The 65-year-old American businessman and former US ambassador to Austria was confirmed by the 400 delegates representing Jewish communities in over 80 countries and several affiliated international Jewish organizations. In his speech to delegates, Lauder emphasized Diaspora Jewry‘s unwavering support for the State of Israel, especially in the face of threats by terrorist organizations. He criticized countries and international bodies such as the United Nations for applying ―double standards‖ when it comes to Israel and not providing enough support.

The 13th Plenary Assembly on Monday in Jerusalem also confirmed Eduardo Elsztain of Argentina as the new chairman of the WJC Governing Board, succeeding Matthew Bronfman. Speaking to the delegates, Lauder emphasized Diaspora Jewry's unwavering support for the State of Israel, especially in the face of threats by terrorist organizations.

Israeli President Shimon Peres told delegates that Israel was right to defend itself against thousands of rockets launched by Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. "Instead of investing in the future, the Palestinian people, Hamas is buying arms to fight against Israel," Peres said. Two candidates in the Feb. 10 race for prime minister -- Defense Minister Ehud Barak, the Labor Party leader, and Likud Party chairman Benjamin Netanyahu -- addressed the delegates. Diaspora Affairs Minister Isaac Herzog also spoke. WJC Brussels Office – Page: 5 Lauder: Sanctions will not block Iranian nuclear ambitions Jerusalem Post, Israel 27 January 2009 Etgar Lefkovits The president of the World Jewish Congress said Monday that economic sanctions against Iran will not stop the Islamic Republic from seeking to obtain nuclear weapons. "My concern is that they [the sanctions] will not stop Iran from their quest for a bomb," Ronald S. Lauder told The Jerusalem Post during a gathering of the New York-based organization in Jerusalem. "Economic sanctions always help [but] the question is how strong they are and what effect they have. They cannot affect a country in the short-term." In defiance of the UN Security Council and years of increasing economic sanctions, Iran continues to enrich uranium, which nuclear experts say is the hardest part of building a bomb. "We all know that the obfuscation and trickery of the mullahs in charge of that once great country have one clear goal - a nuclear bomb," Lauder said. The American cosmetics heir also said that he was confident that US President Barack Obama would be supportive of Israel, noting that the first African-American president's popularity in the Arab world would likely further peace talks in the Middle East. "I am totally confident that Obama and his administration will work as hard as they can to protect Israel and look for peace," Lauder said. "The fact that Obama will be accepted by the Arab world... is also a key to world peace." His comments comes just two days before Obama's special envoy to the Middle East, George J. Mitchell, will arrive in Jerusalem for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and amid Israeli concern that the new US administration will pressure Israel. In an earlier address, Lauder blasted the world's "double standard" in criticizing Israel's recent military operation in Gaza, noting that no other country in the world would accept having thousands of missiles rain down on their civilians for years. "How long would your governments wait if you were threatened, not just by words that promised your destruction but by real rockets?" he said. "There is no question to how fast the US would have reacted." Lauder also blasted both the Red Cross and the New York based-Human Rights Watch for their "skewed" treatment of Israel. WJC Brussels Office – Page: 6 "These organizations pretend to be unbiased and care for all human beings..but from my observation they are nothing but pro-Palestinian fronts," he said. The remarks come at a time when anti-Israel protesters around the world - as well as some foreign government officials - have been comparing Israel's actions against Hamas in Gaza to those of Nazi Germany. "When I look at the double standards that the world applies to Jews...I come to the sad conclusion that with anti-Semitism the best we can hope for is that it goes away for a time, but like a persistent and deadly virus it re-energizes itself after a generation or two and comes back in all of its hideous forms," he said. The WJC president said that the lesson of the 1930s was the need to immediately react to any anti-Semitic incident anywhere in the world, but especially in Europe, which has witnessed a spike of anti-Semitic incidents since the military operation against Hamas in Gaza began. "Today in Europe the situation is as bad as it ever has been," he said. "In reality, to my mind [being] anti-Israel and anti-Semitism are the same thing," he concluded. In an earlier address, Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu called for the establishment of broad alliance against anti-Semitism and the "creed of hate," with both Christians and moderate Muslims around the world. "I have no doubt that ultimately militant Islam will lose the battle against modernity and freedom," Netanyahu said. "The question is [at] what price until that defeat is assured." WJC Brussels Office – Page: 7 Peres blasts 'misrepresentation of facts' on Gaza op Jerusalem Post, Israel 27 January 2009 Greer Fay Cashman Speaking on Monday at the opening session of the 13th plenary of the World Jewish Congress, President Shimon Peres sought to correct what he termed "misunderstandings" and the "misrepresentation of facts" about the disproportionate number of Palestinian casualties in Operation Cast Lead. During the period 2000-2009 there had been 5,792 Qassam rockets and 4,411 mortars launched from Gaza against Israel, the overwhelming majority in the last two years. "I don't know of any other country that went through such an experience," said Peres. Citing statistics of Israeli casualties of Palestinian terrorism, Peres said 842 civilians and 325 soldiers had been killed in recent years, making a total of 1,167 fatalities. "So where is the disproportion?" he queried, making the point that more than a thousand Israeli lives were lost in attacks from Gaza, in addition to others from attacks in the West Bank. Contrary to charges that Israel did not permit the transfer of food and fuel into Gaza, Peres said that 42,327 trucks transporting essential supplies had been allowed into Gaza. "The whole story of a siege is totally unfounded. There was never a shortage of fuel. There was never a shortage of food," he said. As for the smuggling of weapons, Peres referenced an example of a stockpile discovered on September 12, 2005, that included 300,000 kg of dynamite, 20,000 weapons that included rockets, rifles, machine guns and pistols, and half a million kilograms of ammunition. Although he has "never given up on peace," Peres sees no alternative to fighting terrorism. "When you fight terrorism you can't have a victory characteristic of conventional war, because there is no uniform, no front, no army. The only way we have to stop terrorism is to hit terrorists hard." While expressing the hope that Hamas had learned its lesson, Peres was well aware that it would take something more than Operation Cast Lead for the lesson to have long lasting effect. WJC Brussels Office – Page: 8 "Now they want a cease-fire for one-and-a-half years," he said. "They want our agreement that after one-and-a-half years they can shoot again, and they want the right to bring in arms." Declaring Hamas to be "the greatest Arab problem," Peres asserted that many Arab people know that their problem is not Israel but Hamas.

    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

    IN MEMORIAM Dr. Judith Freedman UDITH Freedman, who died in London on 20 December 2009, was for fifty years associated with the production of the Jewish Journal Jof Sociology, which her husband Professor Maurice Freedman had helped establish half a century earlier and which served and serves as the vehicle for the dissemination of high-quality research into problems of social formation, ethnic identity and demography amongst Jews both of the diaspora and of Israel. Dr Freedman was herself a scholar of international repute. Born into the large and well-connected Djamour family in Egypt on 22 September 1921, she was educated at the University of Cairo and at the London School of Economics, where she completed her doctoral research. This investigation, focussing on issues of kinship and matri- mony within the Malay community of Singapore, resulted in two influ- ential monographs, Malay Kinship & Marriage in Singapore and The Muslim Matrimonial Court in Singapore. Her professional interest in the social anthropology of south-east Asia had brought her into contact with a fellow researcher in this field, Maurice Freedman, late of the Royal Artillery. The couple were married in London in 1946. She collaborated with Sir Raymond Firth (her doctoral supervisor, Professor of anthropology at LSE and one of the founders of modern social anthropology) in his researches into issues of family and kinship in a south London borough. Maurice, mean- while, had returned to LSE as a lecturer, succeeding Firth as Professor of anthropology there in 1965. Five years later Maurice moved to Oxford, where, on the retirement of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard, he had been elected to its prestigious chair of social anthropology, and to an All Souls fellowship.
