In response to an earlier post on the
blog (see here), we have received
requests for information on Jewish
records in Croatia.
For your convenience, we are
reproducing the article entitled “

Finding Jewish Family Records in
Croatia
By Ed Zwieback
Searching for records in Croatia has
been limited by the lack of activity
for this area. There are Croatian
genealogy websites that can be found
via feefhs.org and cgi.rootsweb.com.
The Mormon Family History Library
(FHL) began microfilming records in
Zagreb in March 1985. They have
acquired over 2,500 microfilms in
Croatia, including Jewish records for
15 towns. These films are listed in a
recent issue of Avotaynu(Summer
1999, Vol. XV, no. 2, page 5), as well
as in the Family History Library
Catalog(FHLC).
A good article on “ Croatian
Research at the Family History
Library” by Thomas K. Edlund can
be found on the Feefhs.org web site.
An updated and expanded version of
this article, entitled “A Beginner’s
Guide to Croatian Research”, by

Croatia has a Central State Archive,
located in the capital, Zagreb. The
Hrvatski Državni Arhiv(National
Archives of Croatia) is the main
depository of old church records for
many parts of the country.
Any birth and death records older
than 1860 (some up to the 1880’s)
were turned over to the 12 Croatian
Regional (historical) Archives
(DRŽAVNI ARHIV …). The record-
ending dates may vary from one
regional archive to the next. The
Regional Archives are located at:
Varaždin, Zagreb, Bjelovar, Pazin,
Rijeka, Karlovac, Zadar, Split,
Dubrovnik, Sisak, Slavonski Brod,
and Osijek.
In 1945, all birth, marriage, and
death records held by churches in
Croatia were turned over to the civil
authorities and were deposited with
the City Register Offices (‘opc’ina’;
MATCNI URED …). These include
Jewish records. There are 400
municipalities within 21 counties
(županija) in Croatia. Since Zagreb is
large, there would be many such
offices located within the city.
Addresses of the City Register
Offices for post-1900 records are
difficult to locate from the Internet.
Croatian records have greater
linguistic diversity than for most
other geographic regions. Croatian,
Slovene, Serbian, German,
Hungarian, Latin or Italian are
possible languages used.
I obtained very good results when I
sent an inquiry letter (in English) to
even inside Israel, whom you like to
call self hating Jews; have started to
see the big lies of Zionists including
yours. I wonder how many truly of
those around. If you really want to be
fair and honest about it, which I
doubt, go back and read history with
a fair and nonbiased mind.
I did some Googling, and found on
LinkedIn a Saadi Rahim who works
for the UNRWA — as an officer in
charge of transportation and logistics
in Jordan.
What unstated big lies of the Zionists
(and HonestReporting) is Mr. Saadi
Rahim referring to? These?
• UNRWA: Perpetuating the Misery
• UNRWA Knew Camp Was
Infiltrated, Did Nothing
• UNRWA’s Hamas Employees
the Regional Archive of Varazdin,
asking for vital records. The Varazdin
archivist has provided copies of
several marriage, death, and census
records for my family (1879-1930s).
The Varazdin archivist also searched
the City Book of Inhabitants, 1930s,
and a Record of Conscription of Jews
sent to concentration camps, 1941. I
have used the FHL film No. 1791974,
“Zagreb Jewish Births and Deaths
1858-1904, and the film is very easy
to read.
The Jewish Community of Zagreb
may be able to help with family
records. They have furnished me
some very useful information.

How To Find A Rabbi For Your Interfaith
Wedding | about rabbi
by paraisrael (Hija del Zion
para Israel - Daughter of Zion

Submitted at 7/26/2010 9:20:13 AM
by Otto Yamamoto
How To Find A Rabbi For Your
Interfaith Wedding
Finding a Rabbi– Study after study
shows that at least 50% of American
Jews are marrying non-Jews.
Thankfully, this has caused the liberal
wings of Judaism – the Reform and
Reconstructionist movements, and to
some extent the Conservative
movement – to become much more
inclusive towards interfaith couples
and families. Some rabbis now
routinely and openly emphasize the
importance of welcoming interfaith
families. In fact, anecdotal evidence
shows that many Reform and
Reconstructionist synagogues are
actually dismantling programs geared
specifically towards interfaith couples
and families, because such families
are so well integrated into
congregations that they no longer
want or ask for programs especially
for them. Most telling perhaps is the
fact that members of the lay
synagogue leadership frequently are
intermarried themselves. There does
remain one major issue, even in the
more liberal movements, regarding
which most congregations and rabbis
remain fairly traditional, and that is
officiating at an interfaith wedding.
Halacha, or Jewish Law, bans
interfaith marriage, and does not
recognize such marriages as valid.
Therefore, all Orthodox and
Conservative rabbis who recognize
the binding authority of Halacha
refrain from officiating at interfaith
weddings. Even though their
movements do not always recognize
the binding authority of Halacha,
most Reform and Reconstructionist
rabbis tend to defer to it on this issue.
Some Reform and Reconstructionist
rabbis will officiate at interfaith
weddings, but in agreeing to do so,
they may attach various conditions to
their willingness to officiate.
For example, they may agree to
marry an interfaith couple, but they
will not officiate on the Sabbath.
They may refuse to co-officiate with
non-Jewish clergy, or require the
couple to agree to raise their children
within the Jewish faith. The rabbis
may also ask the couple to join their
congregation, participate in courses
on Judaism and/or attend pre-marital
counseling sessions. Almost all rabbis
who will officiate at interfaith
weddings will not officiate in a
church, or allow any mention of Jesus
in the ceremony. For some couples,
these conditions present no problems,
but other couples may be less ready
to agree to them, and for the latter
group, it can be very difficult to find
a rabbi who will marry them.
Still, there are a small number of
rabbis out there who will officiate for
you. Some are bona fide rabbis. But
there are also individuals in the
market place who call themselves
rabbis and who officiate at interfaith
weddings, even though they have not
undergone any type of serious
training, and indeed have very little
knowledge. They have obtained
credentials from unaccredited
institutions, and usually spend very
little time studying much of anything.
Just as you would not want your
attorney, doctor, plumber or
mechanic to be someone who has
earned his or her credentials on the
fly, it is probably not a good idea to
have an officiating rabbi who did! It
is not hard to distinguish between the
bona fide rabbis and those who are
not. If a person’s rabbinic ordination
was obtained after a rigorous course
of study lasting at least five years, his
or her ordination is most likely
acceptable. If a person’s “ordination”
followed something less rigorous –
there are actual cases of people
becoming “ordained” after studying
for just a few weeks, or taking some
type of take home test – buyer
beware.
Finding the Rabbi– Once you find a
rabbi, you want to make sure that that
rabbi is the rabbi for you. You don’t
just want a rabbi who is willing to
officiate; you want the right rabbi, the
one who will officiate a ceremony
that will leave you and your families
with pleasant and wonderful lasting
memories. Compromising on quality
is just not an option. So what should
you look for to make sure you have
found the right person?
The most important thing is to make
sure that you find a rabbi who is truly
interested in you as a couple, and
makes it clear in word and action that
the wedding is about you and the
celebration of your love for each
other. He or she should take time to
get to know you, as individuals and as
a couple. After all, how can a
wedding ceremony be personalized to
who you are, if your rabbi does not
take the time to get to know you as
persons? He or she should be
someone who is warm, friendly, truly
passionate about people; someone
with a good sense of humor who does
not take him or herself too seriously.
This will help him or her create, with
you, a ceremony that has that sought-
after blend of seriousness and
lightheartedness, something that
sometimes eludes officiants.
The ideal rabbi is the one who will
build the ceremony around you, not
try to fit or “shoehorn” you into a
preconceived notion of a ceremony
that he or she already has. The right
rabbi is someone whom you won’t
hesitate to tell what you want, and
with whom you feel comfortable
sharing what you don’t want. He or
she should be there for you
throughout the process of preparation
and obviously the wedding itself, and
should be just an email or a phone
call away. One rabbi personally
commits to couples that he will return
emails or phone calls within 24 hours
(unless he is officiating outside the
country), since he understands that
planning a wedding can be sometimes
stressful, and that prompt replies can
help alleviate some of the stress.
Creating the Ceremony of Your
Dreams with Your Rabbi– The rabbi
should have a plan for the preparation
and creation of your ceremony, and
should be able to lay it out clearly for
you. You want to feel confident that
the rabbi will stay on top of things. At
the same time, he or she needs to be
flexible enough to adjust that plan to
your needs and your schedule, while
keeping the ball rolling, all the same.
Ideally, this plan should consist of
three or four meetings, where you and
your rabbi carefully develop your
ceremony. The first meeting should
focus, first and foremost, on getting
to know each other. It should be at
that time that the rabbi lays out that
clear plan for the development of the
ceremony. That first meeting should
involve many open-ended questions,
general and specific, about what you
want to see in your ceremony. It is a
good sign if you answer many of
these questions with, “Wow, that is a
good question; we need to think about
that,” because that means that you
will think about it! It is really helpful
if the rabbi can supply you with a
summary of the meeting that
highlights those items you wanted to
think about. The rabbi should also
suggest a book or two that can help
you learn more about interfaith
ceremonies, to assist you in
developing your ceremony together
with your rabbi.
During the meetings that follow, as
you work together with the rabbi,
with his or her guidance, things
should gradually gel and fall into
place. In the final meeting you should
be able to together review the entire
ceremony, with a written copy, based
on your discussions, in front of you.
(One rabbi tries to email a draft to
couples a few weeks before the final
meeting, so they can actually begin
this discussion by email in advance of
the final meeting.) You should feel
comfortable to make any changes,
additions or deletions that you feel
are needed. The rabbi should also
discuss technical details and pointers,
so there are no surprises, and your
ceremony goes smoothly and
seamlessly.
If you choose to have a co-officiant,
you will of course want to meet with
him or her as well. The rabbi should
also make sure that the co-officiant is
part and parcel of the ceremony
planning process. (Some co-officiants
have never co-officiated with a rabbi
before.) You may even want to have
one meeting with both co-officiants
together.
The Day of Your Dreams, and How
Your Rabbi Can Help Make It
Magical– First of all, an important
technical note – it should be obvious
to your rabbi that he or she should
arrive about 45-60 minutes before the
ceremony. This enables him or her to
make sure that everything is in order.
Hopefully, there are no last minute
surprises, but if there are, this will
give the rabbi sufficient time to deal
with these.
It is difficult to describe exactly what
the day of your dreams will look like,
since, especially if your rabbi
followed the above steps, your day
will look different from every other
bride and groom’s day. That said,
there a number of general
characteristics that ideally every
ceremony will include. It is important
that no one be “in the dark,” and so
the rabbi should organically
incorporate explanations of the rituals
and customs into the ceremony. That
way everyone will feel comfortable.
Blessings in Hebrew, especially when
chanted (and then translated into
English), add a unique flavor and
rhythm to the ceremony. There
should be, as was mentioned above,
just the right mix of seriousness and
lightheartedness. There should be
tears of joy, and also hearty laughter.
Since your rabbi spent time with you
and got to know you, he or she will
be able to share some personal and
meaningful remarks with you and
your family and friends. Obviously,
almost every ceremony will include
the fundamental customs associated
with a wedding ceremony – readings
of your choice, vows, rings and the
breaking of the glass.
One rabbi has a number of specific
components that he loves to include,
though he always reminds couples
that what matters is what they like,
not what he likes, as it their wedding,
HOW page 3

continued from page 2
not his. He loves chanting the
traditional Seven Wedding Blessings
for the bride and the groom in
Hebrew, interspersed with seven
English blessings of the couple’s
choice, that speak to who they are as
a couple. The English blessings may
be recited by him, his co-officiant, if
he has one, or by a family friend or
friends. One of the warmest moments
in almost every ceremony he
officiates is the Priestly Blessing,
“May the Lord bless you and keep
you; may the Lord shine his
countenance upon you and be
gracious unto you; may the Lord look
upon you with favor and grant you
peace.” Sometimes, he will wrap the
couple in my prayer shawl, and chant
the ancient blessings in a soulful tune,
just as he imagines his great ancestor,
the mythical Aaron, the brother of
Moses, did, as the legendary first
High Priest.
Of course many people’s favorite
ritual is the breaking of the glass. Let
me elaborate on how one rabbi does
with that ritual. He almost always
begin the last part of the ceremony by
mentioning that when people hear
that he does weddings, they usually
say to him “You (or sometimes y’all)
break a glass, right?” Many times it is
the only thing they know about a
Jewish wedding. You would think,
therefore, that we would know the
reason why we break a glass. As is
typical of many of the rituals of the
Jewish people, there are about fifteen
or twenty reasons for this ritual,
which really means that none are true.
He then says that following
“extensive Talmudic research,” he
has found the real reason – the groom
breaks the glass to symbolize that this
is the last time the husband will be
able to put his foot down! This
always elicits a hearty laugh. He then
Malmo synagogue attacked

Submitted at 7/26/2010 7:19:00 AM
Malmo synagogue attacked An
explosion of firecrackers outside the
Jewish synagogue in Malmo, Sweden
during the night between last
Thursday and Friday broke several
windows in the synagogue. While the
Jewish community in Malmo – which
has been harassed for some time – is
treating the incident as an attack or
attempted attack on the synagogue,
while the Swedish police are taking it
less seriously (Hat Tip: Jihad Watch).
While the local police claim that
there was no particular threat against
the synagogue prior to the explosion,
readers of this blog can easily argue
that there is a general threat to the
Malmö Jewish community. This is
perhaps also why the local police
decided to classify the explosion
outside Malmö Synagogue as
usually follows this comment with a
serious explanation, one that speaks
to the couple and their hopes and
dreams.
The most wonderful explanation for
the breaking of the glass, and one that
most couples end up choosing, is that
at an interfaith wedding the shattering
of the glass symbolizes the breaking
down of barriers between peoples of
different cultures and different faiths.
We look to the bride and the groom,
and hope that the day will come when
everyone in the whole world will
learn from them, and love each other,
regardless of faith and culture. It is
especially important to end this way,
as couples hear from enough people
that there is something wrong with
what they are doing. Therefore, it is
very fitting to end their ceremony
with a reminder to them, and to
everyone, that it is actually the
opposite – we should all be learning
from them and their example.

educational and religious leadership
positions in the Jewish community on
“vandalism” while the chairman of
the Jewish community in Malmö
states that the Jewish community sees
the explosion as a “attack or an
attempted attack” on the synagogue.
As reported by the local newspaper
Skånskan, since the beginning of the
year there has been an increased
threat against Jewish families in
Malmö. The feelings of insecurity
and lack of personal safety are today
so strong that some Jewish families
have chosen to leave the city, or even
to leave Sweden. Following the
public outcry by the Jewish
community in Malmö and the
formation of a group to foster
communication among various
ethnic groups in the city, Chairman of
the Jewish Community Fred Kahn
had reported that hopes were that the
situation now looked a little brighter.
Until now…

Bulla Ki Jaana Maen Kaun The
Frozen Rabbi
And what happens when Bernie
Karp, the impressionable fifteen-year-
old son of the couple in whose home
the rabbi lies frozen, inadvertently
thaws out the ancient man? Such are
the questions raised in this wickedly
funny and ingenious novel by author
Steve Stern, who, according to the
Washington Post Book World,
belongs in the company of such
writers as Stanley Elkin, Cynthia
Ozick, Michael Chabon, Mark
Helprin, and Philip Roth, all of them
“innovative and restless practitioners
of contemporary American-Jewish
fantasy.”When the rabbi comes fully
and mischievously to life, Bernie
finds himself on an unexpected
odyssey to understand his heritage
(Jewish), his role in life (nebbish
hero), and his destiny (to ensure the
rabbi-s future). and the reader enters
the lives of the people who struggled
to transport the holy man-s block of
ice, surviving pogroms, a transatlantic
around the synagogue although it is
evident that the Jewish Community
remains in a state of constant threat.
How long the small Jewish
community can persist under threat in
Malmö while being forced to bear
the cost of intensive security
protection, and without the freedom
to openly identify as Jews, is
anybody’s guess. Despite Mayor

Lebanese "flotilla" might sail this week
by Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zion
para Israel - Daughter of Zion
for Israel)
Submitted at 7/26/2010 8:15:00 AM
Israel’s Intelligence and Terrorism
Information Center has a brief paper
that analyzes the latest on the
Lebanese women’s and reporters’
ships that were supposed to have
sailed a month ago. They agree with
my reporting that Hezbollah is behind
the ships and that the purpose of these
ships may be to provoke a deadly
Israeli response: 1. Yasser Qashlaq,
chairman of the Free Palestine
Movement and organizer of the
Lebanese flotilla to the Gaza Strip,
said the ships would leave within a
few days. Qashlaq asked Lebanese
politicians not to make difficulties,
but rather to cooperate so the flotilla
might succeed (DayPress news
website, July 20, 2010). His previous
declarations about its sailing were not
realized, but nevertheless it is
possible that this time the ships will
set sail, despite a large number of
international objections. 2. The
current situation of the flotilla is as
follows: A. The ship called Maryam
reached Tripoli and is currently
participating in the routine processes
required by law before a ship set sail.
Rima Farah, ship spokesperson, said
that contacts had been made with a
number of countries to acquire
authorization for the ship to be
received at their harbors, because it
cannot sail directly from Lebanon to

PalPress reports that a new computer
training center was opened in
Ramallah.
It was named after Mamdouh Sabri
Saydam, “ one of the most prominent
leaders of the Palestinian
revolution…who gave his soul the
redemption of the homeland” on the
the port of Gaza. Samar al-Hajj,
coordinator for the organizing
committee, is the director of the
ship’s logistic activities. Note: The
ship will carry only women
passengers (Al-Diyar website, July
21, 2010). B. The ship called Nagi al-
Ali(formerly Julia) is ready to set sail,
and according to the organizers all
that remains to be done is to load the
cargo. Most of the passengers will
apparently be correspondents. C. The
organizers may have another ship, but
they are not divulging any
information about it. 3. Yasser
Qashlaq said he did not rule out the
possibility that Israel would try to halt
the flotilla because “there is no limit
to the crimes of the entity of the
occupation.” He also said that there
would be peace activists aboard the
ships and that the cargos would
include humanitarian equipment, and
that any attempt to stop them would
be “a terrorist action” (DayPress
news website, July 20, 2010). 4. In
our assessment, the ships were
purchased and the flotilla organized
with the involvement and support of
Syria and Hezbollah, although both
do not want to expose their roles and
use organizations like the Free
Palestine Movement as fronts for
their activities. 5. Qashlaq revealed
his position in an interview with
Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV on June
19, 2010. He said that “the day will
come when the ships [which arrive at
the Gaza Strip] will take the
remainder of the European garbage
39th anniversary of his “martyrdom.”
Who was Saydam?
Mamduh Sabri Saydam [Abu Sabri]:
Former Fatah field commander.
Refugee from ‘Aqr (al-Majdal) to
Gaza; taught in Algeria and trained in
its army in 1964. Recruited through
Wazir, and moved to join Fatah field
command in Damascus (1965).
Member of first Fatah-CC, heading
Fatah forces in Jordan in 1970. Died
in Jul 71 of cancer.
I wonder if Jordan is happy that
which came to my country[i.e., Israel]
back to their homelands, Gilad Shalit
will return to Paris and they [the
leaders of Israel will return to Poland.
Let the murderers go home. After
they return we will pursue them
everywhere all over the world and try
them in court for the slaughters they
have carried out from Dir Yassin to
this day.” 6. Considering the stated
positions of Qashlaq and some of
those involved in the flotilla, and
especially their close ties with Syria
and Hezbollah, he apparently wants a
violent confrontation between the
passengers and the Israeli Air Force
and Navy with a lot of media
coverage. His intention is to defame
Israel, even if his agenda is not
necessarily that of the other
passengers aboard the ships. 7. More
proof that this flotilla, like that of the
Mavi Marmara, is meant mainly to
create a media circus and incite anti-
Israeli propaganda, and not to bring
humanitarian assistance to the Gaza
Strip was made public by an Al-
Jazeera TV investigative report. 8.
The Al-Jazeera TV’s Gaza Strip
correspondent, revealed that the
Gazans responsible for the ministry
of health of the de facto Hamas
administration were resentful because
70% of the medicines which arrived
in the Gaza Strip from the aid
convoys from various countries,
especially Arab countries, could not
be used. They were either unfit for
use or their expiry dates had passed
by months and sometimes years.
Palestinian Arabs are naming
institutions after people who tried to
topple its government.

Israel closes River Jordan site of Christ’s
baptism over pollution fears
by Harriet Sherwood (Hija del
Zion para Israel - Daughter of
Zion for Israel)
Submitted at 7/26/2010 6:59:59 AM
Water to be tested after samples
reveal high levels of raw sewage,
according to health ministry and
environmental groups
Christian pilgrims should be banned
from entering the River Jordan at the
site where Jesus is believed to have
been baptised because of dangerous
levels of pollutants, Israel’s ministry
of health has said.
The site was closed to the public
today to allow the river’s water to be
tested following preliminary results
from samples taken recently which
showed high levels of raw sewage
and agricultural chemicals.
But the demand to close or limit
access to the site is controversial
because of an uncompleted $2m
(£1.3m) refurbishment project aimed
at attracting more pilgrims to what is
the third most important Christian site
in the Holy Land, after the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s
Old City and the Church of the
Nativity in Bethlehem.
Around 100,000 people visit the site
at Qasar al-Yahud, near Jericho, each
year to be baptised in what they
regard as holy water or to take away
samples for baptisms at home.
Access to the site is only permitted
with consent from the civil
administration, the Israeli body set up
by military decree to govern most of
A Literary Treasure Trove
by Rachel (Hija del Zion para
Israel - Daughter of Zion for
Israel)
Submitted at 7/26/2010 8:18:25 AM
Try not to freak out, but we might
have some previously unreleased
Kafka on our hands very soon. If
you’re not excited, I’m guessing that
you’ve never read any Kafka. I
forgive you, but just take my word for
it: this is a big deal.
Photo Credit: AP Photo
After his death in 1924, Franz
Kafka’s personal papers and
documents were left to his friend and
fellow writer, Max Brod. When Brod
died in 1968, ten safety deposit boxes
full of papers (some his, some
Kafka’s) were left to his secretary and
friend, Esther Hoffe. The disputed
ownership of these documents is
what’s kept them hidden from the
public for so long. Hoffe’s daughters
seem to have legal ownership, but if
the papers are deemed to be “literary
treasures” by the judge who is
currently examining them, then they
could be released into the public
the West Bank. The baptism site
straddles the border with Jordan,
which runs through the middle of the
river, and the Israeli side is within a
closed military zone.
Signs posted at the gated entrance to
the site warn of pollution as well as
land mines. Visitors are accompanied
with an armed escort along a road
bordered by barbed wire through a
desert landscape to the river.
Red and white tape was today
barring access to the water, although
visitors on the Jordanian side, a few
metres across the river, were free to
immerse themselves.
“We invested a lot of money in this
site – it is going to be open, clean and
convenient for all pilgrims,” said Rafi
Ben-hur of the tourism ministry. “I
don’t know with what authority the
site was closed. I was very upset at
this initiative.
“We will do everything to keep the
site open. We believe it’s safe to be
baptised in this water.”
The pollution of the river is largely a
result of raw sewage coming from
Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian
sources, plus agricultural run-off –
largely pesticides and fertilisers – and
hormone-enriched effluent from fish
farms, according to Friends of the
Earth Middle East (FoEME).
“It’s a very unholy mix,” said
FoEME’s Israel director, Gidon
Bromberg. “In the short term, the site
should close to baptisms – the water
is a risk to public health.”
In the longer term, Bromberg said,
domain.
Even if the judge rules in favor of the
Hoffe family, chances are good that
the papers will soon be published in
some form. Some speculate that the
boxes contain unpublished
manuscripts by Kafka, considered
one of the greatest writers of the 20 th
century, while others hope that
personal documents will shed light on
his mysterious life.
You can read more in Haaretz, the
Israeli newspaper that filed the
lawsuit to make these documents
public. The New York Times also has
an article on the subject, where they
suggest that an unpublished short
story was found in the first box.

the river’s water needs to be
rehabilitated. Currently 98% of the
water is diverted by Israel, Syria and
Jordan, mainly for agricultural use,
which means the pollutants are highly
concentrated.
FoEME is concerned that Israel’s
fear of losing tourists and pilgrims to
the Jordanian side of the site could
lead to pressure to keep the site open
despite the risks. “If the ministry of
health caves in, we will take them to
court,” said Bromberg.
A health ministry statement said:
“This is a complicated issue which
requires discussions at the highest
levels. Until a final decision is made,
there will be no change in the
directives of the ministry.”
At the near-deserted site today,
Torhild Tollefsen, 36, from Stavanger
in Norway, persuaded officials to
allow entry to her and her fiancé to
collect some of the green stagnant
water to baptise their as yet-
unconceived children.
“It’s much smaller than I imagined,”
she said. “We came to see the place
where Jesus was baptised. It’s a
special place, but the colour of the
river is a bit strange.
“It’s sad. This is a sacred place for
me and for Christians all over the
world. It’s important that the river is
healthy.”
The refurbishment of the site
includes landscaping the area down to
the river with stone and decking,
wheelchair access and shaded areas to

Smart Jews: Israelis won’t go back

Smart Jews: Israelis won’t go back to
Turkey despite lifting of warning
Despite the cancellation of a warning
against Israelis traveling to Turkey,
Israel’s Jewish population continues
to shun the country – as it did since
Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s
tantrum in Davos.
Turkey is known for offering low
prices and package deals which are
seemingly perfect for Israelis who
wish to go on vacation without a long
air flight and save some money. But
despite this fact, the report brought
several possible reasons for the
decline in the number of Israelis
vacationing in Turkey. Among the
reasons cited were a sense of hostility
towards Israelis on part of the Turks,
both by civilians as well as by the
Turkish government. Another
possible reason for Israelis to avoid
Turkey is the proliferaton of
damaging incidents such as the
hacking of Israeli websites by
Turkish hackers and the theft of

Palestinian official hints at accepting

A Palestinian official on Sunday
hinted at accepting U.S. demands to
start direct peace talks with Israel.
“We don’t rule out any possibility or

Executive Committee of Palestine

The cancellation of the travel
warning has already prompted tourist
agents in Israeli to go to Turkey, but
the report in Globes said that the 2-3
weekly flights to Antalya are only test
flights. Israeli tourism agents, added
the report, have admitted off the
record that the destination will be
“dead for the coming months”. The
only factor that can cause this to
change would be a change in
Turkey’s attitude toward Israel.
That major change in Turkey’s
attitude still seems far away, as
relations between the two sides are
still tense. Turkey continues to insist
on an Israeli apology over the lethal

Leicestershire: Increase in report
abuse against Muslims
Via BBC:
Muslims in Leicestershire are facing
increasing abuse, according to figures
from the police.
Between April 2008 and March
2009, officers recorded 25 offences
against Muslims but in the following
12 months, the figure rose to 42.
Most incidents involved verbal abuse
but there was a small number of cases
in which veils were pulled off.
Police said they treated all types of
hate crime as a priority and urged
victims to report any problems.
This article was prepared by the
Islam in Europe blog –
islamineurope.blogspot.com
(…)
Rehana Sidat, from Leicester, who
wears the niqab, said: “I think there
are two things going on. There is
more Islamophobia, people are
becoming more intolerant.
“But also more people are reporting
this sort of thing, having more
confidence to bring it to the police.”

Palestine Today reports that a new

overdue electric bills from the tens of
thousands of PA employees in Gaza.
The plan, announced today, involves
garnishing up to 25% of Gaza
employees monthly wages.
As we have mentioned before,
Gaza’s power plant suffers from a
shortage of fuel – but not because of
any Israeli policy that limits fuel
distribution, but rather because they
aren’t paying for it.
This new policy will attempt to make
a dent in the huge debt that the
electric company is under – some 5.2
