  • 'Precise' Strikes: Fractured Bodies, Fractured Lives
    Israel’s drone wars: An update ‘Precise’ strikes: Fractured Bodies, Fractured Lives Front Cover image: Israel’s Heron TP drone at Tel Nof Air Force base, February 2010. Credit: UPI/Debbie Hill. Note: The term ‘drone’ is used interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ Drone Wars UK is a small British NGO established in 2010 to undertake research and advocacy around the use of armed drones. We believe that the growing use of remotely-controlled, armed unmanned systems is encouraging and enabling a lowering of the threshold for the use of lethal force as well as eroding well established human rights norms. While some argue that the technology itself is neutral, we believe that drones are a danger to global peace and security. We have seen over the past decade that once these systems are in the armoury, the temptation to use them becomes great, even beyond the constraints of international law. As more countries develop or acquire this technology, the danger to global peace and security grows.

  • “South Africa's 800” by Henry Katzew
    SOUTH AFRICA’S 800 The Story of South African Volunteers in Israel’s War of Birth by Henry Katzew Compiled and produced by Maurice and Marcia Ostroff from Henry Katzew’s original manuscript Edited by Joe Woolf Key to the Front Cover Top to bottom: • The famous Haganah immigrant ship S.S Exodus 1947, in which 4500 refugees were forcibly returned to Hamburg in September 1947. (See foreword & Palestine Post article page 23) • Boris Senior in a Spitfire constructed from bits and pieces. • A group of Machalniks, in the Tank Corps. • A column of the 9th Palmach, Commando Battalion. Revised and reprinted November 2003 COPYRIGHT© All rights reserved No part of this document may be reproduced by any means whatsoever, except with the prior express written permission of the South African Zionist Federation. Correspondence should be addressed to: Telfed, 19/1 Schwartz Street, Ra’anana, 43212 Israel Telephone +972 9-7446110 Fax + 972 9-7446112 E-mail: [email protected] About this book “South Africa’s 800” is about Machal, the collective Hebrew acronym for volunteers from abroad and about individual volunteers, colloquially known as Machalniks. The book reveals details never previously documented and provides a valuable new perspective on Israel’s birth and struggle for survival. It includes eye witness reports by active participants in the events. While written mainly through South African eyes, the book also contains gripping anecdotes about volunteers from the USA, Britain and other countries. It throws new light on important events and personalities of the time. In his engaging eloquent style, Henry Katzew takes the reader on a fascinating expedition through recent historical events including: • Adventures of 8 young South Africans in their ill-fated attempt to bypass British restrictions on immigration to Palestine, by travelling overland from Pretoria.

    Contents Introduction Chapter One – The End of Inside Israel Chapter Two – The Conspirators Can’t Stop Conspiring Chapter Three – Netanyahu Is Dead, Long Live Deri Chapter Four – It’s the Same Old Song But With a Different Beast Since Rabin’s Been Gone Chapter Five - The CFR Takes Over Israel Chapter Six – Why Rabin Was Murdered Chapter Seven – The Shabak’s Patsies Chapter Eight – Israel Will Not Learn From Its History Chapter Nine – The NWO Closes In Chapter Ten – Will Israel Overcome? 3 INTRODUCTION Recently, a reader commented, “With Netanyahu, Sharon and Arens on top, the Likud is in good hands again.” I was discouraged. Had he soaked in nothing of my message? Israel’s primary enemy is not the Arabs, some of whom still express their hostility openly, though others have learned that keeping it under wraps for now is the better strategy. Our greatest threat comes from a little think tank in New York called the Council on Foreign Relations. The Arabs are merely their means to our end. In my 1997 book, Traitors and Carpetbaggers in the Promised Land, I detailed Netanyahu and Sharon’s corruption by the CFR. I warned that they are no less under CFR control than Rabin was or Barak is. Since then, we have found a new name on the CFR list. Moshe Arens is a member of the CFR’s foreign advisory team, sharing the Middle East desk with the PLO’s Hanan Ashrawi. In this book, I detail the CFR’s plan for Israel, right from the months of its leadership.
