  • Canada's Tax-Deductible Support for Israel's Crimes
    Canada’s Tax-Deductible Support for Israel’s Crimes By Yves Engler Region: Canada, Middle East & North Africa Global Research, August 25, 2014 Theme: Religion Electronic Intifada 22 August 2014 When is a Canadian who leaves this country to join a foreign military force and participate in the killing of innocent civilians, including children, called a “terror tourist” and sent to jail? The answer is: only when that person joins a military force the Conservative government disagrees with. Numerous ministers in the current federal government have loudly denounced the radicalization of Canadian youth in foreign wars. Last year, the Conservatives passed a law that sets a maximum fifteen year prison sentenceleaving for “or attempting to leaveCanada” to commit terrorism.Jason Kenney, the minister for multiculturalism, recentlysaid the government is trying “to monitor networks that recruit and radicalize youth.” Last month, Somali-Canadian Mohamed Hersi was sentenced to ten years in prison for attempting to join the al-Shabab militia in Somalia. Arrested at Toronto’s Pearson airport before leaving, Hersi was not found guilty of committing or plotting a specific act of violence, but according to the presiding judge, was “poised to become a terror tourist.” Yet our government does nothing to hundreds of other Canadians who join a different foreign military force which daily terrorizes millions of people and often uses explosives to kill thousands — most of whom are civilians. It’s unknown exactly how many Canadians are participating in Israel’s ongoing attackson Gaza but an Israeli military spokesperson hassaid there were 139 Canadians in the Israeli military in 2013.

When Israel crossed the border in an attempt to rescue them, Hizbollah began its assault on Israel, launching thousands of rockets at nothern Israel. Michael immediately cut short his vacation and returned to Israel to serve with his unit, fighting to receive permission to rejoin them in the north.

  • Exporting Zionism
    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

    1 Yitzchak Calic Volunteer from the USA on the “Calanit” This is the Way it Was I lived in Naharia from 1949 – 1954 and from 1954 to this day I live in Hadera where my wife’s family lives since they came to Palestine in 1921 from Russia. I was born in Uvgheni, Rumania on July 4 1922. My father left for the US in 1930 and worked 12 hours a day, and earned $5.00 per week. He lived on $2.00 and sent my mother and their six children $3.00 per week until we got our visas in June 1932 and went to San Francisco where my father had a sister. All my family live in San Francisco to this day. I am the only one of two brothers and three sisters who made Aliya. About 1936 the Hashomer Hatzair Movement opened a branch in San Francisco whose leader was Yehoshua Zamir from Kibbutz Ein Dor (his son was killed on the Beaufort Mountain during the first Lebanese War in 1982). Two of my sisters and I joined almost immediately. I was drafted in December 1942 during WW II and was stationed in India and Burma. I was discharged in January 1946. After my discharge I went to the training farm run by the Hashomer movement in Hightstown, New Jersey, and was there until I volunteered to go to Palestine on a Hagana ship. The Hagana had bought the SS Mala, later renamed the “Calanit”. I worked as a sailor although I had no previous experience. We sailed from New York about March 1948 with 50 American volunteers and continued to Marseilles.
