    Shoah 1 Shoah

    Shoah 1 Shoah [1] (« catastrophe » ,שואה : Le terme Shoah (hébreu désigne l'extermination par l'Allemagne nazie des trois quarts des Juifs de l'Europe occupée[2] , soit les deux tiers de la population juive européenne totale et environ 40 % des Juifs du monde, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; ce qui représente entre cinq et six millions de victimes selon les estimations des historiens[3] . Ce génocide des Juifs constituait pour les nazis « la Solution finale à la question juive » (die Endlösung der Judenfrage). Le terme français d’Holocauste est également utilisé et l’a précédé. Le terme « judéocide » est également utilisé par certains pour qualifier la Destruction du ghetto de Varsovie, avril 1943. Shoah. L'extermination des Juifs, cible principale des nazis, fut perpétrée par la faim dans les ghettos de Pologne et d'URSS occupées, par les fusillades massives des unités mobiles de tuerie des Einsatzgruppen sur le front de l'Est (la « Shoah par balles »), au moyen de l'extermination par le travail forcé dans les camps de concentration, dans les « camions à gaz », et dans les chambres à gaz des camps d'extermination. L'horreur de ce « crime de masse »[4] a conduit, après-guerre, à l'élaboration des notions juridiques de « crime contre l'humanité »[5] et de « génocide »[6] , utilisé postérieurement dans d'autres contextes (génocide arménien, génocide des Tutsi, etc.). Une très grave lacune du droit international humanitaire a également été complétée avec l'adoption des Conventions de Genève de 1949, qui protègent la population civile en temps de guerre[7] . L'extermination des Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale se distingue par son caractère industriel, bureaucratique et systématique qui la rend unique dans l'histoire de l'humanité[8] .

    Israel's Response to Terrorism

    Effective solidarity among states has become a prerequisite for ultimately succeeding in the war of the West against jihadist terrorism. A cohesive military strategy is needed for the West, the Arab states that are threatened, and Israel. It stands to reason that, just as all three face similar threats, the JERUSALEM models developed in Israel for dealing with terror merit attention in Europe and beyond. BERLIN Amb.

    Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated

    We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project.

    Annual Report 2019–2020 Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs

    Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Action and Impact in Israel and around the World Annual Report 2019–2020 Report on Jerusalem Center Projects, Social Media Campaigns, Analyses, Reports, and Conferences – in Israel and Internationally Amb. Dore Gold, President 1 The Jerusalem Center’s Path-breaking Impact on U.S. and Israel’s Foreign Policy Israel’s Critical Security Requirements for Defensible Borders, the Jerusalem Center’s flagship project over the years, has borne demonstrable fruit. Amb. Dore Gold was invited to the East Room of the White House on January 28 when President Trump unveiled the Vision for Peace to Prosperity plan. At a press conference held at the Jerusalem Center two weeks later, Ambassador David M. Friedman expressed thanks to Amb. Gold on behalf of the United States for his time and expertise in the plan’s preparation. While much work remains ahead, and whether the issue is defensible borders for Israel or legislation to outlaw payments to Palestinian terrorists, the Jerusalem Center takes pride in its measurable impact on foreign policy in Israel, the U.S. and Europe. The Trump Plan: A Changing Diplomatic Paradigm for the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict The Jerusalem Center held a special briefing on Feb. 9, 2020, on the U.S. peace plan with U.S. Amb. David Friedman, Amb. Dore Gold, and Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence. The Jerusalem Post reported Amb. Dore Gold with on January 31, 2020: U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David M. For the past two years, Gold said, he was fielding “dual invitations” from the U.S.
