    People Ambssador of South Africa to Israel Middle East Digest Three years without Abu-Ammar Diplomatic Events editor The Diplomatic Club Magazine December 2007 Dear Friends, 2007 was an eventful year, during which the Middle-East –and the rest of the world. This year is now approaching its end. Despite the rapid end of the purely military phase of the Palestinian Conflict, the conflict is still raging, claiming too many lives. In Israel, the signing of the Roadmap has not yet generated the hoped for peace. We wish the Middle-East an active 2008 year focused on peace and development, where hatred dissolves and harmony blooms. To our readers, as always we would like to offer our best wishes for 2008: may your health be obvious (and need no discussion) may your family relations be warm may your friends be loyal may your enemies become your friends (and those who don’t, get lost) may your spam be filtered may your Emails be answered may your papers get published may your wisdom deserve the approval of Confucius, and your folly the praise of Erasmus may your power get shared, your wealth be free from greed and your poverty from envy may we communicate fruitfully across cultures so that our horizons widen and reason replaces violence The Diplomatic Club Magazine requests the pleasure to publish opinions, discussions and articles written by Ambassadors. We are looking forward to develop this idea. As the 2007 is now over, it is time to go back to work about new services for coming 2008 year.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Statement on the Death of Former
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Statement on the Death of Former President Shimon Peres of Israel September 27, 2016 There are few people who we share this world with who change the course of human history, not just through their role in human events, but because they expand our moral imagination and force us to expect more of ourselves. My friend Shimon was one of those people. Shimon Peres once said that, "I learned that public service is a privilege that must be based on moral foundations." Tonight Michelle and I join people across Israel, the United States, and around the world in honoring the extraordinary life of our dear friend Shimon Peres, a founding father of the State of Israel and a statesman whose commitment to Israel's security and pursuit of peace was rooted in his own unshakeable moral foundation and unflagging optimism. I will always be grateful that I was able to call Shimon my friend. I first visited him in Jerusalem when I was a Senator, and when I asked for his advice, he told me that while people often say that the future belongs to the young, it's the present that really belongs to the young. "Leave the future to me," he said, "I have time." And he was right. Whether it was during our conversations in the Oval Office, walking together through Yad Vashem, or when I presented him with America's highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom, Shimon always looked to the future. He was guided by a vision of the human dignity and progress that he knew people of good will could advance together.

  • The Labor Party and the Peace Camp
    The Labor Party and the Peace Camp By Uzi Baram In contemporary Israeli public discourse, the preoccupation with ideology has died down markedly, to the point that even releasing a political platform as part of elections campaigns has become superfluous. Politicians from across the political spectrum are focused on distinguishing themselves from other contenders by labeling themselves and their rivals as right, left and center, while floating around in the air are slogans such as “political left,” social left,” “soft right,” “new right,” and “mainstream right.” Yet what do “left” and “right” mean in Israel, and to what extent do these slogans as well as the political division in today’s Israel correlate with the political traditions of the various parties? Is the Labor Party the obvious and natural heir of The Workers Party of the Land of Israel (Mapai)? Did the historical Mapai under the stewardship of Ben Gurion view itself as a left-wing party? Did Menachem Begin’s Herut Party see itself as a right-wing party? The Zionist Left and the Soviet Union As far-fetched as it may seem in the eyes of today’s onlooker, during the first years after the establishment of the state, the position vis-à-vis the Soviet Union was the litmus test of the left camp, which was then called “the workers’ camp.” This camp viewed the centrist liberal “General Zionists” party, which was identified with European liberal and middle-class beliefs in private property and capitalism, as its chief ideological rival (and with which the heads of major cities such as Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan were affiliated)­.

  • Yitzhak Rabin
    YITZHAK RABIN: CHRONICLE OF AN ASSASSINATION FORETOLD Last year, architect-turned-filmmaker Amos Gitaï directed Rabin, the Last EN Day, an investigation into the assassination, on November 4, 1995, of the / Israeli Prime Minister, after a demonstration for peace and against violence in Tel-Aviv. The assassination cast a cold and brutal light on a dark and terrifying world—a world that made murder possible, as it suddenly became apparent to a traumatised public. For the Cour d’honneur of the Palais des papes, using the memories of Leah Rabin, the Prime Minister’s widow, as a springboard, Amos GitaI has created a “fable” devoid of formality and carried by an exceptional cast. Seven voices brought together to create a recitative, “halfway between lament and lullaby,” to travel back through History and explore the incredible violence with which the nationalist forces fought the peace project, tearing Israel apart. Seven voices caught “like in an echo chamber,” between image-documents and excerpts from classic and contemporary literature— that bank of memory that has always informed the filmmaker’s understanding of the world. For us, who let the events of this historic story travel through our minds, reality appears as a juxtaposition of fragments carved into our collective memory. AMOS GITAI In 1973, when the Yom Kippur War breaks out, Amos Gitai is an architecture student. The helicopter that carries him and his unit of emergency medics is shot down by a missile, an episode he will allude to years later in Kippur (2000). After the war, he starts directing short films for the Israeli public television, which has now gone out of business.

    YITZHAK RABIN 1922–1995 Short Biography YITZHAK RABIN • 1922–1995 Short Biography Braha Eshel Yitzhak Rabin Center Academic Adviser: Prof. Motti Golani .2 CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY Yitzhak Rabin was born in Jerusalem on March 1st, 1922, the firstborn child of Rosa Cohen and Nehemiah Rabin (Rubichov). Rosa Cohen arrived to Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) in 1919 aboard the Roslan, together with newcomers representing the Third Wave of Aliyah, or “ascent” to the Homeland, as Jews refer to migration to their ancestral home. Rosa immediately joined the pioneers at Kibbutz Kin- neret. Nehemiah arrived from the United States as a Jewish Legion soldier. He was a member of the Haganah Council, and joined in defense of the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem when it was attacked in 1920. Rosa was among the volunteers, as well; they married in 1921 and moved to Haifa. Rosa worked as a bookkeeper, but devoted herself primarily to protect- ing workers’ rights as part of the Histadrut. She also worked with the Haganah, the paramilitary wing of the Jewish Settlement in Palestine, during the British Mandatory period; in fact, she was in command of the city’s defense. Nehemiah worked for the Electric Corporation in Naha- rayim from the time it was founded. It was while visiting family in Jerusalem that Rosa gave birth to her son, whom they named Yitzhak. In 1923, the family moved to Tel Aviv and it is there that Yitzhak Rabin spent his childhood. His sister Rachel was born in 1925. Rosa carried on with her professional work, as well as her Rosa Cohen and her children, activities in the Haganah, the Histadrut, the Tel Aviv municipality, and Yitzhak and Rachel, 1927 the city’s education system.
