From: "bruce rubin" <[email protected]> To: Council CC: Date: 4/20/2016 8:45:39 AM Subject: Sister state with Palestine Dear Boulder My name is Bruce Rubin and it has been documented in the News that you may be planning to call yourself a sister state for the Palestinian cause. I have been watching the Middle East since I was a teenager and there has been much suffering on both sides but I have to point out Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza hoping it would be the first steps of a Palestinian state. Hamas was elected and took over Gaza on a platform to fight until all the Jews were gone and to establish a caliphate from Jerusalem to Rome.During the Hamas/Gaza takeover roughly 1100 Fatah members were killed. As you may not be aware, Gaza celebrated the 911 attacks on the USA which were broadcast on Fox News. In order to understand I am not crackpot I am sending you links from MEMRI which translates and analyzes for the CIA and the State Dept Thank you for your time.

The Green Prince,” Mosab Hassan Yousef Betrayed His Father and Passed Intel from the Highest Echelons of Hamas to Israel’S Internal Intelligence Agency for Years
From Radical Muslim To Israeli Spy The- Moshe Holender Green Prince - Yitzchok Wagschal Code-named “The Green Prince,” Mosab Hassan Yousef betrayed his father and passed intel from the highest echelons of Hamas to Israel’s internal intelligence agency for years. Amazingly, he is still alive to tell his story. The True Interview As the eldest son of the influential sheikh who co-founded Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef seemed destined to follow in his father’s footsteps. Growing disillusioned with the terrorist organization’s ideology, which glorified death and taught that jihad was the only path to victory, he eventually agreed to work as a spy for Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet. It was a decision that would not only change the course of his life, but save hundreds of innocent civilian lives. His Shin Bet handler, Gonen Ben-Yitzchak, met with Zman for an in-depth inter- view, including never-before-revealed details, and provided us with a unique firsthand account of Mosab’s riveting story—a story of trust, betrayal and the dark world of secret intelligence. 132 | ZMAN • December 2015 ZMAN • Kislev 5776 | 133 hin Bet Captain Loai had just received Ten minutes later he called Loai back and he thought as they rumbled down the road an intelligence report about a terror- told him, “The guy is staying in room 120.” toward a safe house in Yerushalayim.

Shalom: Peace, Not Just Peace of Mind Parashat Ki Tetze Rabbi Daniel Cotzin Burg, Beth Am 9.6.14 ~ 11 Elul 5774
Shalom: Peace, Not Just Peace of Mind Parashat Ki Tetze Rabbi Daniel Cotzin Burg, Beth Am 9.6.14 ~ 11 Elul 5774 This week I spent a day in Washington with thought-leaders, rabbis and policy analysts. We were speaking about Israel, America’s relationship with the Jewish state and the current deeply troubling state of affairs in the Middle East. The most surprising and powerful presentation of the day was that of Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founder and spiritual leader of Hamas. Given the events of this summer, it was particularly poignant to hear the heartfelt and courageous words of this young author and former Israeli asset (as he sat on the dais across from his Shin Bet handler). To even begin to conceive of such heroism, we almost have to transport ourselves into a different time – say Germany of the 1940s, when precious few righteous individuals resisted and acted against the scourge of Nazism. We might visit Rwanda or Cambodia, Darfur or America’s antebellum south. There are far too many examples in human history of pervasive, systematic violence and too few stories of those who made the hardest choices to turn against their fathers, brothers and their communities and attempt to salvage their dignity and humanity. Or perhaps we should roll the Torah back from its current location near the end, to a story near the very beginning whose hero, a simple man named Noah, is tzadik tamim haya b’dorotav, “a righteous man, blameless in his generation” (Gen. 6:9). I would argue it’s virtually impossible for us, most or all of us in this room, to know what it is like to live among the truly malevolent and depraved – a society so bad God sees no recourse but to erase it and start over.

Israel & the Last Days
P. M. WILLIAMS BIBLE PROPHECY AND THE LAST DAYS [24/05/13] ISRAEL & THE LAST DAYS – PART 6 1When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt... 3Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; 4For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. (Deu 20:1, 3-4) A HISTORICAL SKETCH OF ISRAEL FROM 1948 – PRESENT – PART 3 Recap We learnt last week of the Camp David Accords which were signed in September 1978 between Israel and Egypt securing peace between these two countries on the condition that the Sinai be returned to the Egyptians. Another part of the accords was a framework that was drawn up establishing a format for future negotiations regarding the transfer of Arab-Palestinian governance of the West Bank and Gaza Strip which Israel seized control of in the 1967 war. The Sinai was given back to Egypt in 1982, but negotiations to hand back the West Bank and Gaza did not occur until the 1990’s in the Oslo Accords. We learnt that through much of the late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, Yasser Arafat’s PLO terrorist organisation reined terror upon Israeli civilians operating out of the countries of surrounding nations including Jordan in the 60’s, Lebanon in the 70’s and early 80’s and finally Tunisia.

Facing Israel: the Struggle for Hope
1 Facing Israel: The Struggle for Hope Kol Nidre 5775 Rabbi Michael Z. Cahana, Congregation Beth Israel, Portland Oregon Somewhere, deep in a vast American military base in Sicily, a skype call was initiated. It was mid-summer and the young man was calling his rabbi: in Portland, Oregon. Now, this is the kind of thing you live for in my line of work. One of my students, a young man with promise, making his way in the world, wanted to speak to the rabbi of his youth! He had a problem and he hoped his rabbi could help. There he was on my computer screen - looking more like a man than I ever did at his age. Confident. Secure. Military. "Rabbi," he said after some preliminaries, "I'm constantly getting into fights with people on the base." I raised an eyebrow. "No, verbal fights, arguments" he corrected my obvious misconception. "About Israel." "They know I'm Jewish. And with the war going on in Gaza, I am always put in the position of having to defend Israel. But I don't have the words. Can you help me, rabbi?" Well, this wasn't exactly the spiritual crisis I had expected. Or maybe it was. He had learned from me, I hope, the Jewish ideals of compassion. Not seeking vengeance from an enemy. He had learned that G-d wept over Pharaoh's army drowned in the rushing waters while Moses and the Israelites cheered their victory from oppression. G-d cries for the victims. So should we. He had learned - this military man - that while the Torah acknowledges there is a time for peace and a time for war, that there are ancient Jewish rules of warfare that stress concern for the innocent.

A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in Partial Fulfil
THE DAHIYEH DOCTRINE: THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH STATES CAN ESTABLISH ASYMMETRIC DETERRENCE A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Rafael D. Frankel, M.S. Washington, DC July 3, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Rafael D. Frankel All Rights Reserved ii THE DAHIYEH DOCTRINE: THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH STATES CAN ESTABLISH ASYMMETRIC DETERRENCE Rafael D. Frankel, M.S. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT For the last decade, a growing body of research has sough to understand how classical deterrence methods could be adapted by states to establish asymmetric deterrence against non-state militant groups. Various strategies were suggested, but the research undertaken to date focused nearly exclusively on the actions of the defending state. This research project is the first formal effort to discover under what conditions deterrence against such groups can be established by focusing on important attributes of the non-state groups themselves. The result is the development of the Asymmetric Deterrence Matrix (ADM), which in eight temporally-bound case studies involving Hamas and Hezbollah successfully predicts the level of deterrence Israel should have been able to achieve against those groups at given periods of time. This research demonstrates that there are four main causal factors related to a non-state group’s characteristics that constrain and encourage the success of asymmetric deterrence strategies by states: elements of statehood (territorial control, political authority, and responsibility for a dependent population), organizational structure, ideology, and inter- factional rivalries.

Quitting Violent Extremism
Quitting Violent Extremism Motivations for Disengagement An Honors Thesis for the Department of International Relations Roland A. Gillah Tufts University, 2016 Abstract Among the thousands of young men flocking to violent groups across the Middle East, there are a number of individuals who have willingly chosen to quit fighting. Using firsthand accounts from fighters who left groups such as the GIA, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Hamas, Al Qaeda, and the Gama‘a Islamiyya, this Senior Honors Thesis examines four distinct questions. Firstly, it lays out the common processes of disengagement from violent groups among the different accounts, highlighting that fighters leave groups first and foremost to protect themselves or those they care about. Secondly, it addresses the key motivations for disengagement, specifically that the primary reasons are existential, that the secondary reasons tend towards frustration with their groups, and that their tertiary reasons are rooted in guilt. Thirdly, the thesis examines common triggers among the different individuals, and finally the thesis looks at the question of ideology: whether a complete change of beliefs (de-radicalization) is necessary for a fighter to choose to end violent behavior (disengagement) and quit a group. i Acknowledgements The genesis of this thesis began in Amman, Jordan in 2015, where I was studying Arabic in my junior year of university. Walking home one night, my best friend and I were attacked by a young man with a sword. My friend’s hands were cut to the bone, and with the help of some kind Jordanians, we were able to get him to the hospital. Experiencing the violence that has become so commonplace in the Middle East left me with a burning question.

1 Rabbi Leonard Rosenthal Tifereth Israel Synagogue HH 3 5775 For
1 Rabbi Leonard Rosenthal Tifereth Israel Synagogue HH 3 5775 For many years, with rare exception, it has been my custom to speak about Israel during the High Holy Days. Sometimes I feel guilty about it. I know any sermon I give about Israel will be a slam dunk crowd pleaser, at least among those congregants who unabashedly support Israel. Yet Israel is becoming an increasingly contentious topic, especially among younger Jews. In some congregations Israel has become so controversial that rabbis are afraid to speak about it. A recent poll commissioned by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, indicates that a majority of American Rabbis are afraid to share their true feelings about Israel, half because they fear their positions are too liberal for their congregations and the other half because they fear their opinions are too conservative. I count myself among the majority. When I discussed this quandary with my daughter, Margalit, and asked her opinion about what I should say about Israel this year, she had one word of advice: “be honest.” The problem with being honest about my thoughts and feelings about Israel is that they are not simple and neat. They are complicated and conflicted. I guess that’s part of being a Jew. I love Israel and I support Israel’s right to exist and right to defend herself. Israel is the national homeland of the Jewish People. A little over two thousand years ago we were exiled from our land, but never lost our dream and resolve to return there. There 2 has always been a Jewish presence in Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel, and over the centuries Jews have always tried to move there.
