18 Maccabiah Gets Underway July 12 18 th Maccabiah gets underway July 12 th Cricket fans are in for a treat over the next few weeks, with no fewer than 25 games of cricket played at four venues over 9 days. Australia, Great Britain, India, Israel and South Africa will compete in the senior competition. All games will be played in-line with 50-over one- day international rules with former test star Adam Bacher again the main attraction, title. India is reportedly sending a strong team, including Bension Sagavkar who has Ranji Trophy experience. Australia have been hit by the withdrawal of star player Michael Klinger who has been selected for Australia A, and, with a young team, should do well to repeat their silver medal performance of the previous Games. Both Great Britain and Israel will be eying a place in the final. The Israel team, to be captained by Herschel Gutman, has the advantage of playing at home, on pitches and in conditions very familiar to all the Jerusalem the next target Following the success of the project between the ICA and UK- based charity Cricket 4 Change to introduce Bedouin youth in the Negev desert to cricket, plans are underway for the project to be expanded to Jerusalem, getting both Palestinian and Jewish children involved in the game. Apart from practice sessions and Cricket in Bedouin Negev village games taking place in Hura, kids from the town are brought to Be'er Sheva once a week for practices with local kids, with the goal being to establish a combined Jewish – Bedouin team to take part in an U14 international tournament in the near future. A youth tournament attended by over 80 players was held at Hadar Yosef on the festival of Lag B'Omer. For most of the Bedouin children present, it was their first time in Tel Aviv. ICA partners with Ayelet for some sea, sun and women's cricket Cricket was one of four sports chosen by the Israel non-Olympic sports organization to take part in a fun day on Bat Yam beach to promote sport amongst women. ICA coaches were on hand to assist, the girls and women enjoyed their taste of bashing a soft orange ball to all parts of the beach, and further foundations were laid in the attempts to establish women's cricket in Israel by the end of the year.

  • Emergency in Israel
    Emergency in Israel Emergency Update on Jewish Agency Programming May 16, 2021 The recent violent events that have erupted across the country have left us all surprised and stunned: clashes with Palestinians in Jerusalem and on the Temple Mount; the deteriorating security tensions and the massive barrage of missiles from Gaza on southern and central Israel; and the outbreak of unprecedented violence, destruction, and lynching in mixed cities and Arab communities. To say that the situation is particularly challenging is an understatement. We must all deal with the consequences of the current tensions. Many of us are protecting family, coworkers, or people under our charge while missiles fall on our heads night and day, forcing us to seek shelter. We have all witnessed the unbearable sights of rioting, beating, and arson by Arab and Jewish extremists in Lod, Ramla, Acre, Kfar Qassem, Bat Yam, Holon, and other places. As an organization that has experienced hard times of war and destruction, as well as periods of prosperity and peace, it is our duty to rise up and make a clear statement: we will support and assist populations hit by missile fire as we did in the past, after the Second Lebanon War and after Operations Cast Lead and Protective Edge. Together with our partners, we will mobilize to heal and support the communities and populations affected by the fighting. Our Fund for Victims of Terror is already providing assistance to bereaved families. When the situation allows it, we will provide more extensive assistance to localities and communities that have suffered damage and casualties.

  • West Nile Virus (WNV) Activity in Humans and Mosquitos
    West Nile virus (WNV) activity in humans and mosquitos Updated for 28/11/2016 In the following report, a human case patient who is defined as "suspected" refers to a patient whose lab test results indicate a possibility of infection with WNV, and a human case patient who is defined as "confirmed" refers to a patient whose lab test results show a definite infection with WNV. The final definition status of a patient who initially was diagnosed as "suspected" may be changed to "confirmed" due to additional lab test results that were obtained over time. Cumulative numbers of human case patients and mosquitos positive for WNV by location: Until the 28/11/2016, human cases with WNF have been identified in 54 localities and WNV infected mosquitos were found in 6 localities. אגף לאפידמיולוגיה Division of Epidemiology משרד הבריאות Ministry of Health ת.ד.1176 ירושלים P.O.B 1176 Jerusalem [email protected] [email protected] טל: 02-5080522 פקס: Tel: 972-2-5080522 Fax: 972-2-5655950 02-5655950 Table showing WNV in human by place of residency: Date sample Diagnostic status Locality No. Locality Health district received in lab according to lab 1 Or Yehuda 31/05/2016 Suspected Tel Aviv Or Yehuda 02/06/2016 Suspected Tel Aviv 2 Or Aqiva 17/07/2016 Suspected Hadera 3 Ashdod 19/09/2016 Suspected Ashqelon Ashdod 27/09/2016 Confirmed Ashqelon 4 Ashqelon 29/08/2016 Suspected Ashqelon Ashqelon 05/09/2016 Confirmed Ashqelon Ashqelon 08/09/2016 Confirmed Ashqelon Ashqelon 13/09/2016 Confirmed Ashqelon Ashqelon 22/09/2016 Confirmed Ashqelon

  • 'The Volunteer Tent'
    September 2012 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES: 2011-12 AT ‘THE TENT’ – OUR ARAB-JEWISH BEDOUIN VOLUNTEER CENTER Celebrating a decade of social action and active citizenship, the ‘Volunteer Tent’ is NISPED-AJEEC’s flagship youth and young people’s community involvement program. In 2002, a small group of community activists from AJEEC pitched a tent of hope and change, founding the Arab-Bedouin Volunteer Center (The Volunteer Tent). Today, the Tent is a hub of volunteerism, community work and Arab-Jewish cooperation engaging some 700 volunteers and benefitting 10,000 people in the recognized and unrecognized Arab Bedouin villages of the Negev. The ‘Tent’ recruits volunteers from within the Arab-Bedouin community, provides them with professional training and ongoing supervision, identifies community needs and deploys volunteers throughout the Bedouin towns and villages of the Negev in a variety of programs designed to meet these needs. The primary focus of the ‘Tent” programs is on children and youth at risk. 1 In 2011-12, 700 volunteers: Arab Bedouin university and college students, high-school students; Jewish high school graduates from the Scouts youth movement and Arab Bedouin high school graduates, among them 67 full-time gap-year volunteers conducted a wide range of educational and social enrichment programs in which some 7,000 children and youth participated on a regular basis at least once a week throughout the year. Several thousand others – both children and adults- benefited from a variety of special community–based projects and activities organized by the volunteers in the Bedouin towns and villages of the Negev. An important factor contributing to the success of our volunteer programs are the strategic partnerships forged over the years and significantly expanded this year.

  • Israel 2020 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, its parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve itself and mandate elections. On March 2, Israel held its third general election within a year, which resulted in a coalition government. On December 23, following the government’s failure to pass a budget, the Knesset dissolved itself, which paved the way for new elections scheduled for March 23, 2021. Under the authority of the prime minister, the Israeli Security Agency combats terrorism and espionage in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The national police, including the border police and the immigration police, are under the authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for external security but also have some domestic security responsibilities and report to the Ministry of Defense. Israeli Security Agency forces operating in the West Bank fall under the Israeli Defense Forces for operations and operational debriefing. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. The Israeli military and civilian justice systems have on occasion found members of the security forces to have committed abuses. Significant human

  • The Negev Bedouin Within the Legal and Spatial Conflict with the State of Israel
    Fighting for the Community, Tradition, and Culture - The Negev Bedouin within the Legal and Spatial Conflict with the State of Israel Magdalena Lacka Supervisor: Dr. Polly Pallister-Wilkins Student number: 10394362 Second reader: Dr. Martijn Dekker Master: Conflict Resolution and Governance Graduate School of Social Sciences University of Amsterdam Word count: 17499 June 2017 Abstract This thesis will study the Israeli land policies with respect to the Negev Bedouin. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the Israeli land laws and spatial planning policies impact the Negev Bedouin’s ability to access their human and land rights. The empirical part of this study was conducted in May 2017. Data for this research was collected through the methodological triangulation of document analysis and semi-structured qualitative interviews with experts and NGOs’ representatives working with the Negev Bedouin. A theoretical framework based on settler colonialism theory and critical legal geography theory, was used. Another objective of this study was to focus on the issue of indigeneity with respect to the Negev Bedouin, as this issue seemed to be an essential factor in the Bedouin land dispute. The whole conflict between the the Negev Bedouin and the State of Israel will be further illustrated in the case study of the village of Umm al-Hiran, in order to better exemplify the issues at stake. On the basis of the results of this research, it can be concluded that the Israeli modifications to the Ottoman and British land laws have served as a basis for the Negev Bedouin land dispossession, while the other Israeli land laws provided the means to limit the allocation of land to the Bedouin and to pressure the Bedouin population in the Negev.
