Israel Update – Monday, July 3 Israel and the Middle East News Update Tuesday, September 8 Headlines: Dagan: The Problem is Iran, not President Obama Israel to EU Team: Labeling Settlement Products is Unfair Knesset Approves Gas Deal Mayor Ron Huldai intends to run for Leadership of Labor Party Italian Jewish Leaders Urge Rivlin to Block New Israeli Amb. MK Omer Bar Lev Headed to DC to Present Support for Iran Deal Israel Develops Palm-Sized Flying Nuclear Detectors Commentary: Ha’aretz: “Israel Must Deal With Its Own Refugees First: The Palestinians” By Ron Ben Tovim Washington Post: “Congress should authorize war against the Islamic State” Editorial 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 September 8, 2015 Jerusalem Post Dagan: The Problem is Iran, not President Obama Former Mossad director Meir Dagan criticized the government’s handling of the Iranian nuclear threat on Monday, suggesting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is alienating Israel from the United States and President Barack Obama. Speaking at the Terrorism’s Global Impact summit in Herzliya, which was organized by the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, Dagan said that “it was a strategic decision by Israel to adopt a policy against the United States,” but “the problem is Iran, not President Obama.” He stated that he is “truly sorry to see this conflict reaching places that I think are against the interest of Israel and against the interests of the United States.” See also, “Dagan: Israel Must End Criticism - Problem Is Iran, Not Obama” (Ha’aretz) Jerusalem Post Israel to EU Team: Labeling Settlement Products is Unfair Israel voiced strong opposition on Monday during a high-level diplomatic dialogue with the EU over its plans to label goods produced beyond the Green Line, diplomatic officials said. The Israeli team to the annual informal strategic dialogue with the EU was led by the Foreign Ministry’s deputy director-general for political affairs, Alon Ushpiz, and the EU team was headed by Helga Schmid, the deputy director-general of the European External Action Service. The meeting took place a day before European Council President Donald Tusk is scheduled to arrive for a two-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Tuesday. Ynet News Knesset Approves Gas Deal An agreement over the financial future of Israel's gas fields passed a vote in the Knesset Monday by a vote of 59-51, inspiring Prime Minister Netanyahu to stand up in applause as the results were announced. "This is a great day for the State of Israel," said Netanyahu after the vote. "I am committed to bringing the gas to the Israeli economy, the hundreds of billions for the education, social welfare and health of Israel's citizens, and tens of billions for investment and jobs." The deal constitutes an agreement between the government and two major companies, Delek and Noble, to allow for the production and sale of natural gas found off of Israel's coast several years ago. Israel Radio News Mayor Ron Huldai intends to run for Leadership of Labor Party Labor Party figures increasingly believe that Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai intends to run for leadership of the party. In a letter to party members, Huldai called for elections to be held for all of the party’s institutions including for the chairmanship. He said that the party should prepare for general elections as if they were to be held tomorrow and the party therefore required leadership that has the trust of its members. 2 Ha’aretz Italian Jewish Leaders Urge Rivlin to Block New Israeli Amb. Leading figures in Italy’s Jewish community asked President Reuven Rivlin during his visit last week to intervene to block the appointment of former Italian parliamentarian Fiamma Nirenstein as Israel’s ambassador in Rome. Last month Haaretz reported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention to appoint Nirenstein to the post; the prime minister’s decision is unusual in that the current ambassador, Naor Gilon, still has a year until his term is up, and Nirenstein’s appointment has already begun the vetting process by the Civil Service Commission. However, the appointment has still not been approved by the cabinet and therefore senior member of the Jewish community still believe that it is not too late to reconsider. Rivlin told Dureghello and Di Segni that he understood their concerns but that he had to decline their request because he had neither authority nor responsibility for the appointment of ambassadors. Rivlin proposed that the two leaders present their arguments to Netanyahu, who is also the foreign minister. Jerusalem Post MK Omer Bar Lev Headed to DC to Present Support for Iran Deal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have said that the fight against the world powers’ agreement with Iran is not over yet, but MK Omer Bar-Lev (Zionist Union) thinks it’s a done deal and Israel must work on protecting itself from new threats. Bar-Lev headed to Washington on Monday night to present his ambivalent, but nuanced view on the Iran deal to Rob Malley, head of the Middle East desk at the US National Security Council, 15 members of Congress, and at a press briefing. He does so right after Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan returned from a US campus tour to make the case against the agreement. J Street, which organized Bar- Lev’s trip, said a previous delegation it brought to the US in the summer “shared their sense of how and why upholding the deal will make Israel safer,” but Bar-Lev, a former commander of the elite Sayeret Matkal commandos, only partly falls in line with that stance. “The last thing I’m saying is that the agreement is good and that I agree with it. I’m saying that it is a fact,” Bar-Lev stated. Times of Israel Israel Develops Palm-Sized Flying Nuclear Detectors Israeli nuclear researchers have developed a micro-copter capable of tracking nuclear radiation in difficult terrain. The palm-sized drones, developed with funding from the US Department of Energy, were invented in Israel’s Negev Nuclear Research Center, better known as the Dimona nuclear facility, where foreign governments believe Israel developed and may house a nuclear arsenal, Ha’aretz reported Tuesday. The micro-copters are essentially undetectable and can collect data on radioactivity emanating from underground sites, even in rugged terrain that can be difficult to reach on the ground or view from space. While the miniature drones were developed to track radiation levels at radioactive sites without risking the lives of human technicians, and Israeli officials say they were developed purely for defensive purposes, the applications for Western enforcement of Iran’s nuclear program are clear. 3 Ha’aretz – September 8, 2015 Israel Must Deal With Its Own Refugees First: The Palestinians Instead of bickering over whether it is the Jewish State's morally duty to receive Syrian refugees, we should consider this: What has Europe learned from the Holocaust, and what has Israel yet to learn? By Ron Ben Tovim Israel’s opposition leader and all-around invisible man, MK Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union), weighed in on the escalating migrant crisis in Europe on Saturday, saying it was Israel’s moral duty to accept Syrian refugees. The wellspring for this no-doubt noble sentiment, as is customary in the multifaceted world of post-trauma Israel, was a very thinly veiled reference to the Holocaust: “Our nation knows the lessons of history well. We cannot remain indifferent to this great suffering.” Herzog’s comment came just days after the world was moved by the announcement that some European nations, led by Germany, would accept thousands of refugees into their territory. This followed weeks of unbearable scenes, with desperate families storming the borders of Southern and Eastern Europe. While the Holocaust always seems to pop up everywhere in the Israeli public discourse, its appearance this time is especially poignant. What is it, the world is asking, that Europe has learned from the Holocaust? And what has Israel yet to learn? Despite the fact that the Holocaust ended 70 years ago, the argument over the lessons of the most cataclysmic event of the 20th century continues to rage. “The Holocaust taught us to be sensitive to the plight of other people,” some say, while others claim the only lesson is that “the Jews must have their own country, their own army, so as to prevent another Holocaust.” With his comments, however, Herzog is demonstrating his own lesson from the Holocaust: To continue a proud and, to say the least, imperfect European tradition of empty gestures geared at washing over continuing, continent-sized, injustices, as opposed to facing the reality he is actually responsible for – the flimsy future of Jews and Palestinians. Taking on refugees from a global crisis feels and looks right, but Israel is in far too deep in the debris of its own making to perform empty gestures. The reality is that Israel can’t accept Syrian refugees, not morally. Not because taking them in wouldn’t seem moral – it certainly would, and the pictures would no doubt be heartwarming. But because Israel, as long as its dispute with the Palestinians isn’t resolved, owes a debt first and foremost to the refugees it actually is responsible for creating: the millions of Palestinian refugees waiting on the sidelines of a nonexistent peace process. To assume moral responsibility and take responsibility for the lives of other human beings requires that one be not only committed to their well-being, but that one’s own well-being, at least to a degree, also depends on it.

  • Israel's Response to Terrorism
    Effective solidarity among states has become a prerequisite for ultimately succeeding in the war of the West against jihadist terrorism. A cohesive military strategy is needed for the West, the Arab states that are threatened, and Israel. It stands to reason that, just as all three face similar threats, the JERUSALEM models developed in Israel for dealing with terror merit attention in Europe and beyond. BERLIN Amb.

Dore Gold, President 1 The Jerusalem Center’s Path-breaking Impact on U.S. and Israel’s Foreign Policy Israel’s Critical Security Requirements for Defensible Borders, the Jerusalem Center’s flagship project over the years, has borne demonstrable fruit. Amb. Dore Gold was invited to the East Room of the White House on January 28 when President Trump unveiled the Vision for Peace to Prosperity plan. At a press conference held at the Jerusalem Center two weeks later, Ambassador David M. Friedman expressed thanks to Amb. Gold on behalf of the United States for his time and expertise in the plan’s preparation. While much work remains ahead, and whether the issue is defensible borders for Israel or legislation to outlaw payments to Palestinian terrorists, the Jerusalem Center takes pride in its measurable impact on foreign policy in Israel, the U.S. and Europe. The Trump Plan: A Changing Diplomatic Paradigm for the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict The Jerusalem Center held a special briefing on Feb. 9, 2020, on the U.S. peace plan with U.S. Amb.

  • Il Sionismo E Tangentopoli
    Venerdì 26 settembre 2014 ________________________________________________________________________________ Il sionismo e Tangentopoli Ripensiamo a Tangentopoli/1 Claudio Moffa Del sionismo non si può parlare, del sionismo si deve, in realtà, parlare per capire come gira il mondo. Ma sulla base dei fatti, questo il punto. Partiamo ad esempio dalla guerra di Gaza: in un quadro più complesso e più esteso, che può comprendere anche il disegno di una ennesima pulizia etnica nei Territori, nell’attacco israeliano dell’agosto scorso è emerso anche il fattore gas, i giacimenti contesi tra lo Stato di Israele e il semi- Stato palestinese, con la Gazprom russa come partner potenziale di Hamas. Ma cosa è successo? Da una parte l’invasione di Benjamin Netanyahu, i bombardamenti, le stragi di 2.000 civili, tra cui 400 bambini; dall’altra George Soros che ci fa sapere attraverso la 'CNN', che è stato lui a ordire il colpo di Stato a Kiev, un golpe e una crisi che almeno fino ad oggi hanno tenuto Vladimir Putin in una posizione di stallo, più difensiva che offensiva. Dunque, ecco il perfetto parallelismo, se non la perfetta intesa, tra il Sionismo territoriale (l’espansionismo di Israele, l’agire del sionismo come Stato), e dall’altra parte il Sionismo a-territoriale e transnazionale della grande finanza laica, quella delle banche spesso egemoni in Occidente, delle rivoluzioni colorate, della weltanschaung sionista diffusa, attraverso Hollywood o certe reti multimediali, ai quattro angoli del mondo, e con contenuti a 360 gradi: dalla Storia alle cronache di guerra, dall’immigrazione ‘inarrestabile’ e chi la blocca è un ‘razzista’, agli Stati-canaglia.

Ani Moda ve mitrageshet. It is for me an honor and a great emotion to be hosted by Knesset Israel on this important occasion. I know and I love this place from my activity as a journalist and a writer. I love its walls, its square Greek shapes and ambitions, the faces of Ben Gurion, Golda, Moshe Dayan and Yigal Alon on the green walls in the entrance, and the white shirts without tie that you could always meet in this institution. I love its history at peace and at war. It’s for me and for all the world a valorous outstanding symbol of enduring democracy in the middle of the most overwhelming difficulties. I would like to thank MK Yohanan Plesner for inviting me, and with him all the very efficient staff of the new born European Forum of the Knesset (EFK), in particular Meital Goor and Michel Gourary of the European Friends of Israel. I would like to thank President Rubi Rivlin for welcoming us, all the Ambassadors in particular Mr. Davide La Cecilia from the Italian Embassy. I bring the regards of the President of my Parliament Mr. Gianfranco Fini to Mr. Rivlin personally and to you all. It is extremely important that the Knesset has instituted a group aimed at strengthening the relations with European Parliaments.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs T\wo PIVOTAL DATES IN 1992 were April 9, the date of the general election, which resulted in a close Conservative victory; and September 16 ("Black Wednesday"), when the pound sterling was forced out of the fixed-rate European Monetary System. In April the Tories, led by Prime Minister John Major, returned to power, defying the predictions of the pollsters but with a much reduced overall majority of 21. Neil Kinnock resigned as Labor leader, to be replaced by John Smith. The campaign was marked by successful and sustained Conservative attacks on Labor's alleged tax-and-spend policy. Much was also made of signs of the onset of economic recovery, but this did not materialize, and the continuing high level of interest rates (barely reduced from 10.5 percent to 10 percent in May) squeezed the life out of the faint revival in consumer spending. In fact, unemployment increased by 35,000 in the first 11 months of 1992, and manufacturing output at year-end was almost no higher than in 1979, when the Tories first came to power. The summer was spent trying to reconcile the need of the domestic economy for a looser monetary policy with the constraint imposed by membership in the Euro- pean system. This precarious balance was upset by several events: the Danish rejection of the Maastricht treaty in a referendum on June 2, a further increase in German interest rates in July, and the unilateral devaluation of the Italian lira by 7 percent early in September. The pound sterling meanwhile sank to the bottom of its permitted level against the deutsche mark.

  • Changing Jewish Communities
    Changing Jewish Communities Number 66 February 24, 2011 http://jcpa.org/article/the-paradox-of-the-italian-jewish-experience-in-1990-2010/ The Paradox of the Italian Jewish Experience in 1990- 2010 Dr. Ephraim Nissan There is a paradox to the Italian Jewish experience in the 2000s. Jews are more integrated than ever since 1945, and Israel has been relegitimized in important quarters after being in practice delegitimized by the Communists, Socialists, and those media close to the Christian Democrats in the late 1970s and 1980s, reaching the lowest point in the second half of 1982. Yet, because of various factors including the web as well as unwillingness to take things in stride any longer, the organized and individual voices of Italy’s Jews are now often blunt, harsh, and resentful in a way that would have been unthinkable previously. While the Jews are indeed more accepted than ever, sporadic expressions of direct, incontrovertible anti-Semitism have occurred even in the circles of power, and even at the highest levels. The past twenty years have seen a confluence between Italy’s far Left and far Right in adopting anti-Israeli and sometimes anti-Semitic positions. In some cases this has involved tolerance of right-wing Holocaust denial by elements on the Left. Italy’s severely anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic responses to the 1982 Lebanon war involved both global and local aspects. It both reflected Italy’s past and has partly shaped patterns of response to Middle Eastern and Jewish affairs by a sizable part of Italy’s media and public opinion.
