Les Panoramas Du Lac De Tibériade, Des Vues Sidérantes, Ancrées Dans L’Histoire
Les panoramas du lac de Tibériade, des vues sidérantes, ancrées dans l’Histoire Le panorama de Beitsaida surplombe le nord du lac de Tibériade et la vallée luxuriante de Beitsaida Valley. (Crédit : Asaf Ben-Zvi) Gracia Mendes Nasi, connue également sous le nom de Dona Gracia, était l’une des femmes les plus riches de l’Europe du 16e siècle. Née en 1510 dans une famille de Marranes portugais – ces Juifs baptisés chrétiens par force – elle avait épousé un oncle très riche à l’âge de 18 ans. Quand il est mort, moins d’une décennie plus tard, elle avait découvert qu’il avait fait d’elle son unique héritière. Et finalement, en raison d’une querelle familiale sur l’héritage, elle avait été dénoncée par sa sœur pour sa pratique secrète du judaïsme, et avait été incarcérée. C’était alors l’époque de l’Inquisition, une époque d’immense péril pour les Juifs d’Europe. Et après la libération de Dona Gracia, cette dernière était parvenue à persuader le sultan turc de rebâtir la ville de Tibériade, autrefois grandiose. Là-bas, elle avait érigé une implantation juive pour y accueillir les réfugiés fuyant l’Espagne et le Portugal et avait mené d’autres belles actions : elle a construit des écoles, des synagogues, et a assumé une mission de mécénat pour les artistes juifs. Et il n’est donc guère surprenant qu’en plus d’un hôtel qui porte le nom de cette grande dame et d’un musée qui raconte sa vie, Tibériade s’enorgueillisse d’une forêt Dona Gracia, qui offre un panorama unique pour admirer les eaux scintillantes du lac.
Made in Israel: Agricultural Exports from Occupied Territories
Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 The Coalition of Women for Peace was established by bringing together ten feminist peace organizations and non-affiliated activist women in Israel. Founded soon after the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, CWP today is a leading voice against the occupation, committed to feminist principles of organization and Jewish-Palestinian partnership, in a relentless struggle for a just society. CWP continuously voices a critical position against militarism and advocates for radical social and political change. Its work includes direct action and public campaigning in Israel and internationally, a pioneering investigative project exposing the occupation industry, outreach to Israeli audiences and political empowerment of women across communities and capacity-building and support for grassroots activists and initiatives for peace and justice. www.coalitionofwomen.org | [email protected] Who Profits from the Occupation is a research center dedicated to exposing the commercial involvement of Israeli and international companies in the continued Israeli control over Palestinian and Syrian land. Currently, we focus on three main areas of corporate involvement in the occupation: the settlement industry, economic exploitation and control over population. Who Profits operates an online database which includes information concerning companies that are commercially complicit in the occupation. Moreover, the center publishes in-depth reports and flash reports about industries, projects and specific companies. Who Profits also serves as an information center for queries regarding corporate involvement in the occupation – from individuals and civil society organizations working to end the Israeli occupation and to promote international law, corporate social responsibility, social justice and labor rights.

Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.
