Shilo Resident Escapes Highway Terror Attack By Elad Benari hilo resident Rotem Bar David faced some scary moments on Wednesday as she was driving to work. Bar Da vid, who w orks as a counselor at the Bnei Tzvi Yeshiva in Beit El , driv es t o w ork daily on Highway 60, the Judea-Samaria Highway. On Wednesday, as she passed by the M a’ale Levona junction, a terrorist with a drawn weapon jumped at her vehicle. “The bus that was in fr ont of me made a right turn at the int ersection,” Bar David recalled the terrifying moments in an int erview with Arutz Shev a. “I accelerated and as I was doing that, I sa w a white vehicle standing past the intersection on the right. Out came a guy with a black c oat who mo tioned me t o st op with his right hand. He held a weapon in his left hand.” “I w ondered wh y his w eapon was raised ,” she added . “Security people do not usually raise their weapons when they inspec t v ehicles. I kept going and I sa w him

pointing his weapon at me. I didn’t stop and just kept driving as he stood there with his weapon pointed at me. I did not hear an y shooting sounds.” “During those moments I sa w my family before my eyes,” Bar David said. “I said, ‘My G-d, I’m a mother, it c ould be a t error attack .’ I hit the gas pedal and saw in the r earview mirr or that as he aimed his weapon at me, an Arab taxi pulled up beside him.” Bar David arrived safely at work and then r eported the incident t o

security personnel. “I talked with m y husband and with Shilo ’s securit y offic er,” she said. “Today I was alr eady driving on that highway once again. I hope they put a militar y jeep at that intersection. I cannot aff ord t o be scared to drive there.” In the past f ew months ther e have been incr eased r eports of rock attacks b y local Arabs along Highway 60. In early S eptember, Palestinian Authority Arabs hurled g rapefruitsized st ones with sharp , irr egular

edges at Israeli vehicles as they passed the village of Halhul, nor th of Hevron. One of the vehicles was hit and damaged, though no one was injured. IDF soldiers sear ched the area for the attackers. About two hours earlier, another v ehicle was similarly damaged . PA Arabs hurled r ocks at an Israelilicensed vehicle as it passed the PA Arab village of El Ar oub just nor th of Beit Ummar and south of Gush Etzion, also on H ighway 60. None of the passengers was ph ysically hurt, and Israeli soldiers spread out to hunt for the attackers. Last y ear, a Hamas cell ambushed and murdered four Jewish residents of Beit Haggai, including a pregnant woman, who were traveling in a car near the Bani Na yim junction. The Hamas terrorist who masterminded the attack , 34-yearold Nashath al K armi, was a r esident of Hevron. In July, students of the Yeshivat Bnei Tzvi in Beit El, where Bar David works, w ere attacked along with their rabbi b y Arab w orkers at the Jordan River Rafting site. ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS

UNESCO announces it will suspend new programs due to a $65 million budget hole caused by its acceptance of the PA. By Elad Benari NESCO’s r ecent ac ceptance of the Palestinian A uthority as a full-member state has c ost it $65 million, the Reuters new s agenc y r eported on Thursday. The large hole in the agenc y’s budget was created by the loss of U .S. funds. The U.S. cut its funding to UNESCO immediately after the UN’s cultural agency approved the PA’s request for membership. As a r esult, UNESC O Dir ector General Irina Bokova said, the agency has temporarily suspended new programs. “We have to take radical st eps and w e have t o take them no w,” Reut ers quot ed Bokova as sa ying at the UNESC O General Conference in Paris. She said that the agenc y w ould c onduct a review of its ac tivities between now and the end of Dec ember, during which new commitments would be put on hold. By r eviewing its c ontractual c ommitments, staffing lev els, travel expenses and communications c osts, UNESC O c ould probably generat e sa vings of up t o $35 million f or this y ear’s budget, Boko va ex plained. She added that the agenc y would then use its $30 million w orking capital fund to c over the r emainder of the $65 million shortfall, but that w ould leave its financ es in a fragile state at the start of 2012. Bokova also appealed for additional voluntary funding fr om other member stat es to bolster agency finances.

New Reports Link N. Korean, Iranian Nuclear Programs News media in Northeast Asia are reporting details of alleged cooperation between Iran and North Korea in trying to build atomic bombs. Such joint activities have been suspected for years. By Steve Herman outh Kor ea’s f oreign ministr y and the national int elligence ser vice sa y they cannot comment on fr esh reports linking Pyongyang’s atomic efforts to Iran. Officials with the agencies c onsidered at the f orefront of monit oring North Korea’s nuclear programs say the allegations, apparently leaked by diplomats in r ecent days, involve classified information.

IAEA assessment The allegations f ollow last Tuesday’s report b y the I nternational A tomic Ener gy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog. The IAEA ’s most c omprehensive assessment yet about I ran’s nuclear pr ograms de tails what it sa ys is evidenc e of I ran’s covert and continuous effort, since 2003, to build a nuclear bomb, going far bey ond the stat ed goals of energy and medical research. Last Friday, Iran’s top envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, called the report a fabrication based on “lousy” intelligence by the United States and its allies. The 25-page r eport has sinc e been leaked and makes no mention of a link be -

tween I ran and North Kor ea. But last Friday U.N. investigators gave a private t echnical presentation t o the 35 member states of the IAEA Board of Go vernors. Since then, diplomats ha ve been quot ed anon ymously by S outh Kor ea media alleg ing that hundreds of Nor th Kor ean scientists and eng ineers have been working at nuclear and missile facilities in Iran.

It said Nor th Kor ea has a t echnological edge over I ran in uranium enrichment and the manufacture of nuclear-r elated equipment, such as high-str ength steel.

U.S. Government Officials Address Jewish Community Security Issues At 2nd Agudath Israel Legislative Breakfast A number of officials representing the United States government at key levels of influence addressed several hundred communal leaders at the Second Annual Legislative Breakfast of Agudath Israel of America last Tuesday (Nov. 8) at the Down Town Association in Lower Manhattan. Speaking to the event’s theme of “Safety and Security in Our Communities,” the officials outlined a variety of areas in which government agencies are acting vigorously to ensure the physical wellbeing of the greater Jewish community both domestically and overseas. By Boruch Shubert oretta E. L ynch, Unit ed Stat es A ttorney for the East ern District of New York, de livered the Keynote Address. She was introduced by breakfast chair, Joseph Z elmanovitz. Ms. Lynch noted that – with New York City continuing to be a major target for potential terrorists – her office has expanded its focus from the agg ressive pursuit of t errorist pr osecutions t o include an emphasis on the prevention of terrorist acts. “We work closely with the FBI and the New York Police Department to immediately investigate any threats of t errorism,” L ynch asser ted, highlighting multiple r ecent cases wher ein po tential attacks on public transpor tation and other lar gely populat ed ar eas w ere th warted. Detailing specific concerns in this regard, the US Attorney informed the audience that the authorities are on the lookout f or Al-Qaeda-mobilized single, “lone-wolf” individuals who ma y att empt t o c ommit ac ts of t error on their o wn; homeg rown Unit ed Stat esbased terrorists; and global t error cells that gain str ength and adher ents thr ough strategic communications via the I nternet. Noting that more than 400 t errorists have been convicted in this c ountry o ver the decade since the 9/11 attacks, Lynch strongly stated her belief that “our federal court system is a proven and eff ective method f or pr osecuting t errorists.” Ms . L ynch was joined at the breakfast by Marshall Miller, who has ser ved as the deput y chief of the criminal unit and today was named criminal division chief. The audience was also treated to Special Greetings fr om Jarr od Bernst ein, P resident Obama’s recently appointed Director of Jewish Outreach, who was mak ing his first pub lic appearance in his new role. Bernstein was introduced b y R abbi Da vid Z wiebel, Executive Vice President of Agudath Israel, who recounted how – just two days before this past Yom Kippur – he r eceived word that a lar ge shipment of lulavim was being held up at the airport due t o securit y-related bur eaucratic

L

red tape, thereby causing numerous Jews to potentially be unable t o fulfill the vital mitzvah of arba minim on the impending Sukkos holiday. After a quick phone call to Bernstein – who was then an official at the Department of Homeland Security – the lulavim were released in a few hours. Speaking on behalf of the pr esident, Bernstein stat ed that the administration is “working daily t o ensur e Israel ’s securit y.” Elaborating on this point, he noted that President Obama has r equested fr om Congress “the largest-ever amount of funding for military assistance for Israel”; spoke at the United Nations r esolutely on behalf of the vitalit y of Israel; and spends a sig nificant amount of time adv ocating f or incr eased sanc tions against Iran. Reprising his appearanc e at last y ear’s Legislative Br eakfast, S enator Charles Schumer r eiterated C ongress’ firm suppor t for the securit y of Israel, specifically with r egard to planned att empts to fur ther cut off Iran’s bank ing po wers and t o fully fund Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system. Turning to the domestic fr ont, S chumer stat ed that “Agudath Israel does an amazing job caring for people in need with its social ser vices,” and he asser ted that – par ticularly with r egard to education and job training programs – “we must cut our budgets car efully” so as not to endanger these vital ser vices. “I have obtained many grants for the security of the community’s shuls and yeshivas,” the senator concluded, reaffirming his c ontinuing close relationship with Agudath Israel. The lar ge audienc e – which included such dig nitaries as N YC F ire C ommissioner Sal C assano, N Y Stat e S enator Daniel Squadron, N Y Stat e A ssemblymen Alec Brook-Krasny and Ror y Lancman, and New York Cit y C ouncilmen L ew F idler and Brad Lander – heard important remarks from several members of C ongress with close ties t o the Jewish c ommunity.

Rockets Resume: Qassam Hits Kindergarten Gaza terrorists launched two Qassam rockets at Israel’s communities in the western Negev late Tuesday afternoon One rocket hit a local kindergarten. There were no physical injuries in the attack, but the kindergarten was badly damaged. By Gavriel Queenann The other r ocket exploded in an open area in the western Negev. No physical injuries or property damage was reported.

The rocket attacks mark a c ontinuation of the airstrikes-for-rocket-attacks paradigm that has defined Israel ’s poor security situation in the south for many years.

The United States: Out of Iraq and into Iran? Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published a report that exposed the atomic 'smoking gun' hidden deep inside the Iranian nuclear installations. This report, however, is not the only recent game changer in the ever-changing fabric of the Middle East. The withdrawal of American troops from Iraq is another gigantic development, which, combined with the Iranian challenge, will dominate Middle Eastern politics in the near future. By Pinhas Inbari .S. withdrawal from Iraq by the end of December fulfills the basic elec toral commitments President Obama made during his pr esidential campaig n in 2008. How closely is the American withdrawal from Iraq linked to the Iranian nuclear crisis, if at all, and is it a precursor to future military options in Iran? It is widely believed that by distancing American troops out reach of a retaliatory strike, the United States is advancing a military option. President Obama’s timing in announcing the withdrawal suggests that it has little t o do with I ran and mor e to do with American outreach to Islam. I t is w orth remembering that the announc ement was g iven on the same day that former Libyan despot, Muammar G addafi, was but chered on the str eets of Sirte, paving the way for the advent of Islam in the tr oubled country. One can make the link age bet ween the t wo and c ome t o the conclusion that the American pr esident sent a message t o nascent Muslim Br otherhood regimes stating that a major obstacle has been r emoved from establishing a new foundation f or East- West r elations, clear of

U

any Western occupation of Muslim lands . I t is also the go verning logic behind the withdrawal of American tr oops fr om A fghanistan. Accordingly, an off ensive against I ran, another Muslim land , w ould be out of the question. However, the withdra wal from I raq may unleash dev elopments that c ould c ompel Washington to re-consider its r eluctance to employ offensive measur es t o c ontain I ran, whether crippling sanc tions or agg ressive military steps. The balance between Iran and its Sunni neighbors will be violat ed with the disap pearance of the equalizing f orce of the American arm y stationed in I raq. M iddle Eastern nations ar e alr eady a ware of this eventuality and f ear its c onsequences. I n a recent int erview with the Washington Post, King Abdullah II of Jor dan expressed disappointment with Obama's regional policy and hinted that the c ountries in the r egion will make their decisions independently of the United States. While Abdullah's statement may come as a surprise, a similar stat ement by I ran is no surprise at all . A pr ominent Shiit e scholar , Ahmad K hatami, said in the holida y sermon in Tehran that the Unit ed States was a

'paper tiger' past its prime and that Muslim Iran equaled it in power. It is clear that both Sunnis and Shiit es shar e this per ception of American weakness. The Unit ed Stat es ma y be f orced t o r econsider its M iddle East polic y not only t o maintain the balanc e bet ween Sunnis and Shiites, but also due t o dramatic dev elopments in K urdistan, which ma y pull the U .S. into the I raq-Iran-Syria-Turkey configuration following the withdra wal fr om I raq. K urdish leadership in I raq curr ently c ontrols an autonomous r egion. I raqi pr esident Jalal Talabani and his opponent M asud Bar zani are very careful not t o provoke its po werful neighbors, Turkey, S yria, and I ran, k nowing that these thr ee powers are largely interested in putting an end t o Kurdish autonomy, which threatens their fragile governments. The Arab upheaval changed the balance in Kurdistan, as the mood of ‘change’ has infected young Kurds’ nascent leadership. They may become more radical in their demands for Kurdish freedom in Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Despite the rivalries between the three pow-

ers, the K urdish community considers them to be co-conspirators as far as their fr eedom and self-determination. For example, Turkey has betrayed splinters from the S yrian army of Kurdish origin, fearing they may share the rule in futur e Syria and inspir e Kurds in Turkey proper to seek political power. How will the American administration r eact, should the three powers unite in their policy toward the Kurds? Will Obama's administration be tray the K urds in the middle of an elec toral campaign? In addition, American r egional considerations may be aff ected by developments in southern I raq – the home of the Shia, who pose a pr oblem for Iran. With the ex ception of the Sadri militia, Iraqi Shiites do not accept Qom’s supr emacy o ver Najaf and K arbala or the I ranian principle of ' Wilayat al-Faqih' – the rule of I ranian scholars as manif ested in K hamenei’s leadership . While the Sadris represent Iranian interests and the predominance of the rule of the F aqih, much like Hezbollah in L ebanon, the Sistani S chool preserves Arab dig nity and choic es, while rejecting Khamenii's superiority. Oddly, American pr esence helped balance the equilibrium bet ween the various religious str eams. Ho wever, it is possible that circumstances will push Arab Shiite and Sunni Muslims t o unite and ask America f or help. Thus, American militar y withdra wal from I raq is far fr om sig naling its political disengagement from the region, leaving the option of I ranian c ontainment wide open, either thr ough sanc tions or a new militar y campaign.

After Stuxnet: Iran Detects Another Computer Virus Just one day after the mysterious blast at a missile base, Iran claims it has foiled a cyber-attack by the Duqu virus. By Elad Benari ran said on Sunda y it had det ected Duqu, a computer virus that exper ts say is based on Stuxnet, the virus that hit the Islamic Republic’s computers last year. “We ar e in the initial phase of fighting the Duqu virus,” Gholamreza Jalali, the head of I ran’s civil def ense organization, told the

I

official IRNA new s agenc y. “The final r eport which says which organizations the virus has spread to and what its impac ts are has not been completed yet.” He added, “All the organizations and centers that could be susceptible to being contaminated are being controlled.” According t o the Reut ers new s agenc y, news of Duqu surfaced in October when security software maker Symantec Corp said it

had found a mysterious virus that contained code similar to Stuxnet. Duqu appeared to be designed to gather data to make it easier to launch future cyber attacks, exper ts t old Reut ers. Stuxnet was aimed at crippling industrial control systems and may have destroyed some of the centrifuges Iran uses to enrich uranium. After Stuxnet tar geted I ran’s nuclear facilities and other industrial sites last year, the Islamic Republic ack nowledged that it had affected a limit ed number of c entrifuges at its main uranium enrichment facilit y in the central cit y of Natanz. Ho wever, it claimed its scientists disc overed and neutraliz ed

the malware before it c ould cause serious damage. In April , I ran said its nuclear pr ogram had once again been attacked, this time by a different computer virus called Stars. The Stuxnet attack is widely believ ed to have been an Israeli c yber-attack, but Israel has not admitted it. The att empted Duqu attack was announced just one da y af ter a m ysterious blast at a missile base southwest of Tehran. 17 people w ere k illed in the explosion, including a senior I ranian Rev olutionary Guards missile expert.

U.S. Defense Chief Warns Against Military Strike on Iran By Luis Ramirez .S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says military action against Iran could have unintended consequences. The warning came at a pr ess c onference last Thursday (Nov. 10). The U.S. defense chief ’s warning f ollows the release this week of a report by the International Atomic Energy agency that says Iran may be carr ying out secr et experiments f or the purpose of developing nuclear weapons. The report bolstered calls b y some in Israel’s government who have been calling for an attack on I ranian nuclear facilities sooner

U

rather than later. At a joint c onference with Joint Chief s of Staff Chairman General M artin Dempsey, Panetta warned against any military action. Panetta said he ag rees with the assessment of his predecessor, Robert Gates, that a military strike would only set the Iranian nuclear program back by three years at most. “You’ve got t o be car eful of unint ended consequences here and those consequences could in volve not only , not r eally det erring Iran from what they want to do, but more importantly it could have a serious impact in the region and it c ould have a serious impac t on U.S. forces in the region," said Panetta. Panetta said the U.S. and its allies should

instead t oughen ec onomic and diplomatic sanctions on Iran to change its behavior. On a visit t o Israel last month, P anetta warned against any unilateral action against Iran. Israel says it will use militar y force only as a last resort. Iran says it will retaliate if attacked. Also in his r emarks Thursday, P anetta called f or an independent in vestigation of the alleged mishandling of U .S. soldiers ’ remains at Do ver Air F orce Base in the U .S. state of Delaware, in a case that has sparked outrage among Americans .

Anti-Semitic Vandalism in Brooklyn Sparks Community Outrage Continued from page 1

This area of Brooklyn, including M idwood and Bor ough P ark, c ontains one of the largest concentrations of Holocaust sur vivors outside of Israel. “The violenc e – I’ m calling it violenc e when you blow up three cars – adds a sickening dimension to this type of anti-Semitism,” said Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who lives two blocks a way and r epresents the 48th assembly district. He said he regularly walked past the benches with his 90-yearold mother t o Sabbath ser vices. “We walk down Ocean Parkway every single w eek,” Hikind said. “All I could think about was my mother sitting on a bench with a swastika. She survived Auschwitz.” “This kind of hateful act has no plac e in the fr eest cit y in the fr eest c ountry in the world,” NY Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said in a statement in response to the incident.

It is estimat ed that the c onstruction of the 550 W est 45th Str eet dev elopment will facilitate the cr eation of appr oximately 2,900 construction and r elated jobs . The o verall plan for the pr oject will also include a new elementary school t o r eplace PS 51, which currently sits on the sit e.

the Bloomberg Administration’s New Housing M arketplace Plan. The plan, launched by M ayor Bloomber g in 2003, is a multibillion dollar initiative to finance 165,000 units of affordable housing for half a million New Yorkers by the close of the 2014 fiscal y ear. To date, the plan has funded the cr eation or preservation of mor e than 125,700 units of affordable housing across the five boroughs. More than 43,200 units ha ve been financ ed in Manhattan with more than 6,860 units in Community Board 4 where the 550 West 45th Street site is located. “This is an absolut e West Side suc cess story,” said C ouncil Speaker Christine C.

In Manhattan, where such r eal estate is scar ce, this pr oject will in vigorate an entire underused square block of the city with a sustainable c ommunity, c omplete with a new elementar y school, 682 units of affordable housing, and 15,000 squar e feet of retail space.” “The g roundbreaking f or this dev elopment is the latest sign that the Far West Side will soon be M anhattan’s nex t great neighborhood,” Deput y M ayor St eel said . “This project is also the latest evidence of the jobs, investment and c ommunity dev elopment impact that M ayor Bloomberg’s New Housing Marketplace Plan is ha ving in neighborhoods in all five boroughs.” “The pr ospect of dev eloping nearly an entire cit y block in one of the M anhattan’s fastest g rowing neighborhoods is ex ceptional. That w e ar e using it t o cr eate mor e than 600 new , aff ordable homes f or har dworking New Yorkers representing a diversity of incomes makes this even more extraordinary,” said HPD C ommissioner Wambua. “Anywhere else, 1,200 total units of housing, thousands of jobs, a school, green space and new retail space could be considered a separate do wntown, a new neighborhood , or a suburb.

Panel Addresses Iranian Nuclear Capabilities at Manhattan’s 92nd St. Y By Jewish Voice Staff ust hours before the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna released their anxiously a waited r eport c onfirming Iran's " development of a nuclear ex plosive device," this very topic was vigorously addressed at a forum at the 92nd Street Y on Manhattan's Upper East Side . Excerpts from the po werful 2011 documentar y, "I ranium" (which documents the genesis of I ran’s nuclear threat, beginning with the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the ideology espoused by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini until today) were screened before the 200 audience members.

The people’s voice [The following messages were received in response to last week’s editorial, entitled “Cynical Sarkozy & Boorish Obama Badmouth Bibi."]

Kristallnacht Comes to Brooklyn ince F riday morning , No vember 11, Jews around the world and especially in the Orthodox enclaves of New York have been r ecoiling in horr or over the overtly anti-S emitic vandalism that took place in the early morning hours near Ocean Parkway and A venue I. Three vehicles were torched and a disturbing array of crude epithets as w ell as the per functory swastikas and KKK emblem were indiscriminately scra wled on cars and benches . A s community outrage reached a fever pitch, it was not ed that this attack was clearly planned t o c oincide with the 73r d anniversary of K ristallnacht (the night of br oken glass), when on No vember 9-10 1938, in a pog rom of mammoth pr oportions that erupted in Hitler’s Europe, almost 200 synagogues w ere destr oyed, o ver 8,000 Jewish shops were sacked and looted, and tens of thousands of Jew s were deported to concentration camps. There is no doubt that w e are living in turbulent times . One need only turn on the TV, c omputer or r ead an y new spaper to find that we are witnessing an alarming escalation of blatant Jew hatr ed. What is most frightening is the fac t that, while the putrid stench of such hatred wafts through the air , a tacit appr oval of sorts looms large in r espectable cir cles that r efuse t o condemn it. One gets the eerily visc eral feeling that this ma y indeed be a r eplication of E urope 1938. On the local sc ene, anti-Semitism has in vaded the discussion of corporate avarice and malfeasance that is being pr omulgated by the Oc cupy Wall Street demonstrations . Sound familiar? Their mantra goes something like this: It is the Jew who c ontrols the banks , and the I nternational M onetary Fund; it is the Jew who is at the vanguar d of the insidious cabal to steal the wealth of the w orld, while the unemplo yment rat es spike and the poor grow poorer. It is time to resurrect the per ennial scapegoat and it is alwa ys the Jew. Let us make no mistake about it. While the hat ers char ge that they ar e mer ely anti-Zionist, w e k now that it is a clev er subterfuge f or classical anti-S emitism. Case in point: Most recently, in Boston, the ‘Occupy’ mo vement att empted t o stage a takeo ver of the Israeli c onsulate, wher e demonstrators spewed forth the hackneyed and utterly baseless claims that the Israelis ha ve assumed the r ole of Nazis in their purported «oppression» of the Palestinians. Anyone who has ey es to see and ears that not only hear but also listen will know that these ar e not sporadic happenings but that Jew hatr ed is a permanent par t of and endemic t o our societ y; a r ecurrent cancer that at times goes int o remission but inevitably reappears in ever more toxic manifestations. Fatal attacks on Jew s and their communities throughout Europe and South America have been taking place for decades while the abject silence of the

S

world is deafening. Each da y w e ar e inundat ed with bloody images of the rise of radical Islam, not only in the M iddle East, not only in the maelstr om of the Arab spring , but in the hear tland of Western civilization. I t is an ideology that is driv en not b y a prototypical miscreant like Adolf Hitler but by a political credo that is c ouched in r eligious doctrine. It is a burgeoning and pernicious movement that calls for the eradication of Israel and of c ourse, the death of the Jew , the primary infidel of all infidels. It is a culture of death where one finds not the r espect for the sanc tity of lif e and yet the world remains taciturn at best and indifferent at w orst. An almost Or wellian situation has emer ged amongst civiliz ed intellectuals in the Western academy who wouldn›t dare express revulsion over egregious acts of t error in the f ear of being labeled «politically inc orrect» in the f ear of appearing pro-Colonialist or pr o-Imperialist (that w ould be “doubleplusungood,” as it were). By dint of sheer repetition of their propaganda, the Islamists and the cadre of Jew hat ers who suppor t them ha ve c onvinced us that the agg ressor is the vic tim, that good is bad and right is wrong. It is also no c oincidence that this week we also c ommemorate the 21st yahr zeit (18th of Chesh van) of R abbi Meir Kahane, ZTK»L, who, in his r elatively shor t lifetime embodied the lone v oice in the wilderness when he spoke so eloquently and presciently about the rise in anti-S emitism and the nebulous future of the Jew in exile. He was a man who called f or Jew s t o r econnect with their G- d, their heritage and to cloak themselves in Jewish pride; to fear no man but only to fear G-d; to rise up from the ash barrels of Auschwitz and to re-create the Jew of y esteryear; the Jew of the bible who knew who their implacable foes were and who nev er hast en t o challenge them. During this most trying week, we would do well to take heed of Rabbi Kahane›s last words on the ev ening of No vember ٥, ١٩٩٠ when he summed things up by saying: «It’s not an ac cident that so f ew German Jews sur vived the camps . The Polish Jew did bett er. Why? Because the P olish Jew wasn ’t surprised . I t didn ’t shock him that gentiles could behave like this. It didn’t surprise him, so he wasn’t shattered inside, he wasn ’t br oken. But the German Jew was psychologically shattered. ‘How could this be? I’m a German. I’ m a German. Ho w could it be? Ho w can y ou do this t o me?’ The Pole knew he was a Jew . The German was broken because his whole illusion was shattered. And that ’s ho w the American Jew lives. ‘I’m an American.’ It’s the gentile who will teach you so quickly that you’re a Jew. It’s not just in the bars, in the working class bars the anti-S emitism that y ou see. When y ou see the new s media and their attitude t owards Israel; it ’s not anti-Israel – it is anti-Semitism.”

Dear Editor: I read about the remarks on the open microphone in France at the summit. As they say the damage is done and apologies are not coming from the heart, only from his intentions to get more votes. Mr. Obama should be the first person to know what it’s like to be the victim of prejudice. How can we as Jews keep forgiving this man and his disgusting treatment toward our race? Mr. Netanyahu, when he came to the White House was treated as if he had a plague. Enough is enough! Any one of our people who v otes for Obama may as well go to France and stay with Sarkozy. G-d bless Israel and her people. Mr. Netanyahu: Take out Iran before they take out Israel! SINCERELY, HARRIET GOLDSTEIN COLARUSSO (RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL)

Editor: Last week’s editorial was an excellent piece of writing. I loved the quotes from Hikind (probably the only Democrat I can respect) and loved the Chassidic tale. Abe Foxman should be more concerned with defending Jews from defamation and let the rest of America take care of its social ills. I lost respect for him years ago. ALL THE BEST, PEGGY STOLER (RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL)

Editor: This administration is not your friend. George Bush was not your friend. Their hearts are not with you. The American people are the friends of the Jewish people & Yisrael but these creatures in office have a dark side which you should fear. Find out who is running that does love and support your right to exist no matter what party and support them. Type CFR next to every major candidate and see if they are a member of this globalist private club. If they are, they are most likely against you. SINCERELY, MAYA E., SPOKANE WA

Editor: Obama’s remarks are, if anything, a blessing in disguise. They should be on the bulletin boards at all U.S. Synagogues. Just a reminder to the weak-kneed Democrat Party Jews that continue to vote against the interests of the Jewish People in order to secure a more comfortable position at lefty cocktail parties. Hussain Obama is an anti-Israel pro-PLO hack, with grandiose ambitions of being some kind of Middle East savior. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continues to suffer on his watch. Twelve more months, and it’s time for him to go. SINCERELY, S.M.F. (RECEIVED ONLINE)

BBC Derails on Jerusalem Tram Story Writing for the BBC, freelance travel writer Matthew Teller veered sharply off-course in his article, “Jerusalem Tram Offers View of Other Side of Tracks,” about Jerusalem’s light railway. by Ricki Hollander & Tamar Sternthal, CAMERA.org he author demonstrat es his shocking ignorance about the hist ory of Jerusalem, about international law, and about present-day Jerusalem with passages that alt ernately suggest that Israel seized, settled and segregated Jerusalem.

T

Distorting History Teller implies that Israel wrongfully seized the cit y from its Arab rulers , with his reference to the “western part of Jerusalem, captured by Israel in 1948, ” and east ern Je rusalem which was ” under Jor danian rule from 1948 until 1967 — when it, t oo, was captured by Israel.” But this is a c omplete distortion of history. Jerusalem — whose Jewish pr esence dates back long before Arab rule and whose Jewish c ommunity has , sinc e 1820, c onstituted a pluralit y of the population – was divided as a result of the 1948 war, in which Arab nations in vaded the nasc ent Stat e of Israel and the Arab L egion att empted t o capture the entire city, both east and west. If anything, the description of wrongfully “capturing” Jerusalem mor e aptly applies to Transjordan’s Arab Legion, which shelled and besieged the cit y, cutting off its Jewish residents from the c oastal plain. I t was the Arab Legion that seiz ed eastern Jerusalem, expelling its Jewish r esidents, destr oying Jewish property and religious sites, and creating a Judenr ein ar ea f or the first time in over 1000 years. In fac t, Western por tions of the cit y came under Israel’s control only as a result of Israel’s attempt to repel the Arab arm y and break the siege of the cit y. I n the first f our weeks of Arab attacks , 200 Jewish civilians were k illed and o ver 1,000 w ere w ounded in Jerusalem. E ventually, Israeli f orces managed to force back the Arab army from some areas and gained control of suburbs and villages from the Arabs. After 10 months of fighting, an armistice agreement was sig ned on April 3, 1949, dividing Jerusalem along the November 1948 ceasefire lines of Israeli and Transjordanian forces, with sev eral areas of no -man’s land.

The armistic e line ser ved as a t emporary border bet ween what had f ormerly been two mixed communities. Western Jerusalem became Israel’s capital city, while eastern Jerusalem, including the holy sit es, was occupied by Transjordan, which in 1949 became the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The city was essentially divided between two armed camps separated by barbed wir e, concrete walls, minefields and bunkers. In contravention of the terms of the armistice ag reement, the Jor danians destr oyed and desecrat ed Jewish r eligious sit es and denied Jew s ac cess t o their holy sit es and cemetery on the M ount of Oliv es, wher e Jews had been bur ying their dead f or over 2500 y ears. The c emetery was ransacked; graves were desecrated; thousands of tombstones were smashed and used as building material, paving stones or for latrines in Arab Legion army camps. And in 1950, Jordan annexed Jerusalem in a mo ve considered illegal by every nation, save Pakistan. The armistice lines w ere sealed as Jor danian snipers would perch on the walls of the Old City and shoot at Israelis across the lines. Again, in 1967, Israel gained c ontrol of the eastern parts of Jerusalem as a r esult of self-defensive ac tions. Israel had appealed to Jordan to stay out of its war with E gypt and Syria, but despit e this appeal , Jordanian forces tried t o take advantage of Israel ’s compromised situation t o fire ar tillery barrages toward Tel A viv and w estern Jerusalem. Although Israeli forces did not respond initially, not wanting to open up a Jordanian front in the war, Jordan continued to attack and oc cupied UN headquar ters in Jerusalem. Israeli f orces f ought back and within two days managed to repulse the Jordanian forces and retake eastern Jerusalem. On June 7, 1967, IDF paratr oopers advanced thr ough the Old Cit y t oward the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, bringing Jerusalem 's holiest sit e under Jewish control for the first time in 2000 y ears. Unlike Jordan, which illegally denied Jew s access to their holy sites, Israeli leaders immediately indicat ed their peac eful int ent and pledged t o pr eserve r eligious fr eedom f or all faiths in Jerusalem.

By Scott Krane ast M arch R abbi Udi and his wif e Ruth Fogel, both in their 30s were killed, along with their 11-y ear-old bo y, 3-y ear-old toddler and a one -month-old infant girl. They all had their thr oats slit. The only survivors of the household , 13-year-old Tamar, Roi, 8 and Yishai Fogel, 2-years-old, now live in Jerusalem with their g randparents. De spite the recent tragedy, they still visit Itamar. In spit e of this lat est t error attack , the 1400 residents of I tamar are tough. Perhaps they are used t o it. I tamar is the lar gest settlement in all of Judea and Samaria. I t was founded in 1984 b y the r ecently-deceased Rabbi Chanan Porat. If it w ere not f or the neighbors ’ animosity, the quality of life on Itamar would be extremely good. There is a beautiful expansiv e vista of the Shomr on, qualit y education, a r emarkable stone quarr y where ancient Jewish ruins were unearthed, displaying a wine c ellar from 2,000 y ears ago . There is an oliv e-oil press, a shop wher e homemade y ogurt is sold. There is ev en horseback riding and a petting zoo. The home of L eah and R abbi M oshe Goldsmith – the ma yor of I tamar – was visited the day before I came b y a team shooting a documentary. Mayor Goldsmith was on the scene immediately when the residents of

L

Itamar learned there was trouble brewing on the fateful Sabbath night of the mur der; as he represents and watches over the community. As I speak to the couple, the phone rings and it is y et another film pr oduction t eam making an appointment t o c ome t omorrow and make y et another documentar y. “It is amazing ho w dra wn the w orld is t o I tamar no w” r emarks R abbi Goldsmith t o his wife, while placing his cell phone back in his pocket. Over the summer, Glenn Beck came to visit the home and comment the community on its strength. Mayor Goldsmith lea ves t o check his email and I sit to chat with Leah. Leah suggests I call the ar ticle I am writing, “Against All Odds.” She explains that “No community has suff ered more loss and be reavement than Itamar.” The rabbi who or dained M ayor Goldsmith was mur dered, shot t o death outside the settlement during the I ntifada. And the night before I arriv ed, an intruder was spotted b y the arm y sneak ing ont o the settle ment, tr ying t o st eal sheep; an oc currence that happens wa y t oo of ten, ac cording t o Goldsmith. The disturbanc es ar e c onstant. But the settlers remain steadfast. No one has left the settlement since the latest attack. “Everyone remains strong” says M ayor Goldsmith, “We even have to build more homes.” Leah Goldsmith explains , “Against the

obstacles fr om the go vernment and the world c ommunity, it sur vives against all odds. Three of m y husband’s students w ere murdered while pla ying basketball in 2001, at the high school of which m y husband is a f ounder. What par ents w ould send their kids t o a school wher e thr ee childr en w ere murdered?” she asks “Yet the school has quadrupled in number of students .” The high school’s dormitories house kids from all over the c ountry; students ar e not just fr om I tamar. On the same r esidential block wher e the F ogels w ere k illed, t wo other families suffered similar fat es. These t error attacks happened nine y ears ago , when Arabs r epeatedly broke into the homes and attacked the r esidents with k nives and guns . “When the Shabos’ were massacred” explains L eah, referring t o one of the families , the neighborhood became a ghost t own. I n spit e of this” explains L eah “we decided t o build fourteen homes on the street. All fourteen of them – one of which was sold t o the Fogels – were sold. The neighborhood was built in response t o the t error.” She t ells me , “I call this against all odds.” Today, the M inistry of Transportation is building a new r oad that c onnects the neighborhood wher e the mur ders hap pened to the rest of settlement. "I t provides light and a sense of securit y for those who live ther e" sa ys M ayor Goldsmith. "S o they are not afraid to travel and not afraid to walk at night." The road is a g ift from the Ministry of Transportation. Another example L eah g ives me , as t o why the ar ticle should be titled " Against all

Odds" is that settlement member, Avri Ram›s chicken c oup, Ginot Olam, is the number one producer in Israel of organic eggs."When a left winger in Tel Aviv is eating his or ganic eggs in the morning , he doesn›t car e about politics. This is against all odds ." pr oclaims the wife of the mayor of Itamar. After the F ogel atr ocity, some childr en from the community suffered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, says Mayor Goldsmith. For this, the r egional c ouncil has pr ovided assistance f or some . There is a hotline t o call where vic tims can speak t o psy chologists. However, it seems as if it is tradition, if not protocol, on Itamar that each time the Arabs from the neighboring village attack , the settlers build more and more. "We are in a g rowth spurt. We are building a new synagogue and school . I tamar is not at all falling back . I t is only going f orward." says Rabbi Goldsmith. The school wher e Rav Udi F ogel used t o teach has no w been t orn do wn and a new school is being built in his name, not to mention a new synagogue and Sefer Torah. Everything except for the new road are being built with privately donated money, just the new road is being built with government money. Mayor Goldsmith and the regional council have been deliberating with the arm y for some months t o c onstruct a new securit y fence outline on Itamar that will slightly alter the settlement›s infrastructure. They are also placing an updat ed security camera sy stem in the wilderness , on the r outes wher e the intruders generally come from.

Israeli Web App Fights Credit Card Fraud By Brian Blum

BillGuard scans your bills for scams, saving users more than $250,000 in first two months of beta testing. If you’re like many people, when you get your cr edit car d stat ement y ou pr obably give it a quick sk im. Going thr ough all the charges line by line just takes too much time, so y ou hope f or the best and trust in y our card provider. That’s not the best idea, sa ys Yaron Samid, CEO of the hot new Israeli star tup BillGuard. But not t o w orry: BillGuar d will do the scanning for you, looking for scams, bad billing practices, double char ges and err ors. Samid estimates that BillGuard finds at least one bad char ge for one out of every fiv e subscribers of the free service. In the first t wo months of beta t esting, BillGuar d, which just r aised $10 million in a second r ound of financing last month, saved users mor e than $250,000 in r efundable charges. That’s a lot of cash to the c onsumer, and it usually c omes dir ect fr om banks , which w ould rather honor a claim than get int o a time consuming dispute. With such benefits t o both banks and c onsumers, it’s little w onder that BillGuar d has alr eady raised $3 million. The company won O’Reilly Media’s 2011 Big-Data Startup of the Year and was a runner-up in the TechCrunch Disrupt 2011 Top Startup of the Year competition.

A people-powered movement Credit card fraud is a crime netting some $7 billion a year for scammers. “10 million US cardholders get hit by some sort of fraud every year, but banks only catch 30 percent of it themselves,” Samid tells ISRAEL21c. After you sign up on the BillGuar d website, the ser vice scans y our online cr edit card statement daily, looking for fraud fr om sources that the c ompany has logged int o its database fr om a wide variet y of pub licly a vailable c omplaint boar ds, discussion groups and even Twitter posts. When y ou see an inc orrect char ge on your stat ement while inside the BillGuar d website, you check a box. As soon as the software senses a patt ern, the disput e is added to BillGuar d’s database and flagged f or the next user . “It’s a people -powered mo vement,” says Samid. “We simply struc ture the data that’s already out there.” The idea behind BillGuar d is the same one every big email ser vice - fr om Gmail t o Yahoo - emplo ys t o beat spam. U sers mark offending emails, and the nex t time a message from the same address arrives, it’s automatically booted into the trash box.

Three types of fraud targeted BillGuard catches three main cat egories of problem charges. First ar e un wanted subscriptions , t ypically “free” cr edit r eports y ou r eceive af ter providing a w ebsite with y our payment details. “What you might not realize is that only the first report is free; after that you’re paying upwards of $15 per month,” Samid explains. Next ar e hidden char ges. C ell phone companies are notorious, Samid points out,

The team behind BillGuard.

The service provides an easy-to-read summary of its findings.

“by baking into the contracts miscellaneous SMS or ring-t one char ges. You don’t r ealize you’re paying an extra $10 per month.” Finally, ther e ar e the subtle frauds . F or example, it’s very easy for a hacker t o create a website with a generic name like Books4UForever, get a merchant account and charge you for a pur chase of $8.99. You look at the charge, tr y t o r emember if y ou bought a book recently, scratch your head and mo ve on. But when the scam is being run on t ens of thousands of cards, that adds up. “And it’s a lot less notic eable than if a hacker is mak ing single char ges f or $8,000 each, ” Samid says. The pr oblem is widespr ead. “If y ou’ve used your credit card to shop online in the last t wo y ears, the chanc es ar e y our cr edit card is sitting on a hacker ’s platf orm no w,” Samid says. Breaches happen daily ; we only hear about the r eally big ones . “The only question is if your card will ever be used.” This raises another question: Why would you f eel c omfortable g iving y our sensitiv e login information to some startup in Tel Aviv? Samid has a handful of answ ers. F irst, you’re not g iving access to your credit card, just t o y our online stat ement. The w orst that c ould happen is that a hacker c ould see where you shop, but c ouldn’t make an y charges. Second, BillGuar d’s in vestors and advisors come from some of the biggest security companies out ther e: Verisign and M cAfee, as well as the lead in vestors in LinkedIn and Skype. And BillGuard doesn’t directly “talk” to the banks – that’s done through a third party called Yodlee, a bank ing industr y standar d for ac count agg regation that Samid sa ys is “rock solid. It’s never been broken into.”

Banks love it Cooperation with banks is key to the system – and also how BillGuard makes its mon-

ey, since the web app is entirely free to the c onsumer. As Samid explains it, banks love BillGuard. “We’re building a central collaborative database [of fraud] that will provide the banks with advanced car d pr otection services. I f w e can w eed out bad merchants fast er, that brings down their costs.” BillGuard will sell the database to the banks , which can then off er the service t o their cust omers. Samid sees BillGuard leading the industr y, cr eating stan-

dards and issuing whit e papers , doing f or billing fraud what the anti-spam industry did for email. BillGuard covers 5,000 issuing banks but is currently only available for US credit cards. Look t o see it int egrated int o personal finance programs like Quicken down the road. The app also off ers an online r esolution service. C ustomers can click a butt on on their online statement and quick ly (even instantly) receive their money back from a disputed transaction, rather than being r outed through an expensiv e call c enter. “The bank can stay entirely out of the loop,” Samid says. Samid en visions cr eating a c ertificate program like McAfee Hackersafe. A merchant would r eceive a dynamic badge displa ying its “BillGuard sc ore,” indicating whether it ’s safe or not to shop there. The Israeli-born Samid had liv ed in New York for many years but moved back to Israel to found the c ompany with 24-y ear-old Raphael Ouzan, who spent his arm y service in the elite 8200 division. The company has 12 people working in Herzliya. Samid is now returning to New York with his family to head up sales and marketing efforts. “From the personal side, it’s definitely a bummer. But there is so much activity going on in the Stat es – it ’s taken off like a r ocket ship,” sa ys Samid , who ’s w ell k nown in the Israeli tech scene for founding an invitationonly Israeli pr ofessional net working organization called TechAviv, which has branches in Tel Aviv, New York, Boston and Silicon Valley, with more than 2,000 members.

Strategic Topography: Prominent NYC Businessman Designs 3-D Map to Teach the Importance of Israeli Security to U.S. Interests Warns of the Dangers of a Palestinian State By Fern Sidman here is no doubt that M ark Langfan is a man with a mission. Back in 1991 this g regarious New York att orney and r eal estat e in vestor was stunned when he observed that most people he met lacked even a modicum of knowledge about basic geog raphical and militar y fac ts pertaining to Israel and the M iddle East. With a prescient eye to the paramount importance that this region of the w orld would play for the future of Western civilization, Mark knew that he had to develop an illustrative teaching tool that would assist in clarifying the inherent dangers t o Israel and the entir e free world. I t was then that he began f everishly researching the geography of the r egion and, based on his r esearch, meticulously designed a definitiv e thr ee dimensional topographical map of Israel including the "disputed" territories of Judea and Samaria, better known to some as the West Bank. Culling his inf ormation fr om such numerous defense news publications, the U.S. State Depar tment, online r esources and research c enters, Langfan›s " America-Israel Security" 3-D map provides the layman with a comprehensive view of the vast mountain ranges of Judea and Samaria and most importantly, the crucial aquif ers of Western Samaria and the proximity of Arab population centers to Israeli settlements . With the use of several clear plastic layovers, the map also details the exist ential danger that Israel finds herself in vis-à-vis the threat to her major population c enters emanating fr om a militariz ed P alestinian-controlled West Bank, allo wing view ers t o understand the lay of the land , geog raphically, politically , and strategically. What is perhaps most r evealing in Mr. Langfan ’s map is ho w it illustrat es the fact that Israel›s natural water supply that originates fr om the Western Samaria aquifer and naturally f eeds the Israeli c oastal aquifer wher e 70 per cent of Israel›s Jewish population r esides, w ould be severely imperiled if w ere the P alestinians in c ontrol of the ar ea. The map also sho ws the Golan Heights and ho w wat er flo ws off its slopes into Syria. It depicts how certain ridges now under Israeli control afford not only unparalleled views of the northern half of Israel, but

clear physical control over the source of the Jordan›s waters. Also sho wn on the map ar e the BM -21 Katyusha "Multiple Rocket Launchers" facing Israel›s c oastal plain fr om inside the West Bank. Explains Langfan, "These launchers can easily be taken apar t and smuggled into a ‘demilitarized’ P alestinian stat e, and individual Katyushas can be launched fr om a pipe using just a car batt ery. Just think about the possible carnage that this c ould bring about. The rockets on this truck ha ve a range of 12.7 miles and Katyushas can easily carr y chemical warheads . One full salv o of rockets from the truck w ould fire the ex plosive equivalent t o four Scud missiles. No apartment in Tel Aviv would be safe." Langfan›s briefing book contains a map of the S yrian tank attacks during the Yom Kippur war of 1973. P ointing t o that page and his 3-D map displa ying the valley s and ridges of the Golan, M ark says that the tank attack routes exactly match the topography. He then points to a weak point in the Golan along a c ertain ridge . "Y ou simply cannot understand what the Golan means without this map," declares Mark. Traveling the w orld t o impart his findings and displa ying his map , M ark delivers presentations t o high- profile opinion mak ers as w ell as members of the U.S. Stat e Department and members of C ongress. "My goal is to educate those who formulate foreign polic y and t o allow them t o c ome to their own conclusions about what needs to be done t o protect American securit y interests in the M iddle East. A fter seeing m y map and hearing the v oluminous amounts of concrete evidence that point to the perils that both America and Israel fac e if a P alestinian state were to come into existence, it is my fervent hope that w e can change the course of history and preserve the lofty civilizations that w e›ve labor ed t o build", sa ys Mark. Lamenting that f or the last 20 y ears the Jewish establishment has seems t o ha ve silently bo ycotted his map and g raphics because, as he puts it, " the inescapable policy conclusions aren’t politically c orrect," Mark tells the Jewish Voice that the C onference of P residents of M ajor Jewish Or ganizations ha ve either ig nored his off ers t o show them the 3-D map or ha ve refused to allow him t o pr esent it alt ogether. He sa ys that the " American Jewish establishment is now as asleep and in t otal denial as they were in World War II during the Holocaust." Proving Israel›s strat egic value t o the U.S. is M ark›s post-9/11 t error war sc enario in which he stat es that a demilitariz ed Palestinian West Bank/Gaza State will ultimately turn Israel fr om a U .S. strategic asset and bulwark against M iddle East ern terrorism, into an albatr oss of sor ts ar ound the neck of the Unit ed Stat es; a def enseless liabilit y that invites attack and can no longer project American military superiority. With his ey e t owards the futur e, M ark explains that without the natural mountain defenses of the Golan and West Bank mountains, Israel w ould be easily eradicat ed and subsequently occupied by Syria and E gypt. He adds that ev en a hea vily militarized Palestinian stat e will be unable t o c ontain either the S yrians or the E gyptians. Without Israel as its strategic protector, Jordan would be easily encr oached by the militarily po w-

erful Hezbollah, the S yrians, the E gyptians and Iran. Syria, he sa ys, currently views Jordan as southern Syria and will fulfill its vision of Manifest Destiny. Mark›s hypothesis is that the well-armed but oil-poor Egyptians, along with Syria and Iran on Saudi Arabia›s nor thern border, will bring the dominant oil supplier in the M iddle East to its knees. Without the Suez Canal in friendly hands, the Western powers will be unable to resupply or defend Saudi Arabia. Despite this damning pr oof that U.S. interests would be best ser ved by protecting their ally Israel , M ark also provides disturbing evidence of the animus t owards Israel that is being espoused by American military leadership. A ccording t o the M arch 2010 testimony of General Da vid P etraeus (f ormer commander of U .S. Central Command) before the S enate Armed S ervices C ommittee, he stat es, " the enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinc t challenges t o our abilit y to advanc e our int erests. Israeli-P alestinian tensions often flare into violence and largescale c onfrontations and this c onflict f oments anti-American sentiment, due t o a perception of U .S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger o ver the P alestinian question limits the strength and depth of U .S. partnerships with go vernments and peoples in the r egion and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world and al-Qaeda

and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support." "When I talk to people about this, I don›t try to foist my agenda on them and I take a low key appr oach," says Mark. But it is clear where he stands on the issue of Israeli se curity and the settlement mo vement. F ar from being classified as "obstacles to peace" as the political z eitgeist would have us be lieve, M ark sa ys that, " the Israeli settlers in Judea and Samaria r epresent Israel›s only line of defense and to expel them from their homes and the land they pr otect is at best a polic y based on wishful think ing and at worst an ac t of ex treme recklessness if not national suicide . I t is our moral obligation to elucidate, explain and c ommunicate the nature and substance of these thr eats to Israeli security while there is still time to avert a monumental catastrophe." Because of his decades-long dev otion and f ervor f or Israel›s securit y needs , M ark and his est eemed father William Langfan will be awarded the prestigious Justice Louis D. Brandeis A ward at the 114th anniv ersary dinner of the Zionist Or ganization of America on Sunda y ev ening, No vember 20th at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City.

Jordan's King Abdullah Calls for Assad's Resignation Jordan's King Abdullah has called f or Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, the first Arab leader to do so since the Syrian go vernment star ted its deadly crack down on an eight-month-long uprising. King Abdullah said in an interview with the BBC Monday that he would step down if he w ere in A ssad's position and cr eate a way for Syrians to start "a new phase of political life." Meanwhile, Syria has accused the Arab League of tak ing a " dangerous st ep" b y voting t o suspend its membership in the regional bloc. In a new s c onference M onday, S yrian F oreign M inister Walid al-M oallem said Satur day's v ote is "illeg itimate" be cause the motion t o suspend S yria did not r eceive unanimous appr oval in the 22-member body. Eighteen nations led by Saudi Arabia and Qatar v oted in fa vor of sanctioning Damascus, while S yria, Lebanon and Yemen v oted against the sanctioning. Iraq abstained. European Union f oreign minist ers meeting in Brussels ag reed Monday to extend existing EU sanc tions against S yria to 18 mor e individuals suspec ted of links to the violent suppr ession of opposition protests. The 27-nation EU also decided t o stop S yria fr om ac cessing funds fr om the European Investment Bank. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov repeated Moscow's suppor t for the S yrian president's go vernment M onday, sa ying Russia opposes Syria's suspension from the Arab L eague. But China 's f oreign ministr y said it is impor tant for Syria to implement the Arab L eague peac e plan as soon as possible. The U .N. human rights agenc y sa ys at least 3,500 people have been killed in Syria in c onnection with anti-A ssad pr otests since M arch. S yria blames much of the violence on f oreign-backed "terrorists and thugs."

EU Ministers Postpone Decision on New Iran Sanctions European Union f oreign minist ers on Monday thr eatened t o tight en sanc tions against I ran o ver its c ontroversial nuclear program but said they w ould wait until their nex t meeting in Dec ember bef ore taking further action. The ministers, meeting in Brussels, also ruled out an y militar y ac tion “at the mo ment,” despit e last w eek's Unit ed Nations report alleging that Iran has been working to acquire equipment and weapons design information. The r eport said Tehran has been t esting high explosiv es and det onators while also developing computer models of a warhead's core. Iran r ejected the r eport and insists its nuclear program is peaceful. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that although the ministers are not yet considering militar y int ervention, “all op tions should r emain on the table .” Dut ch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal ag reed and said “I do not exclude anything.” However, German F oreign M inister Guido Westerwelle c ompletely ruled out talks on military action, saying it would be counterproductive. On Sunda y, U .S. P resident Barack Obama said sanc tions on I ran ar e ha ving “enormous bit e and sc ope.” He said he would c onsult with China and Russia on more st eps t o pr essure Tehran t o st op its

alleged efforts to make a nuclear w eapon under cover of its civilian nuclear program. Mr. Obama met with his Chinese and Russian c ounterparts during the APEC summit in Hawaii. He said Beijing and Moscow agree that I ran cannot be allo wed to develop nuclear w eapons and trigger a nuclear arms race in the region. The U.N. Security Council has imposed four sets of sanctions on Iran because of its refusal to halt nuclear ac tivities that c ould have military as well as civilian purposes. However, neither China nor Russia has indicated they w ould suppor t additional U.N. sanctions in the nuclear dispute.

German Authorities Probe Killings Linked to Neo-Nazis The German government is reportedly taking a fr esh look at a decades-long k illing spree that tar geted immig rants, most of them of Turkish origin. It has been alleged that the k illing of nine shopkeepers, all but one of them with Turkish r oots, has links t o German y's farright neo -Nazi par ty, the NPD . The other victim was of Greek origin. A policewoman was also shot dead in the series of k illings that began in 2000 and ended in 2007.

Israel to Invite Bids for 800 “Settler” Homes The Israeli go vernment said Tuesday it plans to invite bids for the construction of more than 800 new homes in East Jerusalem. Housing M inistry spokesman Ariel Rosenberg said the t enders t o build the new homes in Har Homa and P isgat Zeev settlements ar e expec ted t o be issued in the next several weeks. The decision to speed up the construction in settlements came after the Palestinians w on full membership last month in the U.N. cultural heritage agency, UNESCO, as par t of their unilat eral driv e f or stat ehood. Israel also said it w ould c ontinue t o withhold some $100 million in tax r evenues owed to the Palestinian Authority.

NEWS IN REVIEW

In an unr elated development Tuesday, Israeli authorities arr ested six P alestinians clutching national flags as they tried to enter Jerusalem on an Israeli bus in a bid t o protest what they call Israel's discriminatory policies in theWest Bank, mainly travel restrictions. Palestinians in the West Bank ordinarily need a special permit t o ent er Jerusalem, unlike Israeli settlers living in the t erritory who can reach the Holy City on Israeli buses traveling on Israeli-controlled roads. Israeli officials sa y tra vel r estrictions on P alestinians ar e nec essary t o pr event militants from entering Israel or West Bank settlements to stage attacks.

MKs Laud Continued Withholding of PA Funds In a statement, the Land of Israel K nesset Lobby, headed b y MKs Z e'ev Elkin and Aryeh Eldad , expr essed their satisfac tion with the go vernment's decision t o continue to withhold funds fr om the P alestinian Authority. “The decision sho ws c onsistency, and indicat es that Israel will not ' turn the other cheek' t o the PA,” the stat ement said. Earlier, the inner cabinet decided t o continue withholding tax money Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. The decision is a continuation of the policy begun last month, as an Israeli r esponse to the one-sided PA effort to get the UN to recognize an Arab stat e in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.

NY Judge Rules Against Occupy Wall Street Protesters A New York State Supreme Court judge has rejected a bid b y Oc cupy Wall Str eet pr otesters to return with their t ents to a Manhattan park they had been evic ted fr om earlier Tuesday. Judge M ichael Stallman denied a mo tion by the demonstrat ors who sought t o be allo wed back int o the park with their tents and sleeping bags . I n his ruling , the judge said the health and saf ety concerns cited by the city permitted a ban on those items in Zuccotti Park. The decision f ollowed an earlier ruling that put a t emporary stay on the cit y's decision to ban the protesters from returning to the park with their belongings. The ma yor has said just under 200 people were arrested in the early-morning action, when a lar ge t eam of polic e officers wearing helmets and carr ying shields forced hundreds of protesters to evacuate. Workers then t ore down temporary dwellings and hauled away trash from what had become a tent city. The pr otests ha ve fac ed a rising number of c omplaints b y local r esidents and business o wners who sa y the demonstrators have a negativ e impact on the neighborhood and small businesses . P olice sa y most of the protesters left the park peacefully. The Occupy Wall Street movement has gathered momentum and spa wned similar pr otests in out door parks and squar es in major cities acr oss the Unit ed States as well as in other c ountries. Rec ently, ho wever, polic e ha ve been clearing encamp ments in ar eas such as Oak land, California and Portland, Oregon.

of kosher pr oducts pr oduced nationally is $305 billion. Buyers at the Kosher fest included such well-known r etailers as C ostco, Wal-Mart, Shoprite and Wakefern, Safeway, Winn-Dixie, Stew Leonards, A&P, Key Foods, Acme, Kroger and many more. Buyers today not only look at simple kosher products but also a wide variety of gourmet, upscale kosher foods.

The main ev ent of the Expo f eatured an “Iron Chef-style” competition for kosher r estaurant chefs where the m ystery ingredient was duck br east. The winner of the c ompetition was S eth Warshaw of E TC Steakhouse in Teaneck, New Jersey. The competition was produced in par tnership with the C enter for Culinary Kosher Arts, Brooklyn New York. The runner ups included Chefs Moshe Wendel of Pardes Restaurant Br ooklyn and Craig S olomon of Ariel’s Restaurant of Englewood. The Kosher w orld is not what it used t o be in our par ents’ and g randparents’ times .

The exhibitors included many prominent kosher food manufacturers, and as w ell as a few up-and-comers. The M anischewitz C ompany is a w ell known and “old time ” name that has been totally rejuvenated. Created in 1888 as the B. Manischewitz Company by R abbi Dov Behr Manischewitz, it became the w orld’s lar gest pr oducer of M atzo f or P assover. I t also was until 1986 the pr oducer of the famed Manischewitz Wine. That division was sold to Canandaigua Wine Company in 1986 and the Manischewitz Family sold the c ompany

Not only Jew s c onsume kosher pr oducts. The statistics ar e surprising . The number of kosher c onsumers in the Unit ed Stat es tops 12,100,000 and 21% of Americans who regularly pur chase kosher pr oducts do it specifically because of the kosher c ertification. There are approximately 10,650 kosherproducing companies and plants worldwide with 126,000 kosher c ertified products. The average number of kosher pr oducts in U .S. supermarkets is 19,000 and the dollar value

to a group led by investment giant Kohlberg and C ompany in 1990 f or 42.5 M illion Dollars. The C ompany changed its c orporate name in 2004 t o RAB F ood Gr oup and has now returned to its original brand name, The Manischewitz Company. In an int erview with M r. Alain Bank ier, Co-President and CEO of The M anischewitz Company, the c ompany has morphed int o a huge food conglomerate with a wide variety of diff erent brands and pr oducts. Today,

branding to bring back some of the “memories’ of par ents and g randparents usage of the products. Mr. Bank ier explained that the pr oduct line has been expanded t o include some thing for everyone. Manischewitz is far fr om being just matz o and Tam Tam crackers . The products have been br oken down into three main categories: Health and Wellness, Mediterranean and C omfort. P roducts no w include man y it ems with Health and Wellness seals , with no MSG, lo w fat and man y with low sodium. This also includes a huge Kosher f or P assover line including Or ganic Matzos and Shmura M atzos from Israel. The products line has also been upg raded with the inclusion of M editerranean off erings such as Moroccan Fish Balls (imagine gefilte fish, but with a k ick), from a S ephardic Family Recipe of M r .Paul Bensabat, C o-CEO of Manischewitz. Bank ier fur ther explains that “today the kosher consumer need not be penalized” for their lif estyle, and kosher f oods can include almost anything. The acquisition of S easons F oods adds a huge line of fish products such as Sar dines and the C ohen and Barney ’s lines add the hors d ’oeuvres including their famed pastr y-wrapped hot dogs and canapés.

I f one has not tast ed a Jack’s Gourmet Sausage one has not been exposed to the “Real World of Sausage eating.” The lines in fr ont of the Jack ’s tasting counters attested to the amazing quality and appeal of the one year old line. Introduced at Kosherfest last year as the brainchild of Jack Silberstein, Jack’s has gone wild with a wide array of Glatt Kosher Sausages such asTurkey and Apple Cranberr y, Sweet and Hot I talian, Buffalo St yle, Jamaican St yle Jerk Chicken, Spicy Mexican Style and many more. Kosherfest 2011 was not only a platf orm for food products but also f or various other Jewish oriented products. A very innovative display fr om the Ner M itzvah C andle C ompany of hand-made Ha vdalah Candles drew a huge cr owd. Ner M itzvah pr oduces a diverse and unique line of candle P roducts for Shabbat, Chanukah and Memorial uses. The Bees Wax Havdalah Candles are hand made in their Upstate New York factory by Sabbath observant candle makers. Kosherfest 2011 was a huge suc cess and millions of dollars of orders were taken at the expo. The next Kosherfest will take place at the Meadowlands on November 13-14, 2012.

Among the issues evaluat ed, consumers who have at least one car indicat e that the price of gasoline (79%) is their number one concern, f ollowed closely b y America ’s r eliance on foreign oil (72%).

A vaccine that can kill cancer An Israeli company formulates a drug that ‘trains’ the immune system to seek and destroy malignant cells that have already invaded the body. As we get older, modern medicine will help more of us live with cancer rather than die from it. That’s the assumption behind a vaccine to treat cancer, being developed by a pharmaceutical company in Israel.

Messaging to Remember: The Past and Future of Holocaust and Genocide Education Conference to Convene in NYC Nov. 20-21 at Museum of Jewish Heritage An impressive roster of international scholars, including Dalia Rabin and Special Envoy to the US State Department, Hannah Rosenthal, will come together on Sunday, Nov. 19 and Monday, Nov. 20 to look at the past 60 years of Holocaust education in Europe and the United States. This conference aims to recognize that Holocaust Education in the past often relied on survivors. As time goes on and survivors pass away, educators now need to ask the question of how to engage youth in caring about the tragedy of the Holocaust. The conference will develop new methods, media, and tools for helping future generations appreciate the magnitude of this and other genocides. s the child of a Holocaust sur vivor, and as the mother of a teenage son who witnessed 9-11 at v ery close range, I k new w e needed t o find some way to bridge these two worlds. I kept asking how the lessons of the Holocaust and the horrors of hatred could be made relevant to my son’s generation in a way that felt compelling and authentic. This conference is the answer to that question,” says conference organizer and filmmaker Linda Mills. Panels will focus on the different dimensions of transmission of the hist ory of the Holocaust and will c onsider the inc orporation of print, radio , phot ography, film, YouTube, and the Internet into education about the Shoah. Other more recent genocides will also be examined and c onsidered f or their

As the torch of memory passes fr om sur vivors t o y ounger generations, the question that arises is ho w to honor the singularit y of the Holocaust, while giving young people the t ools to ap ply its message towards contemporary challenges. Holocaust consciousness has been a motivating impulse f or the mobilization of youth towards genocide awareness and humanitarian causes.” Richard Weisberg, Dir ector of the La w and Humanities I nstitute, sa ys, “Law int ertwines with moralit y from time t o time and is never completely powerless in the fac e of immorality; w e need t o learn that w e ha ve choices and to make them fittingly.

Luminaries in the world of Holocaust and Genocide education, filmmak ing, t echnology, religious studies, law and other r elated areas will pr ovide obser vations of the field and tools and techniques for teaching about atrocity.

PARSHA

PAGE 35

Parshat Chayei Sarah(Genesis 23:1-25:18) The Holiness of Hebron By Rabbi Yehudah Appel, Aish HaTorah of Cleveland

ll political c onsiderations aside , it is worthwhile t o understand Hebr on’s place in Jewish thought. The Torah introduces us to Hebron in this w eek’s Torah por tion, Cha yei Sarah. The parsha opens with a description of Sarah’s burial. Abraham, wanting t o find a grave f or his wif e, appr oaches the H ittites, asking for a par ticular burial spot - the ca ve of Machpela. After some onerous bargaining with a wily character named Efron, Abraham purchases the land and buries Sarah there. In subsequent verses, the Torah goes out of its way to mention that Sarah’s grave is not simply in the Cave of Machpela, but is also in the city of Hebron, which the Torah also calls “Kiryat A rba.” Two questions arise: Why did Abraham choose Machpela as the burial site, and wh y does Hebr on ha ve the additional moniker of Kiryat Arba? The M idrash explains that K iryat Arba means “City of the F our,” because f our couples - A dam and E ve, Sarah and Abra-

A

ham, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Leah - were eventually buried ther e. Many of the commentaries explain that because A dam and Eve had been buried in Machpela, Abraham wanted his family buried there. Beyond its sig nificance as the burial sit e for the most famous Biblical c ouples, ther e are other important elements that drive Hebron’s place in Jewish tradition. In K aballistic t eaching, Hebr on - whose root “haber” means “to connect” - is seen as the spot on earth which connects the physical and spiritual w orlds. I n fac t, in Jewish mystical literature, the journey that the soul is said to make as it passes fr om this world to the nex t (and as c ountless people ha ve de scribed in near- death experienc es) is called the “journey through the Cave of Machpela.” Rabbenu Becha ya adds that Hebr on is the plac e that c onnects this w orld t o “The City of the F our” - a spiritual cit y in hea ven called “Jerusalem” - which is said t o possess four levels of holiness. In that holy city above, the soul ultimately connects itself (“hebron”) to the Almighty. Hebron makes its appearance in two im-

portant later Scriptural accounts. In the story of the 12 spies sent b y M oses t o r econnoiter the land of C anaan, Hebron is given as a special gift to Caleb, who alone with Joshua maintained his loyalty to G-d. Furthermore, it is in Hebr on tha t King David begins his k ingship, ruling there for seven y ears bef ore mak ing Jerusalem the

permanent Jewish capital. Given all this historic significance, it is no surprise that Hebron is revered as one of the four “Holy Cities” of Isr ael. Whatever one’s politics, the significance of Hebron in Jewish tradition is long standing, and should not be forgotten in the political maelstrom that has enveloped it.

Haftarah for Parshat Chayei Sarah (I Kings 1:1-31) his week’s haftarah describes an ag ing King Da vid, echoing this w eek’s Torah reading, which mentions that “Abraham was was old, advanced in days.” King Da vid was ag ing, and he was perpetually c old. A y oung maiden, Abishag of Shunam, was recruited to serve and provide warmth for the elderly monarch. Seeing his father advancing in age, Adoniahu, one of K ing David’s sons, seized the op portunity to prepare the ground for his ascension t o his father ’s thr one upon the latt er’s passing – despite King David’s express wishes that his son S olomon succeed him. Adoniahu

T

recruited two influential individuals – the High Priest and the commander of David’s armies – both of whom had fallen out of Da vid’s good graces, to champion his cause. He arranged to be transpor ted in a chariot with fif ty people running before him, and in vited a number of his sympathiz ers t o a f estive par ty wher e he publicizing his royal ambitions. The pr ophet Nathan enc ouraged Bat Sheva, mother of Solomon, to approach King David and plead with him t o r eaffirm his choice of Solomon as his suc cessor. This she did, mentioning Adoniahu’s recent actions of which the k ing had been una ware. Nathan

Panel Addresses Iranian Nuclear Capabilities at Manhattan’s 92nd St. Y Continued from page 16

Joining Ms. Ef tekhari on the panel was former Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle who served in this post during the Reagan administration. Mr. Perle is a member of sev eral think -tanks including the Hudson I nstitute, the Washington I nstitute for Near East P olicy and the C enter for Security Policy. He is also a r esident fellow of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Opening with images fr om "I ranium" in which media personalities report on the immense amount of pr essure I ranian embassies thr oughout the U .S. and C anada placed on those theaters screening the film and their demands that pr esentations be canceled, the panelists offered a hist orical overview of the pr ogenitors of the Islamic revolution and political metamorphoses that ha ve g ripped I ran o ver the last c entury. "When K homeini came t o po wer in 1979, he was nev er elevat ed t o A yatollah, despite c ommon misc onceptions", said Ms. Ef tekhari. She added that the pr evious Ayatollah and the Shah of I ran severed ties in 1962 and it was then that Iranian women were accorded the right to vote. "The Shah's father was a secular ruler who did not f orce women t o c over their hair and if the various mullahs disag reed with his ruling they would be horsewhipped." Condemning then-pr esident Jimm y Carter f or w elcoming K homeini and help ing in the Shah 's oust er, Ms. Ef tekhari said she saw a glaring resemblance between the

"As a liberal Democrat; as a supporter of Hillary Clinton and a fan of Barack Obama, I was t erribly upset and ex tremely disappoint ed t o know that the leaders of my country did not stand up and speak out when the people of Iran exercised their rights of fr ee speech and dissent in June of 2009, f ollowing the national elec tions. Hillary Clint on has said


NOVEMBER 18, 2011 that the leadership of those dissidents demonstrating in the str eets of Teheran did not want help from the USA and I simply don 't believe that." "This is the time for regime change", said Mr. Perle as he addr essed options that can feasibly be implement ed when confronting the I ranian nuclear issue. Taking a flint y posture, he said that, " endless, feckless ne gotiations have proven a failur e with I ran." Recalling polic y meetings he had with the late President Ronald Reagan, Mr. Perle said, "After exploring various strat egies vis-à-vis the Soviet Union, Reagan decided t o bring down the Soviet Union and he was successful, and today, the U.S. policy as it pertains to Iran should be the same.” Envisioning a militar y in vasion of I ran by the U .S., M r. P erle suggest ed "sur gical strikes" on facilities and installations that would a void casualties and the death of large numbers of people . "Military containment is not a viable strat egy. I t essentially translates int o an ac ceptance of I ran's nuclear capabilities. Destr oying critical ele ments of their pr ogram would be the most efficient modality," he said. Citing the abysmal failur e of the sanctions imposed on I ran by the UN, M r. Perle did acknowledge that the people of Iran are feeling the brunt and that "the government in I ran is miserably unpopular ." As a c ountry that produces millions of barr els of oil a day for foreign consumption, Mr. Perle suggested that an int ernational ban on r efined petroleum would create a situation in which Iran would grind to a halt. As t o the r ole of Israel in the incr easing tense standoff with I ran, Ms . Ef tekhari ex tended plaudits to the Jewish people and Israel and exhorted the Jewish state not to fire the first salv o in what c ould materialize as a

The Jewish Voice major Middle East conflagration. "When I was studying in college in I ran, I warmly r emember Israeli students studying ther e and the close friendships we developed. In Iran, Muslims and Jews at one time lived in peace and harmony. I remember the g roups of Russian Jewish childr en that w ere smuggled out of the former S oviet Union and t o Teheran on their way to Israel. We are like c ousins in so many wa ys," said Ef tekhari. Ref erring t o I ranian P resident M ahmoud Ahmadinejad as "a Holocaust- denying midget, " she added that the past 33 years have been an anomaly in the longstanding and fruitful r elationship between the people of Iran and the Jews. Exhorting Israel t o r efrain fr om initiating a militar y assault on I ran, Ms. Ef tekhari suggested that they support a strike of Iranian oil workers for six weeks as a means of confrontation. "We must understand the impact of propaganda being spew ed forth b y the I ranian regime. There are 77 million Iranians and they would hat e Israel if an attack was launched . The r egime in I ran c ouldn't car e less if they lost 100,000 of their o wn citizens as long as it produced hatred for Israel among the population." She also expressed her approval of Israeli government k idnappings of I ranian nuclear scientists and said that their " extrication" was "a good thing" until they can go back t o Iran to actually work on nuclear medicine. "If Israel attacks I ran, it will be because we allowed the regime to violate the human rights of its people . I ran has declar ed that 1.5 million people ther e who expr ess discontent with the government are criminals. Instead of bellyaching about whether Israel is going to attack Iran or not, let's do some thing about it. Iranians are killing Americans as we speak in the Middle East through their terror proxies and we've done nothing to restrain them." she added.

BBC Derails on Jerusalem Tram Story Continued from page 19

Distorting International Law

The religious freedoms enjoyed by Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the reunified Jerusalem had been unhear d of during Jor danian occupation of the cit y, prompting even a former Jordanian ambassador to the United Nations, Adnan Abu Odeh, t o acknowledge that "the situation in Jerusalem prior to 1967 [under Jordanian rule] was one of ... religious exclusion" wher eas post-1967, Israel seeks "to reach a point of religious inclusion ..." (The Catholic Univ ersity of A merica Law Review , Spring 1996). Unwilling t o fac e the situation wher e Jews would again be cut off fr om their ho liest sites, the Israeli K nesset passed a basic law in 1980 declaring r eunified Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. The law provides for pr otection of and fr eedom of ac cess t o each religion’s holy sites.

The author pr esents as fac t that “international la w defines ” the Jerusalem neighborhood of P isgat Z e'ev as "an illegal settlement." O f c ourse, ther e is no int ernational la w that so definitiv ely makes this determination. While the UN par tition plan called f or Jerusalem t o bec ome a c orpus separatum, an int ernational cit y administered by the UN, this was supposed to be for just an int erval of just 10 y ears, af ter which the city's status was to be redetermined in a referendum. And during that period, Jordan essentially nullified the c orpus separatum proposal by illegally occupying eastern parts of Jerusalem. The international jurist Stephen Schwebel, former judge on the Hague’s International Court of Justice, ruled that Where the prior holder of t erritory had

says Levy. “Ten percent will develop the active disease. And while TB can be treated by drugs, it takes several months and it can be brutal.” According to Levy, the vaccine presents no side eff ects, and can be taken indefinitely, like vitamins. ImMucin is designed to overcome cancer cells that mutat e, rendering other drugs ineffective.

A hit for long-term survival Depending on the outcome of clinical trials, the ImMucin vaccine could be ready and marketable within the next six years. It could have major implications for the treatment of leading killers like prostate and breast cancer. New studies in the United States suggest

that fewer men will go under the scalpel t o remove their cancerous prostate gland, and simply liv e with the usually slo w-growing cancer. Vaxil could be a helpful t ool in pr olonging lives of these patients. The specific molecular markers on most cancer cells, which I mMucin “trains” the immune system’s T-cells to find and k ill, were discovered b y the c ompany’s f ounder, Dr . Lior Carmon, a biotechnology entrepreneur with a doc torate in immunology fr om the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Vaxil was founded in 2006, and the company of five is currently based in Nes Ziona, Israel. This year, Vaxil signed a memorandum of understanding to merge its business into Sheldonco, an Israeli c ompany traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

(“What Weight to Conquest,” American Journal of International Law, 64 (1970)) And ther e ar e still int ernational jurists who contend that Israeli settlement in all the territory it captur ed, not only in Jerusalem but in the West Bank and Gaza were and are legal.

Distorting PresentDay Jerusalem The BBC piec e is not just marr ed b y historical and legal misinformation. The article’s false pr emise is that Jew s and Arabs are strictly segregated in Jerusalem, and the author pr esents an anec dote t o illustrat e this mistaken thesis: At the w estern t erminus, as g randpas and Jewish seminar y students disembarked beside forested hills at the cit y’s edge, I no ticed a Muslim mother in a headscar f shep-

While I wat ched, they glanc ed ar ound themselves, as if in a f oreign c ountry, then hurried across the platform into a tram waiting on the other side f or the r eturn journey back into the city. But it is abundantly clear t o anyone who has spent an y time in g rocery stores, shop ping malls , public parks , str eets and public transportation in the w estern par t of Jerusalem — t erritory depic ted as “foreign” t o Arabs — that Muslim women in headscarves are a c ommon sight in w estern Jerusalem and appear ex tremely c omfortable shopping and picnicking alongside Jewish inhabitants of the city. That the BBC chose t o run such an ob viously misinf ormed ar ticle about Jerusalem and its inhabitants c omes as no surprise t o those who ar e aware of BBC ’s bias and who have f ollowed the new s or ganization’s de parture from its code of journalistic ethics to deliberately mislead about Jerusalem.

of reactors and also in the dev elopment of nuclear explosives.

Tracking cooperation Analysts say they ha ve also been track ing, sinc e the 1980s , c ooperation bet ween Pyongyang and Tehran on missile dev elopment. Of utmost concern is whether North Korea has g iven I ran some Russian desig ned advanced missiles . There is no evidenc e, however, that either North Korea or Iran has flight-tested the missile , k nown as the BM 25 or Musudan. Russia denies its exist ence. S ome analysts contend previous public displays of the Musudan in Py ongayng militar y parades were merely fakes. The missile is believed to be based on the former Soviet Union’s R-27, a submarine-launched missile with a range

of between 2,500 and 4,000 k ilometers, designed to carry nuclear warheads. In a pr esentation at a think tank seminar in S eoul last week, Bennett of the R and Corporation, said ther e is wide speculation about the size of North Korea’s possible nuclear weapons arsenal. He said Py ongyang may not ha ve an y w eapons y et but c ould have “as man y as 20” with the number of reliable ones ranging between two and 16. But Bennett is adamant that it w ould be wrong to charac terize Nor th Korea as a nuclear po wer because it has not demonstrated a w orking at omic bomb , despit e carrying out tests of nuclear devices in 2006 and 2009. The two Koreas have no diplomatic relations. They fought a thr ee-year civil war t o a stalemate in the early 1950’s. They technically r emain at war as no peac e tr eaty has ever been signed.

Inaction on the Grandest of Scales "The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions" - Andra Gide By Yossi Goldstein, Israel Sports Radio

candal. Death. K idnapping. S ounds like the makings of a Hollywood movie, but I wish only that were the case. It could also be the pr oduct of my new location, Israel, but thankfully it’s not. This was last week in sports. Try as I might, I cannot r ecall another seven-day period in the spor ting w orld that had as much off-field distrac tions, wherein the ac tual games pla yed w ere of secondary natur e in t erms of sig nificance to fans. Mere weeks after the first World Series since 2002 w ent the distanc e, mor tality, disgrace and a disappearanc e reigned supreme on many minds. Barely a month separat ed from a base ball season wher ein w e witnessed the prowess of the M ilwaukee Br ewers’ R yan Braun -- who may be announced as the National League M ost Valuable Pla yer in the coming days – do we now know of the goings-on, and possible c over-up, at C ollege Station, AKA ‘Happy Valley,’ Pennsylvania. Not far r emoved fr om Ian K insler and his mates from Texas coming oh-so-closeyet-again t o being cheer ed on as champions of Nor th American baseball in the heart of the L one Star Stat e, the w orld mourns the death of , perhaps , one of the hardest-working bo xers in the ring and kindest outside the squared-circle, that being “Smokin’” Joe F razier, the first bo xer to go the distance against Mohammed Ali. Less than a month sinc e the thir d-winningest manager in M ajor L eague Base ball hist ory, Tony La Russa, w on his thir d World S eries title – sec ond with the St. Louis Cardinals – and subsequently retired from the job , that I f ound m yself embedded in a w eek of ther e-are-bigger-thingshappening-around-me-than-sports-itself, like the abduc tion of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos from his home in Venezuela. Where to begin? Joe P aterno, head c oach of the P enn State N itty Lions f or nearly 46 years, was informed in 2002 b y his then- graduate assistant, M ike McQueary, that f ormer de fensive c oordinator f or P enn Stat e, Jerr y Sandusky – who was P aterno’s sideline assistant for 30 years before resigning – had a sexual encounter with a 10-year-old boy in the football team’s locker room area. Paterno subsequently told his superior, the Athletic Director at Penn State, Jim Curley, and left the matter. If, in fac t, Sandusk y is guilt y, (r emember that we do live in a democratic societ y where one is innoc ent until pr oven otherwise), Paterno per formed his legal obligation t o inf orm his superior about some thing of this nature. What Paterno did not do was ac t upon his moral obligation t o either additionally (a) call the police and inform them of what he k new t o be going on at P enn Stat e, (b) disc over what C urley did with the information he was g iven b y P aterno, or (c) attempt to discover the identit y of the accosted child and aid him in getting treatment for the trauma caused b y Sandusk y.

S

The latt er of which the Univ ersity P resident, Graham Spanier , was also " guilty" of not acting upon and so faced the same fate as Paterno. This is a sad story with many still-devel-

Coach Joe Paterno circa 2006. Paterno was heavily criticized for his reaction to the abuse allegations, and was subsequently fired.

oping layers, which proves just how quickly impeccable institutions, and people, can fall fr om g race due t o one ac t or , in this case, an inaction. What c ould a man, aff ectionately known as " JoePa," do under the immense pressure of the allegations t owards one of his best friend's? Not much. Paterno was fired last Wednesday from the only head- coaching position he had ever held, one and a half w eeks af ter he became c ollege f ootball’s all-time winningest coach with 409 career victories. I believed that Paterno should not have been fired until he told his side of the story. Granted there would be a fur or over Penn State officials seemingly not doing an ything, but don't you minimally owe that to the person who single -handedly put y our school on the map? Maybe I'm being t oo k ind t o a senior citizen. Either way, there are questions that may never be answered. Important questions such as: Why announce the disc overy of this in vestigation only da ys after Paterno achiev ed his mile stone? This was a thr ee-year in vestigation b y the State of P ennsylvania into the alleged 2002 incident in volving Sandusky and the 10-year-old, and only 11 months af ter Paterno himself t estified before a g rand jur y regarding his actions on that fateful night. Was Penn State University aware of all the off-field ac tivity, t o the ex tent wher e it k new what the out come likely w ould be, but asked the stat e t o wait until Joe reached the pinnacle of his c oaching career? Why didn 't Joe do mor e than simply inform Curley of the inf ormation he held? Did Paterno really not k now the ex tent of the allegations against Sandusky? Paterno always referred to his studentathletes as his " children." Ho wever, JoeP a

let a real child go b y the wayside when he was needed most, by not following-up and going beyond what the law expected from him. The mott o at P enn Stat e is "Suc cess with Honor." Indeed Paterno was "suc cessful" in do ing what it was the law required of him, but

unearth the answ er t o what P aterno was thinking that ev entful ev ening. We can only speculat e that, perhaps , he did not want t o turn in a friend of o ver 40 y ears and, as such, passed that r esponsibility onto someone else, hoping that nex t individual would answer the call P aterno himself could not.

Former Penn State University President Graham Spanier during happier times. He was forced to resign from his post in the wake of the Sandusky scandal. Although he is no longer president, Spanier is still a tenured professor at the university.

From Penn State to State Penn? Former Penn State University defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is thankfully, despite the name, not Jewish.

the "honor" that goes with being in such a locale where a certain standard is expected – a standar d that JoeP a himself expec ted his athletes to adhere by – a child imploring Joe t o per form the moral obligation that he had towards him at the time , went by the wayside. One could argue that Paterno is from a different generation. He grew up in Brooklyn in the 1930's and 1940's and c omes from a background which is difficult f or us to understand in this day and age. However, I ar gue, and it's difficult f or me because I always liked and admired the way this man oo zed professionalism from his essence and was simply a nic e person, that ev en if that w ere the case , P aterno could not turn the other cheek and look away from the inf ormation that was g iven to him no matter from what time-frame he sprouted. He had t o do mor e than simply ‹pass the buck' to someone else. Wanting to only k now of and f ocus on football's X’s and O ’s and allow everything else t o “sort itself out ” was impossible in such a scenario! When someone is suspec ted of child molestation, and y ou k now about it, y ou become obligat ed t o do y our utmost t o see to it that the accused has the appropriate actions taken against him. Did the institution then, an edific e that we hold t o such high standar ds, value the "JoePa m yth" o ver moralit y and the vulnerability and preciousness of a child's innocent life? Did P enn State slow-walk this investigation because it underst ood what monetary gain it could garner from TV ratings and, thereby, sponsorships w ere it t o retain P aterno thr ough his r ecord-breaking vic tory, and essentially ex change that money for a child's future and innocence? Now that Paterno was fired by the university's Board of Dir ectors, we may never

Nonetheless, ther e is an eerie correlation between Joe P aterno and Tony La Russa. Both w ere captains of their r espective clubs; figur eheads of or ganizations and adored by many. Both saw – or hear d – things that they profess they did not. For La Russa it was steroid use in his clubhouse wher e the likes of M ark M cGuire and Jose C anseco ran rampant. And for P aterno, a singular off-field issue , that he maintained in a pr ess r elease that he didn't know "the extent and very nature of the abuse," accounted for the entire house to come crashing down like a deck of cards. What I pr opose – I'm sur e I'm not the first and c ertainly won't either be the last – is that baseball , and, for that matter, college football's governing body, the NCAA, to address their issues , in t erms of immortalizing these , and other " tainted" men in their respective Hall's of Fame, and cannot let the various r ecords set – albeit under shady circumstances – go b y the wa yside. Both spor ting shrines must allo w a plac e where the "St eroid Era " (baseball) can be recognized and displa yed, and a singularly despicable incident (NCAA) – which may have deeper implications – not be f orgotten. Plac e an ast erisk nex t t o the names of those who ar e " worthy" so they will be remembered for what they did and , more importantly, did not do. This past w eek in spor ts, whether y ou are a die -hard, casual , or c ouldn't-careabout-sports sporting fan, should ser ve as a reminder that no matter how high on the totem pole we reach, there are always decisions made that can cut us down to size. And make no mistake , nobody is ex empt fr om such decision-mak ing. Simply r emember t o f ollow y our c onscience, maintain a moral c ompass and f ollow it. Keep it simple and tell the truth – that way, there’s less to remember.
