    Strategic Thinking in a Complex World Web: https://www.nimmonsconsulting.com Securing Israel – The Mossad Eur Ing Steve Nimmons FBCS CITP FIET CEng FRSA Nimmons Consulting, London, January 2018 Mossad is one of the world’s most famous, some may say feared intelligence agencies. As part of Israel’s intelligence community, it works alongside sister organisations such as Aman (military intelligence) and Shin Bet (Israel’s domestic security service). In the aftermath of the holocaust and World War II, the formation of the modern state of Israel in 1948 was met with immediate Arab resistance. In the War of Independence, the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq attacked the fledgling state. Israel, facing existential threat from inception had need of extensive military, security and intelligence capabilities. Protection of the homeland from volatile and hostile neighbours, hunting Nazi war criminals, protecting and gathering in the diaspora were immediate challenges. Mossad therefore had to establish itself quickly, form strategic alliances with other intelligence agencies and work to protect Israeli interests on the global stage. In so doing, it established a reputation for ingenuity, fearless commitment and ruthless execution of executive Page 1 of 19 Securing Israel – The Mossad Nimmons Consulting, London, January 2018 Eur Ing Steve Nimmons FBCS CITP FIET CEng FRSA Strategic Thinking in a Complex World Web: https://www.nimmonsconsulting.com actions.

  • Suárez & Sánchez / the Levantine Review Volume 2 Number 2
    Suárez & Sánchez / The Levantine Review Volume 2 Number 2 (Winter 2013) THE CURRENT SYRIAN POPULAR VIEW OF THE JEWS Alejandra Álvarez Suárez* Francisco del Río Sánchez** Abstract The remaining small Jewish communities of Syria run the risk of disappearing completely due to the marginalization suffered as a consequence of the political situation since 1948. The Eli Cohen affair (1965,) the Six-Day War (1967,) and the Yom Kippur War (1973) made the Baathist authorities of the country consider definitively the Syrian Jews as suspected Zionists or Zionist sympathizers. Nevertheless, in Syrian popular perceptions, the view of the Jews and Judaism did not always coincide with the ideology and propaganda emanating from the regime. In fact it is very interesting to note how good memories of times past, about an erstwhile coexistence with members of the Jewish community, still survive among many Syrians, both Muslims and Christians, belonging to the so-called “urban middle class.” This paper evaluates some examples, in the forms of anecdotes, popular sayings and proverbs, dealing with the Jews, and popularized in Syrian colloquialisms, in order to reveal some of the popular views of Judaism and Jews within Syrian society. The different religious communities of Syria (Arabic tawa'if) form a mosaic so heterogeneous and diverse that, in a predominantly Muslim context, this situation can easily pass unnoticed for the Western observer. This diversity tends to get confused in the middle of a cultural context common to all members of that society, which, with some exceptions, speak the same language and share common folk, culinary and artistic traditions.
