Jewish Leaders Welcome Netanyahu Trump Admin's Welcomes New US Ambassador Clariﬁ cation Over to Israel Western Wall Status BY BEN COHEN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed new US Ambassador David Friedman to the Jewish state on Tuesday at a meeting in Jerusalem. Friedman had arrived in Israel the previous day, point- edly making the Western Wall in the Israeli capital’s Old City his fi rst stop. “It’s a pleasure to see you and to welcome you to Jerusalem, our eternal capital,” Netanyahu said as he greeted Friedman. “I know you went to the Kotel [Western Wall].

Chinese fi rms are failing to close business deals in the US due to tightening American commercial regulations, prompting the Asian companies to seek out new cutting-edge markets — such as Israel — for investing large amounts of Chinese capital.

BY RACHEL FROMMER

The goal of a Columbia University program launched last year is “to promote radical anti-Israel rhetoric and to provide a platform for propagators of the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement to spread their anti-Israel propaganda,” according to an investigative report released by a right-wing Zionist advocacy and education NGO. Im Tirtzu published its findings earlier this month, stating that of 32 authors involved in “The Nakba and the Law” initiative — a joint effort of Columbia’s Center for Palestine Studies and the left-wing Israeli NGO Adalah — 17 “openly support the BDS movement.” According to its website, the project has received grants from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research — which falls under the responsibility of the Dutch government’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and is housed in The Hague — and Columbia’s Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy. The project’s most recent article — published on the site in March 2017 — was written by John Reynolds, who, according to Im Tirtzu, was formerly a legal researcher for al-Haq, a Palestinian NGO “involved in libel, BDS and ‘lawfare’ campaigns against Israel.” Reynolds wrote that Israel has continuously and routinely committed violence “on Pales- tinian bodies and killing of Palestinian life” since 1948. Eytan Meir, director of external relations for Israel-based Im Tirtzu, explained to The Algemeiner that “The Nakba and the Law” was brought to the group’s attention by one of its activists who came across it on social media. “After looking into the project, it was evident that this was not an academic program aimed at educating Columbia University students, rather a concerted and deliberate effort to slander the Jewish state,” Meir said. Im Tirtzu CEO Matan Peleg has called the “Nakba” — the Arabic word meaning “catastrophe” that Palestinians use to describe their version of events surrounding the Jewish state’s 1948 founding — “a hypocritical attempt to rewrite history and to undermine the very existence of the State of Israel” and said “it is important to unapologetically call the ‘Nakba’ what it is: nonsense.” A6 | FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2017 Opinion.

People usually behave well But this is one reason that I strongly support the same upbringing and yet we were so different. We talk about good or moral human beings and about bad, immoral ones. But how does one become a good, moral person? Psychologists like Freud, Piaget and Kohlberg developed theories about child development and how children come to make moral decisions. They differed as to what was most significant: evolution, the development of a child’s brain, interaction with other children and adults, a process of socialization. A while back we would distinguish “nature” from “nurture.” In the nature argument, some stated that we are automatically good, born as noble savages, but civilization influences us to become selfish and bad. Freud turned this on its head and said that we are born selfish creatures, and we learn or are taught by our parents and society to control our ids. Then, there were those, like Eysenck, who unfash- ionably argued that good and bad behavior were conditioned by one’s genetic makeup — postulating, for example, the existence of a criminal chromosome, and producing a lot of crackpot pseudoscience, like The Scales of Justice.
