Price Tag and Extremist Attacks in Israel Price Tag and Extremist Attacks in Israel Since 2008, there have been repeated attacks carried out by extremist Israeli Jews against Israeli Arabs and Palestinians, often in reprisal for Israeli government action against illegal settlement activity. These attacks, which are frequently labeled “price tag” incidents, target mosques, churches, Arab and Jewish homes and property, Israeli military bases and vehicles, as well as other Israeli Jews. They involve the desecration of property with anti-Arab and anti-government slogans. Most of these attacks include the phrase “price tag” and are accompanied by hateful and racist slogans, the name of an illegal settlement, or a reference to an Israeli casualty of Palestinian terrorism, the implication being that the violent incident is the “cost” of Israeli government action on settlements or for anti-Israeli violence. There have also been a number of violent and deadly arson attacks carried out by extremists who, according to Israeli law enforcement, seek to destabilize the country and overthrow the Israeli government in order to establish a new regime to be based on Jewish law. The Israeli police have established a special unit tasked with cracking down on those committing price tag assaults. Many top Israeli leaders have condemned the price tag phenomenon and other extremist attacks, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, former President Peres and President Rivlin and other senior elected officials, religious leaders and members of civil society. ADL has also taken a strong public position on the issue, and has repeatedly issued unqualified condemnations of price tag attacks, called on law enforcement 1 / 9 officials to investigate suspected incidents and prosecute those responsible, and encouraged prominent Israel political, religious and societal leaders to speak out against the underlying hatred and racism that motivates price tag attacks. The following are select examples of major price tag attacks and acts of violence against Israeli Arabs and Palestinians: June 9, 2017 – Jerusalem – Cars belonging to Arab residents of the Beit Safafa neighborhood had their tires slashed, and a nearby wall was spray painted with the slogans “price tag” and “Kahane was right.” June 5, 2017 – Jerusalem – Five cars belonging to Arab residents in the French Hill neighborhood were spray painted with the slogans “death to Arabs” and “revenge.

  • Passive Tomography of Turbulence Strength
    Passive Tomography of Turbulence Strength Marina Alterman1, Yoav Y. Schechner1, Minh Vo2 and Srinivasa G. Narasimhan2 1Dept. Electrical Eng., Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel 2Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract. Turbulence is studied extensively in remote sensing, astron- omy, meteorology, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics. The strength of turbulence is a statistical measure of local variations in the turbulent medium. It influences engineering decisions made in these domains. Tur- bulence strength (TS) also affects safety of aircraft and tethered bal- loons, and reliability of free-space electromagnetic relays. We show that it is possible to estimate TS, without having to reconstruct instantaneous fluid flow fields. Instead, the TS field can be directly recovered, passively, using videos captured from different viewpoints. We formulate this as a linear tomography problem with a structure unique to turbulence fields. No tight synchronization between cameras is needed. Thus, realization is very simple to deploy using consumer-grade cameras. We experimentally demonstrate this both in a lab and in a large-scale uncontrolled complex outdoor environment, which includes industrial, rural and urban areas. 1 The Need to Recover Turbulence Strength Turbulence creates refractive perturbations to light passing through a scene. This causes random distortions when imaging background objects. Hence, modeling and trying to compensate for random refractive distortions has long been studied in remote sensing [40], astronomy [34] and increasingly in computer vision [2, 4, 10, 14, 18, 35, 38, 41, 52, 55]. Nevertheless, these distortion are not necessarily a problem: they offer information about the medium and the scene itself [44].

  • Politically Or Personally Motivated Appointments and Engagements in Local Authorities After the 2013 Elections
    Local Authorities Report 2016 Politically or Personally Motivated Appointments and Engagements in Local Authorities after the 2013 Elections Summary General Background On October 22, 2013, elections were held in 187 local authorities for head of the local authority and its council. A second round of elections was held on November 5, 2013 in 38 local authorities where no candidate for mayor received 40% of the legitimate votes1 in the first round. Following the two election rounds, the mayor was replaced in some 90 local authorities. In most local authorities where a new mayor was voted in, many new workers were hired to staff either existing or new positions. Civil service in Israel is based on a conception formulated in the early days of the State of Israel: a service of a national, professional nature devoid of any political interest, which implements the policy of the elected civil servants. The officials in the service are not replaced following a change in the local government. Regarding the negative phenomenon of political appointments, the Israel Supreme Court had this to say2: "A public authority which appoints a worker in the civil service, acts as a trustee of the public interest, the overarching rule being that such a trusteeship must be exercised with fairness and integrity, devoid of all extraneous considerations and in the interest of the public by virtue of which and for the benefit of which the power of appointment is given to the appointing authority… When a civil servant appoints a worker in the civil service based on extraneous considerations of political/partisan interests, such an appointment is not legitimate, as it is a breach of trust of the public which empowered the appointing authority." The employee hiring procedure in a municipality was established by the Minister of Finance in the Municipalities Regulations [Tenders for Hiring Employees], 5740-1979 (hereinafter: "hiring regulations").
