  • Canada's Tax-Deductible Support for Israel's Crimes
    Canada’s Tax-Deductible Support for Israel’s Crimes By Yves Engler Region: Canada, Middle East & North Africa Global Research, August 25, 2014 Theme: Religion Electronic Intifada 22 August 2014 When is a Canadian who leaves this country to join a foreign military force and participate in the killing of innocent civilians, including children, called a “terror tourist” and sent to jail? The answer is: only when that person joins a military force the Conservative government disagrees with. Numerous ministers in the current federal government have loudly denounced the radicalization of Canadian youth in foreign wars. Last year, the Conservatives passed a law that sets a maximum fifteen year prison sentenceleaving for “or attempting to leaveCanada” to commit terrorism.Jason Kenney, the minister for multiculturalism, recentlysaid the government is trying “to monitor networks that recruit and radicalize youth.” Last month, Somali-Canadian Mohamed Hersi was sentenced to ten years in prison for attempting to join the al-Shabab militia in Somalia. Arrested at Toronto’s Pearson airport before leaving, Hersi was not found guilty of committing or plotting a specific act of violence, but according to the presiding judge, was “poised to become a terror tourist.” Yet our government does nothing to hundreds of other Canadians who join a different foreign military force which daily terrorizes millions of people and often uses explosives to kill thousands — most of whom are civilians. It’s unknown exactly how many Canadians are participating in Israel’s ongoing attackson Gaza but an Israeli military spokesperson hassaid there were 139 Canadians in the Israeli military in 2013.

The war highlighted as never before the dependence of Israeli society on foundations, businesses, and other funding organizations to meet the basic needs of the average Israeli citizen. Ten years ago this Third Sector would have focused on providing its resources in a way that supplemented the safety net and basic services provided by the national government. Increasing privatization, the outsourcing of more and more services, and continual budget cuts have created a void in the provision of basic services, and the Third Sector is now being forced to fill this void. This was never more evident that during the recent war, where it was the foundations together with the NGO's that responded immediately and effectively to the emergency needs of the population in the North, including both those who were evacuated from the area and those forced to live in bomb shelters for extended periods of time.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    Dear Friends We are proud to present you with NATAL's 2016 Annual Report. This report covers all activities over the last year within every unit, including relevant data, trends, special events and more. It is a great opportunity for us to extend our thanks to all of NATAL's staff, therapists, and volunteers who have all done some very impressive work and continue to exhibit great professionalism and commitment to NATAL's mission. Over the past year the wave of terror attacks which began as indiscriminate stabbings across the country grew to include two serious shootings in central Tel Aviv and claimed the lives of many civilians, while simultaneously leaving many more wounded both in body and soul. During these times NATAL operated within its emergency mode, with the Helpline operating 24/7 in order to answer the great influx of callers seeking support. At the same time we unveiled NATAL's new online chat service which similar to the Helpline, is operated by a group of dedicated and trained volunteers. This year NATAL established its first Public Advisory Board, led by former IDF Chief of Staff, Major General (Res) Benny Gantz. The board includes prominent Israeli public figures, artists, journalists and representatives of students and youth in Israel. The purpose of the Public Advisory Board is to accompany NATAL as it continues to fulfill its mission within Israeli society, to help and raise awareness about the issue of trauma due to terror and war, and to support NATAL's position as a leading professional knowledge center in the world.

  • Information About Israeli Academics Abroad and Activities to Absorb Academics Returning to Israel
    The Knesset Research and Information Center Information about Israeli Academics Abroad and Activities to Absorb Academics Returning to Israel The Knesset Research and Information Center Kiryat Ben-Gurion, Jerusalem 91950 Phone: 02-6408240/1 Written by: Dr. Naama Teschner Fax: 02-6496103 www.knesset.gov.il/mmm Approved by: Yuval Vurgan, Team Leader 30 January 2014 This document was written for the Knesset Science and Technology Committee, with a proposal for the agenda submitted by several Knesset Members on the subject of "Nobel Prize winning and the Israeli brain drain". Central issues in the higher education system and its budget are discussed extensively in an updated Knesset Research and Information Center document.1 This document will present updated data about Israeli academics leaving Israel for other countries (“brain drain”) and activities to bring them back from abroad and absorb them in Israel (“brain gain”). Actions by relevant bodies on this issue will also be detailed. 1. Background and data The phenomenon of academics migrating from country to country, often called “brain drain,” is part of a wider phenomenon of "international work migration", with its origin in personal circumstances (aspirations for career development and availability for advancement; the search for opportunities to improve salary and quality of life), socio-economic processes (demographic changes; excess demand for work in certain sectors in some countries concurrent with excess supply of workers in the same fields in other countries), or a combination of both.2 The Knesset has been requested to address this issue many times. For example, in 1983 Science and Development Minister Yuval Ne’eman, in response to a query on the issue of the brain drain from Israel, raised in the Knesset Plenum, announced the establishment of centers to attract educated Israelis located abroad.3 In recent years, the Science and Technology Committee and the Education, Culture and Sports Committee held several hearings on the issue.
