  • Our Stories Are Incomplete Without Each Other
    Our stories are incomplete without each other Ukrainian Jewish Encounter The Ukrainian Jewish Encounter (UJE) is a privately organized, multinational initiative launched in 2008 as a collaborative project involving Ukrainians of Jewish and Christian heritages and others, in Ukraine, Israel, and the diasporas. Its work engages scholars, civic leaders, artists, governments, and the broader public in an effort to strengthen mutual comprehension and solidarity between Ukrainians and Jews. Ukrainian Jewish Encounter Our Story Chornobyl For centuries, the territory of modern-day Ukraine was a meeting ground of diverse and flourishing cultures, and the home of one of the oldest and most populous Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. That community, consisting predominantly of Ashkenazi Jews, lived alongside the indigenous Ukrainian population through long periods of normal coexistence and multifaceted cultural cross- fertilization. But at times, relations were Kropyvnytskyi Dnipro strained by violence and antipathy generated in the complex environment of successive dominating empires and states. Both peoples also experienced migrations and the dynamics of diaspora, often in the same lands of resettlement. Chișinău Following a shared and long-standing experience of powerlessness, statelessness and great suffering under oppressive totalitarian regimes in the 20th century, both peoples are today forming modern identities in and in relation to the independent states of Israel and Ukraine. The Ukrainian Jewish Encounter is an initiative founded on the belief that these two peoples have much to gain by better appreciating their joint and each other’s historical experience in all its complexity. 3 Mission To deepen understanding of the breadth, complexity, and diversity of Ukrainian-Jewish relations over the centuries, with a view to the future.

Fine; people do what they need to do. Some take comfort in the fact that several of Trump’s cabinet choices are not as scary as he is, but what is anyone to make of the fact that the better choices flat out disagree with the Presi- dent’s own high-profile policy pronouncements? Some take comfort in assuming the strength of American’s institutions, legal and otherwise, in preventing an unfit man from running the ship of state aground. Others just pray in very general terms. But here’s the problem for at least a few of us: If you know how cognitive disso- nance works, then you become self-conscious of the much-historically-rehearsed pro- cess of delusional fear abatement—and then it no longer works. That’s my problem: too much post-grad psych and history reading.

  • 180117 Trump Organization
    MEMORANDUM TO: Representative Jackie Speier House of Representatives California, 14th District FROM: Tom Adams and Dennis Aftergut DATE: January 9, 2018 Update January 16, 2018 RE: The Trump Organization – A Racketeering Enterprise? 1 Introduction and Summary Investments by Donald Trump and the Trump Organization reveal patterns highly sug- gestive of criminal conduct, particularly of money laundering. Multiple publicly available sources report that Trump regularly had investment partners who were criminals and had con- sistent links to money laundering entities. Quite often Trump’s nominal business failed com- mercially, suggesting that a concealed, illicit business was the real point of the undertaking. In- vestments in hotels in Toronto, SoHo, Baku, Azerbaijan, and Panama appear to be the culmina- tion of a strategy based on these patterns. But beyond these hallmarks of criminality, Trump’s enterprises bear in common anoth- er, striking characteristic: Russians play a predominant role. Some of these Russians had links to Vladimir Putin. Trump’s involvement with Russians goes back decades. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating whether unlawful acts were com- mitted during the course of the 2016 Presidential election in connection with Russian interfer- ence. The fact that Russians also consistently appear in Trump’s investments raises significant questions. Most importantly, are these seemingly disparate economic and political threads actually part of a single cloth? The President has said that if the Special Counsel's investigation moves into his personal finances, it will cross a “red line.” Is that because Trump fears what will be discovered? Was criminal conduct in his private investments linked to events that occurred in the election? The Special Counsel has many tools at his disposal to uncover facts currently concealed.

  • The Curious World of Donald Trump's Private Russian Connections
    Russia & The West The Curious World of Donald Trump’s Private Russian Connections James S. Henry Did the American people really know they were putting such a “well-connected” guy in the White House? Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign he expressed glowing admiration for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Many of Trump’s adoring comments were utterly gratuitous. After his Electoral College victory, Trump continued praising the former head of the KGB while dismissing the findings of all 17 American national security agencies that Putin directed Russian government interference to help Trump in the 2016 American presidential election. As veteran investigative economist and journalist Jim Henry shows below, a robust public record helps explain the fealty of Trump and his family to this murderous autocrat and the network of Russian oligarchs. Putin and his billionaire friends have plundered the wealth of their own people. They have also run numerous schemes to defraud governments and investors in the United States and Europe. From public records, using his renowned analytical skills, Henry shows what the mainstream news media in the United States have failed to report in any meaningful way: For three decades Donald Trump has profited from his connections to the Russian oligarchs, whose own fortunes depend on their continued fealty to Putin.We don’t know the full relationship between Donald Trump, the Trump family and their enterprises with the network of world-class criminals known as the Russian oligarchs. Henry acknowledges that his article poses more questions than answers, establishes more connections than full explanations. But what Henry does show should prompt every American to rise up in defense of their country to demand a thorough, out-in-the-open congressional investigation with no holds barred.

    NCSEJ WEEKLY NEWS BRIEF Washington, D.C. August 8, 2016 UN warns of escalating tension in eastern Ukraine as casualties hit highest since last August UN, August 3, 2016 http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=54615#.V6OZyOTzM6E Civilian causalities in eastern Ukraine spiked in June and July, prompting the United Nations human rights chief to call on the parties to the conflict to make protection of civilians a priority and take urgent steps to de- escalate the increasingly tense situation at the contact line. “The escalation of hostilities and the accompanying civilian casualties in eastern Ukraine over the last two months are very worrying,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said today in a news release. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) documented 69 civilian casualties in June, including 12 dead and 57 injured, and 73 civilian casualties in July, including eight dead and 65 injured, the highest figures since August 2015. The average of 71 for these two months was more than double the monthly average of 34 from September 2015 through May 2016. “The many casualties we have documented in recent weeks suggest that neither Ukrainian forces nor the armed groups are taking the necessary precautions to protect civilians,” Mr. Zeid said, urging all sides to respect the ceasefire provisions, to remove combatants and weapons from civilian areas, and to scrupulously implement the provisions of the Minsk agreements. More than half of all the casualties recorded in the past two months were caused by shelling.
