  • The Changing Forms of Incitement to Terror and Violence

    The Changing Forms of Incitement to Terror and Violence

    THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: TERROR AND TO THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT The most neglected yet critical component of international terror is the element of incitement. Incitement is the medium through which the ideology of terror actually materializes into the act of terror itself. But if indeed incitement is so obviously and clearly a central component of terrorism, the question remains: why does the international community in general, and international law in particular, not posit a crime of incitement to terror? Is there no clear dividing line between incitement to terror and the fundamental right to freedom of speech? With such questions in mind, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held an international conference on incitement. This volume presents the insights of the experts who took part, along with a Draft International Convention to Combat Incitement to Terror and Violence that is intended for presentation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

    Israeli Security Agency [logo] Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict September 2000 - September 2007 L_C089061 Table of Contents: Foreword...........................................................................................................................1 Suicide Terrorists - Personal Characteristics................................................................2 Suicide Terrorists Over 7 Years of Conflict - Geographical Data...............................3 Suicide Attacks since the Beginning of the Conflict.....................................................5 L_C089062 Israeli Security Agency [logo] Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict Foreword Since September 2000, the State of Israel has been in a violent and ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, in which the Palestinian side, including its various organizations, has carried out attacks against Israeli citizens and residents. During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.

    Score One for 'Hamaswood' | the Washington Institute

    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Score One for 'Hamaswood' Aug 11, 2009 Articles & Testimony amas, which recently created a production company and released its first major film production glorifying H the life of a master terrorist, has scored its first major public relations coup. In a new article on the website of Foreign Affairs, Michael Bröning (director of the East Jerusalem office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung) cites the group's recent downplaying of the relevance of its own charter as a telltale sign that Hamas is turning around or even "growing up." To be sure, the rhetoric of Hamas leaders has visibly changed in public statements. But in focusing on these statements alone, Bröning misses the real point: Hamas's words have changed, but their actions have not. Hamas cannot be judged on the basis of its choice of vocabulary alone. Neither the relevance of each and every part of the Hamas charter (which Hamas leaders have expressly refused to revoke or update) nor the public statements of its leaders deserve as much weight as what the group actually does in judging whether or not it has truly evolved. The approach of solely examining what the group says, rather than what the group does -- the approach upon which Bröning has relied -- dangerously disregards Hamas's actions on the ground. True, in recent interviews, Hamas leader Khaled Meshal has offered to cooperate with U.S. efforts to promote a peaceful resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, indicated a willingness to implement an immediate and reciprocal ceasefire with Israel, and stated that the militant group would accept and respect a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

    Inculcating Kindergarten Children with Radical Islamic Ideology and the Culture of Anti-Israel Terrorism

    June 6, 2007 Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center (IICC) Inculcating kindergarten children with radical Islamic ideology and the culture of anti-Israel terrorism The end of the year party for kindergarten children in the Gaza Strip (Al-Aqsa TV, May 31). The Islamic society operating the participating kindergartens is part of the Hamas movement’s social infrastructure and uses them to inculcate pre-school children with the movement’s ideology. Indoctrination at an end of the year kindergarten party 1. On May 31, 2007, Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV satellite channel broadcast the end of the year party held for the 29th class of kindergartens belonging to the Al- Mujamma’ al-Islami Islamic society, a part of Hamas’ social infrastructure (da’wah) in the Gaza Strip.1 The children, dressed in camouflage suits and wearing green headbands inscribed “There is no God but Allah,” put on a show. They carried plastic rifles and waved flags bearing the insignia of the Muslim Brotherhood (the movement which founded Hamas). 2. As part of the show, children, some of them masked, marched in a kind of military formation and demonstrated martial exercises such as summersaults, jumps, crawling as if under fire and sword-waving, while in the background a song of praise for Hamas was played. Some of the lyrics were “a Hamas [member] does not fear death,” “a Hamas [member operates] for the sake of [Islam],” “the name of Hamas is exalted,” and “Ahmad Yassin shook Israel from his [wheel] chair and his firm stance never faltered.” The end of the year kindergarten party (Al-Aqsa TV, May 31).

Since January 2013 these are all connected and managed by the European Inter­University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC) under the Global Campus of Regional Master’s Programmes (GC). E.MA is a one­year master’s course aimed at preparing professionals to respond to the requirements of daily work in international organi­ sations, field operations, governmental and non­governmental bodies, and academia. The programme offers an action and policy­oriented approach to learning about human rights, democratisation and inter­ national relations from legal, political, historical, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives. This interdisciplinary nature and wide­ranging scope of E.MA reflect the benefits of true European inter­university cooperation in human rights education. It is an inter­ disciplinary programme that reflects the indivisible links between human rights, democracy, peace and development.

    THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: TERROR AND TO THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT The most neglected yet critical component of international terror is the element of incitement. Incitement is the medium through which the ideology of terror actually materializes into the act of terror itself. But if indeed incitement is so obviously and clearly a central component of terrorism, the question remains: why does the international community in general, and international law in particular, not posit a crime of incitement to terror? Is there no clear dividing line between incitement to terror and the fundamental right to freedom of speech? With such questions in mind, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held an international conference on incitement. This volume presents the insights of the experts who took part, along with a Draft International Convention to Combat Incitement to Terror and Violence that is intended for presentation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
