Prix de la connerie, à titre posthume, à cet idiot de JF Revel, pour avoir écrit « Il y a une xénophobie généralisée chez les Irakiens... » (Le Figaro, 8 septembre 2003) édito Le Tournant par Serge Thion C'est le moment que nous attendions. Le sommet de la courbe. Le système politique américain est tel qu'une guerre prolongée n'est pas possible. Une occupation pacifiée, comme celle de l'Allemagne ou du Japon, oui : elle ne coûte pas de vies humaines et elle est largement subventionnée par l'occupé. C'est peut- être à une occupation de ce genre que rêvaient Rumsfeld et les néocons. Mais dans le contexte moyen-oriental, chauffé à blanc par les innombrables crimes des génocidaires judéo-israéliens, il ne peut y avoir de pacification. Il y a la guerre, voulue par les seuls Américains (Blair n'est qu'une petite crotte de chien) et nous n'avons pas grande gloire d'avoir prévu que les malheureux GI's, la tête dans le sac, allaient prendre dérouillées sur dérouillées. La première cause, la plus élémentaire, est que le système administratif et l'organisation mentale des Américains leur interdisent toute continuité dans l'effort. La Chambre des représentants est renouvelée entièrement tous les deux ans. C'est-à-dire que les élus du peuple sont en campagne électorale un an sur deux. D'où démagogie, corruption et absence de responsabilité politique. Chez les militaires, c'est encore pis. Quand ils sont envoyés à l'étranger, ils font un "tour" (c'est le mot en anglais) qui dure théoriquement un an. Au bout d'un an sur le terrain, l'individu mais souvent aussi son unité et son corps d'officiers retournent à la maison. Ils laisssent le matériel lourd pour leurs successeurs néophytes. D'où, un an plus tard, ils peuvent être renvoyés sur le terrain, mais probablement ailleurs. Le résultat de ce système aberrant est que des –– 3 –– GAZETTE DU GOLFE ET DES BANLIEUES / 59 / AUTOMNE 2006 militaires qui commencent à avoir une expérience et une connaissance du terrain où ils se trouvent sont automatiquement remplacé par des personnels équivalent, mais qui eux ne connaissent rien au terrain et aux combats qui s'y déroulent. C'est le principe de Peter (chacun finit pas être promu à son niveau d'incompétence auquel il s'arrête de grimper) appliqué dans une giration accélérée. C'est une excellente recette pour perdre, et elle avait déjà donné tous ses effets au Viêt- Nam. Il semble que les Américains soient totalement incapable de concevoir une autre façon de faire. Tous les observateurs sont d'accord en effet pour dire que cette armée d'occupation, qui maintient ses effectifs au plus haut niveau (150.000 hommes) perd la guerre parce qu'elle a un adversaire qui fait des progès dans tous les compartiments du combat : armement, effectifs, contrôle, etc. Il y a maintenant des provinces libérées, d'où la Coalition s'est simplement retirée. Comme en Afghanisatn, où les Anglais ont évacué certaines provinces "chaudes" comme le Helmand, où s'installe ausitôt une administration "talibane". La résistance, après trois ans et demi d'activité n'a pas perdu le souffle. Elle opère avec des unités de plus en plus grosses, en dépit de la surveillance aérienne toujours aussi dense. Elle ne semble manquer ni d'armes ni de munitions. On apprend d'ailleurs que la Coalition a négligé d'enregistrer 300.000 armes et qu'elle n'a pas la moindre idée de ce qu'elles sont devenues. L'administration de l'armée américaine a toujours été une source de gabegie énorme, et plus encore quand il s'agit d'expéditions coloniales. En Afghanistan comme en Iraq, les troupes n'ont jamais cessé de se plaindre de manquer de toutes sortes de choses parce que l'intendance ne suit pas. La coordination des mouvements de la résistance s'est améliorée. L'efficacité des engins explosifs sur le bord des routes s'est maintenue face à l'amélioration de systèmes de détection. C'est ce progrès, cette constance, cette efficacité qui a convainsu les électeurs américains que la voie suivie par le Maison blanche était une impasse. La culture américaine est fondée sur le cinéma. Et au cinéma, les bons gagnent au bout d'une heure et demie. Tout ce qui n'entre ps dans ce format mental est perçu comme mauvais. Dubya Bush a dû l'admetre en se défaisant de son Secrétaire à la Défense, quelques jours après avoir juré ses grands dieux qu'il le garderait. En français;, ça s'appelle manger son chapeau. Nous avions aussi écrit, à la veille de l'invasion, que finalement on pouvait se dire que celle-ci serait une bonne chose : plus les Américains allaient s'enferrer en Iraq, plus dure serait la défaite. Nous maintenons ce point de vue, qui ne tient pas compte, évidemment, de la sommes énorme de souffrances infligées aux populations civiles. Mais briser l'avant-garde militaire de l'Empire et de la globaliation coûte très cher, mais sûrement beaucoup moins que de la laisser triompher.

  • MIFTAH- Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy
    MIFTAH- Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy Protection of Women from Violence in Times of Armed Conflict: Palestinian Women as a Case Study Prepared By: Tamara Tamimi April 2020 1 Protection of Women from Violence in Times of Armed Conflict: Palestinian Women as a Case Study Abstract in English Violence against women in Palestine at the hands of Israeli occupation forces and settlers is part and parcel of the wider framework of violence against the Palestinian people. Violence by occupation forces takes many different forms, some are evident and clear such as targeted killing and injury, as well as imprisonment. Other forms of violence are less pronounced but equally important as they pertain to the forcible displacement of Palestinians; these include house demolitions, house evictions, revocation of residency, land and property confiscation and imposition of restrictions on the registration of newborns. While this violence is targeted against the entirety of the Palestinian people, including women, children and the elderly, it has a disproportionate impact on women due to reinforcement of patriarchy, traditional gender roles and stereotypes, as well as the reproduction of the cycle of violence by the stronger social group against the weaker social group, and signifying diminishing acceptance and tolerance to diversity and difference. Violence against the Palestinian people as a whole has persisted for over fifty years despite the multitude of instruments and mechanisms to protect from violence in times of armed conflict. This includes instruments within the framework of international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international criminal law, as well as the women, peace and security agenda.

  • Knesset Yisrael: Beyond the Zebra Effect Rabbi Reuven Brand Rosh Kollel, Yeshiva University Torah Mitzion Kollel of Chicago
    Knesset Yisrael: Beyond the Zebra Effect Rabbi Reuven Brand Rosh Kollel, Yeshiva University Torah Mitzion Kollel of Chicago One Statement, Three Questions לא הביט און ביעקב ולא He has not seen iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen impropriety in Israel; the ראה עמל בישראל ה' .Lord his God is with him, and the trumpet blast of a king is among them אלהיו עמו ותרועת מלך בו: Bamidbar 23:21 במדבר כג:כא This statement is one of the phrases that Hashem placed in the mouth of Bilaam, the gentile prophet, as he attempted to curse the emerging Jewish nation in the desert. His proclamation became a divinely inspired blessing, as this highly laudatory comment implies. Rashbam (R. Shmuel ben Meir, c. 1080-1160, France) explains the intent of the verse to mean that although sometimes the Jews do commit iniquity or impropriety, Hashem does not want to punish them. Ibn Ezra (R. Abraham Ibn Ezra, 1089-1164, Spain) suggests that Bilaam observed the success of the Jewish people and attributed it to their spiritual prowess, but were they to sin then Hashem would punish them. Rashi (R. Shlomo ben Yitzchak, 1040- 1105, France) cites a more radical interpretation. He explains that Hashem does not care to witness flaws or shortcomings among his people. This, however, is difficult to comprehend in light of a statement in the Talmud: אמר ר׳ חנינא: כל האומר הקב״ה ותרן R. Hanina said: If a man says that the Holy One, blessed be הוא ־ יותרו חייו, שנאמר: (דברים ל״ב) He, is forgoing, his life shall be outlawed, for it is stated, He is הצור תמים פעלו כי כל דרכיו משפט .

  • My Life's Story
    My Life’s Story By Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz 1915-2000 Biography of Lieutenant Colonel Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz Z”L , the son of Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Shwartz Z”L , and Rivka Shwartz, née Klein Z”L Gilad Jacob Joseph Gevaryahu Editor and Footnote Author David H. Wiener Editor, English Edition 2005 Merion Station, Pennsylvania This book was published by the Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz Memorial Committee. Copyright © 2005 Yona Shwartz & Gilad J. Gevaryahu Printed in Jerusalem Alon Printing 02-5388938 Editor’s Introduction Every Shabbat morning, upon entering Lower Merion Synagogue, an Orthodox congregation on the outskirts of the city of Philadelphia, I began by exchanging greetings with the late Lt. Colonel Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz. He used to give me news clippings and booklets which, in his opinion, would enhance my knowledge. I, in turn, would express my personal views on current events, especially related to our shared birthplace, Jerusalem. Throughout the years we had an unwritten agreement; Eliyahu would have someone at the Israeli Consulate of Philadelphia fax the latest news in Hebrew to my office (Eliyahu had no fax machine at the time), and I would deliver the weekly accumulation of faxes to his house on Friday afternoons before Shabbat. This arrangement lasted for years. Eliyahu read the news, and distributed the material he thought was important to other Israelis and especially to our mutual friend Dr. Michael Toaff. We all had an inherent need to know exactly what was happening in Israel. Often, during my frequent visits to Israel, I found that I was more current on happenings in Israel than the local Israelis.

  • Legal Pluralism, Religious Adjudication and the State
    A PLURALITY OF DISCONTENT: LEGAL PLURALISM, RELIGIOUS ADJUDICATION AND THE STATE Adam S. Hofri-Winogradow* INTRODUCTION The norms that the official legal systems of North American and European states apply do not derive directly from any religion. While some of those norms, such as some of the norms governing marriage, do originate, historically, in religion and religious law, no norms are today enforced by those legal systems because the norms are part of a specific religious legal order. And yet, adjudication according to religious norms is commonplace. In North America and Europe, the legal systems applying norms associated with specific religions to adherents of those religions are principally nonstate community tribunals. Outside this Northwestern world, state legal systems, particularly those of Muslim- majority jurisdictions, often permit religious normative materials to be applied to adherents of the relevant religions as a matter of state law. Both situations are examples of legal pluralism.' The popularity of the application of religious norms by state legal systems2 throughout much of the contemporary world raises a challenge * Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

  • On Jerusalem As a Feminine and Sexual Hypostasis: from Late Antiquity Sources to Medieval Kabbalah*
    On Jerusalem as a Feminine and Sexual Hypostasis: From Late Antiquity Sources to Medieval Kabbalah* Moshe IDEL 1. Introduction Modern scholarship of Jewish mysticism has addressed the status of the feminine within the divine realm in different ways. Unlike the more standard views of some Jewish theologians, like Maimonides, who envisioned Jewish thought as subscribing to a stark abstract monotheistic vision, scholars started recently to elaborate on a variety of diverging visions of the deity, some of which include feminine elements that played an important role in medieval Jewish sources known as Kabbalah. The origins of these elements are a mat- ter of dispute. Some scholars trace them to biblical times, as there are de- scriptions of the divinity or divinities in feminine terms in ancient Judaism.1 Gershom Scholem, however, opted for the importance of Gnostic sources as a major clue for understanding the background of early Kabbalistic discussions, and focused his explanation in a shift of the understanding of a Rabbinic 1 * This study is part of a more comprehensive book dealing with the emergence of the Kab- balistic views of femininity in preparation. For the vast scholarly literature on YHWH and the Asherah see, for example, the studies of Moshe Weinfeld, “Feminine Features in the Imagery of God in Israel; the Sacred Marriage and the Sacred Tree,” Vetus Testamentum, vol. 46 (1996), pp. 515–529, Mark S. Smith, “God Male and Female in the Old Testament: Yahveh and His ‘Asherah’,” Theological Studies, vol. 48 (1987), pp. 333–340, or J. A.
