I didn’t think so when I rst visited, but then through a range of meetings with an assortment of characters—mostly for the Telfed Magazine, and about whom you can read here and in previous editions—I discovered that, indeed, Raanana is not only the conventional, comfortable and safe Israeli city that everyone makes it out to be.

CHARNEY Today, Leon Charney is renowned as a lawyer, author, broadcaster, real estate mogul, political advisor and philanthropist – but the self- made billionaire’s rise to international prominence is truly a tale of a man living out the “American Dream.” With just $200 in the bank and an entrepreneurial spirit, Charney started his own law firm representing sports and show business personalities. That same spirit, combined with good judgment and creativity, led Charney to success in New York City’s highly competitive world of finance and investment. Ranked by “Forbes” as among the wealthiest Americans and named by “Bloomberg Business Week” as one of twenty billionaires who started with nothing, Charney is not your ordinary billionaire. Considered to be among the foremost authorities on Middle East affairs, Charney first entered the realm of politics as a Special Counsel to Sen.

  • Canada's Tax-Deductible Support for Israel's Crimes
    Canada’s Tax-Deductible Support for Israel’s Crimes By Yves Engler Region: Canada, Middle East & North Africa Global Research, August 25, 2014 Theme: Religion Electronic Intifada 22 August 2014 When is a Canadian who leaves this country to join a foreign military force and participate in the killing of innocent civilians, including children, called a “terror tourist” and sent to jail? The answer is: only when that person joins a military force the Conservative government disagrees with. Numerous ministers in the current federal government have loudly denounced the radicalization of Canadian youth in foreign wars. Last year, the Conservatives passed a law that sets a maximum fifteen year prison sentenceleaving for “or attempting to leaveCanada” to commit terrorism.Jason Kenney, the minister for multiculturalism, recentlysaid the government is trying “to monitor networks that recruit and radicalize youth.” Last month, Somali-Canadian Mohamed Hersi was sentenced to ten years in prison for attempting to join the al-Shabab militia in Somalia. Arrested at Toronto’s Pearson airport before leaving, Hersi was not found guilty of committing or plotting a specific act of violence, but according to the presiding judge, was “poised to become a terror tourist.” Yet our government does nothing to hundreds of other Canadians who join a different foreign military force which daily terrorizes millions of people and often uses explosives to kill thousands — most of whom are civilians. It’s unknown exactly how many Canadians are participating in Israel’s ongoing attackson Gaza but an Israeli military spokesperson hassaid there were 139 Canadians in the Israeli military in 2013.
