Kissinger Called Jews 'Self-Serving,' 'Bastards' Documents from 1972 Show Then-Secretary of State Kissinger, a Jew, Held Anti-Jewish Views By Gil Ronen ranscripts from 39 years ago show that Henry Kissinger, a Jew who later served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon, held anti-Jewish views. In 1972, then-Prime Minister Golda Meir asked Nixon to protest to the Kremlin over its levying of fees for exit permits for Jews who wish to emigrate. The Associated P ress quotes Kissinger as calling Jews “self serving” and using the word
T
“bastards” in reference to them. At the time of the events, AP explains, the White House was “defending its strategy of quiet diplomacy” and sought to assure American Jews that Nixon was very concerned about the plight of Soviet Jews but that quiet diplomacy was the best approach. A White House official, Leonard Garment asked Kissinger for help and guidance, saying he was flooded with letters and phone calls from concerned Jews. The late Alexander Haig, Nixon’s national security adviser, had forwarded Meir’s letter to him as well. Kissinger was Haig’s deputy at the time.
The transcripts show that Kissinger said to Garment: “Is there a more self-serving group of people than the Jewish community?” Garment, also Jewish, replied: “None in the world.” Kissinger was then quoted as saying “What the hell do they think they are accomplishing?” and “You can’t even tell [the] bastards anything in confidence because they’ll leak it.” Kissinger said, however, that he would take up the issue with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and also meet again with Jewish leaders. “They ought to remember what this administration has done,” he added.

U.S. Secret Agents Arrested in Lebanon, Iran White House Refuses to Comment Hezbollah’s recent capture of American spies has severely crippled the U.S. war on the terror group that is responsible for more American casualties than any other group in the past 10 years. ezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah this summer proudly stated that the terrorist organization and political party caught at least two American spies who had infiltrated his organization. American media reported Monday that Hezbollah has nabbed a dozen spies, whose fate is unknown. So far, the White House is refusing to comment on the arrests. White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Monday he would not discuss intelligence matters. But separately, U.S. officials have confirmed to reporters that Iran and Lebanon-based Hezbollah have identified a number of spies. Officials say many have already been, or are in danger of being, executed.

The agents were paid informants working for the Central Intelligence Agency, and they were helping the U.S. gather information about Iran’s nuclear programs and the activities of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The damage to intelligence has been especially high, according to current and former officials interviewed by the Associated Press. Officials said that one of the reasons has been the Bush and Obama administrations’ rush to kill terrorist leaders, taking the emphasis off of spy networks. One deadly result was the killing of seven CIA workers and the wounding of six others in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan two years ago. The terrorist had posed as in informant.

Military rulers said they were prepared to organize a referendum on an immediate power transfer, if necessary. They also promised to begin staggered parliamentary elections as planned on November 28 and to hold presidential elections before July 2012.

Tens of thousands of protesters who massed in Cairo’s Tahrir Square expressed displeasure with Tantawi’s announcement, saying they want to see military rule end immediately.

It is known that Israel and the United States share intelligence at the highest levels, and Lebanon’s capture of alleged spies for Israel has made things even tough in the war on terror in Lebanon. Hezbollah and pro-Syrian parties dominate the Beirut government, which is part of the Iranian-Hamas axis. The U.S. State Department has termed Hezbollah as “the most technically capable terrorist group in the world.” Its alliance with Iran gives both Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic shared intelligence and technology, such as identifying mobile phones used by spies. Some officials have said that being discovered is simply one of the dangers of being a spy. But some officials familiar with the situation say there are also indications the CIA may have failed to take adequate precautions to keep its informants safe.

In an apparent concession to demonstrators, the military council earlier issued a law that bans anyone convicted of corruption from running for office or holding a government position. The move could restrict members of Mr. Mubarak’s former ruling party from competing in the upcoming elections. Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Egypt’s rulers of brutality sometimes exceeding that of Mubarak.

A top Iranian Guards commander has begged Israel to stage an attack so Iran will be justified in throwing the “enemy’ into the “trash can of history.” By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu evolutionary Guards Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Ali Hajizadeh told the Iranian Fars News Agency, “One of our big wishes is that they take this action because it is now a long time that we have piled up huge potential energy and we are eager to spend it and throw the enemies of Islam and Muslims into the trash can of the history.” His comments are part of a continuing and escalating psychological war of words between Iran and Israel and several American officials. Iran has continuously mocked Israel for allegedly bluffing with threats that it will attack Iran in order to delay or stop the Islamic Republic from manufacturing a nuclear weapon. Iran’s constant militant verbal response is thought by some to be bluff because of doubts about whether it has the military power it claims to have.
R
WAS YOUR FAMILY’S PROPERTY TAKEN DURING THE HOLOCAUST?
Nevertheless, the Guards Politburo chief stated, “If the Zionist regime commits such a mistake [of attacking], it would mean that it has entered the final days of its existence, since the Islamic Republic of Iran is a powerful and strong country which can defend its territorial integrity and interests across the globe, especially in the Middle East.” President Shimon Peres, who almost always appeals for using dialogue and not weapons, said earlier this month that an attack on Iran was becoming “increasingly more likely.” While France has warned Israel not to exercise the “military option,” an increasing number of American officials are reaching the conclusion that it is too late for tougher economic sanctions to stop Iran’s nuclear program. John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said more than two years ago that Israel should take the initiative and attack Iran because sanctions and diplomatic “engagement” would not work.

Fatah Embraces Hamas, May Doom Peace Process Fatah, Hamas reportedly agree on elections next May Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas has agreed to form a national unity government with the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist movement in a deal that will apparently force the pro-Western Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to resign. ayyad, an American-trained economist trusted by western governments and who supports negotiations with Israel, has done more than any other Palestinian leader both to build up the West Bank economy and to fight corruption in the Palestinian Authority (PA). The future of the moribund peace process remains in jeopardy, with Abbas scheduled to meet Hamas leaders in Cairo later this month. The two sides are expected to finalize plans for elections next May and form an interim government under which Abbas’ political party Fatah will share power with Hamas, the terrorist organization which aims to destroy Israel. A key Hamas condition is the resignation of Fayyad, who supports the peace process and the two-state solution.

Hamas opposes the peace process and controls Gaza, from where terrorist have fired thousands of rockets against Israeli civilians.

The diplomatic Quartet imposed economic sanctions on comprised of the United States, the PA, demanding Hamas stop its the European Union, Russia and armed attacks against Israel and
accept the peace process. In the wake of the coup, Abbas appointed Fayyad prime minister in the West Bank in 2007, but Hamas in Gaza never recognized the appointment and continues to insist that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is the Palestinian prime minister. The Fatah-Hamas struggle is one of the factors that have kept Israeli-Palestinian peace talks stalled for several years. Another victory at the polls by Hamas may spell the end of the peace process, as Hamas leaders have repeatedly rejected peace negotiations and said they would “never” recognize Israel.

The ritual is followed by the breaking of the fast, dancing, and general revelry. In Ethiopia, the community would ascend to the highest point in their dwelling place and pray for their redemption while facing Jerusalem, a city of mystical centrality in the Beta Israel tradition. The holiday is in fact an act of public self examination, which comes in addition to the private self examination for which each Jewish individual is responsible on

an Jewish community, symbolizes the reacceptance of the Torah led by Ezra the Scribe and that took place before the construction of the Second Temple. Its date is analogous to the 50 days which are counted between Pesach and Shavuot when the Torah was given on Mount Sinai. According to the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews who did not undergo conversion to Christianity and subsequent return to Judaism as did the Falashmura Jews) tradition, the 29th of Cheshvan is also the day that G-d revealed himself to Moses for the first time on Mount Sinai. The word “Sigd” is the Amharic word for “prostration.” The celebration of the festival in Israel is marked by a fast and a gathering
Yom Kippur. During the public gathering, the community reaffirms the covenant and expresses its continued hope for the arrival of the final redemption. Sigd was first celebrated in Israel by members of the Ethiopian community in the early 1980s. In February 2008, MK Uri Ariel submitted legislation to the Knesset that would see Sigd established as an Israeli national holiday. The Knesset officially added Sigd to the list of State holidays in July 2008. The law says that Sigd would be marked on the 29th day of Cheshvan in a special assembly organized by the Ministry of Education. ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS

On Sacred Ground Stern College Graduate Lea New is on a Mission to Preserve a Forgotten Holocaust Burial Site In the small town of Netishin, Ukraine, more than 1,500 Jewish bodies are buried in two shallow graves. The bodies are victims of the Einsatzgruppen, Adolf Hitler’s infamous paramilitary death squads that swept through the region in 1941. There is no monument and the victims’ clothing and shoes, along with fragments of Torah scrolls, prayer books and tefillin still lay on the ground.

But while Ankara’s stance on Syria has pleased Washington and Brussels, observers say this will not necessarily translate into a meeting of the minds on Iran. “I think Iran is a different case and a different issue, where Turkey might have a more nuanced view on how to deal with it,” says Suat Kiniklioglu, who is the deputy head of the ruling Justice and Development Party’s External Affairs Committee and the former chairman of the Turkish parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee. In the end, Turkey will probably be reluctant to oppose the Western allies on Iran, adds Murat Bilhan, an international-relations specialist at Istanbul’s Kultur University and former chairman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry’s Department on Strategic Thinking.

Until now, Ankara has steadfastly refused to enforce European Union or U.S. measures against Iran, saying it is only bound by United Nations sanctions. Observers say Washington and Brussels have been relatively successful in pressuring countries like the United Arab Emirates into enforcing sanctions against Iran. But Turkey, on the other hand, has actually expanded its trade with Tehran. Ankara is in a difficult position due to its dependence on Iranian energy, says Soli Ozel, an international-affairs specialist at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, including for 20 percent of its natural-gas needs. “And it needs Iran in order to get its trucks through

ut analysts say given Ankara’s expanding trade ties with Tehran, such cooperation is highly unlikely. The IAEA’s latest report on Iran says there is a credible risk that the country could develop nuclear weapons, despite persistent denials from the authorities in Tehran, and pressure is growing for a new wave of tough economic sanctions. Along with China, Turkey is one of the two “key players” needed in order to impose effective sanctions, notes Merhad Emadi, an Iran specialist at the London-based consultancy firm Beta Matrix. “But regionally, we cannot overestimate the role Turkey can play in making sanctions more effective, more transparent, and preventing sanction-busting behavior by Turkish businesses and Turkish middlemen and Iranian business agents.
to Central Asia,” he adds. But Turkey will be “hard-pressed to resist” Western pressure to “participate in the sanctions regime,” Ozel says. He also notes that relations between Turkey and Iran are “deteriorating as we speak,” due to disagreements over Syria. Bilateral relations between Turkey and Iran have indeed cooled over Ankara’s strong support for the Syrian opposition, despite repeated warnings from Tehran, which considers Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a key ally. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has persistently claimed that sanctions are ineffective and only hurt ordinary citizens. But he is nevertheless expected to announce economic sanctions against Syria in the coming days.

Shoah Archive Expands to Include Testimonies of Rwandan Genocide The USC Shoah Foundation Institute is expanding its visual history archive to include video recordings of testimonies about genocides other than the Holocaust, starting with a collection of 50 testimonies by survivors of the 1994 genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda. t will be the first time the institute will incorporate into its archive of almost 52,000 videotaped Holocaust-related testimonies the voices of those who experienced other genocides—and it is sure not to be the last. “We are not trying to compare human suffering,” said Stephen D. Smith, the institute’s executive director, who said that the institute had plans to incorporate voices from the Cambodian and Armenian genocides into the archive in the near future. “What we’re trying to do is document each of these

experiences with depth and dignity.” Some video recordings of Rwandan survivor testimony do already exist, Smith said, but this project, which will cost about $500,000 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2012, will ensure that the Rwandan testimonies are as easily accessible and searchable as the institute’s Holocaustrelated testimonies are. The Rwandan project is being conducted in partnership with the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center, an institution based in the

Rwandan capital that was established in partnership with the United Kingdom-based Aegis Trust, an organization Smith founded before he came to the institute two years ago. Over the course of the coming year, a group of Rwandans, including three survivors who are now being trained at the institute, will prepare the video recordings for inclusion in the archive. They will translate the testimonies from Kinyarwanda into English, add subtitles to the videos, and attach tags to the testimonies in the same way that the Shoah archive’s Holocaust-related holdings already are classified. Karen Jungblut, the institute’s director of research and documentation, is directly responsible for the Rwanda project. Jungblut started out as an indexer in 1996, just
two years after the foundation was founded by Steven Spielberg, and ten years before it moved its archive to the University of Southern California, in 2006, to become the USC Shoah Foundation Institute. 3“I spent a lot of time in Lithuania,” Smith, who has spent his career studying the Holocaust of European Jewry, said. “When I got to Rwanda, I recognized it so well: Localized, neighborhood-driven, collaborator-driven killing. By hand.” Smith hopes that the expansion of the archive to other genocides will help the institute advance its educational mission, by illustrating the universality of genocide, that what happened in one place because of one set of ideologies has—and, indeed, can— happen in another place, at another time, because of a different set of ideologies. “Being able to listen to survivors from a range of experiences is going to give [students] a better literacy around these issues, and inspire them to be more sensitive,” Smith said.
become partners in this ongoing success, while acquiring securities that make good business sense – a powerful and compelling motivation to buy Israel bonds.” Development Corporation for Israel (DCI)/Israel Bonds, currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, is widely recognized as being among the primary catalysts for Israel’s rapid evolution from struggling agrarian nation to global economic powerhouse. DCI, Canada-Israel Securities, Ltd., and Israel Bonds International (Europe and Latin America), have secured worldwide sales that, to date, total in excess of $33 billion.
Tapoohi is taking over for previous President and CEO of Israel Bonds President and CEO Joshua Matza. Matza, who served for 18 years in Israel’s Knesset (as well as taking on the role of Minister of Health under the administration of Benjamin Netanyahu), was enormously successful as chief executive of Israel Bonds. Indeed, during his tenure, the organization generated more than $11 billion in sales worldwide. Observers believe that Tapoohi, with his immense wealth of business experience, is a solid choice to pick up the torch from Matza, making the future of Israel Bonds, and therefore of Israel, even brighter.

WAR ON TERROR ‘Lone Wolf’ Terror Suspect Arrested in NYC An ‘Al Qaeda sympathizer’ was arrested in New York City late last week on terrorism-related charges.

He then explained that, as Pimentel was acting on his own initiative, he “represents exactly the kind of threat FBI Director Robert Mueller and his experts have warned about, as American military and intelligence agencies have eroded Al Qaeda’s ability to launch large-scale attacks.” According to media reports, the “Al Qaeda propaganda” that inspired Pimentel included their English-language online magazine, Inspire, which included directions on how to create pipe bombs like those Pimentel was allegedly attempting to make.

Interestingly enough, that plot was also foiled by the NYPD, with the federal authorities refusing to take on the case, as it did not meet the FBI’s definition of “terrorism.” “Whether launched by lone wolves, Al Qaeda, or Al Qaeda affiliates, there have been at least 13 previous terrorist plots since 9/11 targeting New York City,” the mayor said. “This would be the fourteenth.”

U.S.-Israel-Qatar ‘Bunker Bomb Axis’ against Iran? The Obama administration is considering arming Qatar with huge bunker buster bombs, raising the possibility of an AmericanIsrael-Arab attack on Iran. By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu he U.S. Air Force has received a shipment of 30,000-pound bombs, six times larger than those now in use, which can penetrate concrete bunkers. Iran has buried new nuclear plants in rocky mountainous areas and has buried them so deep under concrete to minimize the damage of an aerial attack, even if bunker buster bombs are used. The Air Force began receiving the new monster bombs in September, and Boeing may build as many as 16 of the weapons, a

U.S. military spokesman told Bloomberg News. The B-2 stealth bomber will carry the bombs, which give “the war-fighter increased capability against hardened and deeply buried targets,” according to Air Force Lieutenant General James Kowalski.

ed States wants to be the lone attacker. The timing of the reports with the delivery of the new monster bunker buster may not be coincidental. Qatar, a nation in the Arabian Peninsula, may be next in line to receive them, The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month. Qatar is a key American ally and, along with Saudi Arabia, fears the Islamic Republic’s desire to dominate the Muslim world. Iran’s population, while Muslim, is not Arab. Other Gulf states – Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait – have signed up with the United States to receive more than $60 billion of advanced F-15 airplanes, bombs and other weapons, including the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), which converts unguided “dumb” bombs into “smart” munitions that are guided by an integrated inertial guidance system. The proposed sale of the new bunker buster bombs to Qatar “represents one way the Obama administration intends to keep Iran in check,” the Journal reported. The UAE has a vested interest in diminishing the Iranian nuclear threat – the Persian country claims sovereignty over three of the UAE’s Persian Gulf islands. ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS
Lt.-Col. Leibovich: IDF Adapting to New Threats Borders with Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria most challenging now for IDF srael’s military is adapting to defend against the uncertainty engulfing its neighboring countries, a top Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said last Wednesday (Nov. 16). “The situation for us remains not too definitive at this point,” Lt.-Col. Avital Leibovich, Head of International Media and Communications Branch IDF Spokespersons Unit, said on a conference call hosted by The Israel Project. “For us as a military, we have to be ready in a few fronts, where in the past we were usually ready for one front.” Leibovich summarized the main security challenges Israel faces in a regional environment altered by the “Arab Spring.” Israel’s borders with Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria pose the greatest risks to its population and the IDF. On the northern border with Lebanon, Israel has to contend with the Shiite militia Hezbollah which stores its weaponry under civilian villages in the south of Lebanon. Near Gaza, Israeli citizens now face missiles fired from the Hamas-run enclave that can reach farther into the Jewish state than ever before. And in Syria, uncertainty surrounding the fate of the embattled Assad regime, who last May organized mass marches on the Golan Heights border with Israel, has the IDF concerned, Leibovich said. One worrying development is the use of civilian populations as fronts for military

New Idea: a 'Religious Zionist Knesset Lobby'
Republican Presidential Hopefuls Debate National Security
Fourteen Religious Zionist MKs Find a Way to Unite Without Merging Political Parties
U.S. Republican presidential hopefuls debated how to deal with terrorism, Afghanistan, and Iran’s nuclear program in their latest televised debate.
If you can’t join them, make a lobby out of them. That appears to be the thinking behind a new initiative by Israeli MK Zevulun Orlev (Jewish Home) who wants to establish the Religious Zionist Knesset Lobby. By Gil Ronen Knesset lobby serves as a way of organizing Knesset members around a cause, but carries no real significance in parliamentary activity. Orlev’s initiative was joined by MK Zion Pinion (Likud). Orlev sent a letter to 14 religious Zionist ministers and MKs and to the heads of about 80 organizations, who are invited to the lobby’s first convention. “The Lobby will deal with all matters and subjects pertaining to religious Zionism, such as: the country’s identity and character, education to Judaism and Zionism, religion and State, religious services, settlement throughout the Land of Israel, and care for religious Zionism and its institutions,” he wrote. According to Orlev, the 14 religious MKs and ministers are distributed among seven different parties, and they do not coordinate their actions or hold joint activities. The Lobby will change that situation and help them operate in a more coordinated fashion.

he opening question Tuesday evening went to former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, who for this first time this week took the lead in national opinion polls in the race for the Republican nomination. Gingrich said “all of us are in danger” and the government must use every tool available to stop terrorists who could one day have a nuclear weapon. Of the other candidates, only Congressman Ron Paul disagreed. Paul, well-known for his strong stance limiting government powers, said terrorism is a crime, and should be dealt with like all other crimes. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Utah governor and China ambassador John Huntsman later clashed over Afghanistan. Romney repeated his argument that the president needs to listen to his commanders “on the ground” and be wary of withdrawing troops too soon. Huntsman disagreed, saying the president is the “commander in chief” and must make his decision based on a variety of inputs. He supports a drawdown of troops in Afghanistan. On Iran, businessman Herman Cain said he would support Israel if it had a workable plan to conduct a military strike on Iran to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann criticized President Barack Obama for, in
T
her view, trying to engage and negotiate with Iran. In just six weeks, voters will begin the first of the series of primaries and caucuses to choose who of these eight candidates will represent the Republican Party. Going into Tuesday’s debate, Gingrich held the lead in at least three national opinion polls, with former governor Romney not far behind. Cain is trailing in third after losing support amid sexual harassment allegations and public speaking blunders. The Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday shows likely Republican voters believe Romney has the best chance to defeat Mr. Obama. Romney is already making his case against President Obama with his first television ad of the campaign. The ad sharply criticizes Mr. Obama’s record on the economy. But the White House hit back Tuesday, with press secretary Jay Carney accusing the Romney campaign of “blatant dishonesty” for taking something the president said out of context. Romney’s commercial shows Mr. Obama saying, “If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” But the full statement reveals Mr. Obama was actually quoting the campaign of his rival in the 2008 election, Senator John McCain.

Congressman Bob Turner: “Time to Increase our Commitment to the Security of Israel” A Jewish Voice Exclusive Interview Known in the political arena as the most senior freshman in the U.S. congress, and in the entire country as the man who delivered a shellacking to the President by winning a stunning victory in New York’s 9th Congressional district special election on September 13, Congressman Bob Turner (R-NY) is still driven by the resounding message sent through the District’s voters— which includes one of the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish populations—rejecting the president’s positions and treatment of Israel, as a political outsider and a strong advocate for Israel. By Jacob Kornbluh n an exclusive interview with the Jewish Voice, Congressman Turner, who serves on the House Committees on Homeland Security, Veterans and Foreign Affairs, says he feels the President got the message, but has slipped since. “Do you feel you delivered that message effectively to Washington? Does the President still know your name?” I asked. “Well I think so,” he responded, laughing. “I think the message was delivered. But in politics it kind of wears off, I think this President seemed shaken and well-behaved immediately following the election, and now he’s been slipping a little bit.” Commenting on the recent IAEA report that leaves no doubt about Iran’s goal of obtaining nuclear weapons, Congressman Turner believes that all necessary measures must be applied in stopping Iran from reaching that goal, and that all options must be on the table. “We have to open up all the spigots to work towards a regime change, part of the effort has to be to impose the toughest sanctions ever, to destabilize their economy,” he said, adding that “cyber attacks” were to be used “not only against their cyber infrastructure,” but that we should be using the web to “inform the Iranian people and encourage them to continue the level of discontent and opposition to that regime.” “And while we are at it,” he added. “It’s a good time to let the world know - Iran and everyone else, that Israel is a protected ally, a strategic partner and a strategic military ally, and we would counter no attack without retaliation.” Addressing the deficit crisis and the fail-
I
ure of a bi-partisan Congress to come together on an agreed balanced budget amendment, Turner blamed the Democrats for playing partisan politics by rejecting the Republicans’ effort to address the deficit crisis. “The Republicans on this side of the aisle spent a lot of time fighting among themselves to get a flexible and modest deal amendment proposal passed, we presented that to the full house, it was the same words that (the minority whip) Steny Hoyer approved of in 1995, and it was rejected, we only got about half the needed numbers of Democrats on board. Their leadership held firm; they would not vote for a Balanced Budget Amendment. Well… Whom did they hurt? They have hurt the American people, but why?

defense, this is no time to even discuss cutting aid, this is a time to increase our commitment and let the rest of the world know how strong our commitment is.
“We have a looming crisis on the deficit, and a deficit of confidence, and the only way for it to be restored is a Balanced Budget Amendment, and for them not to accept this,” he said, “is appalling.” “They even applauded it when it failed to get 2/3 of the vote,” said Turner, referring to this gesture also as “unconscionable.” Asked about the super committee’s failure and the President’s proposal for automatic even spending and defense cuts, Turner warns of the consequences that any
camp, we have a looming threat of China, we have a very unfriendly Russia,” adding that “This is the time for a strong America, not a weakened state with a weakened defense.” On the subject of foreign aid, and the recent controversial issue that irked many in the pro-Israel Jewish community, set forward by the Republican presidential candidates, and echoed by Texas Governor Rick Perry at the last GOP debate, proposing that all foreign aid be r educed “to z ero,” including Israel, Turner empathized that while there
is a need in discussion of the way how we approach and handle foreign aid, Israel as a strategic ally of the United States must be excluded from that discussion. “Now is not the time to even discuss cutting aid,” he said. “We need a strong Israel, we need to be there in Israel’s defense, this is no time to even discuss cutting aid, this is a time to increase our commitment and let the rest of the world know how strong our commitment is; this would be a good time to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and take other dramatic steps so the world would see this.” "What kind of other dramatic steps?" I asked. “Well it might be a more active role in the Iron Dome defense technically, and to increase the level of our military assistance and coordination.” Looking ahead to the general elections, and his reelection bid in 2012, (he jokes that he is running every year for office since 2010), we asked Congressman Turner what his plans are to retain the trust of his heavily Democratic district. After spending a year in Washington politics, Turner said he has no doubt that with the help of the Jewish community and the voters that connected to his practical, no-nonsense message in 2011, he will prevail again. “I think the message is going to be the same: you have a fiscally conservative and responsible businessman taking a practical approach to Washington.” “The message will be simple,” he added. “It’s not going to be crafted by a PR firm. And we are going to continue to hammer away on these things, the job that has to be done, restoring prosperity; and we have the formulas for that – lower taxes, less regulations and more confidence... And in order to get all those things done, we are going to need fewer liberal Democrats,” he concluded.

OA Chairman of the Board Dr. Michael Goldblatt presented the Maccabee Award to Judy and Jerome Taylor, noting that they had been “long-time proIsrael activists” who had worked side by side for years on behalf of Israel. He also noted that Judy Taylor’s father had been involved in prosecuting Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg war crime trials, so that working “to protect Jews was in her genes.” Israeli scholar and director of the BeginSadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University, Professor Efraim Inbar, presented the Louis B. Brandeis Award to William K. Langfan and Mark Langfan. Inbar noted that “Bar-Ilan University is the only Zionist university left in Israel,” adding that Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, for example, were “not Zionist” in his opinion. “There are many Bolshevik post-Zionists at these universities, who pack their faculties with similar-minded lecturers. The Israeli universities are overflowing with post-Modernists who undermine not only Zionism but academic truth itself,” he observed. Speaking about the topographical map of Israel that he created, New York attorney Mark Langfan took the audience on a virtual tour of the perils that Israel would find herself in if Judea and Samaria were relinquished to Arab hands.

Later that evening, Steve Goldberg, Vice-Chairman of the ZOA›s national board, introduced the organization’s president, Morton Klein. “Without Mort, there would be no ZOA. Mort rescued it when it was moribund,” he said. “Your shoes are too big and cannot be filled. All the ZOA’s past leaders, including Louis Brandeis and Abba Hillel Silver pale in comparison to Mort Klein.” Commencing his address by praising Christian Zionists for their heartfelt support of Israel, especially at a time Israel has few reliable friends, Klein said, “We applaud Christian Zionists, thank G-d for you. People forget that Israel is called the Promised Land for a reason; because it was promised to the Jewish people by G-d.” He emphasized that, unlike several other Jewish organizations, the ZOA was active in bringing Jewish students not just to Israel, but specifically to Jewish communities in Judea-Samaria like Efrat, Gush Etzion, Maale Adumim, Hebron, Ariel, and so on. During his remarks, Klein launched a blistering assault on such mainstream Jewish organizations as the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee and their respective leaders, Abe Foxman and David Harris for their strong opposition to an Israeli bill on sovereign foreign countries providing millions of dollars to anti-Israel nongovernmental organizations that operate in Israel under the guise of being human rights

organizations. Also taking aim at President Barack Obama for his posture on Israel, Mr. Klein provided direct quotes from a meeting held between the President and Jewish leaders in Washington in which Klein was present. "The President said: Does Israel really want peace? I wonder about that. You›ve got to do some soul searching and go back to your counterparts in Israel and persuade them to genuinely seek peace." “The Arab war against Israel has nothing to do with borders, land, settlements or a Palestinian state,” said Klein. “It is simply oldfashioned Jew- hatred and anti-Semitism. The Arabs don’t want a Jewish state within any borders.” Also delivering a powerful and heartfelt address was Minnesota Congresswoman
Michele Bachmann (R) who is seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2012. Telling her audience that her inextricable ties to Israel and the Jewish people originate in her personal religious beliefs she said, "It all began in the Book of Genesis which says that ‹Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed and whoever curses Israel will be cursed› and I stand behind these Divine words." Underscoring the pernicious threat of a nuclear armed Iran, Ms. Bachmann said that "all options should be on the table" and did not rule out military force.

Peace has eluded us in the Middle East not because Israel builds apartments for their citizens in Jerusalem or because Israel will not retreat to the indefensible 1967 borders as the president would have us believe," she said. Calling for an undivided Jerusalem recognized by the United States as Israel›s official capital she exclaimed, "On my first day in office I will issue an order to immediately move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem." Ms. Bachmann brought the crowd to its feet concerning Jerusalem›s status when she declared, "Not one acre, not one foot, not one inch of Jerusalem will ever be relinquished." Adding her voice to Ms. Bachmann›s was Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) of Florida who received the ZOA›s Cherna and Dr. Irving Moskowitz Award. Introduced by ZOA Board Member Harvey Friedman, he described Ros-Lehtinen as a “national treasure to every Jew in the U.S.” Rep. Ros-Lehtinen said, "Let us make no mistake about it. Ahmadinejad has clearly stated that his intentions are to destroy both Israel and America; the little Satan and the big Satan and we must take this very seriously." Extending appreciation to the ZOA for providing co-sponsors to the legislation that she submitted back in September that calls for the termination of U.S. funding to any UN agency that seeks to recognize Palestinian statehood in the international body, she said, "our money should not go to support bad practices." Acknowledging the leading role of such

colleagues as Indiana congressman Dan Burton who was also present at the dinner and Rep. Bachmann in getting the bill passed, Ros-Lehtinen called for "sweeping bi-partisan support” in getting the bill to the Senate. “My legislation lays down a marker and it says, let›s work together. How will recognizing Palestine bring a peaceful resolution for Israel?" The highlight of the evening was keynote speaker Glenn Beck. Presented with the first ever Sheldon and Dr. Miriam Adelson “Defender of Israel” award, Beck was introduced by Mr. Adelson, a gaming in-
dustry mogul and publisher of Israel Hayom (Israel’s largest daily newspaper). Adelson described Beck as a ”very special man,” adding “We knew he was a giant even before we met him.” “[Beck] tells the truth about the Arab war against Israel,” he said. Noting that the term has come to employed by Israel’s enemies as a pejorative, and a synonym for “racist,” Beck declared that "I wear it as a badge of pride to be a Zionist. The Jewish people and the land of Israel has a right to exist and I am not ashamed to speak the truth."
PAGE 15 Extolling the rich and vibrant legacy of the ZOA as a foremost advocate for a greater Israel, Mr. Beck›s address was frequently punctuated by thunderous applause. Warning of ominous times ahead, he said, "the world is on the eve of profound and dramatic change and we have an 18-month window the change the world." Referencing a panoply of issues such as the geo-political realities of the Arab Spring, the burgeoning Iranian nuclear threat, the nascent Occupy Wall Street movement, the danger of George Soros funded organizations, the incessant animus towards Israel emanating from the Obama administration and the prevalent denial of the Holocaust, Mr. Beck issued a clarion call for unity amongst Christians, Jews and all good people by saying, "We must lock arms and stand as sentinels for if we fail to do so things could get worse. I come to you as a brother and not as a Christian. The world does not hate you, but the enemies of G-d hate you. You, the Jewish people never gave up on G-d. You have been loyal and you never embraced the G-d of the stranger and for that Israel has been promised by G-d to the Jews." In a voice reverberating with palpable emotion and zeal, Beck ruefully observed that "what is happening in the world is grotesque." "When Ahmadinejad of Iran says the Jews will burn in the fiery hell of Islam, he means it. We must say ‹Never Again› and we must mean it. Words are meaningless. It is a time for action and only through the mighty Hand of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will we be saved." Choked up with tears, Mr. Beck vividly recalled his trip to Auschwitz this past sumContinued on page 39

Protesting Hate by Promoting Anti-Semitism “Iranophobia,” an irrational fear of all things Iranian, has become the Islamic regime’s catch-all excuse for international criticism. Groups like the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the representative body of the world’s Muslim nations, are pushing for a United Nations resolution to ban denigration of Islam and other religions. ut hate towards Jews remains a key part of political speech and culture throughout Islamic countries, even those touched by the Arab Spring. A “Million Man March against the Judaization of Jerusalem,” organized by EgyptianAmerican Imam Salah Sultan, was held on Monday in downtown Cairo. Sultan, a former Columbus, Ohio imam who is the rapporteur of the Jerusalem Committee of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, said that his organization would soon issue a fatwa “permitting the blood of Zionists.” He also stated that “there is no excuse for anyone to refrain from Jihad after G-d has removed the affliction, which obstructed us from jihad to liberate Palestine.” Attaching the epithet of“Jew”or“Zionist”to hated leaders has been common of late, such as former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and current Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It is meant to portray repression as a Jewish theme. Old anti-Semitic libels and conspiracy theories are also combined with hate of Israel, to attempt to legitimize these attitudes. Several recent examples from the Middle East Media Research Institute [MEMRI] highlight how this hate finds expression in popular political discourse. These examples serve as the tip of the iceberg, showing that even in countries without a significant Jewish population, anti-Semitism is rampant. “Saturday Hunter,” a virulently anti-Semitic film, is a recent hit in the conservative Islamic Republic of Iran. The story revolves around a boy who goes to live with his religious Jewish grandfather, who is a rabbi, after his Jewish mother marries a Christian. The grotesque imagery of the film portrays religious Jews as murderers fighting a war against “infidels,” as the rabbi tries to brainwash his grandson into participating in the killing.

He urges the boy not “to betray the Jews” and to “never reveal your inner thoughts to anyone,” as he tries to build a “war machine to take over the world.” Managing Director Mohsen Sadeqi argues that his film is simply anti-Zionist, and that it is wildly popular with Iranian audiences. “It is natural that the Zionists are angry about the film screening which make us more strong-willed,” he told the Tehran T imes. But in response to protest letters sent by Iran’s Jewish community to the government, which went unanswered, Sadeqi responded by saying that “Judaism is a symbol of evil” and that “movies like these will continue and will be filmed in the future.” Syrian writer Osama al-Malouhi blends classic anti-Semitic lies with current events in an Oct. 26 article entitled “Syrian Blood for Matzas,” specifically how the Jews love the oppression of the Arab Spring protests. The piece was posted to the website Sooryoon.net, a popular network of Islamists opposed to the embattled regime of President Bashar al-Assad. In his article, Al-Malouhi claims that 80 percent of Israelis support Assad, which is why the world will not stop his crackdown on civilian

A “Million Man March against the Judaization of Jerusalem,” organized by EgyptianAmerican Imam Salah Sultan (above) was held on Monday in downtown Cairo.
Libyan journalist Abdullah Khallaf claims that the now-deceased Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi was, in fact, Jewish, and that his oppression of the Libyan people was inspired by the notorious anti-Semitic forgery “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” that while discredited in the West, is widely believed in the Middle East to be an authentic Jewish text.
protests. He then repeats false claims that Jews “are taking pleasure in watching Syrian blood being spilled. Perhaps the murderer [Assad] will [even] bring it to them for [their] matza,” he writes, in a reference to the ancient blood libel that Jews bake human blood into their Passover food. “Asking myself why Jewish support of Bashar increased [even] after they saw the rivers of Syrian blood this mass-murderer spilled in Syrian towns, an old image leapt to my mind, of Jews bleeding people and using their blood to prepare matzas,” Al-Malhouhi adds. “Logic does not accept this, but the facts prove it.” The same hate is evident in an article for Kuwaiti daily al-Watan, written by journalist Abdullah Khallaf. Former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was actually a Jew, who was empowered as part of a Jewish conspir-
and killed tens of thousands, and the bombing of the [Libyan] people during his last revolution, indicate that he internalized the directives of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Khallaf declared, trying to connect Gaddafi to a discredited anti-Semitic forgery. Gaddafi was also protected by “Jewesses,” a reference to his multiethnic female guard, and “wasted funds” according to supposed “Zionist” directives. Lebanese columnist Bushra Gharz Al-Din invokes the Protocols to argue the exact opposite for local daily Al-Diyar. The Arab Spring is actually a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, Al-Din writes, as prescribed in the Protocols. “About 100 years ago, 300 of the most arrogant elders of Zion convened. [They were] members of 50 Jewish groups who held secret meetings at which they plotted how to enslave
the world,” Al-Din writes. “[They instigated] revolution after revolution, in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Syria, and what is yet to come will be even worse… After all this, the only question left to ask is: How long will we continue to let them [the Jews] toy with us, like puppets on hidden strings?” Adolph Hitler’s anti-Semitic fantasies are also popularly cited. In September, Saudi columnist Khaled Al-Ghanami echoed accusations of Jewish conspiracies for a column in local daily Okaz, which has a circulation of several hundred thousand in the conservative kingdom. As proof for his conspiracy piece, “Liberalism – A Jewish Deception,” Al-Ghanami cites Hitler’s Mein Kampf. “[Mein Kampf] contains many stories about the Jew who lurks in the shadows (according to Hitler), and whose calls for freedom and equality are nothing but diabolical plots aimed at weakening the state, causing anarchy, undermining security, and controlling the fate of the nations,” al-Ghanami writes. “This is because the Jew believes he is superior to others, and he dislikes manual labor, preferring to make the people his slaves by [giving them] interest-bearing loans.” Even where journalists try to distinguish between Jews and Zionists, anti-Zionism is often tinged with hateful rhetoric. In another MEMRI translated article from Qatar’s Al-Arab, Egyptian journalist Sharif Abd al-Ghani laments the popular custom of cursing Jews during Friday sermons. Despite admonishing common anti-Jewish attitudes in religious education and the Arab world’s mosques, Abd al-Ghani also states that local people believe that their curses have “fulfilled their role in the struggle against the Zionist enemy in the best way possible.” Even his positive examples of Jewish scholarship and invention appear to come from a 2006 Pakistani article entitled “Why Are Jews So Powerful?” Examples of anti-Semitism in Arab media, such as the few mentioned above, remain rich in their conspiracies and varied in their accusations. They also match extremely low levels of positive feelings towards Jews, as shown in Pew opinion polls. Ultimately, the common denominator is that increasing freedom hasn’t killed anti-Semitism, and that the Arab world’s trend of hate continues to find new ways to express itself. REPORT BY IPT NEWS

Spy Games When the news first broke that two CIA intelligence networks had been dismantled, one by the Iranians, and one by Hezbollah in Lebanon, I was distraught, to say the least. But when it occurred to me that my friends and colleagues didn’t seem to grasp the severity of the situation, I was dumbfounded. The implications of this recent intelligence debacle are staggering, not only for the poor bastards who got caught, but also for U.S. national security. For those unfamiliar with how HUMINT collection (Human Intelligence, as distinguished from, for example SIGINT or SATINT, referring to Signals and Satellite intelligence, respectively) works, allow me to bring you up to speed. irst of all, those “U.S. spies” who were caught were not American citizens, but rather local informants, who had infiltrated Hezbollah, or obtained access to Iranian state secrets, or what have you. Referring to American CIA operatives as “Secret Agents” is something of a misnomer. The CIA sends out “case officers” (the technical name is constantly changing; I think they’re called “Clandestine Service Operations Officers” now) to stations all over the world. The vast majority of case officers operate out of embassies and consulates, and therefore are afforded a certain degree of protection under international law and custom. If they get caught (caught in a civilized country, anyway), they get PNG’ed (persona non grata – a diplomatic term meaning “and don’t let the door hit you on the way out”), and that’s pretty much it. Cross one potential vacation spot off of your list.
F
There are exceptions, of course, case officers under non-official cover who would be every bit as up a creek and paddle-less as those who were just rolled up in Iran and Lebanon. These operatives, known as “illegals,” can typically slip through the cracks of foreign counterintelligence, and access things that their counterparts posing as diplomats can’t get to. The trade off, of course, is that they operate without a safety net. Okay, so let’s talk about the spies who are making the headlines. These guys, the “agents” or “assets,” are individuals recruited by case officers to do the actual dirty work. The case officer’s job is to pull the strings. They assess, recruit, and manage the agents, who are invariably foreign nationals. Now that we’re clear on terms, what does it mean that these agents, allegedly in the employ of the Central Intelligence Agency, were nabbed by local authorities? Moreover, what does it mean that their capture may have largely been the result of negligence on the part of their handlers? Some media reports indicate that the CIA used the codeword “PIZZA” to discuss where to meet with agents, then met them at a Pizza Hut in Beirut, though U.S. officials deny this. I know what you’re thinking: Beirut has a Pizza Hut?! But that’s neither here nor there.
What it means is that our intelligence gathering capabilities have been severely crippled in two countries where said capabilities are vital to our national interests. In the case of Iran, which is well on its way to obtaining nuclear arms, the need for timely intelligence is obvious. In the case of Lebanon, Israel’s Arutz Sheva has pointed out that Hezbollah has been responsible for more American casualties in the last ten years than any other terrorist group. And of course, if you’re reading this paper, odds are you are concerned as well for the existential peril that Hezbollah and similar groups pose to Israel. It’s not only that these networks have been compromised, though they are. And it’s not only that they were extraordinarily difficult to establish in the first place, though they were. But can you imagine the challenge that the U.S. intelligence community now faces as it attempts to compensate for its loss? A dozen or so agents missing and presumed dead, broadcast via every news outlet on the face of the Earth, doesn’t exactly make a very good recruitment ad (well, maybe for Hezbollah). I can hear the prospective future secret agents now: “Why yes, I do believ e in democr acy. Yes, I would like to help fight the t yrannical regime that afflicts me and my countrymen. Who did you say you were? CIA? You mean, the people who r ecruited m y friend Ibr ahim, met them at Pizza Hut, and dubbed it ‘Operation PIZZA?’ Yeah, they hanged him in the town square.” I don’t think he’s going to be so anxious to follow suit. Would you be? Yes, it’s a riveting story, and yes, it’s the same kind of thing they make exciting movies from. (Syriana Part II, anyone?) But it will have real world consequences. For the agents we let down, it already has. If we recruited them to pass us information about Hezbollah, clearly they weren’t running with the nicest of crowds when we found them. But they were working with us; they deserved better. And more importantly, we need to do a better job of protecting our assets, or we’ll have a hell of a time recruiting any new ones.
Editor, I found myself fascinated by your paper’s coverage of the Kosherfest trade show in New Jersey earlier this month. Baruch Hashem, keeping kosher no longer means having to lower your culinary standards. The Midrash teaches us that for everything that is forbidden to us, there is a kosher equivalent. One example the midrash gives is that, although pork is treyf, there is a kosher species of fish called the shibuta with a remarkably similar taste. While I’ve never had a shibuta filet, I do know the pleasure of pasta chopped with sauce, cheese, and “tofurky” brand “sausage.” What an age we live in! Other than that, though, it’s nice to see kosher manufacturers responding to customers with a more discerning taste, and it’s nice to see so many people seeking out kosher food. Personally, I think it’s a Kiddush Hashem of sorts that “Kosher,” more than just meaning “permissible” for Jews, has come to signify a good, wholesome quality to Jews and non-Jews alike. SINCERELY, CHAIM G. BROOKLYN, NY
Editor, Like you, I have been most distraught by the recent wave of anti-Semitic incidents in Brooklyn. The arsons, the graffiti at the Avenue J(ew) Subway station.... the murder of that poor woman. It’s as if we all stepped in to some kind of time machine and emerged in a time in American history where… was it ever this bad? I’m sure it was, but it must have been before my time. This isn’t the America I grew up in. Or is it? Is it that I’ve been so well-insulated by the comfortable, vibrant Jewish community that forms such an integral part New York society that I never noticed this current of vicious anti-Semitism flowing just below the surface? I’d like to think that I’d have the foresight, if history repeats itself here (as it did in Spain, and Russia, and Germany), to seek refuge in our homeland. That’s what it’s there for. I’d suggest that you and the readers of the Jewish Voice do the same. ALL THE BEST, IZZY S. BROOKLYN, NY
Editor, I read with great interest your paper’s coverage of the recent explosion on the Iranian missile base. In it, you indicated that Israel’s Mossad may have been behind it. I say: Good! I hope so! The Iranian government needs to know that they can’t get away with this kind of nonsense. The rest of the world may stand around, ineffectually wagging their fingers at Ahmedinejad, but leave it to Israel to get the job done. When push comes to shove, they know that words are no substitute for action. And sadly, we Jews know from experience that when a madman in high political office says he’s planning to wipe out an entire nation, you should probably take him seriously. So go ahead, Iran, keep rattling that saber. Just don’t act so shocked when the IDF snaps it in half. SINCERELY, BRUCE M. MIAMI, FL

Effects of an Iranian Nuclear Attack Upon Israel “La commedia ė finita!” –Pagliacci The farce is over and the truth is out about Iran’s nuclear power. CONTENT NOT FOR CHILDREN. By Prof. Louis Rene Beres ow, after so many unpardonable years of deception and self-delusion concerning Iranian nuclear intentions, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has finally confirmed the worst. Its most recent report, urgent in tone, provides meaningful details on secret Iranian nuclear programs. These efforts were vastly more ambitious than was previously believed. According to David Albright, a former IAEA official who reviewed the agency’s findings, underlying IAEA intelligence also concludes that Iran can now “design and produce a workable implosion nuclear device.” This device would use highly enriched uranium as its fissile core. When selective preemptions against certain Iranian nuclear assets and infrastructures might still have been practicable, neither Israel nor the United States chose to exercise its lawful right of anticipatory selfdefense. Now, barring an unlikely eleventhhour defensive first-strike by Israel, Iran’s entry into the Nuclear Club is a fait accompli. For Israel, the state most obviously threatened by these developments, all remaining self-defense options will necessarily be limited to interpenetrating plans for improved nuclear deterrence, and expanded active defense. Almost certainly, these inherently fallible programs will include an end to the country’s longstanding policy of “deliberate nuclear ambiguity,” and substantial additional deployments of both Arrow and Iron Dome missile interceptors. Significantly, unlike the no-longer viable preemption option, these defensive programs could come into play only after an Iranian nuclear force had already been deployed, or after an Iranian nuclear attack
N
had already been launched. Can anyone reasonably expect a newlynuclear leadership in Tehran to be reliably rational? Exactly what could happen to Israel if pertinent Iranian leaders, endowed with offensive nuclear weapons, should, even on a single occasion, proceed to value certain presumed religious obligations more highly than their state’s physical survival? This core question must be raised in reference to all possible Iranian regimes, not only to the present Ahmadinejad government. Although counter-intuitive, regime change in Tehran could conceivably yield an increased likelihood of irrational decisionmaking. Irrationality is not the same as madness. Even an irrational Iranian leadership could maintain a consistent and “transitive” hierarchy of preferences. Enemy irrationality would likely be less dangerous for Israel than having to face a genuinely mad adversary. Still, it will not be Israel’s option to decide which type of adversary it would prefer to face in Tehran. Any Iranian leadership that slouches toward military conflict with the “Zionist Entity” could, sooner than had long been expected, initiate regional nuclear war. Deliberately or inadvertently, as a “bolt from the blue,” or as a fully unintended result of escalation, whether out of an inexorable religious commitment to Jihad against “unbelievers,” or, for much more mundane reasons of miscalculation, accident, coup d’état, or command-control failure, a nuclear Tehran could ignite a real-world “Armageddon.” Thirty-two years ago, I published the first of ten books that contained authoritative descriptions of the physical and medical consequences of nuclear war, any nuclear war. These descriptions were drawn largely from a still-valid 1975 report by the National Academy of S ciences, and included the following very tangible outcomes: large temperature changes; contamination of Continued on page 38

UNESCO Should Read Its Own Constitution “Palestine”’s membership of UNESCO could be under serious legal threat as the vote approving such admission comes under increasing scrutiny. By David Singer he decision to admit the Palestinian Authority (PA) has come at great financial cost to UNESCO and has threatened the abandonment or postponement of many of its worthy and worthwhile programs. UNESCO notes in a Press Release on November 10: The U.S. has withheld its contributions following the admission of Palestine to UNESCO on 31 October. They were required to do so by U.S. laws dating from the 1990s. This leaves UNESCO with an immediate shortfall of US$65m to the end of 2011, and a further gap of 22 percent in its US$653m budget for 2012-2013. Israel has now followed suit and withheld its contribution of US$1.5m (0.3 percent of UNESCO’s budget) for 2012-2013. UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova has now launched an Emergency Multi-Donor Fund to help make up for the very large shortfall resulting from dues withheld by the United States. It has left an enormous black hole that is hard to fill, given the financial crisis enveloping the European Union and its members. One way of rescuing UNESCO from its current predicament would be to approach the International Court of Justice seeking an Advisory Opinion on the legality of the PA’s
T
admission to UNESCO. Two questions need to be answered— even more urgently now—following the UN Admissions Committee failing to agree on whether the PA qualified for membership of the UN as a “peace-loving State” as specifically required by Article 4 (1) of the UN Charter. I. Is “Palestine” a State enabling it to be admitted to UNESC O under A rticle II 2 of the UNESCO Constitution? Article II 2 provides: Subject to the conditions of the Agreement between this Organization and the United Nations Organization, approved pursuant to Article X of this Constitution, states not members of the United Nations Organization may be admitted to membership of the Organization, upon recommendation of the Executive Board, by a two-thirds majority vote of the General Conference. The PA’s applications to both UNESCO and the UN required that in each case it be a State to qualify for membership. The UN Admissions Committee appears to have been divided on whether it so qualified. One could reasonably infer that this was also one of the issues that was foremost in the minds of the UNESCO General Conference where only 51 out of the 137 nonIslamic states voted in favor of “Palestine”’s admission to UNESCO. In customary international law as codified in the Montevideo Convention 1933, it
would appear that the PA did not possess the four necessary legal requirements to call itself a State. UNESCO is required to ensure its Constitution is faithfully observed at all times. Since the UN interpretation appears to contradict the UNESCO interpretation, legal clarification by approaching the International Court of Justice for an Advisory Opinion is justified and indeed necessary. II. Was the P A’s admission to UNESC O unconstitutional because the majority vote required for its admission under A rticle II 2 of the UNESC O Constitution was not reached? The vote for the PA’s admission to UNESCO was 107 for, 16 against and 52 abstentions (which do not count as votes). There are 194 members of UNESCO, so a two thirds majority vote required would be 129. As only 107 votes were in favor, Palestine’s admission to UNESCO did not satisfy the provisions of the Constitution and should be declared invalid. This viewpoint is further strengthened by the provisions of Article II 3 : Territories or groups of territories which are not responsible for the conduct of their international relations may be admitted as Associate Members by the General Conference by a two-thirds majority of Members present and v oting, upon application made on behalf of such territory or group of territories by the Member or other authority having responsibility for their international relations. The nature and extent of the rights and obligations of Associate Members shall
be determined by the General Conference. Clearly the Constitution makes a significant distinction in the specific section of the Constitution dealing with Membership between the vote needed to admit Members and the vote needed to admit Associate Members This clear difference is however clouded by the provisions of Clause IV B 8(a): Each Member State shall have one vote in the General Conference. Decisions shall be made by a simple majority except in cases in which a two-thirds majority is required by the provisions of this Constitution, or the Rules of Procedure of the General Conference. A majority shall be a majority of the Members present and voting. The International Court of Justice needs to be urgently approached to reconcile the apparent inconsistencies and uncertainties posed by these contradictory provisions in UNESCO’s constitution. I put some questions on these issues to UNESCO’s Director of Liaison Office in New York two and a half weeks ago—but have been met by a wall of silence despite sending him a reminder. Approaching the International Court of Justice could prove to be the financial lifeline UNESCO so desperately needs, since a ruling that Palestine’s admission was unconstitutional would assuredly restore America’s financial commitment to UNESCO. Will political or financial pressure win the day? Will the political fallout involving the

There's New York and then there's the rest of the State," said William Macklowe, president and chairman of New York's major real estate corporation Macklowe Properties, at the Seventh annual forum held by Real Deal – one of the leading real estate magazines in the United States. The conference was held over the weekend at Lincoln Center with a crowd of 1,600 realtors, who all appeared to agree that the luxury real estate market in New York is coming to life. Figures presented at the conference show that the sale of building blocks in New York doubled in 2010 as compared to the previous year especially in light of Google's $1.8 billion mega deal. Office occupancy is climbing for the first time in three years and apartments in the city are going for just 14% below their peak prices. The rental market, for the time being, is showing signs of stability with slight increases as people are apprehensive when it comes to buying property and prefer to rent.

Jonathan Adelsberg from the Herrick Feinstein law firm, which specializes in real estate and was one of the event's sponsors, said: "The mayor encourages foreign investments and today we see many foreign investors from Israel, South America, India and especially Canada, because the Canadian dollar is getting stronger."

"It's true that prices dropped, but development and building are almost at a standstill," revealed Nir Amzal of HAP. "The banks have closed the credit tap and Americans, who are accustomed to working with banks, just can't conceive digging into their own pockets. Israelis are used to working with their own money." Rich Schulhoff from Brooklyn real estate agency BNYMLS recommends Red Hook – a port neighborhood on the bank of the east river, not far from Manhattan's financial district. "This year, we've seen a 6% rise in sales and a 4% rise in prices in Brooklyn," he said. "Everything is happening at breakneck speed – once a neighborhood becomes hot, the prices rise and it's on the next neighborhood. "People love Brooklyn because it's very neighborly. Kids can play in the streets and you know who your neighbors are."
'Investing in large buildings in prime locations' Jean Luc Butbul, a local Jewish real estate entrepreneur, said he looked for good deals in lower Manhattan, but that they were hard to come by. "It's like looking for a diamond in a haystack." Butbul explained that he was seeking projects in the range of $30-$300 million and that in the current atmosphere "you have to find projects that no one has heard about yet." Investment consultant and commentator on local TV, Dr. Roger Hanwehr, who is interested in mega-projects, said the best places in New York to invest in were the large buildings in good locations along the river with a view. "Like they say – location, location, location. Investing in a dump in the notion that some developer will come along and turn the area into Beverly Hills is just wrong."

involvement in other more recent disasters in Japan, Haiti, Chile and Iceland. This year’s Gala was therefore named “Children of the World.” The CCOC has had from its inception the intense involvement of the famed movie producer Steven Spielberg, and Steve’s sister and brother in law, Nancy Spielberg Katz and Shimon Y. Katz. In addition to the Spielbergs, the chairpersons for the event included Jeanie and Jay Schottenstein, Linda and Haaris Toib, Julia and Norman Bobrow, Chippy Meta, Adele and Alan Clingman, Jody Durst, Orly and Issy Hackmon, Jamee Natella and famed actor Jon Voight. Jon Voight, who both actively served on the gala committee and as the eloquent master of ceremonies for the dinner event, is one of the most involved celebrities for Jewish causes in the world. Jon, who travels to Israel numerous times each year, is a devout Christian Zionist who truly believes in the word of G-d and the Torah’s commandments of resettling the land of Israel. As many have stated, “Jon is more Jewish than many Jews in the World.” Celebrities present at the event included Jon Voight, Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Elle Fanning. Also on the affluent and influential guest list were cosmetics and business Executive Ron Perelman, President of Universal Ron Meyer, fashion industry executive Elaine Gold and boxer Yuri Foreman. Celebrity Chairs included Billy Crystal, Matt Damon, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Douglas, Edie Falco, Tina Fey, Elie Tahari, Judges Judy and Jerry Sheindlin and Dakota Fanning. Awardees at the CCOC Dinner included Actor Kirk Douglas, who received the Children at Heart Award. Kirk, who is 95 and who’s birth name is Issur Danielovitch, is the

son of illiterate Jewish-Russian parents. In his acceptance speech he said “I came from Belarus region where the Chernobyl region is and it might even have been my own relatives who I could have lost over there, so that’s why this is such an important charity.” Michael Douglas added to his father’s remarks that he was very proud of the family’s long involvement in Children of Chernobyl and that he was proud to have received the Children at Heart Award himself in 2004. Elaine Gold, President and CEO of Elaine Gold Enterprises, LLC and fashion accessories executive received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Dakota and Elle Fanning, sister
actresses who are A-list performers and have appeared worldwide received the Children of the World Award and up-and-coming businessman Joshua Chaitowsky received the New Leadership Award. The dinner included a video tribute and congratulatory message from Steven Spielberg. The celebrity fantasy auction was one the main fund raising activities of the evening. Goods and services were auctioned off both in a silent and traditional auction. The auctioneer was the famed Sports and News Anchor for NBC-TV, Bruce Beck. In past years, the Children of Chernobyl Gala raised over 1.5 million dollars.
Young Israel Movement to Present “Ladies’ Night Out” to Benefit Former Residents of Gush Katif The National Council of Young Israel (NCYI), in conjunction with the Young Israel of Avenue K, is presenting "Ladies Night Out" to benefit the former residents of Gush Katif. The event will take place on Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 8:00 PM at the Young Israel of Avenue K, which is located at 2818 Avenue K (at the corner of East 29th Street), in Brooklyn, NY. Women and girls are invited to attend the December 4th event. he event will feature "Stay Young Eat Right" by Esther Hornstein; Singing Sensations Rachael and Sarah Hinda Appelbaum; a fashion show presented by Unique Boutique; a jewelry sale courtesy of Designs by Nechie; and a Mini Chinese Auction. In addition, refreshments and sushi will be served. Admission to the event is by donation. Since August 2005, when they were forcibly expelled from their homes and their communities, many of the former residents of Gush Katif and Northern Shomron have been struggling mightily to provide
T
for their families. Many of them still do not have jobs, and much of the financial aid that was promised to them never arrived. According to NCYI Director of Programming Rebbetzin Judi Steinig, all proceeds from the December 4th Ladies Night Out will go directly to help the former residents of Gush Katif and will provide them with much needed economic assistance. The event is being spearheaded by Dena Nierenberg of the Young Israel of Avenue K, who has coordinated numerous events to benefit the former residents of Gush Katif.

Kenya to copy Israeli urgent care model The African country will implement the Terem clinics’ remote consultation technologies to treat patients who don’t require a hospital visit. By Daniel Ben-Tal he Kenyan Health Ministry has decided to adopt the Jerusalem-based model of Terem independent emergency medical centers and set up a similar chain of clinics of its own, a move that will likely transform the African country’s health-care system. “The Kenyans are very dynamic people who are trying really hard to have a successful, democratic, prosperous society,” says Terem’s assistant medical director Dr. Nahum Kovalski. Earlier this year, the Kenyan Health Ministry’s director-general came to Jerusalem to see the clinics in action. “They want to set up close to 50 community-based emergency care clinics, each servicing a few hundred thousand people in surrounding communities,” Kovalski tells ISRAEL21c. “This is a huge project -- reshaping a health system for a country of 35 million people.” Terem operates five urgent care centers in the Jerusalem area, with more than 250,000 patient visits a year. Only seven percent of them get referred to hospitals. Israeli Health Ministry statistics show that per capita, 30 to 50 percent fewer patients turn up
T
at hospital ERs in areas also served by Terem, meaning that the system significantly reduces stress on emergency rooms. “A simple ankle fracture doesn’t need to go through a hospital. We X-ray the injury, then treat it,” he says. “Most fractures can be cast on the spot. Then we send them home. The patient pays a maximum of NIS 86 [about $22].” The primary care physician provides follow-up care.
Real-time remote consultations What particularly interested the Kenyans, says Kovalski, is Terem’s use of the latest medical and communication technologies. “Access to remote consultation tools is key. We have the ability in real time to review material together. Say a doctor wants a second opinion on an X-ray: It can be sent anywhere, via mobile phone or computer interface. We were one of the first groups in the world to use consultations via mobile phones in a real-time environment.” Inaugurated in 1989, Terem was the brainchild of Dr. David Appelbaum, a Detroit-born rabbi and specialist in internal and emergency medicine, who was tragically killed in a 2003 terrorist bombing in Jerusalem. Today the company employs more than 200 people. Kovalski, who headed teams of Terem

physicians on study tours of Kenya, earned a computer science degree at McGill University in Canada before studying medicine. “You have to communicate with local doctors and custom-design each system for its market,” he says, noting that most households in Kenya have mobile phones and Internet speed there is improving. “We are doctors who understand technology, not just technologists who understand medicine. We understand the medical needs and can customize the solutions. “As long as you have Internet, you can have real-time streaming of information. By using portable ultrasound devices, we can revolutionize health care. We’re going to see a lot more use of ultrasound in the future -- I’ve heard it said that ultrasound is the stethoscope of the 21st century.”
Proximity will save lives Another major advantage of the planned clinics is their accessibility. Kovalski points
out that the primary killers of children in the Third World are dehydration and pneumonia -- “simple” diseases, he calls them. “If you can get medical care closer to communities, instead of having them walk another day to a hospital, it will save lives.” The clinics also will offer community health education. “At this point we have a complete package. Oracle is providing the infrastructure, including computers, servers, Internet and software support.” The Medical Consultancy and Construction Group (http://www.mccgrouplondon. com), which Kovalski says “builds field hospitals like Lego,” is responsible for linking the components. “We’ll be doing the training, and will bring specialist teams to develop customized software for their problems,” he says. “We have a large number of well-trained, dynamic doctors who want to be part of this project.” The World Bank is expected to provide funding for the project. Kovalski is confident that this is the right time to enact changes in approaches to medical care. “It’s almost a perfect storm. As cell phone technologies come of age, this combination of medical knowledge as a package is pretty unique. We’ve already been approached by other African countries. Once it’s working in Kenya, it’ll take off.” ISRAEL 21C
No Joke: Israel's Medical Clowns Harnessing the natural potential of the hormones released in laughter, Israel is making forays into the realm of medical clowning. In Israel, medical clowns are no joke: they are considered co-therapists in patient care. Medical clowns are trained during a three-month course in Israel and the country offers a medical clowning bachelor’s degree - the only one of its kind in the world. srael, considered a world-leading pioneer in this form of therapy, was chosen to host an international conference on the physical benefits of medical clowning because of its contributions to the field. The symposium drew some 250 participants from some 25 countries. The conference highlighted new breakthroughs in medical clowning such as reducing anxiety levels and helping patients undergo painful procedures. Israeli doctors showed, among other things, that medical clowns helped young children avoid highlevels of sedation before they entered kidney imaging after infections. Israeli hospitals were highlighted for the medical clown’s full integration into the hospital staff. The process started in 2002 when three clowns joined the staff of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem. The results were outstanding, experts say, leading Israeli hospitals to begin incorporating clowns into their medical staff from that point on. At Alyn, a children’s rehabilitation hospital in Jerusalem, medical clowns are part of the psychology department because they “deal with the children’s spirit,” said Ruth Palmor, the head of the hospital’s psychosocial department. As such, the medical clowns sit in on staff meetings to get a well-rounded view of their patients. They then help develop
I
rehabilitation programs and activities with physiotherapists or other experts. Medical clowns often use simple solutions and fun methods to coax children and adults into routine therapy needed for their recovery. They also improve the quality – and quantity – of treatment. For example, medical clowns can help physiotherapists work with children on speech and physical strength simultaneously. Palmor told a story about a young boy who had endured painful skin grafts after he was severely burned. Palmor said that the staff’s medical clown, Noam Rubinstein, found a simple solution – a bubble machine – for the boy to play with to help him through the physiotherapy procedure. The boy was instructed to flex and clench his muscles around small balls—a task that was very painful—by enticing him to burst as many bubbles as possible. “For every 15 bubbles you burst, I’ll make you an animal balloon,” said Rubinstein. The boy was intrigued; he performed the mundane physiotherapy exercise and successfully burst a lot of bubbles for more than 45 minutes, winning himself the handsome reward! Medical clowns also help to alleviate social and cultural gaps. For example, Alyn treats a wide-range of children from Israel, Gaza, Siberia and more. The children also come from diverse family and financial

backgrounds. The clowns use universal techniques that reach across social gaps to reach the children and make them feel at home while at the hospital. “We empower children to view themselves as whole despite their disabilities,” said Sigalit Ofer (left), one of the main medical clowns at Alyn. She explained that they use laughter – a natural and strong healing tool – to help children open up and to emphasize their natural motivation to heal. Ofer regularly helps children rehabilitating from physical trauma regain physical and cognitive control. She works with speech pathologists and physiotherapists on memory games, stretching techniques and motor skills activities. Walid, a seven-year old patient at Alyn, shouted with glee when he saw the clowns perform a “spontaneous intervention,” a
comical clown combustion. The interventions create an environment of excitement and laughter—often causing the children to erupt in a fit of laughter as in the case of Walid. A Spanish medical clown Begona Pino told The Israel Project: “We have learned a lot about Israel’s expertise with medical clowns. What we’ve seen here [at the conference] is a role-model for our program in Spain. We [medical clowns] haven’t reached the point of integration that Israeli hospitals have.” The Magi Foundation - the fund that runs the Dream Doctors program that utilizes medical clowns in hospitals - has more than 80 medical clowns working in areas ranging from internal care and surgery to centers for child victims of sexual abuse and psychiatric wards in Israel.

Mentally Ill Patient Planned to Kill Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Meyer Baraness, 50, of Safed (Tzfat) said he planned to kill former Sephardic Chief Rabbi and Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef during the last prayer of the Tisha B’Av services at the Western Wall. Baraness, who is known to the police, has been described as “mentally deranged”by officials who note that he previously sought to murder the late Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Bistritzky of Tzfat, seriously injuring him in the attempt. Baraness, once a member of a Chabad faction, planned to go to the Western Wall for Tisha B’Av armed with a sharp piece of glass, with the aim of cutting Rabbi Yosef’s throat. Fortunately for Rabbi Yosef, Baraness felt ill that day so he chose not to attend the services at the Western Wall, which may have saved Rabbi Yosef›s life. At this stage it remains unclear whether Baraness› account of his plans are coherent or delusional, but because Baraness - who is currently under psychiatric observation - did make a similar attempt recently, his claims are being carefully considered. In July another man - also mentally unstable - stabbed and murdered Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, son of the reknowned Baba Sali.
Israeli Strike on Iran will ‘Jam, Blind, Deafen’ Defense An Israeli attack on nuclear sites in Iran would go beyond air strikes from fighter planes and likely include electronic warfare against Iran’s electric grid, Internet, cellphone network, and emergency frequencies for fire and police services, according to a report by Eli Lake, a correspondent for Newsweek and the Daily Beast. For much of the last decade, writes Lake, “Israel has been assembling a multibilliondollar array of high-tech weapons that would allow it to jam, blind, and deafen Tehran’s defenses in the case of a pre-emptive aerial strike.” U.S. intelligence officials are reported as saying that Israel has developed a weapon capable of mimicking a maintenance cellphone signal that commands a cell network to “sleep,” effectively stopping transmissions. The Israelis “also have jammers capable of creating interference within Iran’s emergency frequencies for first responders,” they said. In the 2007 attack on a suspected nuclear site in Syria, Israeli planes “spoofed” the enemy’s air-defense radars, “at first making it appear that no jets were in the sky and then in an instant making the radar believe the sky was filled with hundreds of planes,” Lake writes. Israel also likely would exploit a in Iran’s big-city electric grids, which are not “airgapped”—meaning they are connected to the Internet and therefore vulnerable to a Stuxnet-style cyberattack—officials reportedly said. The likely delivery method for the elec-

The D aily Beast quotes U.S. and Israeli officials as saying that one version of the drone can fly up to 45 straight hours. It is not clear why U.S. officials would want to leak any of this information – unless they were bluffing, or trying to derail Israeli plans for a strike.

Turkish Journalists Go on Trial Over Alleged Coup Plot A total of 13 defendants, most of them journalists, went on trial in Turkey Tuesday after being linked with a group allegedly attempting to overthrow the country’s Islamic-based government. The journalists included two well-known investigative reporters, who have been held in prison since March. The defendants are among hundreds of people, including journalists, academics and retired and serving senior military officers, who are already on trial in an investigation of the secularist network, Ergenekon. Prosecutors say the group plotted in 2003 to bring down the government through bombings and other attacks to discredit the government and trigger a military coup against the ruling Justice and Development Party. The trial highlights international concerns about press freedom in Turkey. Foreign journalists traveled to Turkey to attend the trial. Those who could not get in demonstrated outside for their colleagues’ release and unfurled a banner saying there can be no free society without free journalists. Turkish authorities have detained more than 300 people as part of a wide-reaching investigation into Ergenekon.
German Politicians Pledge to Fight Neo-Nazis The German parliament has condemned a wave of neo-Nazi killings and the failure of police to stop a years-long murder spree that targeted immigrants and left at least 10 people dead. All members of parliament, in a rare show of cross-party unity Tuesday, rose to express remorse for the country’s failure to protect the immigrants from the extremists. Speaker Norbert Lammert acknowledged the widespread criticism of authorities for not stopping or connecting the crimes, saying, “We are deeply ashamed.” The deputies adopted a joint declaration pledging to do everything possible to investigate the case and implement measures to prevent a repeat. A small neo-Nazi group calling itself the National Socialist Underground is suspected in the killing of nine immigrant shopkeepers — eight of them of Turkish origin. The other

was of Greek origin. A policewoman was also shot dead in the series of killings that began in 2000 and ended in 2007. German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week labeled the murders right-wing terror and a “disgrace” for Germany, whose Nazi past makes right-wing militancy a particularly sensitive subject. She urged a concerted effort be made to track down those responsible, along with a fresh drive to ban the radical neo-Nazi National Democratic Party. Earlier efforts failed on legal grounds. About 3 million people of Turkish origin live in Germany. German politicians are outraged that the group operated undetected by police for so long. The neo-Nazi organization was not discovered until two members of the group committed suicide earlier this month. In a related development, new details about the extremists indicate the 2007 death of the policewoman may have been linked to a personal connection to the far right group. Authorities said Tuesday Michele Kiesewetter may have been killed after her father attempted to rent a bar in a small eastern German town that was used by neoNazis for gatherings.
Tunisia’s New Assembly Holds Inaugural Session Tunisia inaugurated its new Constituent Assembly Tuesday following a power-sharing deal between the so-called “moderate Islamists” and secular parties. The 217-member assembly began work almost a month after the tiny North African country held its first democratic elections and 10 months after a popular revolt ousted longtime president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. The first tasks were formalities — swearing in Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali from the ruling Islamist Ennahda party, President Moncef Marzouki from the center-left Congress for the Republic party, and assembly speaker Mustafa Ben Jafaar of the Democratic Forum for Labor and Liberties, or Ettakatol. Lawmakers tasked with drafting a new constitution and political system sang the national anthem and were joined by senior officials in the incoming coalition government and ministers in the outgoing Cabinet. The new Cabinet, which faces many challenges including attracting foreign investments and reviving the country’s faltering economy, vowed to hold new elections in a year. About 1,000 protesters, including relatives of people killed in the revolt, gathered outside the assembly building on the outskirts of the capital, Tunis. The demonstrators were from dozens of different organizations, many representing women calling for their rights to be guaranteed under the new constitution. Among the protesters was the mother of Mohamed Bouazizi, the young vegetable seller who immolated himself last December in an act of protest that triggered the revolution. Ennahda took 90 of 217 assembly seats in last month’s polls – three times the number won by its nearest rival. Its leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, said his party would work to form a new government in “friendliness” and
PAGE 25
“brotherhood.” The secular Congress for the Republic placed second with 30 seats, while Ettakatol came in third with 21 seats. Tunisia’s landmark elections were widely considered free and fair.

U.S. Economic Growth Slower Than Estimates The U.S. economy grew more slowly than first estimated in July, August, and September. Tuesday’s report from the Commerce Department says the gross domestic product expanded at a 2 percent annual rate during the third quarter. That is half a percentage point less than a preliminary estimate. New data showing that companies have been slow to restock shelves prompted experts to cut their assessment of economic growth. Some economists say growth is likely to pick up a bit in October, November and December. An expanding economy is needed to create the millions of jobs needed to cut the unemployment rate from its current 9 percent.
Polls: Gingrich Leads Republican Presidential Contenders The latest U.S. public opinion polls show Newt Gingrich in the lead among Republican contenders for next year’s presidential election. A Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday shows Gingrich with 26 percent support among likely Republican voters. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is not far behind with 22 percent, while 14 percent of those surveyed favor Georgia businessman Herman Cain, and the rest of the field trails in single digits. When limiting the choice to just the two front-runners, Gingrich and Romney, the difference is even larger. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed selected Gingrich, compared to 39 percent for Romney. But when it comes to the candidate with the best chance to defeat President Barack Obama, Republican voters pick Romney over Gingrich. Gingrich also surged into first place in two other national polls — a CNN/Orc International survey, and a joint poll by the USA Today newspaper and the Gallup Organization. The Republican presidential contenders will have a chance to collect more support Tuesday night when they gather in Washington for a two-hour televised debate. The discussion will focus on foreign policy and national security issues. The latest polling marks a huge drop in support for Cain, who had been seen as a top rival to Romney until recently when he was forced to respond to allegations of sexual harassment dating back to the late 1990s. Cain also had some awkward moments on foreign policy, including a brief memory lapse when asked to comment on President Obama’s policy on Libya.

NOVEMBER 25, 2011 Leo invests in Israel Celebrities don’t stay famous out of pure luck; chances are they are quite the knowledgeable people who know who to market themselves. So when, award-winning actor and stunning Bar Rafaeli’s exboyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio made a significant investment to the upcoming Israeli phone app Mobli, we can assume it is for a good reason. Mobli is a smart-phone application which offers a unique real-time on mobile photography and video. Once installed on your mobile phone, you can use Mobli to see what other Mobli users are seeing in realtime. According to Mobli’s website, founder Moshe Hogeg thought up of the application while he attended a concert and could not see the stage due to the fact that everyone was holding up their phones to record the performance. Mogeg thought that it would be convenient to be able to see what everyone in front of him was recording. This would not only allow the user to get a better view of the stage but also get multiple angles of the same performance. Prior to founding Mobli, Hogeg worked as a media manager at Nike and also founded Web2sport.

Daughter of the late Sy Syms, who founded the retailer, Marcy Syms commented saying that times have been challenging for the company. Although both retailers are not breaking records in sales, the bankruptcy filing came as a surprise to many suppliers who noted that Syms had not fallen behind on any payments. While upscale chains such as Saks have been establishing their own off-price stores to clear their excess goods, luxury discount sites have promoted growth by paying topdollar for overstock fashion. This created problems for Marcy Sym as she attempted to keep her father’s scavenger method alive.
FB Shares Cooling with the Weather Current Facebook investors are definitely not in the sharing mood. The social network giant stock has gone down considerably since this summer. Currently at $30 a share in the private market Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been whispering about taking the company public. Facebook shares had been a hot commodity, sending the company’s private valuation to a high $84 billion, selling their shares like (kosher) hotcakes. This week, the shares are down to $30 which implies a valuation of approximately $70 billion as well as seeing a reduction trading volume from 150,000 to 70,000. Although lower, that price is still considered high in the current private market. During an October auction, only 14,000

shares were traded. This is due in part to restrictions the company has places on new employees who cannot sell their shares. The action in the private market has come from older employees who are not restricted by the rule. A Facebook IPO (Initial Public Offering) in 2012, would be one of the biggest ever to come from a Silicon Valley company. Facebook was expected to top internet giant Yahoo! in display ad revenue this year.
A Night out with Mila Kunis This past weekend actress Mila Kunis kept her promise and attended the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, N.C. with Sgt. Scott Moore, who invited the Jewish actress via YouTube. Earlier last week, the ‘Friends with Benefits’ star told E! News Marc Malkin, “It’s a huge honor just to be invited, it is.” She also said she looked forward to “talking to people and hearing their stories . . . Being a part of something that truly I know nothing about but I’m incredibly eager to learn.” The two seemed to have a magical evening that lived up to Moore’s expectations, who recently just came home from a sevenmonth tour in Afghanistan.

When it came to discussing their evening Kunis, 28, stepped aside and let Moore shine in the spotlight. In an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, Moore said, “It was a blast, it was a great time. So yes, it exceeded my expectations.” The marine also spoke with ‘The Today Show’ and revealed Kunis is “very cool” and “downto-earth.” They spent all evening hanging with his friends and dancing the night away. Moore told Al Roker he had nothing to lose by asking Kunis to the ball. “I can’t say I thought they were very high, but I obviously thought there was a chance so that’s why I put it on.”
Starbucks CEO: Fortune’s #1 Fortune’s list of the top 50 executives is out and Starbucks CEO (and nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn) Howard D. Schultz was named as the 2011 Businessperson of the Year.

Schultz beat out the likes of Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook for the top honors.

NYC Health Department Warns MealMart Kosher Broiled Chicken Livers Can Cause Illness from Salmonella Bacteria 56 Cases of Illness Identified in NYC The New York City Health Department has identified 56 cases of Salmonella bacteria-related illness in New York City that are linked to eating MealMart brand kosher broiled chicken livers from the Schreiber Processing Corporation that were not cooked. Even though they are labeled as “broiled” and may appear cooked, chicken livers from this manufacturer are not thoroughly cooked and should not be eaten unless they are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Salmonella illness has also been linked to chopped liver made from this uncooked product. Chopped liver made by the consumer after purchasing this product should also be fully cooked before consuming or discarded. Cases of illness have also been identified in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Minnesota. ealMart issued recall earlier this month of the product and is cooperating with the Health Department’s investigation. The New York State Departments of Agriculture and Markets and Health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service have collaborated with the NYC Health Department to identify cases of illness associated with this Salmonella Heidelberg strain, a common bacteria associated with food poisoning in humans. The Health Department recognized a pattern of people reporting that they ate ko-

This Salmonella strain has been found in samples of kosher broiled chicken livers and in samples of chopped liver made from the same broiled chicken liver produced by MealMart Company in Maspeth, N.Y. Though consumers reported that they believed the product to be fully cooked, it is not safe to eat without

Fairway Continues Expansion in Key Kosher Areas “Fairway is rapidly becoming the Waldbaum’s of the 2000’s,” a New York distributor said after the chain opened its 9th store and the first in Queens last week. The 56,000 square foot store will feature a full compliment of kosher foods just as its stores in the other boroughs do. The distributor explained that it just happens that Fairway stores are located in some key kosher strongholds in New York and New Jersey. In January 2007, Sterling Investment Partners, a Westport, CT middle market private equity firm, acquired a majority stake in Fairway Market. Fairway has grown rapidly, opening six more Fairway locations and two Wine & Spirits stores.
On November 8, 2011, Schreiber Processing Corporation, of Maspeth, New York, announced a voluntary recall of an undetermined amount of “kosher broiled chicken liver” products.
additional cooking. In stores, “broiled chicken livers” are often re-packaged and sold in smaller quantities or are used to prepare chopped liver sold at deli-style establishments. Retail stores and other establishments in the following communities may have either re-packaged this product or used it to prepare chopped liver that was sold to customers: For specific retailers that sell these products and other establishments associated with this outbreak within these communities, visit the Salmonella outbreak link on the NYC Health Department’s website. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has also posted information about this recall on the USDA website. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramps and fever. Symptoms usually begin 12 to 72 hours after exposure, but can begin up to a week after exposure. Salmonella infections usually resolve in 5-7 days, and most people
recover without treatment. In some persons, diarrhea may be so severe that hospitalization is necessary. In rare cases, Salmonella infection can lead to death, particularly in the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Each year, 1,200 to 1,300 cases of Salmonella are diagnosed in New York City. Salmonella bacteria are frequently found in raw chicken or other uncooked meats. Consumers should always follow safe food handling practices to prevent transmission of Salmonella bacteria to humans. Avoid getting sick from Salmonella illness and contaminating other foods with Salmonella by: Washing hands, utensils and cutting boards after they have been in contact with raw meat and before they touch other food. Cooking meat thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before consumption. Putting cooked meat on a clean platter rather than on the one that was used to hold raw meat.
Fairway expects to continue to open several stores per year for the foreseeable future. The chain was founded nearly 80 years ago by Nathan Glickberg, who opened a fruit and vegetable stand where the flagship Broadway store in Manhattan is still located. Howie Glickberg, Chief Executive Officer of Fairway and grandson of the founder, remains an active leader in Fairway. The new Queens store has a full kosher bakery and a large selection of pre-cut, OU-certified red meat, as well as fresh, kosher poultry.
Australia and Israel, the annual gathering of kashrus agencies and officials sponsored by AKO (Association of Kashrus Organizations) is an opportunity to network and learn about the latest developments within the industry. But this year, the gathering held at the headquarters of the Orthodox Union on November 10th, left the gathering with more than new information on technology, spices, and new policies. They heard Rabbi Moshe Wolfson of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath shower accolades on the mashgichim (kosher supervisors) who help bring kosher to the masses. Following on the heels of a debate on the validity of cholov yisroel (higher standard kosher milk) in today’s world of technology, Rabbi Yisroel Belsky of the Orthodox Union and a dean of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath sought to define the responsibility of kashrus organizations. “There certainly is a need to uphold the highest standards for those in our community who seek it,” he said, “but in today’s world where so many eat kosher, we have a responsibility to make sure that kosher is accessible to everyone.” Rabbi Belsky’s message seemed to validate the certification given by most large kashrus agencies of “chalav stam” (kosher milk) recognized by a “d” or “dairy” on the label. According to Rabbi Sholem Fishbane, executive director of AKO, the annual conference has become the major event for some of the world’s largest kashrus organizations.

Two New Performance Luxury Vehicles Set to Join Infiniti’s Lineup in Spring 2012 Backup Collision Intervention System Joins List of Infiniti Innovations Hindsight may be 20-20, but only the innovative Backup Collision Intervention system, introduced by Infiniti last week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, has the ability to detect vehicular cross traffic and other rearward objects while backing up and, if necessary, will automatically apply the brakes to help prevent a collision. he Backup Collision Intervention system, the latest of many advanced safety and security systems brought to market first in recent years by Infiniti, will be available in spring 2012 on the all-new 2013 Infiniti JX luxury crossover. The 2013 Infiniti JX luxury crossover was unveiled on Wednesday, Nov. 17, along with the new 2013 IPL G Convertible, during a press conference at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The show runs through Sunday, Nov. 27th. Also on display will be the complete line of 2012 Infiniti vehicles. “The Los Angeles Auto Show is the perfect venue to host the world debuts of these important new additions to the Infiniti portfolio,” said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore. “They represent two different aspects of our line – our first entry into the growing 7-passenger luxury crossover segment and a performance four-seat luxury convertible – yet both are pure Infiniti, challenging the status quo in their respective categories.”
T
The Infiniti JX – A Bold New Expression of 7-Passenger Luxury As a fresh alternative to the many flavors of vanilla currently dominating the luxury crossover segment, the stylish Infiniti JX is designed to excel in the areas that luxury crossover buyers desire most – interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and advanced hospitality features. The JX offers real 3-row utility, plus all the premium features, performance and innovations that Infiniti is known for worldwide. Along with its standout styling and craftsmanship, the breakthrough JX design offers excellent legroom in all three rows and ample cargo room behind the 3rd row. In addition, an innovative multi-mode middle seat design provides entry to the 3rd row without removing a 2nd row child seat.
The JX also continues Infiniti’s tradition of developing world’s first technologies, adding a new feature, Backup Collision Intervention (BCI), to the currently available Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) system and Around View™ Monitor. With this technology, when the transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing vehicles and objects behind the JX and, if necessary, the system can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision. Among the many other advanced standard and available technologies found throughout the new JX is Infiniti Connection™, a new feature that can automatically synch the owner’s schedule through Google Calendar™ and then provides navigation guidance to appointments – along with multiple other functions. The Infiniti Connection™ system also includes Infiniti Personal Assistant, which offers owners 24-hour personal concierge services, such as arranging dinner reservations, flight changes, or purchase of anniversary gifts, from inside or outside of their Infiniti vehicle. Offered in both front-wheel drive and with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the Infiniti JX comes with a standard 265-horsepower
IPL G Convertible – Seductive Open-Air Style, Enhanced Performance The 2013 IPL G Convertible, the second model in the Infiniti Performance Line lineup, unleashes performance from a top-down, wide-open, wind-in-your-face perspective. Like the standard Infiniti G37 Convertible
sium paddle shifters. The enhancements are not limited to engine performance only. The IPL G Convertible also features an IPL-tuned suspension and Sport brakes. Exterior modifications over the stock Infiniti G Convertible include a dramatic front bumper/fascia design with integrated fog lights and black finishers, sculpted side sills and chrome exhaust tips. Exclusive 19-inch IPL split 7-spoke graphite-finish wheels and low-profile W-rated Bridgestone Potenza RE050A performance tires add a confident stance and road-ready attitude, while its two available exterior colors, Moonlight White and Malbec Black, add to its exclusive jewellike presence. The IPL G Convertible’s interior is similarly offered in just two color treatments – Stone and IPL-exclusive Monaco Red – and include red-stitched leather-appointed front sport seats with manual thigh extension and driver’s power torso and thigh support adjustment, red-stitched steering wheel, Silk Obi aluminum trim, power tilt/telescopic

Potential Flu Cure Found – in our Lungs! A natural lipid in the fluid lining the lungs inhibits influenza infections in both cell cultures and mouse models, according to researchers at National Jewish Health. These findings, combined with previous studies demonstrating effectiveness against respiratory syncytial virus, suggest that the molecule, known as POPG, may have broad antiviral activity. upplemental POPG could be an important, inexpensive, and novel approach for the prevention and treatment of influenza and other respiratory virus infections,” said Dennis Voelker, PhD, Professor of Medicine, and senior author in the report, published online in the American journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. Influenza infects millions of people across the globe, killing 500,000 each year. Vaccines are highly effective, but must be reformulated each year to counter new viral strains. Two classes of drug are currently available to treat established influenza infections, although widespread resistance has developed against one class and is developing against the other. Several proteins that inhibit viral activity have been identified in the fluid lining the lungs. Until recently, however, the antiviral role of POPG (palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol) has been unknown. Previous research by Dr. Voelker, Mari Numata, MD, PhD, and their colleagues demonstrated that POPG reduces inflammation in the lung and prevents infection by respiratory syncytial virus. In the most recent study, the researchers looked at the ability of POPG to inhibit
“S
infection by two strains of influenza, H1N1PR8 and H3N2. They found that POPG suppressed inflammatory responses, viral propagation, and cell death normally associated with influenza infection. In mice, POPG also suppressed viral infection and replication, and markedly reduced the inflammatory response to the virus. There were no observable deleterious effects of POPG in animal behavior or histopathology. “Lipids such as POPG, offer potential advantages over antiviral proteins, because they are less likely to elicit unwanted immune responses, are more chemically stable and less expensive to manufacture than proteins,” said Dr. Numata, an instructor at National Jewish Health, and lead author on both the RSV and influenza papers. “Because POPG is effective against at least two different viruses, it also seems likely that a single mutation, which can make influenza vaccines and current drugs ineffective, is unlikely to have the same effect on POPG’s action.” The researchers showed that POPG works by binding strongly to viral particles, which prevents attachment and infection of cells. This means that POPG works best if given before an infection occurs. It has potential, however, to work after an infection has begun by inhibiting spread of
the virus to uninfected cells. The success of POPG treatment after a virus infection has been established depends on keeping the lipid levels high for an extended period. At present it is difficult to maintain high levels of POPG in mice because of their rapid metabolisms and rapid respiratory rate.
“We believe POPG may prove effective both before and after an infection has occurred,” said Dr. Voelker. “Our initial results suggest that it may be possible to maintain therapeutic levels in the body with a reasonable dosing scheme, and we are investigating that now.”

PARSHA
PAGE 35
Parshat Toldot (Genesis 25:19-28:9) Devil in the Details By Rabbi Aba Wagensberg n this week’s parsha, we are introduced to our patriarch, Jacob, and his twin brother, Esau. Rashi explains (Genesis 25:27) that it was impossible to distinguish between the different natures of the twins while they were still minors, but as soon as they reached the age of 13, their true characteristics emerged: Jacob went off to learn Torah, while Esau went off to corrupt behavior. It seems strange that Esau’s negativity emerged so suddenly - especially since the Talmud (Shabbat 105b) states explicitly
I
that a person’s inclination toward negativity (yetzer hara) does not operate in this fashion. The yetzer hara, rather than advocating sudden change, entices us to sin by urging, “Just do this one small thing.” The next day, it tries to persuade us to perform another small misdeed - until eventually, a person can be convinced to serve idols. So if the nature of the yetzer hara is to gradually wear down our defenses, how could Esau have gone off the Torah path so abruptly the moment he turned 13? Based on our Sages’ explanation of the nature of the yetzer hara, we must conclude that Esau’s behavioral shift was in fact a grad-
Haftarah for Parshat Toldot Malachi 1:1-2:7. his week's haftarah opens with a mention of the tremendous love G d harbors for the children of Jacob, and the retribution He will visit upon the children of Esau who persecuted their cousins. This follows the theme of this week's Torah reading, whose two protagonists are Jacob and Esau. The prophet Malachi then rebukes the kohanim (priests) who offer blemished and emaciated animals on G-d's altar: "Were you to offer it to your governor, would he be pleased or would he favor you? . . . O
T
that there were even one among you that would close the doors [of the Temple] and that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain!" The haftarah ends with a strong enjoinder to the kohanim to return to the original covenant that G d had made with their ancestor, Aaron the High Priest. "True teaching was in his mouth, and injustice was not found on his lips. In peace and equity he went with Me, and he brought back many from iniquity." HAFTARAH SUMMARY COURTESY OF CHABAD.ORG
The Inevitable Struggle By Rabbi Berel Wein he frightening thing about the struggle between Eisav and Yaakov is its apparently doomed inevitability. While yet in the womb of their mother Rivkah, they already find themselves opposed to one another. They are not only two different personalities, physically, emotionally and intellectually, but they represent two diametrically opposed worldviews. The only question that remains is therefore one of accommodating one another. If the L-rd created them so differently, their freedom of choice in life is centered on how they will deal one with another. And in that respect, the question of accommodation – of the relationship between the Jewish people and the broader, more numerous and powerful non-Jewish world - remains alive and relevant until our very day. Eisav varies and wavers in his attitude towards Yaakov. Hatred, jealousy, scapegoating and frustration are all present in certain aspects of his behavior patterns towards Yaakov. And yet there is also a grudging admiration and attempts at reconciliation on the part of Eisav. Yaakov is portrayed as reactive towards Eisav, of a more passive nature, of patiently attempting to wait out the situation and hope that Eisav will calm down and reconcile himself to Yaakov’s right of existence - in what Eisav considers to be his exclusive world. And therefore the question arises – in reality the question of all of the ages: is there room in the world, especially our rapidly shrinking world, for Yaakov and Eisav
T
to coexist peacefully? One would hope so, though history belies this optimistic view of the rivalry between the brothers. The Torah itself is pretty much noncommittal about the causes for the true source of Eisav’s hatred of Yaakov. Even though Yaakov’s purchase of the birthright and his subsequent preempting of his father’s blessings are ostensibly the cause of Eisav’s displeasure with Yaakov, these are only superficials. For the hatred was there from the beginning, from the moment of their conception, even though no incidents between them had as yet occurred. The Torah just seems to take it for granted that this is the way it is going to be. And this accounts to a great degree for the almost traditional Jewish attitude of fatalism regarding the behavior of the non- Jewish world towards the Jews. Rabbi Shimon ben Continued on page 39
ual process. We can understand this by looking more carefully at the wording of Rashi’s comment. Rashi states that when Jacob and Esau were children, it was impossible to DISTINGUISH the difference between them not that there was no difference! Although Esau’s external behavior may have been the same as Jacob’s; nevertheless, something about them was not the same. What was this difference? We can suggest that Esau was a “big picture” person, who was more concerned with generalities than with details. Although as a child he performed the same mitzvot as Jacob, he disregarded the nuances and subtleties of the commandments. It was this inattention that ultimately led him reject the Torah path entirely.
‘SMALL’ MITZVOT Dismissing the importance of details can lead to two primary dangers. First, our Sages advise (Avot 2:1), “Be as careful with a ‘minor’ mitzvah as you are with a ‘major’ one, for you do not know the reward for the mitzvot.” Who are we to say that what seems like a minor detail is in fact unimportant? Since we do not know the extent of the reward for our actions, it is foolish to disregard details as being unnecessary. Furthermore, even if we are correct in our assessment, and what seems small to us is in fact small, the cumulative result of a person’s inattention to detail may eventually result in his performing more serious transgressions. The care and attention we put into performing the details of G-d’s commandments can serve as a buffer zone to prevent us from
performing more serious misdeeds. We see this idea in Deuteronomy 7:12, which enumerates all the blessings that will come to the Jewish people “if you listen (eikev tishm’un)” to G-d. The word “eikev” literally means “heel,” as Rashi explains: “If you observe the seemingly insignificant commandments that a person tramples with his heel, then all the blessing will come.” If we are careful with the small mitzvot, eventually we will merit all of them. This shows how much we risk losing if we focus only on the big picture and ignore the fine points of mitzvot.
HINTED IN THE NAMES Esau’s name hints to his lack of concern with details. Rashi explains (Genesis 25:25) that the name “Esau” comes from the word “asui,” meaning “completed.” Esau was interested only in the finished, final product, not the details - and this approach led to his eventual rejection of the big picture. The name Yaakov, on the other hand, contains within it the word “eikev” (heel). Jacob is born holding on to his brother’s heel, demonstrating his attention to the details that are so easily trampled on and overlooked. For Jacob, the nuances and details of the mitzvot are top priority. This awareness strengthens his commitment to the framework within which the details belong. May we all merit to serve G-d in totality, and not miss the trees for the forest (or vice versa). May we recognize that big things sometimes come in small packages, and create, through our attention to details, a shield of spiritual success and blessing. AISH HATORAH

5 Most Significant Advances in Laminate Flooring In the 15 years since the North American Laminate Flooring Association was founded, laminate floors have undergone major advances. itchen renovation choices are always expanding, from cabinet and counter surfaces to appliance finishes and lighting fixtures. But to find a product that is always advancing in design and technology to be more and more attractive to consumers, you need only look down. Innovative product designs and long-term durability have made laminate flooring one of the most popular and affordable options for homeowners today. But laminate flooring is not just for the kitchen anymore. Advances in design and realism have made it a popular choice for any room in the house – from the family room to the living room to the dining room. We asked Bill Dearing, president of the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA), what he considers the most significant advancements in laminate flooring. Here’s what he had to say: 1. Realism in Design – When it comes to design options, there is no limit with laminate floors. Do you want a high-end hardwood look or a contemporary stone look? While many laminate floors simulate the authentic look of wood or stone, the possibilities for new styles and colors are limitless. Advances in design – such as realistic beveling, or grooves, and distressed looks like saw marks and nail holes – have taken laminate flooring’s realism to a new level. 2. Advances in Technology – Laminate
K
A new laminate floor can transform a room anywhere in the home.
flooring is comprised of a hybrid of materials fused together through a unique lamination process. Today’s laminate flooring manufacturers have the technology to realistically mimic everything from wood to marble to stone. Vast improvements have been made to the fiberboard core, which offers impact resistance, stability and long-lasting durability, and to the underlayment, which absorbs minor imperfections in the subfloor and reduces noise when walking on the floor. New embossing techniques, superior scratch protection, and other advances make laminate flooring a smart choice. Continued on page 38

Roto-Rooter, the largest plumbing company in North America, has tracked emergency holiday breakdowns calls from customers for over 60 years. The company says the biggest holiday-related plumbing problems are broken garbage disposals. o what causes the mess? The causes are often linked to guests filing up the house, plumbing systems getting overtaxed, and too much waste being sent down the kitchen sink. Roto-Rooter offers consumers the following tips to prevent emergency calls to the plumber this holiday season. “Who wants weeks’ worth of leftover food coming back up the kitchen sink to haunt you?” says one Dallas-based RotoRooter plumber. “People dump pumpkin seeds and pulp down the drain at Halloween, mountains of potato peels at Thanksgiving, and platefuls of (nearly untouched) food after December holiday parties. This is a perfect recipe for garbage disposal breakdown! And then you suddenly have two sinks full of dishes, a clogged garbage disposal, and rotting waste to deal with… all of which can seriously dampen your holiday dinner.” Roto-Rooter says homeowners can avoid plumbing repair issues and prolong the life of even low-end garbage disposals if they don’t overload them. “Garbage disposals aren’t meant to deal with large quantities of food all at once,” says one Cincinnatibased Roto-Rooter plumber. “If you’re dumping platefuls of food down the disposal, you’re asking for trouble.
S
About 90% of the backed up disposals I get called out for are preventable. These are emergency calls, late at night or early on a Sunday morning. And nearly all of these are caused by someone sending stuff down the sink that should have been dumped in the garbage can. Roto-Rooter trains its plumbers to deal with these situations quickly and efficiently, at the lowest possible cost to the homeowner. But you can stay a step ahead of the game by watching what you put down the disposal in the first place.” Industry experts explain that a good garbage disposal will chop up food residue into a thick paste, but this paste can stick to the sides of the drainpipe and cause clogging and foul odors. Grease (including rich foods—think pumpkin pie and gravy) will be more likely to clog the pipes, which is why you shouldn’t ever pour grease down the drain. Roto-Rooter plumbers advise that you scrape leftover food into the garbage can and then rinse off any remaining residue in the sink rather than scraping leftovers down the drain. It is also important to run the garbage disposal with plenty of water, which will help wash all residues out of the branch pipes. Using these tips, you can keep the ghosts of past holiday dinners from returning to haunt you.

5 Most Significant Advances in Laminate Flooring
Effects of an Iranian Nuclear Attack Upon Israel
Continued from page 36
Continued from page 19
3. Better Locking Systems – Installation has never been easier. Laminate flooring is easy to install because it requires no glue or fasteners to the subfloor. Instead, it uses a lock and click installation method and “floats” above the subfloor, allowing it to expand and contract with the natural temperature and humidity changes in your home. 4. Environmentally Friendly – Laminate flooring has become inherently eco-friendly. It’s made with natural resources like wood chip fiberboard, and it does not involve the harvesting of rare or endangered trees. It’s free of air-damaging chemicals, and it requires no special glues or adhesives during
installation that could damage air quality. 5. Product Certification – NALFA has developed a certification seal assurance that is testament to each product’s quality. NALFAcertified flooring has passed 10 rigorous performance tests that include everything from how well it resists water, light and stains to whether it can be damaged when a large object is dropped. NALFA uses independent, third-party testing laboratories to assure that NALFA-certified laminate floors meet demanding performance standards. “In the 15 years since NALFA was founded, the improvement in laminate flooring has been phenomenal,” Dearing concludes. “Laminate floors come in any look you want. You’re not limited by nature. The sky’s the limit.”
food and water; disease epidemics in crops, domesticated animals, and humans due to ionizing radiation; shortening of growing seasons; irreversible injuries to aquatic species; widespread and long-term cancers due to inhalation of plutonium particles; radiation-induced abnormalities in persons in uter o at the time of detonations; a vast growth in the number of skin cancers, and increasing genetic disease. Overwhelming health problems would afflict the survivors of any Iranian nuclear attack upon Israel. These difficulties would extend beyond prompt burn injuries. Retinal burns could even occur in the eyes of persons very far from the actual explosions. Tens of thousands of Israelis could be crushed by collapsing buildings, and torn to shreds by flying glass. Others could fall victim to raging firestorms. Fallout injuries would include whole-body radiation injury, produced by penetrating, hard gamma radiation; superficial radiation burns produced by soft radiations; and injuries produced by deposits of radioactive substances within the body. After an Iranian nuclear attack, even a «small” one, those few medical facilities that might still exist in Israel could be taxed beyond capacity. Water supplies could quickly become unusable. Housing and shelter could be unavailable for hundreds of thousands of survivors. Transportation would break down to rudimentary levels. Food shortages could be critical and long-term. Israel’s normally complex network of exchange systems would be shattered. Virtually everyone would be deprived of the most basic means of livelihood. Emergency police and fire services would be decimated. All systems dependent upon electrical power could stop functioning. Severe trauma would occasion widespread disorientation and psychiatric disorders for which there
would likely be no therapeutic services. Normal human societ y would cease. The pestilence of unrestrained murder and banditry could soon augment plague and epidemics. Many of the survivors would expect an increase in serious degenerative diseases. They could also expect premature death; impaired vision, and sterility. An increased incidence of leukemia and cancers of the lung, stomach, breast, ovary and uterine cervix would be unavoidable. Extensive fallout would upset many delicately balanced relationships in nature. Israelis who survive the nuclear attack would still have to deal with enlarged insect populations. Like the locusts of biblical times, mushrooming insect hordes could spread en masse from the radiation-damaged areas in which they arose. Insects are generally more resistant to radiation than humans. This fact, coupled with the prevalence of unburied corpses, uncontrolled waste and untreated sewage, would generate tens of trillions of flies and mosquitoes. Breeding in the dead bodies, these insects would make it impossible to control typhus, malaria, dengue fever and encephalitis. Throughout Israel, tens or even hundreds of thousands of rotting human corpses would pose the largest health threat. All of these same effects, possibly even more expansive and destructive, would be unleashed upon Iran, by Israel. This is because an immediate and massive Israeli retaliation for any Iranian nuclear aggression would be a certainty. Nonetheless, Iran’s comparatively greater suffering could offer little meaningful solace for Israel. “The comedy is finished.” Louis Rene Beres (Ph.D., Princeton, 1971) is a professor of Political Science and International Law at Purdue University. He is the author of many books, monographs, and articles dealing with Israeli security matters.

said Dovid. “There were scattered bones and a couple of old shoes and clothes. It was a pretty horrific site.” To make matters worse, the Ukrainian government planned to bulldoze the gravesite to build villas for international visitors. Dovid contacted his sister who immediately began working on a plan to build a proper burial site. After reaching out to local government officials, New was told that construction plans would be stopped provided the community could prove that the site was, in fact, sacred. In addition, she was informed a proper monument could be built but that all the funding had to come from private donations. Working with members of the Jewish community, New was able to get in touch with the German branch of the American
mer and what it meant to him. "I demand to be counted so others will not be numbered. We must tell the truth and we must never forget. We must never repeat the mistakes of the past. Evil will grow again and this evil plant grows in darkness and we must shed a bright light upon it." Exhorting his audience to "rely on eternal truths", he chided the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators as being "just like the fascists that they say they›re against. It is like a formulaic stage play replete with hypocrisy." He added that the struggles we face for our existential survival are "personal" and that "we must go out as individuals and make a

difference." Borrowing words from Abraham Lincoln, he warned against becoming imbued with vengeance and bellicosity when he said that our mantra should be, "With malice towards none and charity for all" and said that "as the world plunges into darkness, we must be a beacon of light." To that end, Mr. Beck referred to a new undertaking that he would announce on December 8. And while what he was alluding to remains nebulous at this point, he had tongues wagging at the conclusion of his address as audience members engaged in speculation. "Either he is announcing his candidacy for public office or he is planning to convert to Judaism," said one delegate.

Either way UNESCO cannot be seen to create the impression that any of its actions are not in strict accord with its Constitution and that it is prepared to act in possible contravention of its own Constitution.

Jewish Committee to verify the site of the massacre and Nazi involvement. New then contacted Geder Avos, a small non-profit based in Brooklyn that assists in building monuments on mass graves. Moshe Rubin, head of Geder Avos, estimated that fixing the site would cost roughly $5,000. Over the last three months New has raised close to half of the $5,000 total required for the project mostly through friends and family in her community. New, who has never been to Netishin but hopes to visit in the spring, attributed part of her determination on this quest to the year she spent after graduation working in the YU library and archives as a Presidential Fellow. “The archive is very committed to preserving older things and finding meaning and relevance,” said New. “That added to my resolution.”
tions remain definitively unanswered by the International Court of Justice—could well persuade those 86 non-Islamic member states who did not vote for the PA’s admission to UNESCO to also cut or withhold their financial contributions to UNESCO until the Court’s ruling is obtained. That would surely be the beginning of the end for UNESCO, which cannot be seen as a law unto itself and certainly cannot financially afford to do so. David Singer is a lawyer in Australia.
The Inevitable Struggle Continued from page 35
Yochai stated in the Talmud that it is a given rule that Eisav hates Yaakov. However, there are other opinions there in the Talmud that take a different tack and belie this inevitability of hatred and violence. After the horrors of the Holocaust were revealed, Jews felt that perhaps Eisav had finally reformed and had seen the evil of the ways of hatred and bigotry. Almost seventy years later we are not so certain about this hopefully sanguine view of Eisav’s reconcili-

ation with Yaakov. Though we are certainly less accepting and passive about the situation now than we were a century ago, nevertheless there are relatively few options left to us as how to deal with the matter. We should minimize whatever frictions possible but realize that we are dealing with a millennia-old problem that cannot be just wished away or papered over. Faith and fortitude in our own self-worth are the strongest weapons in our arsenal to bring Eisav to reconciliation and harmony. ARTICLE COURTESY OF TORAH.ORG

Ancient Romans Built it, Modern Israelis Love It Once the most important port city in Roman Palestine, today Caesarea offers a mix of Mediterranean sports and intriguing antiquities. By Abigail Klein Leichman ay back in Roman times, chariot racing was a box-office hit in the Mediterranean town of Caesarea. While that particular pastime isn’t drawing crowds anymore, it set the tone for millennia later, when Caesarea is still one of Israel’s premier leisure spots. True, you don’t have to come all the way to northern Israel to play golf, even if it is on the new Pete Dye-designed 18-hole course opened two years ago. But what other golfing and diving resort also offers a range of land and sea archeological treasures? For that, this upscale town halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa is a prime destination. Before diving in or teeing off in the modern part of the city, get acquainted with history at Old Caesarea’s Time Tower, a renovated fortress overlooking the ancient Roman aqueduct and restored harbor built by King Herod’s laborers in homage to Augustus Caesar more than 2,000 years ago. Voyage in T ime, a 10-minute 3D bigscreen movie, takes viewers from the Herodian period through the Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Crusader eras, and finally through the early days of Zionist immigration. Also in Time Tower is the audienceinteractive tech show Stars of Caesarea, where you’ll meet 12 prominent historical figures active in Old Caesarea, such as King Herod, Saladin, Baron Edmond Rothschild, Augusta Helena, King Louis IX and St. Paul. Caesarea’s ancient Roman aqueduct and amphitheater, the oldest surviving Roman theater in the eastern Mediterranean region, provide the setting for a worldclass Jazz Festival every June. The harbor is dotted with restaurants, cafes, art galleries and nightlife. Aqueduct (Arches) Beach, one of Israel’s most picturesque beaches, is punctuated by the ruins of a raised aqueduct built by Herod and expanded 300 years later to

Kite-flying to kite-surfing Now back to the sports part of the program. There’s nothing else in the world rivaling Caesarea’s all-seasons Underwater Archeological P ark. Leah Schneider of the Caesarea Development Corporation tells ISRAEL21c that amateur and professional divers alike get their feet wet at this $4.6 million project opened in 2004 in cooperation with the University of Haifa. The park offers four diving complexes, one of them specifically for snorkelers. Underwater, 25 marked exhibits point out basins, breakwaters, loading piers, storage rooms, a promenade and a lighthouse. Wrecked ships and cargos, ancient anchors and an illegal immigrant ship are among artifacts discovered on the seabed. A lot of the discoveries in Caesarea’s waters in recent years have been made by an American immigrant, University of Haifa geo-archeologist Dr. Beverly Goodman. By studying ancient undersea fragments collected on her dives, Goodman found evidence of an ancient tsunami that destroyed Herod the Great’s first-century harbor. She’s using the data to help predict future environmental events and to make recommendations for preserving the fragile coastline as sea levels rise. Prefer to stay on the surface? Caesarea is home to Freegull S ea Spor ts surfing school. This is where Gal Fridman, Israel’s Olympic gold medalist in wind surfing, once took courses. At Beit Yannai Beach

on the road toward Netanya, is the surfing school Kite Away. Every Friday toward sundown during the summer months, the sky over Caesarea’s beach is brightened with colorful kites in an unusual modern Israeli ritual to welcome the Sabbath.

PAGE 43 Saladin. In the 13th century, the Mamluk sultan of Egypt captured and destroyed Caesarea along with all other coastal cities. The Old City lay in ruins till the middle of the 19th century, when Bosnian Moslems and then German Templars established a small fishing village near the site of the Crusader castle. Visitors can tour the pier built here in the 1850s, where fishermen still cast their lines when the sea is calm. A paved path leads to the Underwater Archeological Park, beach, eateries and an artist’s complex. Among the galleries is Draydel House, displaying hundreds of Hanukah spinning tops, as well as other Judaica items, handcrafted by ceramicist Eran Grebler. What is believed to be the world’s largest draydel, crafted by Grebler, towers over Caesarea’s train station. Outside the harbor area is the Ralli Museum of S outh A merican A rt, which has works by Salvador Dali and a Caesarea history exhibit. Nearby is the recently discovered sixth-century Palace of the Bir d Mosaic.
The modern town of Caesarea Modern Caesarea was established on the northern outskirts of the Old City by Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild of France before the establishment of the state of Israel. The Rothschild family transferred most of their vast land holdings to the state after 1948, but the 8,500 acres comprising Caesarea were leased back for 200 years to the

conquered by Alexander Jannaeus and annexed into the Hasmonean kingdom of the Greek period. Ruins of temples to Greek gods remain as a testament to this era. Nearly 60 years later, the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar presented the town as a gift to his puppet king, Herod, who renamed it Caesarea and constructed a harbor, hippodrome (remember the chariot races?), bathhouses, temples and a palace between 22 and 10 BCE. Caesarea became the capital of ancient Palestine, with brisk trade activity at the harbor. Today the preserved ruins are incorporated into Caesarea Na tional P ark for tourists to explore. Among the treasures is a giant obelisk restored in 2001 in a $150,000 privately funded Antiquities Authority project that took nearly two years. Pontius Pilate governed Caesarea during the time of Jesus, and here the first pagan, Cornelius, converted to Christianity. During the third century, Caesarea evolved a center for Christian scholarship. Between the 10th and 12th centuries Caesarea was ruled alternately by the Christian Crusaders and the Muslim conqueror
Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Foundation, owned jointly with the state. The foundation established the Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Caesarea Development Corporation in 1952, which still oversees all the town’s operations. Caesarea is the only Israeli municipality with private management. About 4,200 mostly affluent people live in Caesarea’s “clusters,” or neighborhoods, including the Golf Cluster at the highest point in Caesarea, bordering on the newly expanded golf course. The Caesarea Business P ark houses approximately 170 companies and is one of the largest and most cutting-edge industrial and business zones in Israel. Because of its nearly year-round pleasant weather, Caesarea is a natural for outdoor festivals. In addition to the yearly Jazz Festival attracting musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, the town also has sponsored an international Opera Festival and an Autumn Festival featuring performances by street artists, magicians, clowns, musicians, jugglers and acrobats.
