Robert Wexler, President ● Yoni Komorov, Editor ● Aaron Zucker, Associate Editor News Excerpts December 7, 2018 Ha’aretz IDF: We Found Another Hezbollah Tunnel Crossing Into Israel The Israeli military said Thursday afternoon that it has discovered another tunnel dug by the terror organization Hezbollah and has asked the United Nations to help efforts to destroy it. The commander of the Israeli army's Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick, asked the commander of United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Maj. Gen. Stefano Del Col, on Thursday to assist in neutralizing an attack tunnel being dug from Lebanon into Israeli territory. According to an Israeli army statement, Strick demanded UNIFIL reach the tunnel from the Lebanese side of the border, "and noted that whoever enters the underground perimeter endangers his life." The tunnel, which is being dug from the village of Ramyeh crossed into Israel, but does not pose an immediate threat to residents, the statement said.

See also, “UN force confirms presence of tunnel on Lebanon-Israel border” (Aljazeera) Times of Israel Resolution Condemning Hamas Fails at UN, Despite Vast Support The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday failed to pass a resolution condemning Hamas, serving a crushing defeat to Israel and its American ally after weeks of diplomacy. While the US-backed draft resolution got a comfortable majority of votes, it fell short of the two-thirds super-majority needed to pass. Eighty-seven countries voted in favor of the resolution, while 57 opposed it. Thirty-three countries abstained and another 23 were not present. “Today we achieved a plurality which would have been a majority if the vote had not been hijacked by a political move of procedure,” Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said.

The appointment of Nauert has been anticipated for weeks. Before joining the Trump administration in her inaugural role in public service, Nauert worked as a Fox News anchor, gaining Trump’s attention. She has since impressed the State Department for her professionalism and rapid education on a host of foreign policy matters. Nauert is expected to follow in the footsteps of Haley, who convinced Trump to elevate the UN ambassador position to a cabinet-level role. 2 I24 News US Blocks $500 Million Arms Deal Between Israel, Croatia: Report The United States is blocking an arms deal that would see 12 U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets being sold from Israel to Croatia, Axios reported on Thursday.The $500 million deal infuriated Washington which warned Jerusalem three weeks ago that the deal would be blocked because it had not been approved by the US before signed, Israeli officials told Axios.The officials also said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the issue with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier this week in Brussels. Pompeo reportedly said US Secretary of Defense James Mattis was the one blocking the deal. Washington accused Jerusalem of selling the F-16 fighter jets equipped with new and sophisticated Israeli made electronic systems, so as to give at an edge compared to US made fighter jets.

While the liberal Middle East advocacy group J Street has vehemently opposed the bill, which would make it illegal to boycott Israel, the Jewish Democratic Council of America, an advocacy wing for more mainline Jewish Democrats, is supporting its passage. The bill — called the Israel Anti-Boycott Act — would prohibit American companies from participating in Israel boycotts, including those promoted by international organizations like the United Nations. It was castigated by liberal advocacy groups and civil society groups almost immediately upon its release on First Amendment grounds. Ynet News Palestinians Plant 15 Million Trees to Seize Land The Palestinian Authority (PA) has planted millions of olive trees in the West Bank in a ploy to lay claim to land and set facts on the ground, according to an internal report by the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA). According to the report, which was written by the head of the Agriculture Department in the ICA and brought to light by the Zionist civil rights Lavi organization, the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture has implemented a plan to take over land by planting olive trees. "According to data collected by the Palestinian ministry, the space on which the trees were planted amounts to some 975,000 dunams (241,000 acres) on which 14.7 million olive trees have been planted, 11.9 million of which bear fruit," the report said. COGAT: Report based on Palestinian data, we haven't verified it. Ha’aretz Sara Netanyahu to Be Questioned on Suspicion of Fraud Today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara, is expected to be questioned under caution by the police on Friday on suspicion of fraudulently deceiving the state comptroller over the employment terms of the family's former media adviser Nir Hefetz. The case was investigated as an appendix to the Bezeq-Walla bribery case, following the testimony of state's witness and the Netanyahus' former spokesman Nir Hefetz. Attorney Dan Shimron, who was also involved in the case, is expected to testify to the police at the same time. The case started with the prime minister's request to the state comptroller, as Haaretz had reported, to arrange Hefetz's employment as the family's spokesman, after he had refused to be paid for his services. 3 Times of Israel – December 6, 2018 Annexation – At What Cost? By David A. Halperin, executive director of the Israel Policy Forum • Some bad ideas refuse to stay down. Last week Israeli Justice Minister and Jewish Home member Ayelet Shaked breathed new life into one such misguided proposal. Speaking to journalists in Jerusalem, Shaked put forth her recommendation for annexing Area C of the West Bank to Israel and siphoning off the rest of the territory in a confederation with Jordan and Gaza. She even made the bizarre suggestion that the Palestinians might accept such an arrangement sometime in the future, a comment that could only have been informed by detachment from reality or unapologetic dishonesty. • Shaked’s talking points are a reflection of the deceptively named “stability plan” marketed since 2012 by her party’s leader, Education and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett, which focuses on absorption of Area C by Israel. Of course, this would produce anything but stability. • Bennett’s proposal, which Shaked parroted, plays up the demography of the West Bank while ignoring geography. To wit, there is no such thing as “partial annexation,” despite what Jewish Home might say. While it is true, as pro-annexation pundits like to point out, that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians live in Areas A and B (now under Palestinian Authority administration), they fail to note that those sections of the West Bank constitute a disconnected archipelago of territorial enclaves. Merging Area C – 60 percent of West Bank land – with Israel would leave 169 foreign islands in a sea of Israeli territory, each one with its own border which Israel would have to secure. Without the PA, and as these boundaries prove difficult to secure, Areas A and B are liable to fall under effective Israeli control too. • The Palestinian Authority cannot survive Israel’s annexation of Area C, as this definitively closes the door on a future two-state solution. Perhaps that’s Bennett and Shaked’s intention. Whatever the case, they owe it to the Israeli public, as well as to Israel’s patrons in Washington, to come clean about the costs of the PA’s collapse that will follow Israeli annexation of the majority of the West Bank.

  • Israel (Includes West Bank and Gaza) 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL (INCLUDES WEST BANK AND GAZA) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.

    Humor Mekuvvan: Research Journal in Humor Studies Issue No. 9 – December 2017 Abstracts Following are abstracts in English to the articles of Humor Mekuvvan –Issue No. 9 (December 2017) >Please press here< for articles in full text of the Hebrew version. “Bialik Tapping on my shoulder”-Humor, irony and parody between H.N Bialik and Nahum Gutman Dr. Yael Doron Abstract In the following article I will examine the humorous aspect in the creative work of artist Nahum Gutman. I will refer to his personal and creative relationships with H. N. Bialik, with whom he was already acquainted from the home of his father, S. Ben Zion, in Odessa. Furthermore, I will demonstrate the importance of humor throughout Guttman’s creative career, as a bridge between generations, continents and ideologies. To this end, I will utilize terminology coined by Mikhail Bakhtin, a philosopher, literary critic and scholar, who viewed irony, parody, and “refractive writing” as expressions of writing containing meaningful dialogue and controversy. Furthermore, I will present the evolution and change of humor in Gutman’s work, beginning with his childhood until his later development as an artist in Europe. This development continued with the artistic cooperation between Gutman and Bialik in the 1830s in Palestine, and later while becoming a writer after the death of “the father’s generation”, and during his later adulthood. This I will demonstrate and explain using texts, paintings and illustrations. Keywords: Bialik, Gutman, Dialogue, Irony, Parody Dr. Yael Doron, artist, teacher, and researcher Humor among Elderly Arab Women Dr. Janan Farah Faleh Abstract This article examines the importance of humor in the lives of the elderly Arab women, who have lived all their lives in Acre, had maintained the responsibility for the household or had a temporary unstable work, and they all share a membership in Acre Elderly Day Care Center.
