  • Isaac and Ishmael, 1985
    This was the first High Holy Day sermon I delivered as the new young rabbi at UCSB Hillel in 1985. It was in many ways a classic “rabbinic school sermon,” full of textual analysis…and way too long. It was also a bold attempt to address the sensitive subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict; I remember seeing one of the prominent Jewish professors get up and walk out in the middle! (He has since become a dearly beloved friend). Issac and Ishmael 1985 Rosh HaShanah, UCSB Hillel This morning we read of the exile of Hagar and Ishmael, what the rabbis later called the most painful moment of Abraham’s life. The portion speaks to us directly in a way that it did not for hundreds of years, because the conflict between the children of Isaac, the Jews, and the children of Ishmael, the Arabs, has become the central fact of Jewish life in the second half of this century. The emotional strain of this conflict is par- ticularly terrible because, just as in the biblical story of Hagar and Ishmael, it is exceed- ingly difficult to sort out the rights and wrongs. In fact, it is difficult to escape the conclu- sion that--on certain levels--we, like Sarah, have morally compromised ourselves in this family conflict. The question which this text throws back at us year after year--and with particular vehemence in our generation--is: Can there be peace between Isaac and Ish- mael? Or was it necessary, is it necessary, for Abraham’s house to be broken apart? To most difficult questions, the textual tradition does not offer solution.

The Fatah Movement, which carried out the terrorist attack, mentioned the anniversary of the event in posts posted on its official Facebook pages. These posts glorified the attack (“a high-quality military operation”) and praised its perpetrators. The terrorists who carried out the murder are referred to in the post of the Fatah Movement in Nablus as “the heroes of the Munich operation;” and in the post of the Fatah Movement in Bethlehem they are referred to as “heroes of the Fatah Movement, sons of Yasser [Arafat].” The portrayal of the terrorist attack in Munich is also expressed favorably in a Palestinian Authority history textbook, in which the murder is described as an act carried out by Fedayeen (who sacrifice their lives by carrying out a military operation) with the aim of “attacking Israeli interests abroad” (History Studies, 11th Grade, Part 2 (2017), p. 54)2. The glorification of terrorists who carried out murderous terrorist attacks is a common phenomenon in the Palestinian Authority and Fatah.

  • Time to End Palestinian Incitement 13-Sep-2013 | by David Pollock
    Time to End Palestinian Incitement 13-Sep-2013 | By David Pollock http://www.fathomjournal.org/policy-politics/ The glorification of violence in Palestinian Authority media must be addressed if peace talks are to succeed. Even as Israeli-Palestinian peace talks begin again, official Palestinian Authority (PA) media are still broadcasting girls singing about Jews as ‘the sons of apes and pigs,’ and still paying effusive tribute to Palestinian terrorists convicted for murdering Israeli civilians. To get these negotiations started, Israel agreed to release over one hundred such prisoners; but the Palestinian government continues to glorify them as heroes, offering them as role models for the next generation. If this kind of incitement keeps up, how can Israel reasonably take risks for peace – and how could any peace agreement endure? The start of peace talks makes it all the more urgent to examine incitement and related inflammatory rhetoric – what would be referred to in the United States or Britain as hate speech – in the official public record of the PA. In recent years that record reveals relatively few high-level expressions of religious hatred, but numerous official messages that nonetheless run counter to the goal of peace. Addressing the problem of incitement now, at the start of this current peace effort, will help promote an atmosphere of good will and improve the chances of success in the negotiations. On the whole, the PA messaging trend over the past year has been negative, and the tone has been reflected by the rhetoric of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas himself. A comparison of the UN General Assembly speeches by Abbas in September 2011 and September 2012 shows a much more accusatory and less conciliatory tone toward Israel in 2012, with just a passing mention of peace.

  • By Lee Blessing Study Guide
    Two Rooms By Lee Blessing Study Guide Compiled by Justine Lawton with help from Kevin Seime Who is Lee Blessing? Lee Blessing is a famous playwright who has written several successful shows (see complete list of work below). His most notable plays include A Walk in the Woods (1988), dealing with the friendship that develops between an American and a Russian diplomat; Eleemosynary (1988), about three generations of independent women; and Cobb (2000), which explored the many facets of baseball legend Ty Cobb. Blessing was born in 1949 in Minneapolis, MN. He attended Reed College in Oregon and later the University of Iowa. Blessing’s work was first produced at the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville in 1982 and many of his subsequent scripts would premiere and find success regionally. His most famous play, A Walk in the Woods, is about an American arms negotiator and his friendship with his Soviet counterpart. The play follows the walks they take together in the woods over many months. Their countries are trying to avoid a nuclear war while economic and political problems make the war seem inevitable.

In recent decades, this small Mediterranean state has found itself dominated by sub-state militias, occupied by foreign powers, and divided by conflicting political currents in the region. The Lebanese government has repeatedly struggled to assert its authority inside of its borders, and the emergence of Hezbollah as a political force has compelled the government to cooperate and coexist with a non-state actor that provides social welfare and defense. Partially as a result of Hezbollah‟s strength, war with Lebanon‟s southern neighbor Israel never seems as if it should be written off. With the question of national sovereignty remaining a perennial issue in Lebanon and future war with Israel being a question of “when” and not “if,” the presence of international peacekeepers seems both an obvious solution and a complicating obstacle to Lebanon‟s path towards peace and stability. When the UN Security Council passed Resolution 425 in 1978 and created the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), its mission was to confirm the withdrawal of the Israeli forces that had recently invaded and to assist the Lebanese government in regaining its authority in this area.

  • Who's Who of the Prisoner Swap
    Whoʼs who of the prisoner swap 7/9/18, 2)44 PM Who’s who of the prisoner swap At 9 a.m. Wednesday, five Lebanese prisoners – Samir Kantar, a Lebanese Palestinian Liberation Front Member who has been detained for murder in Israel since 1979; and Khodor Zidan, Maher Kurani, Mohammed Sarur and Hussein Suleiman, Hezbollah fighters captured during the 2006 war – will cross the Israeli border and enter Lebanon as part of an Israel-Hezbollah prisoner swap deal that has been in the works for months. The swap will close Lebanon’s detainee file with Israel, making Lebanon the first Arab country not at peace with the Jewish State to do so. In exchange for the live prisoners and the remains of 200 Hezbollah fighters and Palestinians, Hezbollah will be handing over Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, Israeli servicemen who were taken hostage by party militants in July 2006, prompting the 34-day war. Both are presumed dead. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/commentary/whos_who_of_the_prisoner_swap Page 1 of 6 Whoʼs who of the prisoner swap 7/9/18, 2)44 PM This will be the eighth prisoner swap to take place between Israel and Hezbollah since 1991, with the most recent deal taking place in late 2007. Negotiations over potential deals have been ongoing since late 2006, under the auspices of the UN. The move has been met with some controversy, however. Aside from the release of Kantar, who is vilified in Israel for the brutal nature of his crime, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said that Hezbollah has not kept its end of the deal.
