The State Laboratory of Hygiene, established in 1903, had by 1953 outgrown its boundaries in S.M.I. and a new State Laboratory of Hygiene was erected at the corner of Linden Drive and Henry Mall. The Laboratory carries out scientific investigation of diseases occurring in the state, makes special studies of the epi­ demiology of these diseases, and assists in the early diagnosis of certain chronic diseases such as cancer. · The sustained increase in medical school personnel, both teaching and research, has made necessary the erection of Bardeen Lab­ oratories and the new Medical Science build­ ing, to fulfill expansion demands of individual departments.

Addis Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs February 14, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33476 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Israel: Background and U.S. Relations Summary On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel declared its independence and was immediately engaged in a war with all of its neighbors. Armed conflict has marked every decade of Israel’s existence. Despite its unstable regional environment, Israel has developed a vibrant parliamentary democracy, albeit with relatively fragile governments. The most recent national elections were held on February 10, 2009, ahead of schedule. Although the Kadima Party placed first, parties holding 65 seats in the 120-seat Knesset supported opposition Likud party leader Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, who was designated to form a government. Netanyahu’s coalition includes his own Likud, Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home), Shas, Habayet Hayehudi (Jewish Home), the United Torah Judaism (UTJ), and the new Ha’atzmout (Independence) party. The coalition controls 66 of 120 Knesset seats. Israel has an advanced industrial, market economy with a large government role. Israel’s foreign policy is focused largely on its region, Europe, and the United States. Israel’s foreign policy agenda begins with Iran, which it views as an existential threat due to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism. Achieving peace with its neighbors is next. Israel concluded peace treaties with Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994, but not with Syria and Lebanon. Recent unrest in Egypt is rekindling latent anxiety in Israel about the durability of the peace treaty Egypt and Israel have relied upon for 30 years.

A retired physician who made a fortune purchasing hospitals and running bingo and casino operations in the economically depressed California town of Hawaiian Gardens, Moskowitz is well- known to those who follow the Israel-Palestine conflict. His contributions to far-right Jewish settler groups, questionable archaeological projects and widespread land purchases in East Jerusalem and the West Bank have routinely inflamed the region over the past four decades and, according to many familiar with the conflict, made him a key obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Now, at age 83, Moskowitz has turned his money on the American political realm in a more prominent fashion than ever before, funding "birther" groups that question the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship and others that stoke fears about the president's alleged ties to "radical Islam." Although he has funded Republican politicians and organizations in the past, his $1 million donation to American Crossroads is his biggest contribution to U.S.

  • Berlin in Jerusalem
    Berlin in Jerusalem The status of Jerusalem has been a subject of dispute ever since Zionism laid its claims to the land of Palestine more than one century ago. Settling in and around Jerusalem was always a central goal of the Zionist movement and - later on - of Israel. Early Jewish colonies in Jerusalem tended historically to fall largely to the west and north of the city, although in the western neighborhoods of the city during the Mandate period, Jews and Arabs were gradually mixing. But despite this growing Jewish presence, the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan did not give Jerusalem to either Jews or Arabs. (This was not a matter of dispute for Zionist leaders who, unlike the Arabs, officially accepted the plan. David Ben Gurion was reportedly planning a capital somewhere in the Negev.) Before and during the War of 1948, at a time when certain forces on both sides seem to tacitly agree on implementing the Partition Plan through war, Jerusalem was the site of bitter fighting. Zionist forces attempted to take the city, and when they failed their efforts went towards securing a connection between the Jewish settlements in and around Jerusalem and the rest of the Jewish 3 February18.p65 3 12/04/24, 02:29 ã communities in the new Jewish state.

  • Occupation, Excavation, and Neoliberalism in East Jerusalem
    The New Jewish Underground: Occupation, Excavation, and Neoliberalism in East Jerusalem Natasha Roth-Rowland April 1, 2019 1" The City of David archaeological park in Silwan, East Jerusalem, is a political and spatial microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A thriving tourist destination in a densely- populated Palestinian neighborhood on occupied territory, the site uses extensive multilingual signage to focus exclusively on ancient Jewish history, threading its way over- and underground in an effort to connect the biblical dots scattered throughout the area. The streets outside and surrounding the City of David park provide ample evidence of the broader tensions it encapsulates: security cameras line the sidewalks; private security vehicles are dotted along the road; and the area opposite the entrance to the park is a building site— formerly a complex built by local Palestinian residents that included a community center, cafe, and playground, all of which was demolished in 2012 in order to make way for an expanded visitor center for the City of David.1 Once inside the park, however, all evidence of the surrounding Palestinian neighborhood disappears. Alongside the City of David’s old-new crossover of a biblical diorama and well-equipped tourist site, then, a third intended impression is cultivated, this time by omission: that of a site which is, and always has been, exclusively Jewish. There is, however, more than just nationalism, archaeology, and occupation in East Jerusalem at work in the City of David. Despite being a national heritage site the park has, since the early 2000s, been privately run by Elad, a non-governmental organization with an explicit political goal of settling Jews in East Jerusalem.2 Since its founding in the mid-1980s, the group has received both public and private funding for its various activities in 1 Nir Hasson, “Israel Approves New East Jerusalem Visitors' Compound, Razes Palestinian Commu- nity Center,” Haaretz, February 13, 2012.
