungrateful. Gates, like most American government officials, often has pledged to bolster Israel’s security but also has stated what he thinks should be Israel’s domestic policies. Goldberg wrote that Gates recently told the National Security Council Principals Committee—in Goldberg’s words, attributed to government sources—“Netanyahu is not only ungrateful, but also endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel’s growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces if it keeps control of the

West Bank.” In fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu has offered to surrender most of Judea and Samaria and expel up to 100,000 Jews living outside major population centers. Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has insisted that all large areas of Jerusalem, including the Old City and Western Wall, as well as all of Judea and Samaria be under its sovereignty. Goldberg railed at Prime Minister Netanyahu for “impudence” by relating his principles to President Barack Obama in a live discussion. The blogger called it a “lecture” that angered the president as well as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other government leaders who were upset that Israel does not accept America’s policies for Israel. Writing that the United States always has gone to bat for Israel, Goldberg wrote that when Gates spoke to the National Security Council committee this summer, he “coldly laid out the many steps the administration has taken to guarantee Israel’s security— access to top-quality weapons, assistance

Obama Again Omits Israel in His List of Countries Suffering Terrorist Attacks JEWISH LEADERS OUTRAGED American Jewish groups, such as the Zionist Organization of America, are outraged as President Obama once again omitted Israel in his list of countries suffering from terrorist attacks. In the talking points issued by the Obama Administration for the forthcoming tenth anniversary of the Al-Qaeda September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C, Israel is ignored as one of the targets of terrorism. n the talking points provided by officials in several government agencies to the New York Times, the following statement appears: “As we commemorate the citizens of over 90 countries who perished in the 9/11 attacks, we honor all victims of terrorism, in every nation around the world … We honor and celebrate the resilience of individuals, families, and communities on every continent, whether in New York or Nairobi, Bali or Belfast, Mumbai or Manila, or Lahore or London” (Thom Shanker & Eric Schmitt, ‘White House Issues Guides on Sept. 11 Observances,’ New York Times, August 29, 2011). This is not the first time that President Barack Obama has omitted mention of Israel as a target of terrorist groups. When running for President, then-Senator Obama said in his Berlin speech, “we can join in a new and global partnership to dismantle the networks that have struck in Madrid and Amman; in London and Bali; in Washington and New York” (‘Obama Speech Transcript: Remarks of Senator Barack Obama (as prepared for delivery) “A World that Stands as One,”

(TASE: AFIL) reported lower net profits on higher revenue for the first half of 2011. evenue rose 47% to $58.2 million in the first half from $39.5 million in the first half of 2010, mainly due to $22.3 million from the operation of AFIMall City in Moscow and residential sales. Net profit was more than halved to $28.7 million in the first half from $63 million in the corresponding half. The mall was opened on May 22. AFI Development reported a net revaluation gain of $20.4 million for the AFIMall City, 4 Winds, Ozerkovskaya Embankment

Before Signing on the Dotted Line... ADVICE ON BUYING A HOME IN ISRAEL

BY GEDALIA BORVICK, MYISRAELHOME.COM Over ten years ago, I wanted to make an offer to buy a house in New Jersey and the agent told me to submit my offer in the form of a signed contract. She explained – and my lawyer subsequently confirmed – that upon the seller’s acceptance of the offer, my attorney retains the right to void the contract and to craft a new agreement during a period of days following signing. Well, let me tell you some facts of life in Israel: do not sign anything–not even an informal letter of intent jotted down on the back of a napkin–without your attorney’s approval! If a document has your signature, it can cause you serious problems.

Legal Implications of a Contract ebbie Rosen-Solow, a real estate attorney with offices in Beit Shemesh providing services throughout the Jerusalem region, and a Ra’anana office servicing the Sharon and Tel Aviv areas, explains that the process of purchasing a house in Israel is very different and far more complex than in the United States. As opposed to most other countries where the majority of legal implications occur upon closing, in Israel the privileges and obligations are shifted from the seller to the buyer upon signing a contract. One implication is that the acquisition tax has to be paid within forty days of contract signing, even if the closing has not yet taken place.

No Post-Contract Grace Period Another fact of Israeli law is that there is no post-contract grace period to allow pur-

chasers to perform due diligence and obtain mortgages. It is therefore crucial that all legal and financial research is performed prior to signing any written agreement, as the Israeli courts have recognized even a memorandum of understanding (or “letter of intent”) as a binding contract.

No Title Insurance There is no title insurance in Israel. Consequently, if conflicting title claims or unpaid mortgages or liens against the property crop up, it may become the buyer’s problem. And these problems happen. I personally know of a case where there were two competing ownership claims; it took many years and large legal bills to finally resolve the dispute. In another somewhat recent transaction, my friend’s attorney missed a title issue and the resulting cloud on title prohibited the buyer from obtaining a mortgage. I share these stories to impress upon the reader that in Israel a good lawyer is worth his or her weight in gold. Debbie Rosen-Solow is one of the outstanding real estate attorneys I recommend to overseas purchasers. She has impressed me with her legal acumen, her ability to protect her clients’ rights against difficult opposing counsel, and her ready accessibility to clients. If you have any questions about purchasing real estate in Israel, please contact her at debbie@rosensolowlaw.com. “My Israel Home” is a real estate agency focused on helping people from abroad buy and sell homes in Israel.

Israeli Economist: Real Estate Market Entering Multiyear Slowdown BY TAL MOISE Meitav Investment House Ltd. chief economist Ron Eichal believes that the Israeli real estate market has entered a slowdown that will last for years, and that home prices may fall. His conclusions are based on last week's housing figures published by the Central Bureau of Statistics, which showed an increase in housing starts in the first half of 2011, and the social protest, which could affect the market. f the government keeps its promises to expand the housing supply, we'll have good reasons to believe that the market could see a slowing in the rise in prices, and even a drop in the coming years," says Eichal. Eichal cites the Ministry of Finance's survey, which stated that new home sales fell 16% in the second quarter compared with the preceding quarter. "The average home price was 3% lower in the second quarter than in the first quarter," he adds. He also cites the Central Bureau of Statistics, which reported that the housing inventory was sufficient for 9.5 months at the end of June, up from 7.5 months at the end of 2010. "There is a reverse correlation between home prices and the months of supply. In addition, the number of housing starts in the first half was 10% higher in the second quarter than in the corresponding quarter." Additionally, Eichal notes the social

protest, which drew 405,000 demonstrators nationwide last night, including 292,000 demonstrators at the main event in Tel Aviv. Eichal says that the Bank of Israel's decision to keep the interest rate unchanged for September is a sign of things to come. "One of the reasons why the Bank of Israel kept the interest rate unchanged was the rise in home prices over the preceding 12 months. The pace of the increase continues to stay high, although it slowed for the second consecutive month... The Bank of Israel will probably keep the interest rate unchanged at least through the end of the year." PUBLISHED BY GLOBES, ISRAEL BUSINESS NEWS - WWW.GLOBES-ONLINE.COM

Senator Lieberman Addresses Capacity Crowd at Inaugural Event for YU’s Strauss Center An audience of more than 1,000 people filled Yeshiva University’s Lamport Auditorium to hear a conversation on Jewish ideas and American Democracy between Senator Joseph Lieberman (I CT) and the director of the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought, Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik on the evening of August 31, the last day of fall orientation. s the first of a series of public conversations on religion and democracy, the event also served as the first public gathering of the fledgling Straus Center, attracting an audience of students, alumni, administrators, faculty and members from the greater Jewish community. Intent on developing a new breed of Jewish thinkers and public intellectuals, the Straus Center functions as a hub for the spreading and nurturing of YU’s motto of Torah U’madda, which combines the traditional ideals of Jewish learning with the great ideas of the Western tradition. In introducing the event, President Richard M. Joel spoke of the Straus Center’s important mission of “making headlines out of what it is we are. What it is we do. And what it is we must be.” President Joel welcomed Lieberman to Yeshiva, referring to him as a “groundbreaking Jew,” “a serious Jew,” and “a member of the family.” Rabbi Soloveichik exclaimed his delight in opening the Straus Center with a Torah observant United States senator, calling

Lieberman, “the perfect person in which to begin our series of public conversations of America and religion.” The senator returned these compliments by sharing his admiration of the Yeshiva mission. “I feel very much at home,” he said. “YU and the Straus Center stand for an important proposition that our mission cannot be narrow, we must reach out [with our Torah ideals].” Using Lieberman’s latest book, The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath, as a springboard for discussion, the conversation revolved around the senator’s

Lieberman recounted the inspiration he felt from the presidency of John F. Kennedy—the first Roman Catholic president—which eventually convinced him to enter politics and noted the great progress made in the realm of religious tolerance in America since that time. An especially crowd-pleasing moment occurred when Lieberman described an encounter he had with former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin days before her televised debate during the 2008 election season. With Palin feeling nervous and off her game, her aides contacted Lieberman, asking him to help calm her as “they both were religious.” He went on to report that he shared an idea of Yeshiva University’s own Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (the great-uncle of the Straus Center’s director) with Palin, which gave her strength and motivation before the debate. The senator closed the conversation by directly addressing the students in the audience, urging them to pursue their desired professions knowing that their faith need not hinder their success. “In this country and at this moment you will never have to choose between living a Torah observant life and your secular professional career,” he said. “Whatever you do, do it with the confidence that the system will respect your observance.” “Senator Lieberman embodies the promise of America,” said Rabbi Soloveichik after

As a Beren Campus student liaison for the Straus Center, Jina Davidovich greatly enjoyed the public dialogue. “It was absolutely fabulous,” she said. “I was extremely impressed by the caliber of the questions and the depth of Senator Lieberman’s responses. They addressed key points important to America and our university while showing how much Judaism has to give to the world at large.” The next Straus Center Conversation will take place in Weissberg Commons on Friday, October 28 at 10 a.m. Entitled “Faith and Democracy in America and Europe,” it will feature the United Kingdom’s Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Founded in 1886, Yeshiva University brings together the ancient traditions of Jewish law and life and the heritage of Western civilization. More than 7,200 undergraduate and graduate students study at YU's four New York City campuses: the Wilf Campus, Israel Henry Beren Campus, Brookdale Center, and Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL

LOYALTY SHOULDN’T BE OPTIONAL As a U.S. citizen educated in our public school system, I still remember the words of the Pledge of Allegiance. Every morning we stood up, placed our right hands over our hearts and declared our loyalty to this democratic republic which, to this day, I firmly believe is the greatest government in existence. ar from perfect, yes, but like Churchill said, democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others. As a Jew, I look forward to the coming of Moshiach, who will right the wrongs and usher in an era where G-d himself (not to be confused with whatever voices the mullahs in Iran hear in their heads when they close their eyes) will rule. Short of that, a democratic system, with its checks and balances, is the finest form of government devised by man, and as a Jew I see no contradiction in taking pride in that. In addition to all of the above reasons I believe an American Jew should take pride in being both an American and a Jew, there is a concept in Jewish Law of “dina demalchuta dina” (roughly: “The law of the land is the law”). In other words, so long as they don’t prevent us from observing G-d’s decrees—for example, the ancient Syrian-Greek bans against Torah study, circumcision, and Rosh Chodesh observance that ignited the Maccabean Revolt—we are required to observe the laws of the nations in which we live, as loyal citizens (or subjects, as the case may be). While “dina demalchuta dina” is a doctrine born of the unique historical predicament in which we Jews have found ourselves, the Children of Israel can hardly claim a monopoly on the ideas of patriotism and civic duty. It is natural for human beings to feel a sense of camaraderie with, and loyalty to the groups to which they belong, be it family, community, or in modern times, nation. There’s a reason I’m bringing up the subject of loyalty here. Now that we’ve established national loyalty as a Jewish value (indeed, a value common to humans in general), there are a few recent incidents that I’d like to shed some light on. In America, kids grow up reciting the pledge of allegiance, and when an adult accepts pretty much any government job (from law enforcement to political office, and everything in between), they swear an oath (or solemnly affirm) to defend the United States and its constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Makes total sense, right? In fact, it seems logical that any country should demand the same loyalty from its public servants. But apparently Israel, the one and only Jewish state, does not. How can this be, you ask? Why shouldn’t the State of Israel only include in its employ those who will seek the welfare of its citizens? The best we can figure is that it’s not politically correct. Take the Arab members of Israel’s Knesset. When media personality Glenn Beck held a series of pro-Israel rallies around the country, MK Muhammad Barakei denounced Beck as a racist, and said “the lessons from Ariel

Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount apparently haven’t been learned.” So apparently the terrorist mini-war for which former Prime Minister Sharon’s Temple Mount visit served as the rationalization was meant to serve as a “lesson” to Israel. But Barakei sure doesn’t sound like he’s speaking for the Israeli government, the one that protects his rights, and oh yeah, writes his paycheck. If one of America’s founding fathers had admonished his peers to “learn the lesson” of the Boston Massacre, I suspect he would have (rightly) lost his seat in the Continental Congress, if not his head. Added Barakei: “There is a danger that the event will lead to people being harmed, and the police should have prevented it.” Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like a threat? More recently, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset (Ha!) Ahmad Tibi has gone on record as encouraging Hamas (Israel’s sworn enemies) to pursue Palestinian statehood at the UN, regardless of the status of negotiations between Israel, the

Let’s see… violation of allegiance to one’s country while giving aid or comfort to it enemies. There has to be a simpler word for it, though. Oh yeah: Treason! All of Israel’s political leaders, Jewish or Arab, should be required to affirm their loyalty to that state. If they opt out of loyalty, they opt out of public service. And if they swear loyalty and subsequently violate the public trust, they forfeit their position—and depending on the extent of their betrayal, are punished accordingly. It’s that simple. The Israelis banned openly-seditious Arab factions from the election back in 2009. They can, and must do so again. This isn’t about race, and it isn’t about religion. Anyone who runs for office with the intent of undermining that office and harming those they were chosen to serve, ought to be removed from office, and executed. Okay, fine, deported. Political correctness is no substitute for ethics and common sense.

Editor: ow can you endorse Bob Turner over David Weprin, a landsman? Shouldn’t Jewish solidarity trump petty political considerations?

I’ve noticed other papers, like the New York Daily News, making a big fuss about how a “small ethnic weekly” crossed “religious lines” to support a gentile candidate. Now, I’ll admit that when I’m seeking out a good or service, and I have two options, one Jewish, one not, and all other things are equal, I’ll go with the Jew. We are essentially one big family, and I see nothing wrong with that. But when there is a tangible difference in the good or service being offered, like, one party conducts business ethically, and

the other does not. Or one party offers a significantly better price than the other for the same service. Obviously I’m going to go with the better deal, or the more ethical deal, or what have you, irrespective of which one it is. In political terms, it means I’m going to vote for the candidate who best represents me and my interests. Whether or not he happens to share my particular faith might work as a tiebreaker, but it’s hardly a central issue. I suspect that some members of the media assume that the Jewish community must be comprised of bigots, because that’s what it is when you put bloodlines before principles: bigotry. They don’t know us very well, do they? Respectfully, Moshe G. New York, NY

Intelligence vs. Evidence It’s Not Going to Go Away Gathering: Knowing the Difference I BY RABBI BEREL WEIN

The Moslem world and its faith as is currently revealed and practiced in universal society is religion run amuck, as much a danger to itself as to others.

BY PATRICK DUNLEAVY COURTESY OF IPT NEWS, WWW.INVESTIGATIVEPROJECT.ORG

There is a new brouhaha stirring among civil libertarians and Islamic organizations in light of the recent Associated Press story regarding the working relationship between the NYPD and the CIA. The article focused on the Intelligence Division of the NYPD and the deputy commissioner who runs it. David Cohen is a former career employee of the Central Intelligence Agency who was appointed by Commissioner Ray Kelly in 2002. erms like “rakers” and “mosque crawlers” were bantered about, painting a picture of unrestrained spying on the citizenry by the government. The authors, Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo, described a purported super-secret section of the Intelligence Division called the “Demographics Unit” whose responsibility was to send undercover officers into predominantly Muslim neighborhoods and gather information by observing the neighborhood. Immediately following story’s release, several spokespersons for the Council on American Islamic Affairs (CAIR) and the Islamic Leadership Council voiced their outrage at what they termed “profiling.” CAIR

staff attorney Gadeir Abbas went so far as to call on the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee to investigate the NYPD. It was not too long ago that these same organizations were accusing the police of entrapment and the use of informants in several thwarted terrorist plots, such as “the Bronx Four” and the “Christmas Tree Bomber” in Portland. As the former Deputy Inspector General of the Criminal Intelligence Division in New York State prisons, I was assigned to work in the NYPD Intelligence Division from 2002 to 2005. In all of my time there, working on numerous cases regarding terrorism and homegrown radicalization, I never heard anyone use the terms “rakers” or “crawlers” when describing human intelligence gathering. In recent conversations with former colleagues who also worked in the Intelligence Division, none of us could recall ever seeing the “Demographics Unit.” So what is true in the article? Fact: There was, after 9-11, a need for all law enforcement agencies to adapt to a new methodology when it came to dealing with the issue of terrorism. There was also a need for the intelligence community to recognize the value of law enforcement’s contribution in the war on terrorism. The melding of these two was on a larger

n spite of all policies, agreements, hopes, and wishful thinking, it should be obvious that the Israeli-Arab dispute is nowhere near solution or accommodation. It really is not about borders, land swaps, or even begrudging acceptance of the two-state solution to the dispute. It is something far deeper, religious in nature, and hardened over centuries of behavior and custom. It basically is that the Jew, the dhimmi, the infidel, has no right to rule over territory that was once under Moslem sovereignty and certainly no right to rule over Moslem people themselves. The inability of Israel over these many decades to face up to this fact has in fact only prolonged and deepened the conflict and made the problem more intractable. It is in reality a biblical epic that we are currently experiencing, not a nice modernday dispute that lends itself to creative diplomacy and realpolitik. In a completely secular world there is no room for biblical epics. The world—and much of the Jewish world as well—believes that the Bible is a storybook and that little of is applicable today. So therefore we find ourselves applying the wrong antibiotic to counteract the true bacteria of hatred and violence that is in reality playing itself out in front of our bewildered eyes. In an op-ed article that appeared in Haaretz, the writer stated in the article that “we are all people.” And that is the crux of the matter and as long as the Jews are not recognized as “people” this dispute is simply not going to go away anytime soon. Religion, per se, is an ambiguous creature. It can be and has been an enormous force for good in human history. However, in the hands of zealots and fanatics, it can be construed to be a most destructive force. The extremists in the world of Islam have created a situation of hatred and violence, not only against Israel and the Jews but also against Christians, especially the Copts in Egypt as well as against Hindus in the Pakistan-India conflict, which continues to simmer after decades. And to further muddy the waters, the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan is essentially a continuation of the millennia-old wars between the Shiite and Sunni brands of Islam while Syria is engulfed in a rebellion against Alawite rule—also a form of heresy to Sunni Moslems—and Libya has degenerated into basic tribal warfare. And all of this is going on without taking into account Iran’s determination to define the Arab world in purely Shiite terms and aQaeda’s attempts to assert Sunni hegemony over all of mankind. This is not an essentially pretty picture of the Moslem world and its faith as is currently revealed and practiced in universal society. This is religion run amuck, as much a danger to itself as to others. Yet the world is hesitant to call these forces to account for their behavior and fanatical beliefs. Whistling past the graveyard now only

_____________________ “The extremists in the world of Islam have created a situation of hatred and violence, not only against Israel and the Jews but also against Christians.” _____________________ guarantees more pain, suffering, and bloodshed in the future. Because of all of the above, I think it safe to say that these problems are not going to go away anytime soon. It took centuries for the religious wars of Europe and Christendom to end. The Arabs are not going away, nor are they likely to have an immediate epiphany and change of heart regarding Israel, the Jews, the Copts, the Hindus, America, etc. This is going to be a very long haul for all concerned. All of the peace plans and agreements fostered until now have proven to be worthless and in fact counterproductive to any form of true peace. The change of heart necessary to create a climate of compromise and accommodation is simply not in the offing in the Moslem world as a whole and certainly not in particular in the Middle East. This bitter truth may sadden us bit, but there is no joy the Talmud teaches us equal to the removal of all doubts and seeing a problem as it is realistically and without wishful thinking and false assessments. The Oslo Agreements, the Wye Agreements, the Hebron Agreement, the fleeing from Lebanon, and the Gaza disengagement all stand out today as bad decisions and examples of woefully poor judgment by world and Israeli leaders. We hoped that these gestures would make the hatred and violence go away. Unfortunately, they did not. It will take a long time and a major change in attitudes and circumstances for hatred and violence to even begin to diminish. Biblical epics last for centuries, not just for months and years.

Obama’s Pretend Counterterrorism Policy word, poorly written, ill-organized White House report vehemently advocating the Islamist/Leftist/multiculturalist position.

BY DANIEL PIPES With trumpets and drum rolls, the White House in early August released a policy paper on methods to prevent terrorism, said to have been two years in the making. Signed personally by Barack Obama and with rhetoric vaunting “the strength of communities” and the need to “enhance our understanding of the threat posed by violent extremism,” the document looks anodyne. ut beneath the calm lies a counterproductive—and dangerous—approach to counterterrorism. The import of this paper consists in its firm stand on the wrong side of three distinct counterterrorism debates, with the responsible Right (and a few sensible liberals) on one side, and Islamists, leftists, and multiculturalists on the other. The first debate concerns the nature of the problem. The responsible Right points to one immense threat, Islamism, a global ideological movement that has motivated some 23,000 terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. Islamists deny that their ideology spawns violence, and they categorize those 23,000 attacks as the work of criminals, crazies, or misguided Muslims. Western leftists and multiculturalists concur, bringing their formidable cadres, creativity, funds, and institutions to support the Islamists’ denial of responsibility. Hearings held this year by the U.S. House of Representatives illustrate this difference. Peter King (Republican of New York), chairman of the Committee on Homeland

Peter King (left) and Bennie Thompson (right) symbolize the difference in counterterrorism policy outlook. Security, insisted on dealing exclusively with radicalization of Muslims. The ranking Democrat, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, took exception, noting that “there are a variety of domestic extremist groups more prevalent in the United States than Islamic extremists, including neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, anti-tax groups, and others.” He requested that the hearings be “a broad-based examination of domestic extremist groups, regardless of their respective ideological underpinnings.” King rejected this request, countering that “While there have been extremist groups and random acts of political violence throughout our history, the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11 and the ongoing threat to our nation from Islamic jihad were uniquely diabolical

and threatening to America’s security.” The second debate concerns how to identify the enemy. The Right and responsible parties generally talk about Islamism, jihad, and terrorism; thus, a New York Police Department report from 2007, Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat, refers in its first line to the “threat from Islamic-based terrorism.” Islamists and their allies talk about everything else—violent extremism, Al-Qaeda and Associated Networks (dubbed AQAN), overseas contingency operation, man-caused disasters, and (my favorite) a “global struggle for security and progress.” The forces of multiculturalism have made deep inroads: A U.S. Department of Defense inquiry looked into the 2009 Ft. Hood rampage by Maj. Nidal Hasan, killing 14, and its report, Protecting the Force, never mentioned the terrorist’s name or acknowledged his obvious Islamist motivation. The third debate concerns the appropriate response. The Islamist-Left-multicultural crowd finds the solution in partnership with Muslims, together with an emphasis on civil rights, due process, lack of discrimination, goodwill, and avoiding a backlash. The responsible Right agrees with these goals but views them as ancillary to the full quiver of military and law enforcement methods, such as intelligence gathering, arrests, long detentions, renditions, deportation, prosecution, and incarceration. Into these three debates waddles a 4,600-

• Nature of the problem? “Neo-Nazis and other anti-Semitic hate groups, racial supremacists, and international and domestic terrorist groups.” • Name the enemy? The paper itself never mentions Islamism. Its title, Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States, avoids even mentioning terrorism. • Appropriate response? “Just as we respond to community safety issues [such as gang violence, school shootings, drugs, and hate crimes] through partnerships and networks of government officials, Mayor’s offices, law enforcement, community organizations, and private sector actors, so must we address radicalization to violence and terrorist recruitment through similar relationships and by leveraging some of the same tools and solutions.” Raising community safety issues reveals a severe conceptual deficiency which the Los Angeles Times dismissed as “implausible.” The report praises the Justice Department’s “Comprehensive Gang Model,” deeming it a flexible framework that “has reduced serious gang-related crimes.”

______________________ “Beneath the calm lies a counterproductive—and dangerous—approach to counterterrorism.” ______________________ Great news in the battle against gangs! But gangs are criminal enterprises and Islamist violence is ideological warfare. Gang members are hoodlums, Islamists are zealots. To compare them distorts the problem at hand. Yes, they both deploy violence, but applying techniques from one to the other is akin to asking pastry cooks to advise firefighters. The lone sentence in Empowering that recognizes the danger of Islamism fixates on one small group, stating that “al-Qa’ida and its affiliates and adherents represent the preeminent terrorist threat to our country.” This ignores the 99 percent of the Islamist movement unconnected to al-Qaeda, such as the Wahhabi movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Iranian gov-

Students Plan Boycott of Osem and Tnuva Boycotts against Supersol and Mega Continue

BY ILANIT HAYUT After forcing Shufersal (Supersol) Ltd. to reduce prices on 30 products, food manufacturers are now being targeted by students. The Tel Aviv University student union decided to call a new boycott against one of the food manufacturers, apparently Tnuva Food Industries Ltd. or Osem Investments Ltd. (controlled by Nestle) and is currently making last minute preparations before the announcement. e very much hope to reduce prices in one of the departments: milk, cereal or another product," Tel Aviv University Student Union Chairman Ran Livneh told Israel’s Globes Business News.

“W An Israeli company helped turn al-Jebreni farms, near Hebron in the West Bank, into a state-of-the-art dairy farm. Dr. Ismail Jebreni, the owner, said Israeli technological know-how made his dairy farm one of the "largest, most modern companies" in the West Bank. He now has 250 employees—up from 20—and has 1,200 cows. “Despite setbacks, cooperation between Israel and its neighbors exists – and it can go on,” said Israel’s Vice-Prime Minister and Minister for Regional Development Silvan Shalom at a conference on regional economic cooperation in Tel Aviv Monday. Shalom pointed out that regional cooperation exists on many levels - official, public and private – and that direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians would only improve the situation. The theme of the conference was business paving the way to peace. otable leaders, including Israeli President Shimon Peres, stressed the important role security plays in developing economies. Special Envoy for the Middle East Quartet Tony Blair said he is optimistic about Israeli-Palestinian peace. “Economics could never be a substitute for politics. However, what we’ve been trying to do over the past few years is significant. You don’t make peace by people sitting in rooms. People make it,” explained Blair. He added that the potential for economic growth is enormous, “particularly if there is [a peace] agreement” among Israelis and Palestinians. Blair cited joint Israeli-Palestinian achievements, such as the Jalameh vehicular crossing that has connected communities in the northern West Bank to the Arab communities in northern Israel, helping to revitalize the economy of the West Bank city of Jenin. Opened recently with Israeli, U.S. and Quartet assistance, the crossing facilitates commerce and movement to Jenin - approximately 15,000 Israeli Arabs move to and from Jenin each day and tourist buses from Israel also enter the West Bank through the crossing - a factor that contributed to Jenin’s 16 percent growth in the first half of 2011. As the Quartet representative, Blair highlighted tourism as a means for attracting greater investment in the Palestinian territories. France’s special envoy to the Middle East peace process for economic, educational and cultural aspects Valerie Hoffenberg echoed Blair’s sentiment. Hoffenberg stated that through cooperation with various Israeli ministries, the Palestinian government was able to successfully create an industrial zone in Bethlehem that is already in its second year. “We have to prepare for the day ‘after,’ ” said Hoffenberg, referring to an action plan

that goes beyond the Palestinian push for a unilateral declaration of state at the United Nations in September. “The spirit of cooperation and collaboration must continue. Going to the U.N. in September is not the answer; we are worried about what happens after September and that it could endanger some of our projects,” explained Hoffenberg. Palestinian businessman Dr. Ismail Jebrani, who now runs one of the West Bank’s largest dairy-farms, recounted how he turned to an Israeli kibbutz company, SAE Afikim, to help address a milk shortage in the Palestinian territory. SAE Afikim helped create his state-of-the-art dairy farm, now one of the “largest and most modern companies in the West Bank,” said Jubrani. The farm, located near Hebron, now employs 250 people - up from 20 - and has 1,200 cows. The Israeli technology helped the Palestinian farmers increase their herd and take advantage of all portions of the cow’s milk through computerized equipment. Eival Giladi, chair of the IsraeliPalestinian Chamber of Commerce, also talked about the desire among Israeli and Palestinian businesspeople to trade and build positive relations with one another. Giladi talked about Palestinian businessman Munib al-Masri, chair of the International Chamber of Commerce in Ramallah, and said that they are in the process of setting up an adjudication and resource center that will act as a meeting point for Palestinian and Israeli businessmen who need help with permits or have questions about laws, taxes or modes of business in Israel or the Palestinian territories.

Will the boycott focus on the entire manufacturer, or on certain products? Livneh: "I believe that the boycott will be against the manufacturer as a whole, but in a way that will offer the consumer alternatives. If we take Tnuva for example, we will call upon consumers to buy competing products, even if they are also garbage. The idea is that once the manufacturer will lower prices, and as a result will receive positive feedback, and then all the other manufacturers will follow suit and lower their prices." Why then are you not announcing your decision now? "We want to finish preparations and then begin the boycott in an organized fashion. We are planning a consumer boycott the likes of which have never been seen in the State of Israel."

Have any of the food manufacturers contacted you? "No comment." Is this an initiative of the Tel Aviv University student union on its own? "All of the student unions met last night, and I believe they will join us." Are you in sync with the cottage cheese boycott leaders? "Yes. Not yet fully, but we are working on this and we speak together almost daily." Will this be a joint initiative? "I hope so, and I believe that we will know how to join forces for this initiative." In some form or another, some of the manufacturers have already begun preparing for the boycott, and at least one of them has approached the student union in an attempt to reach an agreement before a boycott is declared. Student union members told reporters: "We do not intend to stop the boycott, unless a manufacturer offers us extremely significant discounts. Any chain or supplier that reduces prices will be applauded by the Israeli public." The cottage cheese protest leaders welcome the new initiative, but also warn: "We will be the consumer watch dogs, and we welcome all boycotts. On the other hand, we will make sure that the consumer receives real results from the boycott, and that no deals are closed or agreements made or understandings signed with any company. They are joining other pre-existing boycotts.

This event, co-sponsored by the Lander College at Touro in Flatbush, the Orthodox Union, and FEGS Health and Human Services, will feature three outstanding professionals who will address the topic from different perspectives. abbi Dr. Dovid Fox is a clinical and forensic psychologist and professor in Los Angeles, Rav of the Hashkama Minyan at the Young Israel of Hancock Park, and a visiting Dayan of the Bais Din, Rabbanut Yerushalayim. His presentation will offer an in-depth look at significant trauma throughout Jewish history, with its accompanying supplication, distress, and anger issues as they correlate to religious and spiritual struggles. Dr. David Pelcovitz, Straus Professor of

Psychology and Education, Azrieli Graduate School, Yeshiva University, is chairing this program and will present on the idea of resilience in the face of trauma. Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President, Emeritus, of the Orthodox Union, will focus on the way traumatic events affect us, some more than others. He will address the issue of helping others who are traumatized, when the “helpers” have themselves been traumatized by the same occurrence, and he will respond to the issue of teshuva: does trauma facilitate or impede it? The community is invited to join Nefesh and the Lander College at Touro in Flatbush on 9-11-11. The program will begin with registration at 8:30 AM and end at 1:00 PM. A representative of FEGS, announcing the event, said, “We look forward to greeting you at this timely and important event,” thanking Pomegranate kosher market for sponsoring breakfast.

Continued from Cover happening. I went to Trinity Street and saw the Towers on fire. All kinds of thoughts went through my mind—even mundane ones, like how will they ever fix the hole in those buildings? Then, right in front of my eyes, one started going down like a candle. Everybody started running. I heard someone yell, “Look out, it’s coming!” I turned around and couldn’t believe what I saw. A huge skyscraper-tall cloud of smoke was coming toward us so fast, like a snake slithering through the buildings. I realized there was no way to outrun it. It caught up with me. Suddenly, I felt a gentle push against my back, like when an ocean wave pushes you. Day had turned to night; everything was gray and brown. I covered my nose and mouth with my hands, trying not to breathe in the thick dust. The buildings were locked and people wouldn’t let anyone inside; they didn’t want to let the dust come in. Whoever was outside was stuck. The sky was snowing ash. It immediately

I was very conscious that I might be breathing in human ash. It felt surreal, like you would imagine the end of the world. People were either inside buildings or walking through the streets mid-ankle in paper and debris. I figured I’d circle around and go to the Brooklyn Bridge. I found a grocery store with its door open and the radio on. People were crowding around and listening. There was a feeling that we were all in this together, an instant camaraderie among strangers. I got to the Brooklyn Bridge, and even though I wasn’t in the smoke anymore and it was the most beautiful, sunny day, it was then that I felt the most vulnerable. I thought a plane could come and crash into the bridge. All kinds of people were walking across it. I saw an elderly Chassidic man, his coat covered with dust, shuffling along. It made me think of exile; again we’re leaving, escaping evil and violence. I saw lots of shoes strewn all over the bridge, discarded high heels. It made me realize that even on a day as tragic

People walking away from 9/11 terror attack site, covered with dust. as this, there were little blessings. I never wore sneakers to work, but because my feet were hurting me the day before, on that day I did. When I got to Brooklyn, it seemed so grotesque to see normal life. People were going about their daily chores, in the supermarket, waiting at bus stops; everything seemed the way it was when I left that morning. I felt like I had just come off a different planet. I arrived home seven hours after I had left the office. I was shocked to see the city reduced to ash. But I wasn’t surprised that it could happen—the way most Americans seemed to be. Jews have seen such tragedies happen in our history. We know people are capable of evil. When I came back to work, two weeks later, it was Tzom Gedaliah (Tzom Gedaliah is a fast day following Rosh HaShana) -- an overcast, gloomy day. It felt appropriate to come back on a fast day. The streets were still filled with dust. Every building was running on generators; you couldn’t hear yourself think. I came into my office, and although my window was closed, dust had seeped through the casement, coating the entire area near my window and even my work table. During my lunch break, I went outside to see which stores were still open. Some had closed on 9/11 and never reopened. I noticed a store window display with a rack of clothing and a row of shoes. I thought, How cute, they are all the same exact color. Then I realized the items were all coated in dust. It always bothers me when tourists ask where Ground Zero is. I feel like saying, “Here, right where you are standing.” It’s the entire Lower Manhattan. It’s the entire world. It’s not just one location—it’s everywhere.

BLOOMBERG DELIVERS MAJOR ADDRESS ON DOWNTOWN’S REBIRTH SINCE 9/11 At a breakfast sponsored by the Association for a Better New York on Tuesday morning, Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivered a dramatic commemoration speech, wherein he lauded the continued revitalization of downtown Manhattan. believe the rebirth and revitalization of lower Manhattan will be remembered as one of the greatest comeback stories in American history,” said the Mayor. “With every new resident that moves downtown, with every new business and house of worship that opens its doors, with every new student that enters a classroom, we honor the spirit of those we lost that day, we honor the values that define our city, and we honor the Constitution that sustains our great nation.” In his speech, Bloomberg announced the memorial ceremony to be held this Sunday at the World Trade Center site, where a new memorial designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker will open. “In 2006, when I became chair of the Memorial foundation, we committed to opening the memorial on the 10th anniversary,” Bloomberg said. “And thanks to so many people who worked hard to make it happen, we’re delivering on that commitment.” The Mayor went on to say that “as important as the memorial is, and I believe it could not be more important, we owe the victims much more than ceremonies and symbolism. At the 9/11 funerals and memorial services I attended, I heard stories of people so full of life – full of love – full of laughter. I heard about their dreams for the future – for themselves, and also for their families and children. I heard about their character and courage and the sacrifices they made. Their

“I

spirit inspired all of us – and I believe we owe it to them to keep their spirit alive, not only in our own hearts, not only at the World Trade Center site, but on every street they walked here in Lower Manhattan.” “Now I have to tell you,” proclaimed Bloomberg, “nothing makes me prouder as Mayor of this great City to know that we are accomplishing that in spectacular fashion.” Bloomberg recalled the fears for New York’s future expressed by some following 9/11, recalling how “that December, a New York Times columnist wrote, ‘There are ominous signs, as the economy has deteriorated and the police have been diverted to terrorrelated tasks, that the bad old days are coming back.’ ” “That was the fear then – that the bad old days were coming back. That crime would return,” said Bloomberg. “Residents would move out. Businesses would flee to the suburbs. And the city would go to seed. As we know, I’m happy to say, none of that happened. In fact, it has been just the opposite. Mayor Bloomberg went on to praise the solidarity and perseverance with which New Yorkers responded to the tragedy. “In the wake of the attacks, New Yorkers united first in grief – and then in resolve. We understood that the hijackers did more than attack two buildings; they attacked the freedom that defines our city and country: The freedom to think and speak and worship and love as we wish. We understood that without those freedoms there was no New York City, no United States of America, no democratic society anywhere – only tyranny and terror. And we understood that we could not expect our men and women in uniform abroad to defend those values alone. We had to do our part right here at home.” “The transformation of Lower Manhattan has been an enormous team effort – with the

______________________ Michael Bloomberg: “I believe the rebirth and revitalization of lower Manhattan will be remembered as one of the greatest comeback stories in American history.” ______________________ City, State, and Federal governments working together, investing together, and forming partnerships with the private sector,” Bloomberg announced. “To fully appreciate

the scale of the effort, you have to experience it for yourself.” He then went on to take his audience on a “virtual walking tour” of the area most directly affected by the terrorist attack of September 11. An area that, says Bloomberg, “has become a real neighborhood—just as we had hoped when our Administration laid out a new vision for Lower Manhattan in 2002.” Bloomberg touted his administration’s success in turning the financial district, which “became a ghost town after 6 PM” into a “vibrant and dynamic 24/7 community. The Mayor went on to describe in detail the social and economic renewal that has taken place in Downtown Manhattan over the last decade. He concluded his speech by stressing the importance of taking something positive from the tragedy of 9/11. “This Sunday, as we reflect back on the past, let us remember not only the agony and anguish of the attacks but how we channeled our pain into something positive and powerful. Let us remember not only the day that time stood still – but the decade we have spent recovering, rebuilding, and renewing. Let us remember not only how the Towers fell, but how we rose up – determined to defend our freedoms. And let us remember that when we unite as Americans, and when we put patriotism ahead of partisanship, there is no challenge that this country can’t meet. That – that is the ultimate lesson of our past decade. “And I believe the ultimate way we can honor those we lost is to apply that lesson to all the challenges our nation faces. So that the legacy of 9/11 will be felt not just here in Lower Manhattan but across each and every one of our 50 states for decades and centuries to come.”

NEWS IN REVIEW INTERNATIONAL WikiLeaks Document Sheds Light on Iraqi Jews U.S. diplomatic cable that has been leaked by WikiLeaks sheds light on the fate of Iraq’s Jews, AFP reported

Friday. The cable cites a woman who spoke with a U.S. embassy staff member in October 2009 and who said, “There are now eight remaining members of the Iraqi Jewish community in Baghdad.” She reportedly expressed interest in emigrating to the Netherlands, where two of her brothers lived. She added that a synagogue and Jewish cemetery in Baghdad have been shut since 2004, and another synagogue in the southern port city of Basra had been turned into a warehouse. The women was also reportedly asked about Iraqi Jews living abroad returning to visit or re-establishing connections in the country, and “was pessimistic, saying that latent anti-Semitism within Iraqi society would prevent this from happening anytime soon,” according to the cable. Iraq’s ancient, 90,000-strong Jewish community had been the most prosperous, prominent and well-integrated Jewish presence in the Middle East. By the 1930s, however, anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist sentiment was growing strong, under the influence of the rise of Nazi Germany, leading to the confiscation of Jewish property and, ultimately, mass murder, that continued throughout the reign of Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party. A 1969 public hanging of 14 Iraqis, nine of them Jews, who were falsely accused of spying for Israel, led to the departure of most of the remaining Jews. Most of them were gone by 1970, mostly to Israel and the United States. Last year it was reported that a collection of rare Jewish books was found by U.S. troops in the basement of an abandoned Iraqi intelligence building.

Libyan Official: Gaddafi Headed South s the hunt for former Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi continues, a senior military official said Tuesday he has probably left the town of Bani Walid and is heading further south with the help of

loyalist tribes towards Chad or Niger. Hisham Buhagiar, who is coordinating the National Transitional Council’s efforts to find Gaddafi, told Reuters reports indicate he may have been in the region of the southern village of Ghwat, some 950km south of Tripoli and 300km north of the border with Niger, three days ago

Strauss-Kahn Leaves U.S.

n Egyptian court is set to hear more testimony Wednesday in the trial of former president Hosni Mubarak, as the country's justice ministry cleared a group of Kuwaiti lawyers to join Mr. Mubarak's defense team. The state-run MENA news agency said Tuesday the justice ministry approved the request of five Kuwaiti lawyers, who say they want to defend Mubarak because of his support for Kuwait following the 1990 Iraqi invasion. Mubarak has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ordered the killing of 850 protesters during the uprising that drove him from power earlier this year. He is also facing charges of corruption and abuse of power. Prosecution lawyers were visibly stunned by General Hussein Moussa's testimony on Monday, which bolstered claims by Mr. Mubarak's backers that he did not orchestrate the violence. Prosecutors accused Moussa of changing his story from the affidavit he had initially submitted to the court. Mubarak has attended the court sessions lying on a stretcher inside the courtroom's large metal cage. He is being tried along with former interior minister Habib al-Adly and six deputies, who are accused of giving orders that led to the killing of protesters. The former leader's sons, Alaa and Gamal, have denied separate corruption charges against them. Mubarak is the first Arab leader to face trial in person since the so-called “Arab Spring” of popular revolts swept across much of North Africa and the Middle East this year.

ormer International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has left New York City, apparently for his native France. Strauss-Kahn, his wife Anne Sinclair and his daughter left their rented house Saturday afternoon, and were later seen arriving at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Strauss-Kahn resigned as the IMF's managing director in May after he was arrested at Kennedy airport and charged with the sexual assault and attempted rape of a hotel maid in New York. He spent almost a week in jail and another six weeks under house arrest. He had also been barred from leaving the United States. Last week, he walked free when Manhattan prosecutors dropped the case, saying they no longer trusted the accuser, Guinean immigrant Nafissatou Diallo. Strauss-Kahn denies the allegations. However, Diallo is continuing to press her claims in a civil lawsuit. Strauss-Kahn had been expected to be President Nicolas Sarkozy's main challenger in 2012 elections before the scandal broke. It is unclear if he will still seek the Socialist Party's presidential nomination.

Polish Jews, Christians Protest Anti-Semitic Vandalism olish Jews and Christians prayed together and marched silently to oppose last week's desecration of a memorial to Polish Jews burned to death in World War Two. As many as 100 people protested the crime in the town of Jedwabne near the eastern city of Bialystok. Vandals spray painted a swastika and the words “they were flammable” on the stone monument where Polish citizens, urged on by the Nazis, locked hundreds of Jews in a barn and burned them alive in 1941. Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski apologized on behalf of the Polish people for the vandalism. He condemned it as stupid

Turkey Expels Senior Israeli Diplomats urkey is ordering all senior Israeli diplomats out of the country by Wednesday in a deepening rift between the two countries. The move comes after Turkey last week expelled the Israeli ambassador and downgraded diplomatic relations. Israel refuses to apologize for the deaths of eight Turkish citizens and a Turkish-American during last year's Israeli raid on a shipload of aid headed to Palestinians in Gaza. Israeli airline passengers complain they were detained and questioned by Turkish authorities at the airport in Istanbul Monday while Turkish citizens complain of similar treatment in Tel Aviv. Some tourists from both countries say they were strip searched and that their passports were temporarily taken away. Also Monday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met in Ankara with Palestinian official Nabil Shaath. Davutoglu said Turkey would push for recognition of a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly. Israel and the United States oppose such a move. A United Nations report said Israel used excessive and unreasonable force when commandos boarded the aid ship last year. But the report said the raid was legal because of Israeli concerns that the ship was carrying arms to Palestinian militants. The report said Turkey and the flotilla organizers were also responsible for the deaths of nine people.

NATIONAL 9/11 First Responders Excluded from NYC 10th Year Ceremony n a decision that has rocked the world of emergency services, New York City will not invite police, firefighters and other emergency personnel to ceremonies at Ground Zero marking the tenth anniversary of the terror attack that toppled the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed the news in a statement saying that the September 11th memorial ceremony would be restricted solely to family members of victims who died on the site. “While we are again focused on accommodating victims' family members, given the space constraints, we're working to find ways to recognize and honor first responders, and other groups, at different places and times,” said spokesman Andrew Brent. There has been a flurry of outrage over the news. Thousands of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and volunteers risked their own lives trying desperately around the clock, for days, to extricate victims trapped beneath the wreckage of the massive Twin Towers. The families of the first responders who raced to the scene, and whose lives were forfeit as a result, have themselves responded with emotions ranging from shock to rage. “It's a painful insult for many of the approx-

imately 3,000 men and women [who] risked their lives, limbs and lungs on that monumental day, puncturing another hole in a still searing wound,” reported CNN earlier this month.

Postmaster General Warns the USPS Could Shut Down in 2012 .S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe is warning that the centuries-old agency could shut down next year if Congress does not allow it to restructure. Donahoe told a Senate committee Tuesday that the post office is on the brink of default. He said action is needed by the end of the month or it will default on its $5.5 billion in health benefits for retired workers. Donahoe said he is not looking for a government handout — just permission from Congress to make changes in the way the postal service operates. Among the cost-saving measures it is considering are closing unprofitable post offices and eliminating Saturday delivery. The U.S. Postal Service gets no federal funding. It is an independent federal agency responsible for its own revenue. The post office is losing billions of dollars as many customers turn to e-mail to send messages and letters. But it still handles more than half-abillion pieces of mail a day and its operations pre-date the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman said Tuesday that the post office is not a 18th century relic, but a 21st century asset.

August Unemployment Rate Expected to Remain Steady nalysts believe the U.S. unemployment rate will remain stuck at 9.1 percent when the government releases its monthly jobs report Friday. Most economists predict the figures will show at least 90,000 jobs were added to the anemic U.S. economy last month. If the forecasts hold true, it would be well below the 250,000 jobs that needs to be added every month to bring down the high unemployment rate, which has been at 9 percent or more since May. The economy added 117,000 new jobs in July. The two-week strike by about 45,000 employees of Verizon Communications is also expected to lower the August job figures. U.S. President Barack Obama will introduce a plan to stimulate the national economy and create jobs in a speech before a joint session of Congress on Thursday.

Martha Stewart Goes to Israel

avid Einhorn, the Manhattan hedge-fund owner who was reportedly in the running to buy a stake in the New York Mets for a buck, is out as a candidate for minority ownership of the financially failing team. Negotiations between Einhorn and the Mets broke down, with the team announcing on Sept. 1 that they were “unable to reach agreement.” Einhorn was considered to fill the role to help the team recover from the financial devastation brought on by the loss of $51 million last season expected losses of more than $70 million this season. Additionally, the Mets are trying to deal with a lawsuit brought by a trustee who alleges the team should have known about Bernie David Einhorn Madoff ’s Ponzi scheme. Sterling Enterprises, which owns the Mets, lost $500 million in the Madoff debacle. But the Mets owners believed Einhorn was ‘overplaying his hand’ in his negotiations with the team.

Planning a wonderful trip to Israel!” Stewart Tweeted this week. The trip is sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism and will take her to Masada, the Galilee, Tel Aviv, and the Dead Sea, where she is likely to campaign for the sea to be included as Martha Stewart one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Stewart has been in Israel before, on a trip in May 2010. “Two amazing weeks in Israel, truly one of the most beautiful and fascinating landscapes I've ever seen,” she wrote at the time.

Natalie Portman, a FullTime Mommy? elebrity newshounds are beginning to notice, actress Natalie Portman has been out of the spotlight ever since the birth of her son Aleph Portman-

Millepied (Seriously? Although we suppose it will be a real time saver if subsequent children are named Beit, Gimmel, Daled) two months ago. The Academy Award-winning actress turned down a movie role she had been strongly considering, Natalie Portman according to sources. Rumor has it that Natalie may be quitting acting in order to be a full-time Mom. Portman reportedly sees a role model in actress Audrey Hepburn. In a May interview, she was quoted as saying: “Audrey made some good choices in life…More and more I realize how unimportant it is to be in the history books or anything like that. Putting time and energy into your children—that’s valuable.” So, is the leading lady of Star Wars Episodes 1-3 headed for an early retirement, or is she simply making motherhood her top priority for now? Only time will tell.

INTERVIEW WITH CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE BOB TURNER Continued from Cover for supporting the disastrous policies of the Obama administration. I then contacted Mike Long of the New York Conservative party and asked him who was opposing Weiner on the ballot and who I could send a check to. When he told me that he was running unopposed, I was quite surprised and Mike told me that we need an independent candidate with strong business experience who can effectively articulate the conservative position on the issues. It was then that he asked me to run and after giving it careful consideration I decided to do it. After losing the race I had thought my political career was over, but I was nominated by the party to run again and they asked if I would give it another try. There are serious problems facing our country as we are totally off-course on a panoply of domestic issues and our foreign policy is a complete mess. With that in mind, I felt the voters of the 9th congressional district should have a choice in who represents them in Washington, rather than being saddled with someone who rubber stamps the president's policies. JV: Concerning your career as a cable television executive what can you bring to the table as far as business management skills? BT: My business career spans over 40 years as I've worked for CBS and Gray Advertising. I've been both president and chief executive officer of four different companies with revenues of over 100 million plus. I started one of these companies completely from scratch with a knowledge of capital markets and how to get new money to invest in businesses. I have hands-on experience in growing businesses both domestic and international and that knowledge will prove to be invaluable when dealing with fis-

As a business person, I respect the person who works hard, and don't want the tax dollars of the middle class to be squandered by incompetents. Right now our country is being run by academics and career politicians and what we're sorely lacking in

we need to focus on. Firstly, we need to tap into resources in the energy field. We need to ask all energy companies to work on a domestic program immediately and that means domestic drilling and off shore resources. In New York State, we're not doing nearly enough to exploit our natural

resources. In other states such as Pennsylvania there are over 70,000 people employed in the steel industry and if we explore our options we too can become a major employer in the energy field. In order to help these development plans along we must immediately remove the litany of government regulations that are strangling the private business sector and we must start encouraging American ingenuity and creativity. The intentions of this administration have met great uncertainty especially when it pertains to repatriating foreign profits. This means that U.S. corporations can repatriate earnings attributable to foreign business operations at a greatly reduced tax rate and right now there is more than $1 trillion in U.S. corporate profits that reside overseas The mistake that this administration has made and other Democratic administrations have made for decades is that they think they can compel businesses to keep their investments in the U.S. by taxing profits generated by American companies in foreign countries and that is simply untrue. By encouraging companies to spend money on plant equipment and new product development, you will give them incentives to spend their money here, thus creating more jobs. We had best dramatically reduce government regulations rather quickly as Obamacare is crippling small businesses and is literally pulling millions of dollars out of them. We're looking at higher insurance premiums and let's remember that the insurance companies are only making a 2 percent profit. What you have are substantially less benefits and inadequate healthcare. In addition to insurance companies, financial and corporate institutions are being hard hit by this as well. Soon, jobs will be sent to London and Toronto. These are the unintended consequences of massive regulations. Rather than creating an environment that would make borrowing money easier, it just makes it more cumbersome.

Today we are fighting a war for our very survival and this war is being waged against us by the forces of militant Islam which has spread its tentacles far and wide. I vividly recall those Iraqis holding up their purple thumbs after voting for the first time and what a small taste of democracy can do for people. We must empower and embolden democratic factions in the Middle East and never lose sight of the fact that Israel is our only stable, democratic ally in the region and must be treated as the loyal friend that she is. As to the Green Revolution in Iran, I saw this as an opportunity missed by our government by not strongly supporting those voices who call for freedom, justice and democracy.

Continued from 28 reform bill repealed as it represents a financial nightmare for generations to come. I'm outraged at the fact that government has placed itself in the way of the patient/doctor relationship and the attendant procedures. If anything, the president's bill has only increased the already exorbitant cost of healthcare. We must look at other states who have implemented much better healthcare models such as Massachusetts with only 4% of the population there uninsured. We've taken trillions of dollars out of Medicare and have put it into a feckless Obamacare plan that is going nowhere. What we're witnessing today is an economic war with middle class families who have to shoulder the costs of Medicaid. While Medicaid might be okay in the short term it will never be a long term resolution for the millions of uninsured Americans. JV: What is your plan to lower the national debt and free ourselves from our dependency on China for loans and how would you go about making this country solvent again? BT: I feel that we have to grow our way out of this problem. We must work towards growing and strengthening the economy and not the deficit. Grow the economy and not the deficit. Currently, our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) which refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced in our country, is at 15 trillion dollars. In the next seven to eight years, our objective must be to return to a 20 trillion dollar mark. We can accomplish that by drastically cutting our expenditures which are totally out of control. Our budget must match our overall revenue and I think itâ€™s insane that we're borrowing money and spending twice as much as we have. We're only going deeper into a hole. It's like opening up a new credit card to pay off the debts on an existing one. JV: On the foreign policy front, President

JV: Educating the children of the 9th congressional district has become a financial burden on middle class parents who have chosen not to send their children to public schools. What would you do in terms of tuition tax credits for parents wishing to send their children to private and parochial schools? BT: Tuition tax credits are fine for starters but I would like to implement a school voucher program that will alleviate the tremendous financial strain on parents and will significantly offset the immense costs of a private education. By doing so, we are saving the taxpayer an enormous amount of money. Each taxpayer in New York spends about $8000 per student in a failing public school system. By investing in private education, we can reduce the jobless rates in the future by providing a quality education for our children and afford them with the kind of incentives to succeed that they won't get elsewhere. I don't think it's fair or reasonable to keep burdening the taxpayer which is why I see school tax credits as a quicker and easier way to resolve this ongoing crisis in education.

Volvo Concept Car to Highlight New 4-Cylinder Engines

After showcasing the Concept Universe (above) at last year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Volvo will unveil an all-new concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show in just a few week’s time. This latest project will be used as a platform to promote the brand’s new 4cylinder engine lineup that it claims won’t reduce driving pleasure or the luxury experience. t’s time to stop counting cylinders,” says Volvo R&D boss Peter Mertens. “At the Frankfurt Motor Show we will reveal a new concept car. It proves that downsized engines can go hand in hand with our customers’ expectations on luxury and driving pleasure.” The new VEA (Volvo Environmental Architecture) engine range will include both gasoline and diesel engines with power equal to current six-cylinder engines, with efficiency beyond what today’s 4-cylinders offer. In addition, Volvo claims these new engines will use roughly 60% fewer parts than the current engines and will weigh as much as

200 lbs less. At Frankfurt Volvo will also announce a new SPA (Scalable Platform Architecture) that will underpin a new line of future models. Weighing 220 to 440 lbs less than the current architectures used by Volvo it will also allow for all future models to receive some sort of electric drivetrain, be it hybrid or fully electric. And on the topic of electrification, Volvo will also tout its new KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) that it will test on a roadgoing vehicle this Fall. Storing brake energy in a flywheel, this system will allow the power to then be used to add power during acceleration or simply to keep the car moving at cruising speeds. Mertens says the Volvo KERS system will add 80 horsepower while improving fuel economy by 20 percent. Finally, Volvo’s new concept car will also give a hint at the brand’s new styling direction. Often criticized for building boxes on wheels, Volvo promises “to give forthcoming Volvo models more exciting looks.”

2012 Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition Revealed

Announced at last year’s LA Auto Show, the Ducati and Mercedes AMG partnership initially revealed little more than AMG’s sponsorship of the Ducati Moto GP factory team plus a series of joint marketing and PR campaigns. ow, the collaboration has just created the new Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition in time for the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show. What you get is essentially the top-of-the-line trim of Ducati’s topof-the line motorcycle. No word on the press release regarding any performance enhancements, the Diavel Carbon based AMG Special Edition will possess AMG’s trademark rims and trademark aluminum blades along the lateral radiator grills. AMG engraved end caps will be prominently dis-

played on the exhaust while the upholstery will have AMG styled and branded Alcantara seats. The carbon fiber bodywork comes in any color as long as its matte black and contrasts to the AMG “Diamond White Bright” painted frame. The name of the technician who handbuilt the particular Diavel engine will also be engraved onto the left hand side of the engine casing. And finally, to top it all off, each Diavel will also have a series number plaque on the fuel tank. Booyah! Now what if a person really wants to make a statement and the Diavel AMG Special Edition is not enough? He or she could push their love for the brand over the edge with an exclusive matching Ducati AMG helmet and leather riding jacket.

Robo-Rehab at New York Methodist Hospital

Manuel Wilfred, PT, chief of physical therapy monitors output on the newly acquired robotic orthosis machine. New York Methodist Hospital recently acquired a robotic-assisted rehabilitation system known as the Lokomat, and it is already helping many patients recover from diseases and disorders like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease. These conditions often leave patients with a decreased range of motion due to injury or abnormality of the brain. While there is currently no cure, certain treatments have been shown to greatly improve quality of life. ne of these treatments places the patient in a harness suspended slightly above a moving platform while a therapist physically moves the patient’s legs. In advanced versions of treadmill training, the orthosis mechanically moves the patient’s legs, training the gait more naturally and accurately. This advanced robotic-assisted machine is called the Lokomat, which, in conjunction with other kinds of physical therapy, helps patients regain mobility. The computerized robot, which is manned by one of the trained physical therapists at NYM, not only controls the speed and level of difficulty, but monitors how much effort the patient is making, providing constant feedback and personalized assessment. New York Methodist Hospital is the first Hospital in

“The acquisition of these two machines, in conjunction with the other equipment and excellent therapists staffing our rehabilitation unit, can only mean better care for patients who have experienced neurological distress.” _______________________________ Brooklyn and one of the first in the country to acquire the Lokomat. The premise of this robotic-assisted rehabilitation is that new movement or an improvement to an existing movement in a patient with a neurological disorder can be achieved only through a very high number of repetitions of that movement. These movements must represent the actual movement—

whether walking correctly or putting on an earring—to be learned as accurately as possible. The new technology allows patients to repeat these movements at this level of accuracy. It can also focus in on specific joints and muscles, for instance, the knee or the hip, and target especially weak areas, creating an individualized therapy experience. “The introduction of the Lokomat has proved to be a great adjunct to the therapy that NYM offers to patients,” said Manuel Wilfred, PT, chief of physical therapy. The “driven gait orthosis” of the machine automates locomotion therapy on a treadmill and improves the efficiency of treadmill training. The therapy is very individualized, based on the type of neurological disorder and phase within the disorder. “I have witnessed notable improvements with patients who have been rehabilitated on our machine, in less than three weeks,” said Mr. Wilfred. In addition to the Lokomat, used for rehabilitation involving walking and gait, New York Methodist Hospital has also acquired the Armeo, a machine for the upper body, which aims to increase mobility in the arms and fingers for patients who have experienced neurological illness. The occupational therapy exercises made possible by this machine are designed to provide patients with the specific skills needed to reach the highest level of independence in daily activities. The Armeo provides computerized games and activities to improve coordination and functional ability. An “assisted spring” in the device gives patients the boost they need to complete the tasks set for them by occupational therapists. “Patients enjoy the feeling of success in their therapy,” said Norma Rossi, OTR, chief of occupational therapy. “They get immediate and constant feedback from the machine and from the therapists at NYM.” Acquisition of the robotic-assisted rehabilitation system was made possible by New York City Council grants sponsored by Council Member Bill de Blasio (now the Public Advocate) and Council Member Michael Nelson. “The acquisition of these two machines, in conjunction with the other equipment and excellent therapists staffing our rehabilitation unit, can only mean better care for patients who have experienced neurological distress,” said Miran Salgado, MD, chairman of neurosciences. “We are very grateful to the legislators who helped to make it possible for NYM to improve the quality of life for our patients.”

Jewish Indie-Folk Artist Moshe Hecht to Release Highly Anticipated Debut Album In a music world dominated by autotune and overproduction, Hasidic indiefolk artist Moshe Hecht challenges the status quo of hype over substance with his debut album, Heart is Alive, set for release in October 2011. he album—produced in Seattle by seven-time Emmy winner and Grammy-nominated producer Steven Ray Allen—marks Hecht’s much-anticipated entrance onto the current folk-revival scene. He has already garnered fans worldwide and played internationally to popular reception with The Moshe Hecht Band, an eclectic group of musicians from diverse backgrounds. The songs on Heart is Alive show a return to true, humble music that celebrate life’s everyday moments. Moshe masterfully mixes meaning with melody, telling stories through his music in the vein of Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel—all with a distinctly Hasidic twist. Navigating through multiple genres including classic rock and reggae, Moshe uses organic arrangements and his soulful, engaging voice to spread messages of inspiration that speak to people from all walks of life. The title track off the album, weaving English and Hebrew lyrics together over a delicate acoustic guitar, rouses listeners to be spiritually stirred. Moshe’s overarching theme echoes the Hasidic concept that inspiration can come from the ordinary and mundane, illustrated most poignantly on the grooving rock track “Inspire Me,” and “When I’m In Need” —a powerful song inspired by a humbling encounter with a homeless man Hecht met in Jerusalem. Throughout Heart is Alive, the production channels the intimate quality of the live

Putting Art Out on the Street BY JESSICA STEINBERG Every Tuesday and Friday, the Nahalat Binyamin pedestrian mall comes alive with artists and craftsmen as customers seek handmade treasures. f it's any day except for Tuesday or Friday, the pedestrian street called Nahalat Binyamin in Tel Aviv is calm. Coffee drinkers sit at the many cafés, sipping their cappuccinos and gazing at the passersby, fabric stores and newly arrived boutiques that make up the street scene. But on Tuesdays and Fridays, hundreds of people crowd the three-street Nahalat Binyamin neighborhood, stopping to view, admire and purchase the works of the artists displaying their wares. The Nahalat Binyamin Arts & Crafts Fair was an initiative of the city of Tel Aviv in 1987 and is now the country's largest fair, with more than 200 artists selected by a public committee. For many, this two-day-aweek fair is their gallery, their one venue for exhibiting and selling their creations. And the creations are varied -- ceramic pots, jewelry, toys, figurines, blown glass, wearable art, recycled paper lampshades and much more. According to the fair guidelines, all creations must be handmade and sold in person by the artist at the fair.

It All Happens Here Moche Hecht music experience and Hecht’s authentic, uncompromising approach shines. Heart is Alive will be available on iTunes, Amazon, and anywhere music is sold online this October. The first single, “Believers,” is available as a free download on Facebook and at Hecht’s official website,www.MosheHecht.com. All the latest news can be found on his official Facebook page (facebook.com/moshehechtmusic), Twitter (twitter.com/moshehecht), and at www.MosheHecht.com.

Amnon Lipkin, whose old-fashioned wheeled cart holds his portable sewing machine as well as his cleverly sewn toys— such as a "camera case" bag or toaster with bread—likes that the fair offers a sometime storefront. "Nahalat Binyamin is half a store for me, but not a whole store, which is what I had in mind," Lipkin says.

Artists Inspiring One Another Twice a week, the three-pronged street fair is bustling with stalls, artists and customers, as well as other pedestrians making their way to the many local fabric stores in what has become Tel Aviv's garment district. The artists chat with one another or work on their pieces during down times. They sometimes bring their spouses or babies along. "We're like our own, small neighborhood," says gourd artist Neomi Zelman of her fellow artists. "We treat each other very well, we inspire one another, we share techniques and materials. And the exposure to the great audience has been wonderful." She's echoed by Michal Ben Yosef, a ceramicist who has been selling her salt-andpepper shakers, trays, hamsas and pomegranates at the fair for more than15 years. "I love getting to talk to my customers, and hearing what they're looking for," she says. "Then I go back to my studio, brainstorm a little and come up with new designs. It's always a fruitful two days." As Nahalat Binyamin has grown, young Israeli clothing and accessories designers have begun setting up their shops and studios near the textile stores that they frequent, and benefiting from the fair traffic two days a week.

It's fitting, as the neighborhood has almost always been home to small shops and their owners. Named after the father of modern Zionism, Benjamin Ze'ev (Theodor) Herzl, Nahalat Binyamin ("The Estate of Benjamin") was the longest street in the city when it was first paved and became the main artery of one of Tel Aviv's original neighborhoods of the same name. Its founders were upper-class tradesmen and clerks, craftsmen, shopkeepers and booksellers. At first, the five-acre neighborhood was solely residential, but as Jews left Jaffa and migrated to the growing modern Israeli city, owners added stories to the houses with storefronts on the street level.

"Nahalat Binyamin is and always will be the Tel Aviv address when you are looking for 100% Israeli crafts," says Renert. "But there's an urban feeling here that calls for more conceptual design, in addition to the arts and crafts. That's why opening a studio store offers all the options. The visitors are geared for a street fair experience, and when they walk around, they find my studio as well." Creativity, clearly, is never lacking in this neighborhood.

Nahalat Binyamin offers good history, fun shopping and easy access to other wellknown Tel Aviv stops, from the next-door Carmel food and vegetable market, into Kerem HaTeimanim with its grilled meat restaurants and from there to Neve Tzedek, the city's first Jewish neighborhood outside of Jaffa.

Two Kinds of War Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19 BY RABBI ABA WAGENSBERG This week's portion begins (Deut. 21:10) with a description of how we must treat prisoners of war. The Midrash (Sifri) explains that this protocol refers to an optional war rather than a mandatory one. Rashi clarifies this statement by saying that, in a mandatory war, we are commanded to annihilate the enemy (Deut. 20:16) - meaning that there are no captives at all! Therefore, if the opening verses of our parsha describe the treatment of captives, we can infer that the Torah is discussing an optional war, not a mandatory one. he Slonimer Rebbe (in Netivot Shalom) suggests that these two types of wars - mandatory and optional symbolically represent the two types of war that each one of us wages against our yetzer hara (inclination toward negativity). A mandatory war symbolizes a spiritual battle where the yetzer hara tries to convince us to transgress outright Torah prohibitions. An optional war, on the other hand, symbolizes a spiritual battle where the yetzer hara tries to convince us to overindulge in areas that are technically permitted. The Torah hints to this area of confrontation in the verse that charges us to be holy people (Leviticus 19:2). What does it mean to be a holy Jew? Nachmanides explains that we are not supposed to use the Torah's approval as an excuse for gluttonous or vulgar behavior. For example, we should not overindulge in food and drink, even if the products are kosher and we recited the proper blessing before partaking of them. Overindulging in permitted areas causes us to lose focus on the true goals in life, and eventually could even lead us to transgress outright prohibitions. In order to prevent ourselves from transgressing in prohibited areas, we must implement an approach in serving God that the

Kabbalah calls "itkafya." This means forcing ourselves to take action when action is called for, and forcing ourselves to refrain when passivity is necessary. In other areas, we must implement a different approach in serving God. The Kabbalah calls this approach "ithafcha," which means transforming the inclination toward negativity (yetzer hara) into an inclination toward positivity (yetzer tov). When we learn how to transform destructive energy into positive energy, we can channel all the materialism of this world toward constructive, purposeful, meaningful goals. We find a proof to this idea in the verse, "Love God with all your hearts" (Deut. 6:5). It seems strange that the word "hearts" is in the plural. Doesn't a person have only one heart? According to the Talmud (Brachot 54a), we learn from here that we must serve _______________________________

â€œWhat does it mean to be a holy Jew? Nachmanides explains that we are not supposed to use the Torah's approval as an excuse for gluttonous or vulgar behavior.â€? _______________________________ God not only with our yetzer tov, but even with our yetzer hara. By using the physical world responsibly, we can use every moment of life in a positive way and elevate all mundane matters into meaningful experiences. May we grow to be the highest-ranking soldiers and win the war on both fronts, so that we can infuse every moment of our lives with positive purpose. ARTICLE COURTESY OF AISH HATORAH, WWW.AISH.COM

Summary of Haftarah:

Haftarah for Ki Teitzei (Isaiah 54:1-10) This week's haftarah is the fifth of a series of seven "Haftarot of Consolation." These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b'Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah. orsaken Jerusalem is likened to a barren woman devoid of children. G-d enjoins her to rejoice, for the time will soon come when the Jewish nation will return and proliferate, repopulating Israel's once desolate cities. The prophet assures the Jewish people that G d has not forsaken them. Although He has momentarily hid His countenance from them, He will gather them from their exiles with great mercy. The haftarah compares the final Redemption to the pact G-d made with Noah. Just as G d promised to never bring a flood over the entire earth, so too He will never again be angry at the Jewish people. "For the mountains may move and the hills might collapse, but My kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of My peace collapse."

BBB Cautions Consumers to Be Careful Hiring Contractors to Repair Post-Irene Damage NATURAL DISASTERS PROVIDE FERTILE GROUND FOR UNSCRUPULOUS, UNQUALIFIED, UNLICENSED HOME REPAIR CONTRACTORS The Better Business Bureau of Connecticut is warning consumers to be careful when hiring contractors to repair property damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene. he majority of storm-related damage involves flooding, wet and stained ceilings, walls and carpeting, and broken windows, siding and roof damage. As Tri-State area residents assess their losses, the first instinct is to get property damage fixed as quickly as possible. However, Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, cautions consumers against making repair decisions without consulting qualified professionals. â€œConsumers want to get their property back into shape as quickly as possible, however, Better Business Bureau recommends they select contractors carefully, and verify their marketplace record at http://www.bbb.org.â€? In the aftermath of natural disasters, unscrupulous, unregistered and uninsured contractors offer low ball estimates for repairs that affect the value of a property. If storm-related problems are not fixed properly, they can create long term problems that put homes at risk of further structural damage, mold and problems with electrical, heating and cooling systems. The Better Business Bureau has the following tips for selecting home repair or

improvement contractors: Avoid making quick decisions - Most property owners are inclined to get repair work done as quickly as possible, however, it is vital that they obtain bids from several contractors. Check with your insurance company to verify coverage and procedures for filing claims.

Chemical Contamination Concerns in the Wake of Hurricane Irene Hurricane Irene left a path of death and destruction across 11 states from North Carolina to Maine. At least 38 people lost their lives and thousands of homes and businesses have been damaged. A large number of these damaged properties are the result of floods, heavy rains and tidal surges. he storm hit some of the most densely populated portions of the entire country. Some estimates have already put the figure for the total damage caused by Hurricane Irene at approximately $10 billion. A major concern for flooded properties is the presence of chemical contaminants. The East Coast has a high percentage of the nation’s chemical manufacturing plants and oil refineries. Chemical contaminants can also come from landfills, past industrial sites in flood prone areas and a number of superfund locations along the area’s rivers. In New Jersey alone, there are over 100 superfund sites and thousands of contaminated locations. “As heavy rains and flood waters make contact with these locations, chemicals can easily leach into the water and be carried into people’s homes, businesses and schools,” reported Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President, Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc., a leading chemical testing laboratory. “PCPs, dioxin, chromium and lead are just a few of the hundreds of chemicals that people may be exposed to as they begin the long process of rebuilding their properties. Not only can these chemicals present an immediate risk to those rebuilding, but if they are not properly remediated

In New Jersey alone, there are over 100 superfund sites like this one, and thousands of contaminated locations. they could pose long-term concerns for future building occupants. Fortunately, there are fast and affordable chemical testing solutions so that future environmental and health concerns can be avoided,” he continued.

Obama’s Pretend Counterterrorism Policy... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20 ernment, Hamas, Hizbullah, Jamaat ulFuqra, not to speak of so-called lone wolves. Rep. Sue Myrick (Republican of North Carolina) rightly notes that the policy paper “raises more questions … than it answers.” The intellectual roots of Empowered go back to a George Soros–funded 2004 initiative, the Promising Practices Guide: Developing Partnerships Between Law Enforcement and American Muslim, Arab, and Sikh Communities by Deborah A. Ramirez, Sasha Cohen O’Connell, and Rabia Zafar. These authors made their outlook clear: “The most dangerous threats in this war [on terrorism] are rooted in the successful propagation of anger and fear directed at unfamiliar cultures and people.” The most dangerous threat, they announced, is not Islamist terror, with its thousands of fatali-

ties, but a supposed widespread bias by Americans against minorities. As I observed in 2004, “The guide might present itself as an aide to counterterrorism but its real purpose is to deflect attention from national security to the privileging of select communities.” While the document unobjectionably emphasizes American constitutional values and the need to partner with Muslims, it says not a word about the need to distinguish between Islamist and anti-Islamist Muslims. Empowering finesses the dismal fact that Islamists dominate the organized American Muslim leadership and their objectives share more with terrorists than counterterrorists. Rep. King correctly worries that the White House document condemns “legitimate criticism of certain radical organizations or ele-

ments of the Muslim-American community,” something urgently needed to distinguish foe from friend. Indeed, the Obama administration’s willingness to partner with Muslims who reject the Constitutional order accounts for Islamist organizations’ delighted responses to this paper. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a terrorist-supporting front organization, praised it as “objective and holistic,” while the likeminded Muslim Public Affairs Council deemed it “very useful.” In contrast, Melvin Bledsoe, father of a convert to Islam, Carlos Bledsoe, who in 2009 shot and killed a soldier at a militaryrecruiting center in Little Rock, Ark., said of the report: “It’s never going to fix the problem when they’re trying to dance around the issues.” Ed Husain of the Council on Foreign

Relations dismissed it for saying “worryingly little” and being primarily designed “not to offend Muslims.” In brief, an organization connected to terrorists swoons over the administration’s pretend counterterrorism policy while the grieving father of a terrorist scornfully dismisses it. That tells us everything. What now, with the enshrining of a fringe study as national policy? There are no shortcuts: Those who want a genuine counterterrorism policy must work to remove the Left and the multiculturalists from government.

Intelligence vs. Evidence Gathering: Knowing the Difference... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 scale than previous endeavors, although not a novel concept. In the 1980s, my office worked with intelligence agencies in the case of Edwin P. Wilson, the rogue CIA officer who was accused of selling explosives to Libya. Although Wilson’s case regarding the explosives was overturned, he was convicted of conspiring to murder the federal prosecutors in that case based on the evidence provided. There is a vast difference between obtaining evidence and gathering intelligence. And that is where the understanding must take place. In order for evidence to be useful in any prosecution, it must be admissible. In order to be admissible, it must be legally obtained. John Cutter, former Deputy Chief of NYPD, articulated that distinction in the AP article: “Cutter said he and other uniformed officers had to tell Cohen, no, we can’t just slip into someone’s apartment

without a warrant. No, we can’t just conduct a search. The rules for policing are different.” On the other hand, the rules for information gathering, analysis, and dissemination also are different. That does not mean that the process is nefarious, or something to be feared as some sort of Big-Brother-spyingon-the-masses agenda. The CIA annually publishes a “World Fact Book.” According to the CIA website, it “provides information on the history, people, government, economy, geography, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues for 267 world entities.” It is a useful, informative tool for understanding the nations and the cultures of the world. No one decries that civil rights were violated to obtain and collate this data. Police departments throughout the country use mapping to understand and combat crime effectively in their cities. The New

York State Department of Corrections annually produces a “Report of Foreign-Born Inmates,” detailing nationality, immigration status, crime of commitment, etc. Is this profiling? I think not. Concerns that are legitimate should be addressed. The Handschu decision, an agreement between the NYPD and the plaintiffs, approved by the federal district court, established guidelines for police in conducting investigations or gathering intelligence on political or religious organizations. Its requirements are still very much a part of any decision-making by the NYPD when it comes to surveillance of political or religious organizations. Outrageous claims of civil rights violations should be put in their proper context. There is a reason there has not been a successful terrorist attack in New York City in 10 years. It is the dedication, hard work,

and partnership of men and women who work in the law enforcement and intelligence community. Patrick Dunleavy is the former Deputy Inspector General for New York State Department of Corrections and author of The Fertile Soil of Jihad, which is scheduled to be published in September.

Mubarak Trial Resumes With Mayhem, Police Testimony... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 stones at police. The court will hear testimony from three other police officers. Mubarak arrived at the trial on a stretcher. His trial resumes Wednesday. The proceedings are not being televised,

unlike two previous sessions that showed Mubarak lying on a hospital bed inside the courtroom's large metal cage with his two sons at his side. The judge presiding over the case ordered an end to the live broadcasts last month.

The former leader's sons, Alaa and Gamal, have denied separate corruption charges against them. Mubarak is being tried along with former interior minister Habib al-Adly and six deputies, who are accused of giving orders

that led to the killing of protesters. He is the first Arab leader to face trial in person since the so-called “Arab Spring” of popular revolts swept across much of North Africa and the Middle East this year. VOANEWS.COM

Obama Again Omits Israel in His List of Countries Suffering Terrorist Attacks... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 Goldblatt said, “The ZOA is appalled that President Obama refuses to include Israel as a country that has suffered from Islamic terrorism. He cites country after country that has endured far less terrorism than Israel. This is the third time President Obama has ignored Israel in an important citation. It seems impossible to believe that this could be anything less than intentional. “Israel has been a primary target of

Islamist and Arab terrorist organizations for decades, with special intensity in the past eleven years. Almost 2,000 Israelis have been murdered by terrorists in this period and over 10,000 more wounded and maimed. Eight more Israelis were murdered only last week in a terrorist missile attack. In fact, in per capita terms, far more Israelis have been murdered by terrorists than Americans were murdered in 9/11. The scenes of repeated ter-

rorist carnage on Israeli streets are, tragically, all too familiar to all of us. It is therefore hard to believe that President Obama’s omission of an Israeli city when referring to cities around the world that have been targeted by terrorists in recent years was coincidental, especially when he has omitted mention of Israel in comparable contexts in the past. “As we saw in the earlier examples cited, President Obama will avoid mentioning

Israel in a favorable or sympathetic context even when such an omission is glaring. Sadly, it would seem that President Obama is willing to exclude Israel from the common concern of mankind in confronting and memorializing the terrorism of which he speaks. Worse, such omission implies that those who murder and maim Israelis are not really terrorists. We urge President Obama to publicly explain this omission and correct it.”

BBB Cautions Consumers to Be Careful Hiring Contractors to Repair Post- Irene Damage... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36 Don’t hire only on the basis of the lowest estimate – Unscrupulous contractors may offer very attractive estimates, but perform the work with substandard craftsmanship and materials, and in some cases, take a deposit and simply disappear. If one bid is substantially lower than others, ask why, and com-

pare the details in the various estimates. Verify contractors’ history – Check other consumers’ experiences with contractors by looking up their BBB Business Reviews at http://www.bbb.org. Get it all in writing – Once you have selected a company or individual to fix storm

damage, make sure all of the details are in a contract, including any verbal promises. A contract should contain details about required materials, labor and financing, and a time frame for the beginning and completion of work. A typical payment schedule would involve paying one third of the total cost before work begins to help pay for mate-

rials, one third when work begins and one third upon completion. Ask contractors whether their workers are employees or third parties, and request proof of insurance in case they are injured while working on your property. In the event of a dispute, complaints should be submitted at http://www.bbb.org.

Gates Says Netanyahu an Ungrateful Ally... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 developing missile-defense systems, highlevel intelligence sharing—and then stated bluntly that the U.S. has received nothing in return, particularly with regard to the peace process.” Goldberg was further irritated that the United States probably will stand up for Israel if and when the United Nations discusses an Arab League request, in the name of Abbas, for recognizing the Palestinian Authority and accepting its unilateral political and territorial demands. Goldberg also opined, “Dislike of Netanyahu has deepened in a way that could ultimately be dangerous for Israel” and that “the Netanyahu government does little to dis-

pel the notion among its right-wing supporters that the Obama administration is at best a wavering friend. This is self- evidently foolish, especially at a time when Israel faces an existential threat from its menacing neighbor Iran.” He then put in a plug for Israel’s Opposition leader Tzipi Livni, writing that the leader of the Kadima party told him—in a recent interview with him and the editor of Atlantic—that, in his words, “The average Israeli is more attuned to the importance of maintaining good relations with the U.S. president than is the current prime minister." “The litmus test for them [Israelis] is the health of the relationship between Israel and the United States,” she was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, cottage cheese boycott leaders stressed that the boycotts against Shufersal and Mega grocery store chains are alive and kicking. "The boycott is operative. What kind of question is that? People are talking about it, and I believe that it will be felt. People do their grocery shopping wher-

ever it is cheapest, and we encourage them to check well. However, the large chains encourage a lack of competition by continuously opening new branches, and so we are boycotting them until after the holidays. The boycott against Shufersal and Mega will encourage the lowering of prices," explained Lavi. REPORT BY GLOBES, ISRAEL BUSINESS NEWS - WWW.GLOBES-ONLINE.COM

Bomb Shelters on Standby as Israeli Children Return to School 4,500 security guards outside Israeli schools each day Children across Israel returned to school late last week. The start of a new school year comes after a wave of terror attacks across the country killed 10 Israelis and wounded more than 50. hether it was resilience or excitement, the kids returning to south Tel Aviv’s Bialik-Rogozin school seemed unfazed that over the weekend a terrorist from Nablus in the West Bank [a/k/a Shechem in Samaria –Ed.] stole a car, ran over police officers, and then started indiscriminately stabbing people right around the corner from their school. The terrorist wounded a total of eight people. Instead, it was stories of summer vacations by students and photo opportunities for proud moms and dads. Likewise, children in southern Israel started school after days spent in bomb shelters to protect them from the nearly 200 rockets fired from Gaza over the past two weeks. Since the start of 2011, Gaza terrorists have fired more than 500 rockets at Israeli civilians. When asked how she felt about returning to school, one young girl told Israel Radio: “We’re so excited. Yeah, maybe we’re scared, but we’ve lived through wars here. And we still have to go to school. We’re still very excited.” MDA, Israel’s emergency rescue service, issued a statement stating that it was “prepared to meet any needs that might arise” as children return to school.

Two other cities Beersheba and Ashkelon already have Iron Dome rocket interceptors. Meanwhile, Israel is pouring $85 million into improving East Jerusalem schools. The Jerusalem municipality is investing $84 million to construct 285 new classrooms in East Jerusalem, some of which are already under construction. At least 42 new classrooms will be opened: 18 at the beginning of the school year and 24 during the year. The

Eilat, the southern resort city on the Red Sea—an area that was recently targeted by Gaza terrorists who killed eight Israelis—is reportedly bustling with vacationers and families despite alerts from the police and military about another terror plot. Egypt reopened Rafah, the border crossing with Gaza. When Gaza opened it three months ago it made it possible for terrorists in Gaza to freely enter Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and then infiltrate Israel through the porous Egyptian-Israeli border. Israel yesterday rushed to deploy its third anti-rocket protective barrier, Iron Dome, in Ashdod, a port city north of Gaza. The deployment coincided with the start of the school year. Iron Dome is a moveable system that shoots down incoming rockets before they land. It is produced by Israeli manufacturers and the government has ordered more

The municipality is also investing $210,000 to advance gifted and talented pupils and strengthen girls’ education. An additional $422,000 is being allocated for organizational expenditures. Another component of the educational plan is the distribution of approximately 1,600 computers and 350 additional personal computers to foster a technological, interactive environment for East Jerusalem students. The idea is to create a “smart classroom” to allow students to maximize their education. The changes are meant to address socioeconomic gaps that exist between West and East Jerusalem. East Jerusalem is home to some 300,000 Arab residents.

Israelis Tourists Detained, Harassed by Police in Istanbul Airport

JV STAFF WRITERS Approximately 40 passengers on a Turkish Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Istanbul were detained for several hours by local authorities on Monday, and forced to surrender their passports. The passengers claimed they were treated disrespectfully by Turkish police. he incident comes in the wake of a diplomatic fracas between Israel and Turkey, with the Turks demanding an apology for last year’s raid against the nowinfamous flotilla, which had crossed Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, in support of Palestinian terrorists. Ankara had issued the ultimatum in advance of the publication of the UN’s Palmer Report, which was to announce the organization’s findings vis-àvis the flotilla incident. Israeli officials expressed regret over the lives lost during the raid, but refused to apologize for Israel’s act of self-defense. As a result, the Turks downgraded their diplomatic ties with the Jewish State, recalling their ambassador while expelling Israel’s. "I think that the police officers didn't even know what they were looking for," one of the passengers said, according to reports by Israel’s Ynet News. "They apparently got an order to detain us, one by one. Everyone was in shock; we didn't know what they were going to do to us. Obviously this was done intentionally in order to create an unpleasant feeling." "They asked us why we came here, opened our bags, checked how much money we have and what we have on our laptops," he added. Government officials in Jerusalem believe that what transpired at Ataturk International Airport was a tit for tat response to another recent incident in Tel Aviv wherein several Turkish citizens were detained for questioning by Israeli border police. According to reports by Turkey’s Anatolia news agency, Turkish travelers were harassed

by Israeli authorities. One Turkish national, Mustafa Teke, who had come to Israel for the nine-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, claimed to have been searched several times in a special room at Ben Gurion Airport. He said that only Turkish tourists were taken to the special room and that they were humiliated by _______________________________

“They [Turkish customs officers] asked us [Israeli tourists] why we came here, opened our bags, checked how much money we have and what we have on our laptops...” _______________________________

police. “We were exposed to a kind of mistreatment which would not even be shown to terrorists,” Teke said, apparently unfamiliar with the degree of suspicion—born out of the realities of Israel’s security situation— with which Israeli authorities are known to scrutinize even Jewish tourists. According to Ynet, representatives from Israel’s Foreign Ministry said that there has been no official policy change in Turkey as to the way Israeli travelers are to be received, and that there was no intention to single out Israelis that arrive in Turkey. "It was a midrank initiative that apparently came in response to the incident at Ben Gurion Airport," they said. The two incidents mark the latest deterioration in the longstanding Turkish-Israeli alliance, following the aforementioned diplomatic dispute which, again, stemmed from Israel’s refusal to submit to the Turkish ultimatum by apologizing for defending themselves against the pro-terrorist flotilla last year. On Sunday, it was reported that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to visit Egypt and Gaza soon to sign strategic cooperation agreements with Cairo.

STREETBALL, ANYONE?

Who would have greater leverage than NBA stars like LeBron James (right) and Kobe Bryant, if only they would come to the negotiating table? BY ANDY GERSHMAN I went out last night to play some hoops with some guys from around the neighborhood. Nobody reported about it (although I thought they should have) and there were no cameras. It was “streetball,” the kind of game that has been going on for years now….well, until this summer anyway. t seems that streetball has taken on a life of its own. Apparently the American-born players who are waiting to see if there will be an NBA season next year are meeting around the old black top (or Morgan State) for a pick up game or two. These games are a mixture of NBA All-Star Defense and And 1 hype! But why? Why are these guys out there risking their careers to entertain a few hundred or thou-

“NBA coach John Thompson all but beg the players to get involved. Instead of playing basketball on the streets of New York, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, how about sitting with the owners and representatives from the league at a bargaining table?” ______________________________ sand people in a streetball game? If the NBA was not in a lockout situation these veterans would never take to the court to show off their skills. Does Clayton Bennet cringe every time he hears Kevin Durrant has signed up to play another game? I am a person who NEVER roots for injury, but the Oklahoma City franchise is one summer league ACL tear away from a disaster. Summer leagues are for rookies and guys trying to make a team. When was the last time you saw a superstar trying to prove himself? I thought Kevin Durant did enough last summer representing the U.S. to earn a vacation this year. So what should the players do with their

free time? Here is an idea: get involved in the negotiations with the league. This week, I heard legendary NBA coach John Thompson all but beg the players to get involved. Instead of playing basketball on the streets of New York, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, how about sitting with the owners and representatives from the league at a bargaining table? Who would have greater leverage than Kobe, LeBron, Carmelo and Kevin if they were at the table? With all due respect to Derek Fisher, the players listed above would certainly have more pull when it comes to getting a deal done. The future of the game is on the line here and these multi-millionaire players need to sit with their billionaire bosses. The NBA is coming off one of the most watched finals in years. While one could argue the interest was only in seeing LeBron James fail, there is too much on the line here for LeBron to play a pickup game with his friends. Not to mention, they don’t give out rings in streetball, and there will never be a show on ESPN about his decision to take his talents to the Melo League team. Andy Gershman is co-founder of IsraelSportsRadio.com.
