A First Hand Account of the Entebbe Raid by Rami Sherman (1) (1).Pdf ST ANNES HEBREW CONGREGATION The Synagogue Orchard Road, St Annes-on-Sea, Lancs FY8 1PJ Telephone: 01253 721831 Rabbi Ephraim Guttentag 07909 257577 Email: [email protected] Date as Postmark Dear Member A First Hand Account of The Entebbe Raid by Rami Sherman St Annes Synagogue – Monday 8th May 7:30 p.m . On 4th July 1976, Israeli Commandos took part in a rescue, now known as Operation Entebbe, which became known as one of the most astonishing military missions ever seen, and is one of the proudest events in Israel’s history. Rami Sherman was a hero of that raid, and I am immensely proud that he will be visiting our synagogue in St Annes to give us his account of those remarkable events, over 40 years ago, which those of us of a certain age remember so well and which has been the subject of at least two films. This gives us a unique, and probably never to be repeated opportunity, to hear, at first hand, the amazing story of the rescue. His address will be in the Daniel Rose Hall of our synagogue at 7:30 p.m. on Monday 8th May. We will also use the evening to mark Israel’s Independence Day, Yom HaAtzmaut, which takes place in the previous week. Israeli style refreshments will be served and there will be an entry fee of £5. Entry must be pre-booked, by confirming your attendance with me by phone (07768 400144) or email ([email protected]). I urge you not to miss this opportunity. If you wish to remind yourself in advance of the details, there is a very good account at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OperationEntebbe. Kind Regards Robert Pinkus President Rami Sherman Rami Sherman was born on 4 April 1953. His parents were Holocaust survivors and came to Israel in 1945. Rami grew up on Kibbutz Lehavot Habashan, which is in the north of the country and was on the Syrian border until the Six Day War in 1967. He was educated in the Kibbutz system. In 1972, Rami enlisted to the army and was accepted into an elite unit, which today is allowed to be named – Sayeret Matkal (the Chief of Staff’s Special Forces). He successfully finished the combat soldier course and was sent to Officers School in order to return and receive command on a squad within the unit. In 1976, when an Air France place was hijacked and rerouted to Entebbe, Rami was the Operations Officer of the unit, under the command of Yoni Netanyahu z”l. In his capacity as Operations Officer of the unit, he was in involved throughout the week, preparing the unit for the Operation. Among other things, he coordinated between the unit and Dan Shomron, the Commander of the Operation, and the coordination required between the unit and the Israeli Air Force. Within the Operation, Rami was part of the 33 officers and soldiers who freed the hostages at the Entebbe terminal. He arrived with the first Hercules that landed in the airport, and was in the car that was driving behind the famous Mercedes. After Yoni Netanyahu was injured, he drove him to the Hercules, where a team of medical professionals were waiting, but unfortunately they could not save Yoni’s life. Later, Rami was the commander who led the rescued hostages to the Hercules. Upon returning to Israel, Rami continued to serve in the unit, and was a Special Operations Commander until 1980. After he was released from active duty, he helped establish the reserves unit. At age 50, he was released from doing reserve service. Rami is married, has two daughters and is grandfather to five grandchildren. In 1990, Rami finished his studies is physiotherapy at the University of Tel Aviv, and since that time he has worked as a physiotherapist in various positions, including, among other things, as a physiotherapist for the Israeli Olympic team. In 1993, Rami and his family moved to Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael, where they still live today. .

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗
    Between Minimum Force and Maximum Violence: Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗ Introduction: Balancing the Tools of Counter-Terrorism In most liberal democratic states it is the responsibility of the police forces to cope with “internal” threats, including terrorism, since in such states terrorism is invariably defined as a criminal act rather than a manifestation of insurgent political violence. In many such instances, the resultant quantitative and qualitative overtaxing of law en- forcement capabilities to keep the peace has led to calls by sections of the public, as well as by the legislative and executive branches of government, to expand both the le- gal and operational means available to combat terrorism, and to boost civilian agen- cies’ capacity to deal with terrorism in proportion to the perceived threat. The deterio- rating situation in Ulster in Northern Ireland between 1968 and 1972 and beyond is an illustrative case in point.1 Although there have been cases of successfully transmogrifying police forces into military-like formations, the best-known and arguably most frequent example of aug- mented state responses to the threat posed by insurgent political violence movements is the use of the military in the fight against terrorism and in the maintenance of internal security. While it is imperative that the threat of a collapse of national cohesion due to the overextension of internal civil security forces be averted, the deployment of all branches of the armed forces against a terrorist threat is not without its own pitfalls. Paul Wilkinson has enunciated some of the problems posed by the use of counter-ter- rorism military task forces, not the least of which is that [a] fully militarized response implies the complete suspension of the civilian legal system and its replacement by martial law, summary punishments, the imposition of curfews, military censorship and extensive infringements of normal civil liberties in the name of the exigencies of war.
