Israel and the Middle East News Update Israel and the Middle East News Update Thursday, April 16 Headlines: Israel Marks Holocaust Remembrance Day PM says West is ‘Comatose, Delusional’ in Face of today’s Nazis: Iran Rivlin: Past Horrors, Present Threats Won’t Dictate Our Future Foreign Ministry: Israel May Pay a Heavy Price for Crisis with U.S. European FMs: Label West Bank Settlement Products Power: U.S. Will Work Closely with Israel, Won’t Count out Resolution IDF Develops Tunnel Detecting System for Gaza Border F-35 Simulator Touches Down in Israel Commentary: Times of Israel: “On Holocaust Remembrance Day, Assessing ‘Never Again” By Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League MFA: “PM Netanyahu’s Speech on Holocaust Remembrance Day” By Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace 633 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20004 www.centerpeace.org ● Yoni Komorov, Editor News Excerpts April 16, 2015 Ynet News Israel Marks Holocaust Remembrance Day The State of Israel marks its annual Holocast Remembrance Day on Thursday with ceremonies commemorating the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II. The theme of this year's memorial events is "The Anguish of Liberation and Return to Life," focusing on the days after the defeat of the Nazis. At 10 am local time Thursday morning, a two-minute siren blared all across Israel in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. See also, “Annual march to Auschwitz sees more non-Jews, international delegations” (Israel Hayom) Times of Israel PM says West is ‘Comatose, Delusional’ in Face of today’s Nazis Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday compared Iran’s violent and expansionist aspirations in the Middle East to the Nazi campaign to conquer Europe during World War II. He excoriated the US-led world powers for capitulating to Iran. World powers are “comatose” and “delusional” in the face of today’s Nazis, Iran, he charged. “The main lesson of the Second World War, for democracies, is that they cannot turn a blind eye to tyrannical regimes,” Netanyahu said during a ceremony at the Yad Vashem museum to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Appeasement towards these regimes increases their aggressiveness,” the Israeli leader continued. “If this aggressiveness is not curbed in time, humanity may find itself in far greater wars in the future.” Times of Israel Rivlin: Past Horrors, Present Threats Won’t Dictate Our Future Speaking at the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony at Yad Vashem, President Reuven Rivlin’s hopeful tone diverged sharply from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fierce criticism that the emerging Iran deal indicated the world had not learned the lessons of the Holocaust. “We will not belittle any threats. Nor belittle shameful statements calling for the extinction of the Jewish people. Yet, while we are prepared, we are not scared,” Rivlin said. “The horrors of the past and the threats of the present will not dictate our lives, nor shape the lives of our children. They will not dim our hopes for a future of creativity and prosperity.” Ha’aretz Foreign Ministry: Israel May Pay a Heavy Price for Crisis w/ U.S. The director of the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday sent a letter to Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman warning that Israel “is liable to pay a heavy price” because of the “intense, ongoing, and public” crisis in relations with the U.S. administration. In a two-page letter obtained by Haaretz, Foreign Ministry director-general Nissim Ben-Sheetrit called on Israel to take steps to quickly repair U.S.-Israel ties or face the consequences in the diplomatic and security arenas. Ben-Sheetrit’s letter focuses on the tense relations between the Netanyahu government and the Obama administration. He wrote that close coordination with the United States is crucial and directly connected to Israel’s ability to cope with all its diplomatic and security challenges. 2 Ha’aretz European FMs: Label West Bank Settlement Products The foreign ministers from 16 out of 28 European Union countries on Thursday sent a letter to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini asking her to push forward the process of labeling goods produced in Israeli settlements that are sold in grocery chains across the continent. The letter obtained by Haaretz is signed by the foreign ministers of France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Malta, Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia, Hungary, Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. "We would like to draw your attention to the letter dated 13th April 2013 sent to your predecessor on EU wide guidelines on the labeling of settlement produce/products," reads the letter obtained by Haaretz. "…We remain of the view that this is an important step in the full implementation of EU longstanding policy, in relation to the preservation of the two-state solution." JTA Power: U.S. will work closely w/ Israel, wont count out resolution The United States would continue to “work closely” with Israel at the United Nations but would not count out advancing resolutions targeting Israel, Samantha Power said. Power, the U.S. envoy to the international body, testified Wednesday before the U.S. House of Representatives. Power said the United States would continue to stand with Israel “when it matters.” “We will continue to work extremely closely with Israel in New York,” Power replied. “As you know well we have a record of standing when it matters with Israel.” However, Power would not count out advancing U.N. resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is concerned that the Obama administration will no longer stand in the way of a Palestinian statehood resolution in the U.N. Security Council, and may advance a resolution outlining the parameters of a final status peace deal. Yedioth Ahronoth IDF Develops Tunnel Detecting System for Gaza Border Good news for the Gaza periphery communities: the IDF has developed a tunnel detecting system— the first of its kind anywhere in the world—as a response to the tunnel threat that was revealed in Operation Protective Edge. The new system has already been operating in the area of the border with Gaza for several months, and it has even proven its ability to spot attempts to dig terror tunnels from the Gaza Strip. Now the security establishment will have to decide whether to allocate a budget to complete the deployment of the system along the entire border between Israel and Gaza. See also, “Hamas accelerates its tunnel-building, using heavy machinery” (Times of Israel) Ynet News F-35 Simulator Touches Down in Israel The first simulator for the Israeli Air Force's most advanced jets – the F-35 – arrived in the Jewish State recently and was unveiled on Wednesday at an airbase in the Negev as part of the preparations for the advanced warplane's expected delivery in 20 months. The simulator will integrate with the rest of the air force's preparations ahead of the establishment of the first squadron for the stealth fighter. "The S-300 anti-aircraft system is exactly the type of threat the F-35 was designed to counter," said Steve Over, director for F-35 international business development, during a visit to the Israeli airbase. 3 Times of Israel – April 16, 2015 On Holocaust Remembrance Day, assessing ‘Never Again’ By Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League and a Holocaust survivor. As we observe the 70th Anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, it is an appropriate moment to assess how the message of “Never Again,” the major theme that emerged from this tragedy, is faring. “Never Again” conveyed several themes. First and most obviously, it said that the Jewish people should never be subjected to such murderous behavior. Second, a broader conclusion stated that not only assaults against the Jewish people but all manifestations of genocide must be prevented.Third, the ultimate lesson for the Jewish people from the horrors of the Shoah was that Jews could never again allow themselves to be powerless. So how are we doing? Not so well, when it comes to the very idea of a goal of slaughtering the Jews. The chief proponent of this today is Iran and its leadership. At the very moment when a nuclear deal is being worked out and, with it, the removal of sanctions and inevitably new legitimacy for the Islamic regime, its verbal attacks on the Jewish State have heated up. Only weeks ago, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that, “The destruction of Israel is non-negotiable.” Months before, while the nuclear talks were reaching a critical state, the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, announced a nine-point plan for the elimination of the Jewish State. Neither statement provoked a major outcry in the international community nor did they raise questions about treating Iran as a normal state. What is suggested by all this is that as much as the Shoah is commemorated — through a day, through education, through observance — the world does not take seriously enough the modern-day threat to revisit those terrible days. There are many reasons for this – realpolitik, tiredness, not taking Iran seriously, seeing Israel as strong. None of that excuses the apathy in the face of open Iranian intentions. As to the concept of genocide, here too there is erosion. The term genocide is often misused to justify criticism of policies that people do not like, for example with regard to the Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. In fact, if we define genocide as it should be, as a deliberate effort to destroy a particular group through violence, we unfortunately see too much of it around the world. In the Middle East alone, ISIS is taking this to new levels with its murderous assaults on Christians, other minorities and even Shiites.

  • Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel's Ethnic Democracy
    DEMOCRACY, IDENTITY AND SECURITY IN ISRAEL’S ETHNIC DEMOCRACY: THE IDEATIONAL UNDERPINNINGS OF INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE By Dubi Kanengisser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Dubi Kanengisser, 2016 Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel’s Ethnic Democracy: The Ideational Underpinnings of Institutional Change, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016, Dubi Kanengisser, Graduate Department of Political Science, University of Toronto Abstract This work expands on the growing ideational institutionalist literature by proposing that institutional change and stability are influenced most substantially by changes to the underlying ideational network which link core societal ideas. These core ideas create the framework on which institutions are built and in which form they are fashioned. Changes to the ideational network lead to adaptive changes in institutions, but the difficulty in completely removing core ideas from these networks protects the institutions from substantial change. The theory is demonstrated using the case of the surprising stability of ethnic democracy in Israel in the wake of the substantial changes to the country’s economic and security realities. Small adaptive changes in the institution of ethnic democracy are traced back to changes in the balance between three core ideas: democracy, Jewish identity, and security. The overall stability of the institution, however, is linked to the enduring linkages of the three core ideas even as they experienced changes in their individual meanings. ii Too many years the Israeli left also accepted the separation between Jews and Arabs. First by looking away, then through submission, and finally wholeheartedly, it adopted the racist world view that the Arabs are not part of the political game.

  • Continuity and Change in Israel's Strategic Culture
    CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN ISRAEL’S STRATEGIC CULTURE Gregory F. Giles Prepared for: Defense Threat Reduction Agency Advanced Systems and Concepts Office Comparative Strategic Cultures Curriculum Contract No: DTRA01-03-D-0017, Technical Instruction 18-06-02 This report represents the views of its author, not necessarily those of SAIC, its sponsors, or any United States Government Agency Continuity and Change in Israel’s Strategic Culture Gregory Giles STRATEGIC CULTURE DEFINED For the purposes of this project, strategic culture is defined as: Shared beliefs, assumptions, and modes of behavior derived from common experiences and accepted narratives (both oral and written), that shape collective identity and relationships to other groups, and which determine appropriate ends and means for achieving security objectives. This definition is well-suited to consideration of the Israeli case. As explained below, Israel has cultivated—some would say imposed—a set of beliefs and assumptions on its citizenry as a means of simultaneously building and defending the fledgling Jewish state in the face of deep Islamic hostility. This belief system is rooted, in part, in such ancient texts as the Bible but is under considerable pressure from contemporary demographic, ideological, and religious changes in Israeli society. As a result, there is both continuity and change in what passes for “appropriate” ends and means of achieving security in Israeli terms. Indeed, the strategic culture framework could provide a useful tool for anticipating how the Jewish state might come to grips with its ongoing internal, as well as external, security challenges. STRATEGIC CULTURE PROFILE Summary Description Israel’s is a strategic culture in transition.

  • Four Constructions of the Holocaust in Israeli Political Culture
    Cont Jewry (2017) 37:125–170 DOI 10.1007/s12397-017-9208-7 The Holocaust in Israeli Political Culture: Four Constructions and Their Consequences Editor’s Note: This Article is Followed by Four Comments and a Response by Ian Lustick Ian S. Lustick1 Received: 14 March 2016 / Accepted: 23 March 2017 / Published online: 24 April 2017 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2017 Abstract The collective memory of the Holocaust among Israeli Jews has featured competition among four related but distinct constructions: Zionist Proof-text; Wasting Asset; Object Lesson for safeguarding human rights; and Template for Jewish life. This paper will analyze this competition and the implications of the apparent victory of the Template. While there is a sequence to the changing prominence of these different versions of the Holocaust, each version has enjoyed periods of relative success since World War II. In recent decades, however, the Holocaust as a Template for Jewish Life has emerged as ascendant. Throughout, competition among the four constructions was driven by parochial and temporary political interests and by the unintended consequences of dissatisfactions associated with any one of them. My analysis will trace this competition and those conse- quences, using them to explain the extreme and highly particular features of current Israeli Jewish collective memory of the Holocaust. The paper concludes with an assessment of the implications of the hegemonic status of this version of the Holocaust for appreciating Israel’s contemporary political predicament.

  • The Holocaust, Securitization of Iran and Israel's Iran Policy Yahudi
    Bilge Strateji,Bilge CiltStrateji, 8, Sayı Cilt 15, 8, GüzSayı 2016, 15, Güz ss.59-83 2016 The Holocaust, Securitization of Iran and Israel’s Iran Policy Yahudi Soykırımı, Güvenlikleştirme ve İsrail’in İran Politikası Teslim: 18 Ocak 2016 Onay: 15 Eylül 2016 A.Murat AĞDEMİR* Abstract Any attempt to understand Israel’s securitized policy towards Iran requires a careful investigation of the historical memories of the Jewish people. In this context, the Holocaust is an important trauma to understand Israeli foreign policy towards Iran. The Holocaust has been present in the thoughts of Israel’s leaders, and these people have lived in the shadow of the trauma of total de- struction. The Holocaust’s influence is so evident that many political actors in Israel believe that Iran is to be prevented not to have nuclear capability. In this regard, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has worked tirelessly to securitize the Iranian nuclear program in order to justify using any means necessary to prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear weapon. The aim of this ar- ticle is to try to scrutinize why Israeli leaders want to take actions against Iran which may not be within the range of accepted norms within the international community, and is to show how the memory of the Holocaust was reflected in the foreign policy of Israel towards Iran. Keywords: Israel, Iran, Securitization, Foreign Policy, the Holocaust. Öz İsrail’in güvenlikleştirilmiş İran politikasını anlamak için Yahudi halkının tarihi geçmişinin incelenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu açıdan, Yahudi soykırımı, İran politikasının incelenmesinde dikkate alınması gereken önemli bir tarihi travmadır.

  • The Holocaust and Israel's Domestic, Foreign and Security Policy
    Israel Studies: An Anthology - The Holocaust and Israel's Domestic, Foreign and Security Policy The Holocaust and Israel's Domestic, Foreign and Security Policy By Shlomo Aronson (December 2009) Introduction The Holocaust, its historical interpretations, and its lessons are interwoven into the Israeli identity and manifested in various ways. Here we explore the historical and contemporary impact of the Holocaust on Israel’s society, its politics, and the actions that it has taken for its security. Hitler’s ascendance in January 1933 and his phased totalitarian takeover, including the various steps of his anti-Jewish policy, elicited a number of responses, controversies and ongoing debates among Zionists and Jewish leaders at the time and to this day. For the Zionists, even if not for many German Jews, Hitler’s rise to power validated their fear that European Jewry faced existential threats. Their practical responses amounted to enhanced efforts to exploit Hitler’s forced immigration policy in its various stages between 1933 and 1940, including the negotiation of an agreement between the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the German government. In the so-called Ha’avara (Hebrew for “transfer”) accord, concluded shortly after Hitler’s accession, Jewish property in Germany was converted into financial instruments and vital commodities, which were then transferred or shipped to Palestine and used there by the original owners upon arrival in the country as well as by other recent immigrants. The Ha’avara arrangement was vehemently rejected by Vladimir (Ze’ev) Jabotinsky, the leader of the Zionist nationalist opposition, and by a few radical opponents of the mainstream Zionist leadership who favored an international boycott on German products.

Case Study – Iran…………………………………………… 106 VI. Case Study – Palestine……………………………………… 124 VII. Conclusion………………………………………………….. 148 Bibliography………………………………………………... 167 3 I. Introduction The purpose of this project is to examine the dynamics of leadership and contribute to the international relations literature. Through the use of operational code analysis, my intent is to determine the philosophical and instrumental beliefs of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the implications of these beliefs for Middle East politics. Because of Israel’s continued centrality in the Middle Eastern security landscape, its occupation of disputed territories, and its increasingly strained relations with the United Nations, enemies, and allies alike—a trend that is noticeably worsening under Netanyahu administration—I argue that this is a timely study. Examining first-hand accounts of his politics and policies, I attempt to build a profile describing Netanyahu’s general belief system while taking into account lessons learned in the realm of psychology. For the purposes of further exploring the subject and expanding the utility of operational code analysis, this study introduces a new source of data: social media. It also applies facial recognition software analysis, a method gaining traction in psychological study, to compare to traditional operational code analysis results.
