Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace 633 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20004 www.centerpeace.org ● Yoni Komorov, Editor ● David Abreu, Associate Editor News Excerpts September 23, 2016 Ha’aretz Netanyahu: UN a 'Moral Farce'; Will Not Accept Dictates Prime Minister Netanyahu attacked the UN at his General Assembly address on Thursday. In his speech, Netanyahu said he will resist any attempt by the UN to dictate terms to Israel and said he welcomes "the spirit" of the Arab Peace Initiative and boasted that most of the Arab world was already in talks with Israel, despite the way they vote at the UN. Netanyahu was harshly critical of the UN, for "obsessive bias against Israel." He described the General Assembly as a "disgrace," the UN Human Rights Council as a "joke" and UNESCO, the UN's cultural organization as a "circus." "Began as a moral force, the UN has become a moral farce," the prime minister said. See also: “Analysis: In stark contrast to Abbas, Netanyahu radiates optimism at UN” (Jerusalem Post) Times of Israel In Fiery UN Speech, PM invites Abbas to Address Knesset Prime Minister Netanyahu on Thursday invited Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to speak at the Knesset and offered to speak at the PA headquarters in Ramallah to advance peace. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday invited Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to speak at the Knesset and offered to speak at the PA headquarters in Ramallah to advance peace. “You have a choice to make,” Netanyahu said, still addressing Abbas, who had spoken in the plenum only minutes before. “You can continue to stoke hatred, as you did today. Or you can confront hatred and work with me to establish peace between our two nations.” See also, “PA official: Netanyahu’s invitation to address Knesset ‘bluff’ ’’ (Times of Israel) Ynet News Abbas Calls to Return to 1947 Partition Lines Palestinian President Abbas called to return to the borders originally proposed in the UN's 1947 Partition Plan that divided Mandatory Palestine into two countries—a Jewish one and an Arab one. "Israel, since 1948, has persisted in its contempt for international legitimacy by violating UNGA Resolution 181 (II): The partition resolution... Israeli forces seized more land than those allotted to them," Abbas said during his address to the UN General Assembly. "Regrettably, however, the SC is not upholding its responsibilities to hold Israel accountable for its seizure of the territory allotted to the Palestinian State according to the resolution. I appeal to you read this resolution once again. "The Israeli War of Independence was fought due Arab refusal to accept this initial partition plan.” See also, “Netanyahu: Road to peace runs through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not NYC' (Ynet News)” Jerusalem Post PM Explains Russia's interest in Cooperating with Israel Netanyahu explained Russia's possible interests in cooperating with Israel on Thursday during a discussion organized by a New York-based think tank. "I think Russia has variegated interests. The first interest is to make sure militant Islam does not penetrate and destabilize Russia. Netanyahu addressed the crowd gathered for the Hudson Institute's annual gala at the iconic Plaza Hotel. 2 New York Times World Crises Push IL.-Pal. Conflict Off U.N. Center Stage They took the stage, one after the other, two aging actors in a long-running drama that has begun to lose its audience. As the Israeli and Palestinian leaders recited their lines in the grand hall of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, many in the orchestra seats recognized the script. “Heinous crimes,” charged Mahmoud Abbas. “Historic catastrophe.” “Fanaticism,” countered Netanyahu. “Inhumanity.” Still, if the diplomats were not ready to embrace Israel, they were also focused elsewhere. It did not go unnoticed in Jerusalem that Mr. Obama devoted just one sentence to the Israeli-Palestinian issue in his final United Nations speech as president, compared with some years when the topic took up to a quarter of his address. See Also, “After Much Rancor, Obama and Netanyahu Meet, Probably for Last Time” (New York Times) Washington Post New Attacks against Israelis Show Pal. are Losing Hope A 13-year-old Palestinian girl approaches an Israeli checkpoint and is shot in the legs when she refuses to stop. A 16-year-old Palestinian boy tries to stab Israeli soldiers at a different checkpoint and is immediately shot and killed. A Jordanian holding a kitchen knife in each hand and shouting “Allah Akhbar attempts to stab Israeli police officers. He, too, was shot. These and other incidents over the past week show a sudden uptick in violence in Israel and the West Bank. Six Palestinians — who Israelis say carried out attacks or attempted to — have been killed, plus the Jordanian. At least six Israelis — civilians and security forces — have been injured. Palestinians say the attacks are a natural reaction to a situation of hopelessness fostered by the growth of Israeli settlements on land they want for a future state, a rightward shift in government policies and ineffective Palestinian leadership. “It is like an accumulation of water in a glass; each drop adds to the water, and eventually it spills over,” said Diana Buttu, a Palestinian analyst who was once involved in peace negotiations. “There is no progress. The Palestinian people are just fed up.” See also“At UN, Abbas Highlights the Palestinians' Despair While Calling for the World's Help” (Ha’aretz) Jerusalem Post Beduin Drama wins 'Israeli Oscar' in a Controversial Event Sand Storm, a drama about two strong Bedouin women, won the Best Picture Prize at the Ophir Awards, which were presented in a ceremony at the Performing Arts Center in Ashdod on September 22. Sand Storm is now Israel’s official choice for consideration for a nomination for the Best Foreign Language Oscar. This is the first time that a movie entirely in Arabic has won the Ophir Award for Best Picture. But the evening was marred by an ugly and unprecedented confrontation between the audience and Minister of Culture and Sport Miri Regev. It had its origins in a controversy over a performance by Palestinian rapper and actor Tamer Nafar, who said he would refuse to appear at the ceremony over a controversy concerning his decision to perform a musical rendition of a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, but he did perform the poem. Regev said, just before the Best Picture Prize was awarded, that she had left the auditorium during Nafar’s performance because she did not approve of the lyrics by Darwish and said that no other Israeli should either. She spoke strongly against the, the late Palestinian poet, and drew many boos and some walkouts and refused to leave the stage till she had finished, in one of the most acrimonious appearances by an Israeli government official in recent memory. 3 Ha’aretz– September 23, 2016 Netanyahu Does His Usual “Shtick” Before UN Audience With Zero Expectations Right wing Israelis are willing to turn a blind eye to Netanyahu’s declarations, as long as they see he’s winking himself. By Chemi Shalev Benjamin Netanyahu is lucky that his competition comes from such an underwhelming orator as Mahmoud Abbas. Besides the fact that the Palestinian president prefers to speak in Arabic in a decidedly, excuse the pun, subdued manner, Abbas always sounds as if he’s more concerned what the guys in Hamas and Islamic Jihad at home will say than how his speech will be received by diplomats and public opinion in Paris or New York. Conventional Israeli wisdom once held that Arab leaders tell their public one thing in Arabic and sound much more moderate when they speak to international audiences in English, but it seems to be the other way around. Palestinians don’t allow their leaders to tailor their words to please foreign ears nor are they willing to make allowances for the sake of hasbara, as most Israelis do. It’s highly doubtful, after all, if there are many Israelis who actually believe Netanyahu when he says he is full committed to a two-state solution. All but the most delusional of Israelis understand that someone who depicts evacuation of settlers as “ethnic cleansing,” who has no intention of giving the Palestinians an inch in Jerusalem, who insists that the Israeli army will remain responsible for security in every nook and cranny inside the so-called “Palestinian territories” doesn’t really mean “two states for two peoples” in any ordinary sense of the term. But for the sake of hasbara, for the show that Netanyahu puts on every year at the United Nations, for the hope that our winning arguments will melt hearts and break down walls, even right wing parties such as Habayit Hayehudi and its Tekuma faction are willing to turn a blind eye, as long as they can discern that Netanyahu himself is winking. This time Netanyahu invited Abbas to Jerusalem and himself to Ramallah, as he has in the past, and the novelty, such as it was, lay in his promotion of a regional framework for peace which the Palestinians can join or not, it’s up to them.

The modern nation-state is reaching out beyond its territorial boundaries, bringing in migrants in the diaspora and reorienting their gaze back towards India. It is part of a larger strategy built around dominating cyberspace and exercising power over minds instead of bodies. A critical discourse analysis of OFBJP.org shows the priorities of the organization. It is built around recreating the hierarchy of the BJP and playing on migrants’ emotional attachment to India to compel them to donate money and invest in the country in exchange for cultural capital. In doing so, it helps (re)produce a particular vision of India.

Michael Alvarez Caltech Thad E. Hall, Brian F. Roberts University of Utah Key words: overseas voting, military voting, military voter participation, ballot transit VTP WORKING PAPER #53 March 2007 During the 2000 presidential election controversy in Florida, the ballots submitted by individuals living overseas—especially military voters—were seen as crucial to the election outcome as the margin of potential victory was so small that these ballots could turn the election from one candidate to the other. Headlines at the time noted that “Odds Against Gore Absentee Gains: Republican-Leaning Counties Appear to Have More Uncounted Overseas Ballots,”1 “Bush Lead Swells with Overseas Votes,”2 “Military Ballot Review is Urged,”3 And “How Bush Took Florida: Mining the Overseas Absentee Vote.”4 For many Americans, however, the controversy surrounding the votes of military personnel and overseas voters, despite its importance, may have seemed both bewildering and esoteric. The debate centered on minute details; whether or not certain overseas absentee ballots were valid and could therefore be counted if they lacked postmarks, were received within given time periods, had missing signature or were deficient in other statutorily required characteristics, that are beyond the interest of the typical individual. However, several key legal skirmishes were fought within the broader context of the recount battle concerning whether certain absentee ballots could be counted, the resolution of which could have swayed the outcome of the 2000 presidential election.5 Issues of equal protection, 1 Keating, Dan and John Mintz.

  • America's Overseas Voters: 2016'S Forgotten Constituency?
    AMERICA’S OVERSEAS VOTERS: 2016’S FORGOTTEN CONSTITUENCY? Halbert Jones and Patrick Andelic Rothermere American Institute The 2016 U.S. presidential campaign has proven one of the most unpredictable in recent decades, largely due to the unpopularity of both major party candidates, historically high levels of undecided voters, and unusually high support for third party candidates. Though Democrat Hillary Clinton appears to have opened a clear lead over her Republican opponent Donald Trump since the first presidential debate in late September, analyst Nate Silver has noted that ‘the polls have been considerably more volatile this year than in 2012.’1 Indeed, while most observers now consider a Clinton victory to be highly probable, some polls indicate that the race remains tight, even after what have widely been seen as significant reverses for the Republican nominee’s campaign in the past few weeks.2 Moreover, recent unexpected outcomes in elections and referenda in different parts of the world have served as a reminder that the conventional wisdom about the likelihood of a particular result can be proven wrong when the votes are counted. In such a climate, neither party can take anything for granted. As the race enters its final weeks, and with control of not just the White House but also the Senate and the House of Representatives in contention, candidates and parties are scrambling to ensure that their supporters turn out to vote. At this critical juncture, one bloc that that may still be underestimated is also one of the largest: American voters living overseas. 1 Nate Silver, “Election Update: Where the Race Stands Heading Into the First Debate,” FiveThirtyEight, 25 September 2016, http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/election-update-where-the-race-stands-heading-into-the- first-debate/, accessed 4 October 2016.

    REPUBLICANS OVERSEAS September 1, 2020 HAND-DELIVERED Mark R. Meadows Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 RE: Executive Order Tax Regulatory Relief for Overseas Americans Dear Mark: At the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, representatives of Republicans Overseas discussed with you the plight of more than 9 million Americans living overseas who are being harmed by the consequences of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) implemented during the Obama-Biden Administration. This statute has caused immeasurable harm to loyal American citizens residing abroad, as you learned during the landmark hearings that you organized as Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Government Operations in April 2017. Today, overseas Americans are not only seeing their lives embittered by FATCA, but as an unintended result of the President’s Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, they find themselves subject to new taxes and an even more onerous set of compliance obligations. President Trump recently signed a series of Executive Orders designed to alleviate the burdens imposed by the payroll tax and other federal regulations administered by the Treasury Department and the IRS. Republicans Overseas applauds the President’s initiatives given the Democrats’ intransigence and political opportunism. We propose that the President sign Executive Orders to relieve the suffering of overseas Americans in a manner that is fully in line with your America First agenda and with the RNC 2016 Platform. The implementation in 2010 of FATCA has made it impossible for many overseas Americans to live a normal life.
