The works of art are not illustrations of the texts, but rather indicate a growing interest on the part of artists in environmental thinking. This innovative approach, the incorporation of a “visual report” alongside the written one is in itself a call for collaboration and dialogue between artists, scientists and the community – on behalf of the environment. Curators of the Visual Report on behalf of the Forum: Rachel Sabag, Racheli Yosef, Galia Gavish. vii Shadow C ONTRIBUTING O RGANIZATIONS The Adva Center is an action-oriented policy analysis institute focusing on equality and social justice issues. Policy analysis, especially budget analysis, form the basis of Adva's activities. In addition, Adva engages in advocacy, organizing and public education work. Alrazi Association for Environmental Education in Tira was founded in 1998 by a group volunteer university graduates from Tira, an Arab town of 20,000 residents in the center of Israel. Alrazi works to improve achievement and environmental education and awareness in Tira’s ten schools, and among residents, most of whom make a living in petty commerce or as employees in neighboring Jewish cities. Alrazi organizes day-long conferences for school children, as well as clean-up campaigns, and neighborhood restoration. The organization has recently received support for the development of youth leadership for the environment. Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) founded in 1994 is a regional non-governmental organization that brings Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians together to deal with common environmental concerns. The organization advocates sustainable development issues around shared ecosystems such as the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba and lobbies decision makers on regional policy issues dealing with water, trade and transboundary investment projects. The chapter enclosed is the responsibility of the Tel-Aviv office of the organization. 2 The Green Network in Israel promotes schools in developing a sustainable perception of the natural and social world, as central to their educational agenda, while engaging young people in active change in their community. Serving more than 30 schools around the country, the Green Network supports teachers and schools through in-service training and networking, national and regional conferences, financial aid to green projects in the schools, and leadership training for teachers and young people. The Healthy Cities Network, which has operated in Israel since 1990, promotes partnerships and coordination within municipalities to help design their health development plans on the basis of a city health profile. All 37 member cities and towns have adopted the principles and strategies of “Health for All”, “Agenda 21” and an equity agenda. Members develop active collaboration with service providers and citizens in the city to identify the population’s needs, the inequalities in health, and the aspirations of the citizens as a basis for inter-sectorial discussions and a participatory process for priority setting and planning for intervention. The Heschel Center for Environmental Learning and Leadership was founded in 1998, with a mandate to enhance the intellectual leadership for the Israeli environmental movement, and serve as a central address for Israeli environmentalism, while supporting the expansion of the local environmental movement. The Center works to put forth a vision of a sustainable society in Israel, and to catalyze initiatives within key sectors toward building a sustainable society. Activities focus on fellowship programs and professional seminars, network-building, empowerment of activists and organizations, and producing strategically targeted publications Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI) is dedicated to the promotion of Israeli/Palestinian cooperation. It is managed jointly by Israelis and Palestinians and is based in Jerusalem. Its environmental program has been in existence for ten years and has dealt primarily with issues relating to water supply and distribution and the influence of environmental pollution on public health.

Just beyond the wall lies the neighborhood of al-Ram, now severed from East Jerusalem. Inside front and inside back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°49 10”N / 35°15 59”E Palestinian side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of ʿAnata. The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

  • Appendix 1(V) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS in ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS
    Appendix 1(v) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS IN ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS 1. On August 11, 2006, during the second Lebanon war, three files were found in the village of Aita al-Shaab in the central sector of south Lebanon. They contained range cards for three 120 mm mortar and 122 mm upgraded Grad rocket fired from positions in the region of Shihin. The range cards were dated December 2005 and were for 122 mm upgraded Grad rockets (with a range of 20 km – 12.5 miles). The range cards belonged to the artillery department of the Nasr Unit, the unit responsible for the area south of the Litani River, and operating under the command of the Jihad Council.1 2. It should be noted that most of the rockets fired at Israel during the war were various types of 122 mm rockets (HE-frag rockets, cluster bombs, and upgraded rockets with extended range). The following data are for an upgraded Grad rocket: 1 The Jihad Council is a department within the Hezbollah headquarters, responsible for building up the organization’s military power and preparing it for emergencies. Hajj Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Nasrallah’s military deputy, heads it. He is wanted by the United States for the many terrorist attacks he has carried out against American targets. In addition, Argentina has issued an international warrant for his arrest because of his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. 2 Upgraded 122 mm Grad rocket Diameter: 122 mm. Range: 20 km (12.5 miles)* Warhead weight: 66 kg (145 lbs) Manufacturer: China, Iran, Russia, Bulgaria * There are also upgraded Grad rockets with ranges of 30-40 kilometers (18- 25 miles), however, the seized range cards referred to rockets with a range of 20 kilometers Firing Position No.

  • Hezbollah's Use of Lebanese Civilians As Human Shields: the Extensive Military Infrastructure Positioned and Hidden in Populated Areas
    Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies (C.S.S) December 5, 2006 To the reader: We have recently completed a comprehensive study entitled “The use of Lebanese civilians as human shields: the extensive military infrastructure positioned and hidden by Hezbollah in populated areas. From within the Lebanese towns and villages deliberate rocket attacks were directed against civilian targets in Israel.” The study was based on a wide range of materials which have not previously been used. The issue of the terrorist organizations’ use of human shields is important for understanding the dilemma faced by the State of Israel and international community as they confront terrorism, not only in Lebanon but in the Palestinian Authority- administered territories and in other arenas around the world. We are sending you the main points for perusal, and the entire study will shortly be available (in sections) on the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center Website. Yours sincerely, Dr. Reuven Erlich Director of the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies (C.S.S) November 2006 Hezbollah's use of Lebanese civilians as human shields: the extensive military infrastructure positioned and hidden in populated areas.

  • NEH Narrative (Jaffa
    STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT Project title: Insurgency, Resistance, and Interaction: Archaeological Inquiry into New Kingdom Egyptian Rule in Jaffa Since 2007 the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project has brought to light the results of earlier excavations from 1955 to 1974 in Jaffa (Tel Yafo) by Jacob Kaplan, the municipal archaeologist of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. One of the primary objectives of this project was to provide a baseline for renewed archaeological exploration of Jaffa in which modern data collection methods and analytical techniques are employed to improve our understanding of the site and its population. During the Late Bronze Age, for example, from ca. 1460 to 1200 BC Jaffa, on the coast of Canaan (southern Tel Aviv today), functioned as an Egyptian garrison, supply-port, and administrative center for Egypt’s New Kingdom imperial expansion into Canaan. Work on the earlier excavation records and the renewal of excavations in 2011 (with plans to continue in 2012) have revealed an archaeological narrative for a period fraught with conflict and resistance to the Egyptian presence by the region’s Canaanite inhabitants, alongside evidence of increasing social interaction. Studies over the past five years reveal that Tel Yafo provides an ideal archaeological site for assessing the intensity and character of social interaction between the Egyptian military personnel and local communities as revealed in multiple destruction levels and changing percentages of various types of material culture over time. Plans for the continuation of excavations at the site employing high-resolution recovery methods intended to obtain a wider array of material evidence such as botanical, faunal, shell and residue samples indicative of food production, consumption, and local economy during different periods offer the potential of revealing a narrative of social interaction at one of the most important fortresses within Egyptian imperial control of Canaan over a period of nearly 300 years.

  • Birthday Celebrating a 78 Is Today Kibbutz Matzuva
    KIBBUTZ MATZUVA IS TODAY CELEBRATING A 78TH BIRTHDAY The clock always ticks away and as a 3 year old toddler born in Liverpool in 1937 my life was intertwined with the German "Blitz" (Bombing) of the Liverpool port being the source of the USA assistance of supplies to Britain. The residential area around the port area was flattened by Nazi planes with a heavy loss of life and destruction. I visited Liverpool a few weeks back with some of the family of 3 generations with 2 grandsons who were actually on a "heritage journey" to discover how the family arrived from Eastern Europe to Britain some of whom settled in the UK while the majority preferred to travel to the States. My wife Irene was born in Rotterdam Holland and as a baby spent 4 years with a Dutch Christian couple close to the German border until the end of the war in 1945. After the war Irene was reunited with her family. In February 1940 the group of 29 youngsters who had arrived in Palestine having been sent by their parents from Nazi Germany crossed the northern road from their camp at Lower Hanita and established Kibbutz Matzuva on a barren hill purchased by the Jewish Agency from a rich landowner from Beirut in Lebanon. The hill was full of boulders and except for a number of carob trees it was without any water that had to be delivered weekly from Nahariya. The huts and tents from Lower Hanita were used by the fledgling kibbutz named Matzuva. All these events happened at the latter years of the British Mandate of Palestine until 1948.
