Dr. Thomas R. Paradise Thesis Director Dr. Noah Billig Dr. Joel Gordon Committee Member Committee Member Abstract Multidisciplinary research and philosophical discourse have long explored the complex relationship between the objective environment and subjective human perception. No two humans perceive, experience, and form attitudes about the same phenomenon in exactly the same way. Individual demographics (sex, age) and group identity (culture, religion, ethnicity, political ideology) have been shown to have a profound effect on perception of phenomena; research has also focused on the effect of the physical environment itself.

  • Jerusalem: City of Dreams, City of Sorrows
    1 JERUSALEM: CITY OF DREAMS, CITY OF SORROWS More than ever before, urban historians tell us that global cities tend to look very much alike. For U.S. students. the“ look alike” perspective makes it more difficult to empathize with and to understand cultures and societies other than their own. The admittedly superficial similarities of global cities with U.S. ones leads to misunderstandings and confusion. The multiplicity of cybercafés, high-rise buildings, bars and discothèques, international hotels, restaurants, and boutique retailers in shopping malls and multiplex cinemas gives these global cities the appearances of familiarity. The ubiquity of schools, university campuses, signs, streetlights, and urban transportation systems can only add to an outsider’s “cultural and social blindness.” Prevailing U.S. learning goals that underscore American values of individualism, self-confidence, and material comfort are, more often than not, obstacles for any quick study or understanding of world cultures and societies by visiting U.S. student and faculty.1 Therefore, international educators need to look for and find ways in which their students are able to look beyond the veneer of the modern global city through careful program planning and learning strategies that seek to affect the students in their “reading and learning” about these fertile centers of liberal learning. As the students become acquainted with the streets, neighborhoods, and urban centers of their global city, their understanding of its ways and habits is embellished and enriched by the walls, neighborhoods, institutions, and archaeological sites that might otherwise cause them their “cultural and social blindness.” Jerusalem is more than an intriguing global historical city.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

Jerusalem is characterized as well by its distinctive cultural and political history and a religious, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity that together weave the intricate fabric of this complex city. This unique character of the City of Jerusalem is reflected in the nearly 50-year mandate of the Jerusalem Foundation.

  • THE PYRAMIDS of ZION SACRED DISTANCES from the TEMPLE MOUNT a Case for the Occultic and Luciferian Ley-Line of Jerusalem by Luis B
    THE PYRAMIDS OF ZION SACRED DISTANCES FROM THE TEMPLE MOUNT A Case for the Occultic and Luciferian Ley-Line of Jerusalem by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org for online PDF illustrations in chart section The Pyramids of Zion that this study seeks to highlight and illustrate in various spots within the city of Jerusalem the reflection of is clandestine work hidden in plain sight. The chart by the same name accompanying this study will attempt to illustrate some unique distances in numerical values based on satellite GPS coordinates in relation to certain major geographic landmarks of the city of Jerusalem. In no other reference point, other than the Dome of the Spirits do these headings, angles, and numerical values occur. The numbers are rounded off to the nearest whole number. Based on the geometry and distances from the Dome of the Spirits, it is highly likely that this spot is indeed the place of the Holy of Holies where YHVH’s presence once was in the form of the Shekhinah Glory. This study strongly suggests that it is the ‘people’ that control such world capitals that are one in the same cadre of evil sorcerers that have an aim to complete their Master’s ‘Great Work’. This work is to usher in their Golden Boy false Messiah Prince, want-to- be-god AntiChrist along with their New Order. Why this notion has relevance to the Pyramids of Zion in Jerusalem is that according to the books of Daniel and Revelation, it will be Jerusalem that the struggle for world domination and the coming World Order will take place at.

  • Anti-Zionism, the Sophisticated Anti-Semitism
    THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE r^ ^ The Sophisticated k KENNETH S. STERN AND ZIONISM The SophisticatedANTI SEMITISM KENNETH S. STERN Kenneth S. Stern is program specialist on anti-Semitism and extremism for the American Jewish Committee. This publication was made possible by the Ernest Weiner Fund of the American Jewish Committee. FOREWORD November 10, 1975. This clay will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of the United Nations. On that day, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379 equating Zionism with racism. 1 was then serving as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations. I denounced the resolution as one of the most pernicious lies of our time; one which licensed anti-Semitism and granted it a new international respectability. It is a lie which corrupts the very ideals embodied in the United Nations Charter. This resolution was opposed by nearly every democratic nation on earth, and by many nations which were not so democratic but which opposed the resolution out of sheer revulsion. I believe that the events of the past fifteen years have proven me all too correct. I am pleased, however, that many of the nations that we once referred to as belonging to the "Soviet bloc" have repudiated this calamitous resolution. This has been as dramatic evidence of the moral rebirth of the governments of Central Europe as any we have seen. What immoral regimes assented to, moral governments instantly repudiate. It is far past time that we right this wrong. The American Jewish Committee's Anti-Zionism: The Sophisticated Anti-Semitism is a valuable history of anti-Semitism and the United Nations resolution.

  • Jerusalem Institute of Justice: Emergency Response Plan
    Jerusalem Institute of Justice – Travel resources TRANSPORTATION Air Travel The least expensive airfares to Israel are often priced for round-trip travel and must be purchased well in advance. Airlines generally allow you to change your return date for a fee; most low-fare tickets, however, are nonrefundable. Flights to Israel tend to be least expensive from November through March, except for the holiday season at the end of December. Prices are higher during the Jewish High Holiday period (usually in September or October) and Passover (usually in April). Flying time from New York to Israel is approximately 11 hours; from Los Angeles or San Francisco, it's about 14 hours nonstop, or 18 to 19 hours with the usual stopover in Europe or New York. International passengers are asked to arrive at the airport three hours prior to their flight time in order to allow for security checks. From North America, the New York City area international airports have the highest number of nonstop flights, with El Al Airlines, United, and Delta providing nonstop service. Direct flights are also available on El Al from Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto, and on United from San Francisco. Major European carriers— including Aeroflot, Air France, Alitalia, Austrian Airways, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Czech Airlines, Iberia, KLM, Lot, Lufthansa, Swissair, Turkish Airways, and Virgin Atlantic—have daily flights from the United States and on to Israel with stopovers in their domestic hub airports. Because Israel is only slightly larger than New Jersey, it's more efficient to drive within the country than fly.
