Obama Outlines Lessons That Are Particular And Universal


The president uses an opportunity to condemn Holocaust denial and to make the case for the State of Israels legitimacy
Ron Kampeas

ASHINGTON One by one, the e-mails from the White House arrived in inboxes across Washington on Monday morning, each highlighting a unique initiative toward a different corner of the globe: Syria. Iran. Uganda. The unifying factor was the presidents appearance that day at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, and together the seemingly disparate issues underscored a message carefully calibrated by top White House officials: The Holocaust was uniquely a crime against the Jews, and its lessons for today are realized both in protecting Israel and preventing atrocities from being inflicted on any other people. Obama threaded the themes together in his Monday morning speech at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum following a tour guided by Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust memoirist and Nobel laureate. The president segued from the uniqueness of the Holocaust to the threats facing Jews and Israel today. When efforts are made to equate Zionism to racism, we reject them, Obama said. When international fora single out Israel with unfair resolutions, we vote against them. When attempts are made to delegitimize the State of Israel, we oppose them. When faced with a regime that threatens global security and denies the Holocaust and threatens to destroy Israel, the United States will do everything in our power to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Obama then transitioned to the threats facing others. Never again is a challenge to societies, he said. Were joined today by communities whove made it your mission to prevent mass atrocities in our time. The two-part message protecting Israel, preventing atrocities was reflected in the makeup of the audience, a mix of leaders of Jewish groups and groups that have advocated for other populations under threat, including Bosnians and the Sudanese. Obamas nod to the Holocausts uniqueness and how its trauma shaped his sensitivities to other peoples facing atrocities is not new. But in tying the threats facing Israel to the Holocaust, he seemed to be trying to address a perception among some Israeli and Jewish communal leaders that he does not get how Israel figures into post-Holocaust Jewish thinking. Wiesel, introducing Obama, gave voice to Jewish concerns about Irans potentially genocidal intentions toward Israel. How is it that the Holocausts No. 1 denier, Ahmadinejad, is still a president? Wiesel asked. He who threatens to use nuclear weapons to use nuclear weapons to destroy the Jewish State. We must know that when evil has power, it is almost too late. While Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly expressed the desire to see Israel excised from the region, he has not explicitly threatened to use nuclear weapons against the Jewish State. Nevertheless, Israeli leaders have cited the rhetoric of Iranian leaders as evidence that the Islamic Republic cannot be allowed nuclear weapons. Wiesel later made explicit the connection between Israels posture and the Holocaust. Now I hope you understand in this place why Israel is so important, he said. Not only to the Jew that I am but to the world. Israel cannot not remember, and because it remembers it must be strong just to defend its own survival and its own destiny. Obama made it clear that he heard Wiesels concerns. As we walked through this exhibit, Elie and I were talking as we looked at the unhappy record of the State Department and so many officials here in the United States during those years, he said. And he asked, What would you do? Obama recalled telling an American woman he met while touring Israels Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, in 2008 when he was a candidate I would always be there for Israel. Repeating that message seemed aimed at assuaging worries expressed by Israeli leaders that Israel stands alone in perceiving the potential of genocide in Irans belligerence.

very Holocaust Remembrance Day I try to write something from my familys history as an illustration of wider themes. The material below, events that happened almost 70 years ago to the day, is from my manuscript, Children of Dolhinov.
n t i n U e D o n P a G e 1 0

People who dismiss the Iranian threat as a whim or an exaggeration have learned nothing from the Holocaust, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his own Holocaust remembrance message last week. To cower from speaking the uncomfortable truth that today like then, there are those who want to destroy millions of Jewish people that is to belittle the Holocaust, that is to offend its victims and that is to ignore the lessons. Daniel Mariaschin, the executive vice president of Bnai Brith International, said that Obama citing the threats facing Jews was a welcome development. This is the first speech that connected the dots on the current threats together with Holocaust remembrance, he said. You had delegitimization [of Israel], you had the Iran issue. Abraham Foxman, the national director of the AntiDefamation League and a Holocaust survivor, said Obamas speech was important for underscoring how Never again emerged from a Jewish tragedy. He also said Obamas speech would help push back against accusations that Israeli leaders like Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres are overplaying the connection between the Iranian threat and the Holocaust. The message of Never again, Foxman said, is connected to Israel, and it is connected to Iran, not just by Elie but by the president. Obamas thinking about the Holocaust has been picked apart by the Jewish community since before his election as president. On the one hand, Jewish leaders welcomed the sensibilities of a candidate who cited the postwar experience of a great-uncle helping to liberate a Buchenwald subcamp. He returned from his service in a state of shock saying little and isolating himself for months on end from family and friends, alone with the painful memories that would not leave his head, Obama said during a presidential visit to Buchenwald in July 2009, also with Wiesel in attendance.

On the other hand, a speech in Cairo by the president delivered the day before his visit to Buchenwald raised some Jewish hackles. In that speech, addressing the Moslem world, Obama said that Americas bond with Israel was based on cultural and historical ties, as well as the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied. While the president used the opportunity to condemn Holocaust denial and to make the case for Israels legitimacy noting that threats to destroy the Jewish State evoked for Israelis memories of the Holocaust some in the Jewish community were deeply troubled by the implications of his choice of words. David Harris, the American Jewish Committees executive director, said at the time that it was unfortunate that Obama implied that the Holocaust was the primary reason for Israels creation rather than the Jewish State being the result of historic ties to the Land. Obamas U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum appearance gave him an opportunity to more clearly articulate his views on the Holocaust. In his speech there, the president said one message of the Holocaust is that the capacity to inflict harm is embedded in everyone, as is the capacity to do good. That thinking was reflected in one of the directives he issued Monday recognizing Jan Karski with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for the Polish resistance fighters work providing some of the first eyewitness accounts of the Nazis mass murder of Jews. We must tell our children about how this evil was allowed to happen because so many people succumbed to their darkest instincts, because so many others stood silent, Obama said. But let us also tell our children about the Righteous Among the Nations. Obamas thinking on genocide prevention has been informed by the work of his adviser Samantha Power, a top National Security Council official who has noted the Wests failure to do more to protect the Jews and other victims of genocide in making the case for intervention to stop modern-day atrocities. Power, an architect of the Obama administrations diplomatic and military strategies in helping to topple dictators in the Ivory Coast and Libya, and in aiding the creation this year of South Sudan, was named Monday by Obama to lead an Atrocities Prevention Board. The board, Obama said, would oversee efforts in a number of departments to isolate and confront perpetrators of atrocities. Were going to institutionalize the focus on this issue, he said. Across government, alert channels will ensure that information about unfolding crises and dissenting opinions quickly reach decision makers, including me. The White House was eager to convey the impression that the boards agenda already was informing administration policy. Executive orders were issued Monday banning the sale of information technology to Syria and Iran that could be used to stifle dissent in those countries. Obama also renewed the mandate of U.S. military advisers counseling Uganda on the pursuit of the Lords Resistance Army, a rampaging militia led by Joseph Kony that kidnaps children and rapes and murders civilians. The president, however, has come under fire by those who say he has not made good on campaign pledges to defend human rights. The Republican Jewish Coalition in a statement after the speech faulted Obama for not doing enough to bolster Iranian democracy activists in 2009. Conservatives and congressional Republicans say Obama has shown a lack of resolve in failing to provide opponents of the Syrian regime with military support. In his speech, Obama defended what he said were his successes but said the U.S. has to pick and choose its battles. Preventing atrocities, he said, does not mean we intervene militarily every time there is an injustice in the world. o

arab IDF Soldier: I Wanted To Defend The country

ERUSALEM For most soldiers, there is a period on their first weekend home from basic training when they strut around the neighborhood showing off their spotless dress greens, bursting with pride at the newfound maturity conferred by their uniform. Thats something that one soldier, who can only be identified as S., will never get to experience. As an Arab living in east Jerusalem, S. does not even bring his uniform home with him. His neighbors do not know that he serves in the army, and S. needs to keep it that way. On Thursday, Israels Independence Day, S. was honored along with 120 other soldiers with a citation of excellence from Israeli President Shimon Peres, to honor S.s dedication in overcoming insurmountable challenges to enlist. I wanted to serve, I wanted to defend the country, said S., who cannot be identified in order to protect his safety. I wanted to serve in order to do something good, and something good with my life. S. said he drifted after finishing high school, taking some university classes and working in different hotels in Jerusalem. Frustrated by the lack of opportunity in his community, S. turned to the army with hopes of becoming a career officer.

Violence erupts in eastern Jerusalem

Many Bedouin and Druze have served for years in the army, something that is supported and even encouraged in their communities. Israeli Arabs can also serve in the army if they choose, though there are very few that opt to do so. Even among the small minority of Israeli-Arab soldiers, S. sticks out. He said that, as far as he knows, he is the only east Jerusalem Arab serving in the army. Because the tense city is a flashpoint

for violent confrontations between the security forces and Arab residents, there is even more animosity toward the army in east Jerusalem than among Israeli Arabs from the North. S. has received anonymous death threats via SMS, and he says he is not sure who could be sending them. One of six children, S.s immediate family and one uncle are the only people who know that he is an Israeli soldier. Last week, two of his brothers followed in his footsteps and were also drafted into the army, something S. said brought him great pride. The taciturn S. is uncomfortable talking about himself and a little bewildered by all the attention surrounding his citation of excellence. They told me about it a month ago, its an honor to get to meet the president, he said modestly. For most soldiers, the most difficult parts of being in the military are the frustrations and difficulties they face while on base. Heading home is a chance to relax and blow off steam. For S., the opposite is true. Each trip home is wrought with anxiety that someone might discover that he is a soldier. S. said his cover story is that he is study-

ing during the week in Tel Aviv, and he even carries around a few textbooks to back up his claims. S. serves in a Bedouin unit and has been certified as an army medic. His brothers will also serve in Bedouin units. At first, it was hard being the only east Jerusalem Arab in a unit of only Bedouin, S. said. But as training progressed, his unit became more cohesive and he felt more connected to his fellow soldiers. The unit gives us everything, a lot of support, because there are a lot of people that come from difficult conditions, he said. S. does not anticipate a change in attitudes in his community toward the military anytime soon, and is doubtful that his choice to join the army will become more common in his impoverished neighborhood. Still, S. does not regret his decision to enlist. S. hopes to continue his studies, possibly through the armys higher education programs, and one day become a doctor. Before that, however, he is excited to serve as a role model for his brothers and help them through the difficulties of being a soldier in secret. The hardest part about this is where Jerusalem Post I live.

The club no One Wants To belong To


I just hope and pray that the dreaded club I joined 10 years ago will soon be closed to new members
Pnina Weiss rowing up, I was always part of one club or another. Computer club, chess club, student council and other various organizations made me feel connected and one of the gang. More than the activities of the club itself, it was the friendships I made and the camaraderie of the group which kept me active. But then, almost 10 years ago, I entered a club I never, ever wanted to be a part of, or imagined I would ever join. It was the club of the Bereaved Brothers and Sisters. From the moment we got the dreaded knock on the door, informing my family that my younger brother Ari, a sergeant in the Palchan brigades anti-terror unit, had been killed in battle, I suddenly found that I belonged to a whole new crowd, one from which I can never escape. Our members are spread far and wide, and they come from every sector of society: rich and poor, Sephardi and Ashkenazi, immigrant and Sabra. Generally, they go unnoticed, blending into the general populace. But other members of the club can spot them. They are the ones standing off to the side, shedding a tear at a friends wedding, hoping no one will notice them as they think of their sibling who will never marry or bring children into the world. They are the ones choking up while lighting Sabbath candles, recalling the good times when the entire family sat around the Sabbath table. They are the ones who stop in their tracks and stare at the yahrtzeit candles while shopping at the supermarket. I made aliyah with my family when I was just 14. I had never been to Israel before and certainly did not take well to the adjustment. I was even featured in a newspaper article shortly after I arrived here Against Their Will describing the hardships I encountered and the animosity I felt toward my parents for dragging me here. I resented my new country, and dreaded the task of acclimating to my new life in Israel. Even after I finished my National Service, I applied to college in the U.S., thinking that perhaps my life would be better if I just went back to the old country. But, for whatever reason, I decided to stay in Israel, and I grew to love this country. I mean, where else

do the buses say Shana Tova around the holidays? Where else does an entire nation stand at attention to memorialize the fallen? Eventually, I understood that this wasnt just the proverbial, generic Land of the Jews; this had now become my Land. I sensed a deeper meaning to life in this place as I saw history being written right in front of my eyes. My priorities in life changed, and I no longer measured success by the amount of money one makes, but rather by our contribution towards making this world a better place than we found it. I discovered that here I was not just a solitary person, as important as that may be, but was now one part of a significant whole. And then Ari, my beloved brother, fell. To be honest, I was somewhat tainted by having lost a brother. I mean, how could G-d do this to my parents, who after so many years had finally fulfilled their Zionist dream of moving to Israel? Why did my eight-year-old sister now have to remain inside the synagogue saying Yizkor while all of her friends

were outside, playing with the other kids? I didnt know the answer to all these questions I still dont but this event, and all that flowed from it, has deeply cemented me to this country. Many people have questioned why I choose to remain here, after something so terrible and tragic has happened, but I guarantee you that none of those who ask live here. As sad as it may be, this is part of life in Israel. This is part of the sacrifice we make to live free in our own country, and sacrifice has been the way of the Jews since the beginning of our history. People living in Israel get this, since here we are one family and we all feel the pain. Please dont get me wrong; the Jews of the Diaspora are wonderful, and they have given me and my family tremendous support over the past decade. But when it comes down to it, the people I really want holding my hand are the ones sitting right next to me. They are the ones whose families rush into bomb shelters in the middle of the night, and they are the ones who listen to somber music on Yom Hazikaron to remind them of those who are no longer with us. Between us, we communicate through an unspoken language. We just look at each other, and we know what the other is thinking and feeling. Every Israeli has a compelling story well worth listening to. Not all of them have perfectly happy endings, but, when you put them all together, they add up to what makes Israel the amazing nation that it is. Life isnt always meant to be easy, and more often than not the hardships you go through make you appreciate what is really important and what must never be taken for granted. Although I still get teary-eyed when I see soldiers step off the bus on Fridays before the Sabbath, and still find it difficult to make that switch from Remembrance Day to Independence Day, I cannot imagine my home being anywhere else but here. I just hope and pray that the dreaded club I joined 10 years ago will soon be closed to new members.

To This Day Theres no One Like Him In Israel


Ben Hartman ERUSALEM For Arnon Nachmani, it feels like only yesterday that he held his commander Col. Uzi Yairi as his life faded away on the concrete outside Tel Avivs Savoy Hotel, which PLO terrorists had seized the night before. Yairi, a storied former commander of Sayeret Matkal (the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) and the Paratroop Brigade, was on leave from the army when PLO terrorists from Lebanon landed in pontoon boats on the Tel Aviv beach near the beginning of Allenby Street on March 4, 1975. The gunmen made their way inland to Geula Street, where they found the Savoy Hotel with its lights on at 11 p.m. and quickly took control of it, threatening to kill hostages unless 20 Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli jails. When Yairi, then 39, heard of the hostage situation, he found a way to get in on the Sayeret Matkal raid the next morn-

Former soldier remembers ex-Sayeret Matkal commander Col. Uzi Yairi

ing, and was killed along with eight hostages and two fellow soldiers. Now 57 years old, Nachmani visited Yairis grave at the Kiryat Shaul Military Cemetery in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, alone as always, holding a bouquet of flowers and reading a letter he had written to his former commander. As a 22-year-old paratrooper, Nachmani had been part of a back-up contingent of troops supporting the Sayeret Matkal soldiers, and along with two fellow paratroopers he carried Yairis body out of the hotel and onto the sidewalk, where he tried in vain to revive him. Youll probably laugh at me, but I like to come here and talk to him. Its quiet here and I can tell him about the things going on in my life. I tell him that hes missed here, and that theres still no one like him in Israel to this day. In his letter, he told Yairi, who loved

flowers, about the community garden he had joined in Tel Aviv in part, he said, so that he could grow the flowers that he brings to the grave three-to-four times a year. He spoke of his former commander with a measure of adulation and love that, if anything, only seemed to have grown over the years. He said Yairi, who had become head of Sayeret Matkal at age 31 and a full colonel at only 35, had been a star who would easily have become the chief of staff someday if hed lived, in spite of the trauma he had suffered during the Yom Kippur War that drove him to take leave from the army. He also described how, instead of punishing errant soldiers with weekends on base, he would force them to volunteer at the Tel Hashomer Oncology Ward, which he said had been a jarring experience for the young paratroopers. Putting out a cigarette before leaving,

Nachmani pulled out the letter hed written and read the last few lines: My commander, smell these flowers Ive brought for you. I salute you always. Like a few other mourners and loved ones, Nachmani made his way to the military cemetery a day before the main Remembrance Day ceremony on Wednesday, which typically hosts the defense minister or the chief of staff and has an attendance in the thousands, with traffic jams fanning out in all directions into north Tel Aviv. Tuesday afternoon at Kiryat Shaul enabled those who could get off work to take advantage of the stillness and greater privacy the day afforded. Here and there a few scattered mourners, most of them elderly retirees, kept a vigil next to their loved ones, as soldiers from the Home Front Command affixed flags and memorial candles to headstones one by one, and a group of Israeli Arabs set up the stage for the official ceremoJerusalem Post ny on Wednesday.

BRIEFS
Israelis celebrated their countrys 64th anniversary with fireworks and military processions at a national ceremony in Jerusalem. The festivities came immediately after Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of militant attacks, an annual ritual of twinning grief with elation and pointing out the link between the two. Government statistics showed that Israels population grew by 137,500 since last year to 7,881,000. The Central Bureau of Statistics said 75 percent of the population is Jewish and 21 percent is Arab. The remaining four percent represents tiny minorities or immigrants who are not Jewish. Traditional Inthe first country to recognize Israel, Obama touted the special relationship between the two countries. Ours is a unique relationship founded on an unbreakable commitment to Israels security, and anchored by our common interests and deeply held values, Obama said in a statement. Clinton released a message saying that for many around the world, Israel remains a beacon of hope and an inspiring example. Clinton added that Israel and the U.S. are united by a deep and unbreakable bond based on mutual interests and respect. Our relationship grows stronger every day as we work to promote regional security, create new economic partnerships, increase twoway trade and broaden our energy cooperation. We are steadfast in our commitment to Israels security, which is a cornerstone of our foreign policy in the Middle East. Turkey blocked the participation of Israel in next months NATO Summit in Chicago, a Turkish newspaper reported. Turkeys Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vetoed Israels participation during a NATO foreign ministers meeting last week in Brussels, Hurriyet reported. There will be no Israeli presence at the NATO meeting unless they issue a formal apology and pay compensation for the Turkish citizens their commandos killed in international waters, a senior Turkish official told Hurriyet, referring to the deaths of nine Turkish activists during an Israeli naval commando raid on the Turkish ship the Mavi Marmara as it attempted to break Israelis naval blockade of the Gaza Strip in May 2010. Those countries who wish to see normalization in ties between Turkey and Israel should advise Israel to apologize and to compensate the killing of Turks in international waters, the official told the news service. Israel, along with Egypt, Mauritania, Algeria and Morocco, is a member of the Mediterranean Dialogue, a NATO outreach program. A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that a man can sue for enduring antiSemitic slurs from former employers despite not being Jewish. Myron Cowher, a former truck driver for Carson & Roberts Site Constructions & Engineering Inc., sued the company and former supervisors after allegedly enduring antiSemitic comments for more than a year. His suit alleges discrimination that resulted in a hostile work environment. The Appellate Division of New Jersey Superior Court reversed a Superior Court judge in a 3-to0 decision. The appeals court stated that the proper ques-

dependence Day celebrations include family cookouts in national parks. Some military bases open for visits, and Israeli cities host concerts in honor of the holiday. Some 160,000 babies were born in the country since last Independence Day, the census revealed. In addition, some 19,000 new immigrants arrived in Israel this past year, while 8,000 Israelis chose to leave the country. 39,000 people passed away this past year. Egypt canceled its natural gas agreement with Israel, reportedly abrogating the original Egypt-Israel peace treaty of 1979. The 2005 deal between the governments of Israel and Egypt promised that Cairo would allocate seven billion cubic meters of natural gas to Israel for 20 years, with an option to double the amount. The 1979 peace treaty had required Egypt to supply Israel with oil; it was later amended to natural gas. Egypts pipeline in the Sinai supplying natural gas to Israel was attacked earlier this month for the 14th time since uprisings began in February 2011 against deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The attacks lead to a scramble to find alternate fuel sources to produce electricity that are more expensive. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton reiterated the strong U.S.-Israel relationship in messages for its 64th Independence Day. Noting that the U.S. was

ALTIMORE An attorney for one of two brothers charged in a neighborhood watch beating case in Baltimore that drew comparisons with the Trayvon Martin shooting told a judge Wednesday hell show the Maryland case is about self-defense, not vigilantism. Brothers Eliyahu and Avi Werdesheim, who are Jewish and white, are accused in the beating of a black teen while patrolling for an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood watch group on November 19, 2010. Their bench trial opened Wednesday on charges of second-degree assault, false imprisonment and carrying a deadly weapon [the hand-held radio]. The pair face up to 13 years in prison if convicted on all three counts. The Werdesheim brothers opted Tuesday for a bench trial after their lawyer said publicity surrounding the Martin case would have made it impossible to find an impartial jury. Their attorney said he believed a judge could conduct a fair trial. The judge had earlier denied a motion to throw out photos used to identify one of two brothers. An attorney for Eliyahu Werdesheim had argued Tuesday that the photo of his client was so different from others presented as to suggest which one the teen should choose. The judge heard from detectives and the teenager, who said he picked the photo because it was true, before denying the motion. In the Florida case, authorities charged neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman this month with second-degree murder in Martins death February 26. Zimmerman claims self-defense, but Martins family claims he targeted the unarmed teen mainly because the teen was black. Zimmermans father is white and his mother Hispanic. Eliyahu Werdesheim had earlier told the Baltimore Jewish Times that he was acting in selfdefense because the teen was holding the piece of wood. The teen picked up the board during the

encounter, but put it back down, said J. Wyndal Gordon, an attorney for the teens family. He said the family did not want to speak publicly. Using a photo book compiled by investigators, the teen later identified Eliyahu Werdesheim, now 24, as one of the men who assaulted him. He was arrested after about 10 days; his now 21-year-old brother was charged two months later. In testimony in Baltimore, the teen spoke very quietly through tears Wednesday and could not be heard much of the time. He said he was walking to a bus stop, but never made it there because of his encounter with two men who pulled up in a car. In the afternoon, the teen shut down on the stand and refused to answer the prosecutors questions. He told Judge Pamela White he did not want to testify and, after explaining that he didnt have a choice, the judge excused the teen. The Baltimore victim, then 15, lived in the neighborhood with his grandmother. He was headed to meet his mother for a doctors appointment, when the two men in the car stared the abused children. Because all of the requested defendant names relate to chasidic men who are alleged to have committed sex crimes against chasidic victims within a very tightknit and insular Brooklyn community, there is a significant danger that the disclosure of the defendants names would lead members of that community to discern the identities of the victims, Dennehy wrote in the letter, citing the states civil rights laws. A new annotated edition of Mein Kampf is being prepared for German high-school students. The ministers of science and finance in the German state of Bavaria met recently to discuss ongoing work on an annotated edition of Adolf Hitlers 1924 manifesto, whose copyright held by the Bavarian Finance Ministry is to run out in 2015. Up to now, the ministry has barred publication in Germany in order to limit the spread of Hitlers ideology. In 2010, however, the ministry granted permission to the Munich-based Institute for Contemporary History to reprint the work in 2015 in

tion is what effect the derogatory comments would have on a reasonable Jew, not on Cowher, who is of German-Irish and Lutheran background. Cowher, of Dingmans Ferry, Pa., said he was the subject of antiSemitic banter from January 2007 until May 2008, when he left the company for unrelated reasons. His supervisors admitted to directing antiSemitic slurs at Cowher but insisted it was part of a locker-room type exchange in which Cowher willingly participated. A special Israeli government committee legalized three West Bank outposts and will seek a delay in the evacuation of a neighborhood in a Jewish settlement there. In legalizing the outposts of Bruchin, Sansana and Rechalim, the outposts panel said in a statement that These communities were founded in the 1990s based on the decisions of past governments. Also, the committee charged the State Prosecutors Office with asking the Supreme Court to postpone the May 1 evacuation of the Ulpana neighborhood in Beit El, a settlement that is

built on privately owned Palestinian land. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to find a solution to the neighborhood that would not involve destroying the 30 homes there. Defense Minister Ehud Barak has said the neighborhood should be razed and rebuilt elsewhere. Observers say Netanyahus ruling government coalition could break apart if the neighborhood is destroyed. The Cabinet authorized the committee to reach a final decision on the recognition of settlements and outposts built on State land or through State aid. Citing unique circumstances, the Brooklyn district attorneys office will not release the names of 85 chasidic men charged with committing child sex abuse, the Forward reported. In a letter to the Forward denying a request under the New York State Freedom of Information Law, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Morgan Dennehy wrote that releasing the identities of the suspected offenders would allow others in the tight-knit chasidic communities to also identify

at him and told him he didnt belong there, Assistant States Attorney Kevin Wiggins told the judge. Feeling scared, the teen armed himself with a board as the car left. When the car returned, Wiggins said the teen dropped the board before Eliyahu Werdesheim grabbed him and Avi Werdesheim hit him in the head with a radio. As the teen reached in his pocket for his cell phone, Wiggins said a third person, who arrived in a van, stepped on his hand. Other members of the watch group, Shomrim of Baltimore, showed up and the brothers left before police arrived and didnt return, he said. The teen was taken to a hospital with a cut on the back of his head and a broken wrist. Sometimes I think people see things through their own glasses, Andrew Alperstein, attorney for Eliyahu Werdesheim told the judge in opening statements. Alperstein said his 24-year-old client, a prelaw student at Johns Hopkins University, was the newest Shomrim member volunteering in his community doing what he called a mitzvah or good deed. The attorney said the man acted in self-defense. There were two encounters between the teen and his client, Alperstein said. In the first, Werdesheim told the teen to move on and the teen responded with expletives and referred to their religion. As he left, Werdesheim saw the teen break off a piece of wooden pallet with nails still attached and begin to pace back and forth, and he returned to try to defuse the situation, according to the lawyer. If it was intended to be an assault, it would have happened in round one, he said. Susan Green, an attorney for 21-year-old Avi Werdesheim, a pre-med student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, who was not a Shomrim member, said she would raise questions about the identification of her client. Law enforcement officials emphasize that neighborhood watchers responsibility is to report crime, and leave interventions to police. Most follow the rules, they say, and confrontations are rare. We owe a lot of our success to communities that have stepped up and partnered with police. They help us out, Guglielmi said. But when they step too far, we have to hold people accountable. Eliyahu Werdesheim was suspended from an annotated, scholarly edition. Bavarian authorities announced that a version for youth would be prepared as well. It should show exactly where the dangers are in the text, said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Science. The ministers hope that a special edition for schools would preempt the spread of editions that illegally promote Nazi ideology or incite hatred. Iran has not yet decided whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb, the head of Israels military said. The Islamic Re-

Shomrim, which is Hebrew for guards, has some 30 volunteer, unarmed responders. It was founded in 2005 to provide security and gather information for police, Willner said. While the case has not garnered the attention the Martin shooting has, Cortly C.D. Witherspoon, president of the local chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, has organized protests outside the courthouse during court hearings and has been frustrated by the postponements. We feel that justice should have been served long ago. I would contend that the urgency for justice [in this case] is affected by the Trayvon Martin case because of the similarities, he said. Members of the areas Jewish community also rallied outside the courthouse when the brothers appeared in court to enter not guilty pleas in February. Jakob Lurman, the owner of a barbershop, was among them. I have a business in the community. Shomrim do good work, Lurman said. I dont know what happened in that case, but I wanted to show support. Jewish neighborhood watch groups in New York City have faced accusations of unnecessary force against blacks, creating tensions between the Jewish and black communities. That hasnt yet happened in Baltimore, according to the Rev. Alvin Gwynn Sr., president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance. The organization of predominantly black clergy met with leaders of the areas Jewish community to keep relationships between the two communities strong. We were already working with them when this came up, Gwynn said. It hasnt done much damage yet. Susan Green, an attorney for Avi Werdesheim, said last month that she hoped the media coverage would not create an atmosphere that would make it difficult for her client, but declined to comment further. The attorney for Eliyahu Werdesheim did not return calls for comment. o blamed Israel for the exodus of Christians from the West Bank and Jerusalem. In the segment, correspondent Bob Simon, Palestinian Christian leaders and others blame Israel and the settlements for Christians leaving cities such as Bethlehem and Jerusalem. The Jewish Federations of North America and Christians United For Israel asked their members to send messages to CBS executives to complain about the segment. JFNAs action alert, sent before the segment aired, read: We hope that CBS will be flooded with responses through their inboxes, Facebook, Twitter and mail after the program to express discontent if it is as biased as we anticipate. CUFI told its supporters in a Twitter message that 60 Minutes blamed Israel for Christian flight from the Middle East. Join me in telling them the truth. CUFI tweeted later in the day that more than 22,000 supporters had contacted 60 Minutes over the segment. New video clips released by an Israeli NGO show Israeli Lt.-Col. Shalom Eisner hitting

five pro-Palestinian activists. Eisner was dismissed last week from his command post following an investigation into an incident in which he was seen on a YouTube video hitting a Danish pro-Palestinian activist in the face with his rifle. The new video released by the BTselem NGO also was taken during last weeks protest bike ride in the Jordan Valley. Its aim is to show that the demonstration did not turn violent before Eisner began hitting the activists. The confrontation apparently began when one activist attempting to ride his bike on Route 90 ran into the leg of an Israeli army officer. The original video of the incident was posted early last week on YouTube by the International Solidarity Movement. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz relieved Eisner of his position as deputy division commander on moral grounds, according to the IDF. The latest round in the more than 30-year police search for Etan Patz ended without finding any obvious human remains. Police ended the search for Etan, who was six years old when he disappeared near his parents New York apartment in 1979, without finding any substantial new evidence, according to reports. The search had begun again three weeks ago when police believed a basement on Prince Street in lower Manhattan, which was on Etans route to his school bus when he disappeared, may have contained new evidence that would identify his abductor. Etan was walking to the bus on his own for the first time. At the time of the Jewish boys disappearance, the basement housed the workshop of Othniel Miller, a handyman. Miller had given Etan a dollar the day before his disappearance for running an errand. Soon after Etans disappearance, a new concrete floor was poured in the basement. After finding no human remains, however, police have not charged Miller. An online petition urging the International Olympic Committee to honor the Munich 11 at the Olympic Games this summer has garnered thousands of signatures. The Jewish Community Center of Rockland County, N.Y., a member of the JCC Association, initiated the petition, which calls for a moment of silence at the Games in London honoring the 11 Israeli athletes who were murdered at the 1972 Olympics in Munich by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September. The Jewish Federations of North America is asking communities to support the petition, which is attempting to gather one million signatures. The JCC Association has recognized the Munich 11 during every one of the Maccabi Games since 1995. In an official letter sent to the IOC, Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon asked on behalf of the State of Israel for the 2012 Games to open with a moment of silence honoring the 11 Israeli athletes.

It hasnt yet decided whether to go the extra mile. Gantz said this year is critical in Irans nuclear development but not necessarily go, no-go, for an Israeli strike on Irans nuclear sites. Were in a period when something must happen: Either Iran takes its nuclear program to a civilian footing only or the world, perhaps we too, will have to do something, he said. Were closer to the end of the discussions than the middle. We and the United States have a large common alignment of interests and relations, but America looks at America and Israel [looks at] Israel. We live here with our civilians, our women and our children, so we interpret the extent of the urgency differently, Gantz said. Thousands of Christian and Jewish supporters of Israel have bombarded CBS executives with complaints about a 60 Minutes segment that

She alleges teachers, saying they were setting up a Holocaust exhibit, made her hallway and office door into an entrance to a faux gas chamber. McNeil says they painted a swastika on the wall outside her door, painted her door black and placed a photo next to the door of a lever that would activate a gas chamber. McNeil also claims that the teachers wrote Majdanek Bad Und Desinfektion, or Majdanek Bath And Disinfection, above the door imitating the sign for gas chambers at the Majdanek concentration camp and the German word for women directly over the door.

Latin American Catholics and Jews share a trip to the Holy Land to bridge gaps and promote understanding
D

ERUSALEM Lets face it. Jews and Christians havent exactly been the best of friends over the centuries, what with a long history of blood libels, inquisitions, crusades and the like not to mention the question of deicide. Yet, during the past century there has been a gradual shift toward improving JewishChristian relations, which culminated in the 1960s with the Second Vatican Council. Commonly known as Vatican II, the council addressed relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the modern world. Perhaps the most revolutionary change to emerge from the council at least with regard to JewishCatholic relations was the Nostra Aetate (Latin for In our Age) document, which, apart from decrying antiSemitism in any form, further declared that the blame for deicide cannot be pinned on Jews either ancient or present-day Jews. This paved the way for a new trend of reconciliation between Jews and Christians one that has since been cultivated into a mutually beneficial relationship of brotherhood. The highlight of the changing relationship came in the year 2000, when on a visit to Israel Pope John Paul II inserted the following words into the cracks of the Western Wall: G-d of our fathers, you chose Abraham and his descendants to bring your name to the nations: we are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer and, asking your forgiveness, we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood with the [P]eople of the Covenant. Today, there are dozens of centers in the U.S. for Jewish-Christian understanding and the Roman Catholic Church actively seeks ways to correctly present Jews and Judaism within its catechesis. Yet despite the fact that 45 percent of the worlds Catholics live in Latin America, that region seems to have fallen behind its European and North American counterparts and is still plagued by rampant antiSemitism that finds its roots in old biases against the alleged deicide at the hands of the Jews. But last months tour of Israel, attended by a group of Latin American Catholic priests and their Jewish peers, indicates that the winds are changing in that part of the world too. Three partnering organizations worked in tandem to turn this unprecedented initiative into a reality: The World Jewish Diplomatic Corps (WJDC), the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC) and the Latin American Jewish Congress (LAJC). The organizers view the trip not as an end in itself, but rather as the beginning of a longterm and positive relationship between the Jewish and Christian communities of Latin America, communities that in the past have either been strangers or worse, estranged from one another. The eight priests who came on the week-long trip were selected by the local archbishops of So Paulo, Buenos Aires and Bogota cities that all have Jewish communities to ensure that the mission of continued, future dialogue can also be realized. One quality the priests share is the fact that they are all young and for want of a more appropriate word hip. The same goes for the two Latin American Jewish leaders a rabbi and a teacher who accompanied the priests on the tour.

One vivacious priest, Father Pedro Pereira, speaks of the reaction of local Nazareth residents who witnessed the procession of clergymen visiting their town. They saw us together priests in full garb, collar and all walking side-by-side with rabbis with big yarmulkes on their heads. They couldnt understand what on earth was going on! Pereiras answer to how it felt visiting Israels Christian holy sites for the first time in his life is rather astonishing. Im not the kind of priest that is much into pilgrimages. What changed me personally was seeing the Jewish holy sites and feeling the heart of Israelis and the Jewish People. Regarding the groups visit to Yad Vashem, Pereira says, Since my mother died, not a single tear has rolled down my face. But being in the childrens memorial [in Yad Vashem] changed that. It was a very intense moment. I felt shame. Shame on me as a human being. How can humans have done such a thing? It made me think about my own actions and their consequences. But perhaps the most remarkable sentiment is the priests attitude towards the Jewish Temple. As a Catholic, I can feel the presence of the L-rd whenever I pray, says Pereira, I also felt the presence of the L-rd by the [Western] Wall. Yet at the same time, something was missing. I actually missed the presence of the Temple. I put myself in your place and truly empathized it hurt my heart and I felt sorry for you guys that you no longer have your Temple. Father Nicolas Garcon, who has 40,000 people in his parish in Bogota, Colombia, takes Pereiras thought one step further. I feel pain that the Temple is gone, but not just for the Jewish People for me also. And referring to the immigration of Diaspora Jews to Israel, Garcon says, I feel so good when I hear that Jews are returning to Jerusalem to rebuild it. Since I was a child seeing pictures of chasidic Jews, I always felt that Jews were so far, far away from me both in distance and in time. But being here has made me realize that the Torah is not just an old book, its a reality that Jews in this land are living out. For Father Alejandro Velasquez, also from Colombia, coming to Israel has meant shattering many of the stereotypes and legends about Jews that he had heard growing up. We hear a lot of negative things about Jews; for example, in my country, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is accepted as being genuine and there are also conspiracy theories about Jewish links to Freemasonry. My being here has allowed me to openly ask the question of why there has been so much hatred directed at Jews throughout history. But people are afraid of Jews because they dont know them. He adds that prior to coming here, some cynics tried to convince him that the trip was nothing more than Jewish propaganda. So what was the intended nature of the trip? Was it primarily to serve a spiritual function, or was it rather geared toward political or diplomatic ends? According to Jay Shultz, a Jewish diplomat on behalf of the World Jewish Diplomatic Corps, the two issues should never be separated. Yes, there are indeed deep-rooted spiritual implications from this trip. Seeing their Jewish roots firsthand, it became relevant for [the priests] own spirituality, in order to elucidate their own faith. Being here has also al-

lowed them to grasp the religious connection between Christianity and Judaism through the latters ongoing connection to the Land of Israel. For example, visiting the City of David as the place where King David composed psalms is amazing. But what makes it that much more tangible and relevant is actually seeing Jews living there today. As for Shultzs own reasons for organizing the initiative, he says, I do this all as a noble honor, without getting paid, because I believe that strategically working with the 1.3 billion-person Catholic world will very clearly make Israel, and all Jews around the world, safer and stronger. . . . I want to do my all to take care of my family. For their own part, the priests all agree that after coming here, Israel turned from a spiritual idea rooted in the past to a physical and geographical reality that is in the living present and collective future of both Jews and Christians alike. The trips itinerary included a two-day seminar at the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation in Efrat, headed by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin. Three Orthodox rabbis and two Catholic theologians led panels on various issues within the Christian-Jewish dialogue. Rabbi Eugene Korn, the American director of the CJCUC, posits that thankfully today the relationship between Christians and Jews is steadily transitioning from being mere dialogue toward real friendship. There is a need for Catholics to understand how Jews see themselves and just how important Israel is for the Jewish People and the religion. Our religious objective was designed to change perceptions and to eliminate hatred, prejudice and religious extremism. We [Jews] see everyone as enemies because were trapped in the past. Our challenge now is not to remain stuck on what our grandparents said, but rather to invest in what our grandchildren will say. Jews need to understand that today the Roman Catholic Church is a good friend of the Jewish People. But for Rabbi Gilberto Ventura, a teacher in a Jewish school in So Paulo, the initiative extends further than cultivating religious ties between clergymen of differing faiths. It is also about nurturing a culture of peace and showing that not all Jews are cut from the same cloth. In Brazil, avers Ventura, they look at the Jewish community as being disconnected from the population at large perhaps because they think all Jews are rich. For him, the trip to Israel was vital in bridging cultural gaps as well as religious ones, and also in showing that every Jew is different from the next.

Ventura comments on the priests surprise that Jews can come from such wildly different socio-economic and religious backgrounds, and indeed, that they also come in different colors. And nothing drove this message home more than the priests Sabbath experience in Jerusalem. Hosted by religious Jewish families for a traditional Friday-night meal, the priests were able to become acquainted with Judaism on a more intimate level. Since family is such an integral part of the Latin American landscape, Father Velasquez notes that, for him, this was the highlight of the trip. There was wine [Kiddush] of course, and once we drank, the ice was broken and we talked about religious issues. The intellectual level of everyone at the table was very high. Father Velasquez also admits to the faux pas of extending his hand in greeting to his Orthodox female host, who did not take it in return. He grins sheepishly, I was so embarrassed. No doubt that was a lesson in Jewish religious practices that he wont forget in a hurry. Indeed, when this writer came to meet with the group, no hands were proffered, at the priests own initiative. But perhaps the incident symbolizes just how much attitudes have changed since the days when Pope Pius X expressed his proselytizing intentions in a letter to Theodor Herzl thus: We are unable to favor [the Zionist] movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem, but we could never sanction it. . . . If you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with our churches and priests to baptize all of you. Rabbi Pablo Gabe, the rabbi of Kehilas Amichai in Buenos Aires, sums it up as follows: People think our goal is to build some sort of new religion. But that isnt so. They have to continue being Catholics just as we need to continue being Jews. We need to walk together in-between our differences, not by pushing those differences out of the way. Upon his return to Buenos Aires, Rabbi Gabe said he intended to invite Father Pereira and other Catholics from within his community to Sabbath meals in his home. Father Pereira, the priest with the mischievous, brace-enhanced smile, adds a final observation. The Church works towards justice, truth and peace, and together we must walk with Jews in this direction. But its not only an issue between religions it is also between human brothers who share the revelation of G-d in making the world a better place. I have no doubt that being [in Israel] on this trip is the will of G-d. o

ERUSALEM As a politician, Shaul Mofaz, the new leader of Kadima, lacks charisma and is difficult to read. However, his performance in the Yom Kippur War as a paratroop officer offers insight into his character. On two successive nights, Maj. Mofaz led commando teams on helicopter-borne raids deep behind Syrian lines. Thanks to his doggedness and coolness he managed to get them back. As the first week of the war was ending, Israel became aware that Iraq, with surprising speed, had begun dispatching armored divisions to Syrias aid. The Syrians had come close to capturing the Golan Heights on the first night of the war but, in grueling battles, had been driven back across the Purple Line separating Israeli and Syrian forces since the Six-Day War. Israeli tank forces were almost within artillery range of Damascus when the lead elements of an Iraqi division suddenly appeared to their front, stabilizing the battered Syrian army. The air force, engaged in fierce battle over the battlefields of Sinai and Syria, had failed to detect the Iraqi move. Mofaz at this point was ordered to take a 25-man paratroop team to ambush under cover of darkness any tank convoys traveling on the main road from the Iraqi border to the front. A helicopter piloted by Lt.-Col. Yuval Efrat set them down 150 kilometers northeast of Damascus. The force marched several miles from the landing point to a bridge where they took up positions. For an hour they waited but nothing crossed except for occasional trucks traveling in pairs. With the need to get back before first light, Mofaz ordered the bridge wired with explosives and prepared to depart when a solitary tank trailer carrying a T-55 lumbered into view. As it mounted the bridge, the explosives were detonated, sending the bridge and vehicles crashing into the wadi. The force rendezvoused with the helicopter and returned to base. The next night, Mofaz was dispatched again behind Syrian lines, this time with orders to blow up a bridge on the road from Homs to Damascus. The road was being used to transfer anti-aircraft missiles which were preventing the air force from providing effective close support to ground forces in the battle zone. The raiding party numbered 40 men. Lt.-Col. Efrat was again the pilot. He set them down several kilometers from their target and returned to Israel to await their call when they had completed their mission. An hour later, the men were moving through a wadi when a truck traveling without lights stopped on the road above. Thirty Syrian soldiers alighted and opened fire at 200 meters. The paratroopers fired LAW an-

r a b i n o v i c h

titank missiles, newly arrived from the U.S., which exploded among the Syrian soldiers and sent them to cover. Mofaz led his men up onto high ground and prepared to call for an emergency rescue. As he got higher, however, he could make out the bridge in the moonlight. After consulting with his officers, he decided not to call for rescue but to complete the mission. As they started to move off, the paratroopers saw that the road below had filled with vehicles and soldiers. A Syrian plane circled overhead and dropped flares. The paratroopers froze in place until the orange light died. There were by now some 500 Syrian soldiers scouring the terrain and floodlights had been set up. The barking of search dogs could be heard. Mofaz assumed that the bridge must also be swarming with soldiers. He led his men higher into the hills and called for rescue. Efrat was more than halfway back to base when he heard the call. His gauge showed that he did not have enough fuel to return for the men and make it back to Israel. He continued to the Ramat David air base where he, his copilot and the flight engineer hastily transferred to an already fueled helicopter that had been kept in reserve for an emergency rescue. Exhausted after seven days of intensive action, Efrat fell asleep as soon as he was airborne. Snapping awake, he removed his helmet and emptied a canteen over his head, letting the water soak his uniform and run down his back. The mission they were about to undertake, he told his two crewmen, would be a difficult one, probably conducted under fire. The Syrians on the road, believing that they had the Israeli intruders trapped but uncertain exactly where they were, moved cautiously. At one point, some of them began to climb in the direction of Mofazs force and the paratroopers prepared to fire. Mofaz stopped them. No one was to fire without explicit orders, he said. The Syrians still didnt know where they were. Two hours had passed since his call for evacuation and the prospect of rescue before dawn was rapidly receding. Mofaz was thinking of breaking the force up and hiding out until a rescue attempt could be made the next night a desperate plan with virtually no chance of success when the radio came alive. It was Efrat. Ill be with you in 15 minutes. Mofaz set off with one of his officers to find a relatively flat landing surface shielded from view of the Syrians. The best he could find was a moderate slope with rocks. The moon offered Efrat a good view of the landscape below a gray, lifeless expanse he found depressing to look at. It offered neither the greenery of Israel nor the golden sheen of the Sinai desert. One

Polish Town continued from page 3


Before dawn on Monday, March 28, 1942, German SS and Einsatzgruppe B units, accompanied by a Latvian police detachment, boarded a convoy of vehicles. Before dawn, they surrounded the town of Dolhinov, Poland. The town awoke to stamping boots, barked commands, the wails of children, and the sobs of women. The Kazovitz family hid, but David, the baby, was crying and his mother feared the noise would give away their hiding place. So she ran to a Christian neighbor, handed over her fur coat and promised that if the woman would conceal her shed bring a gold watch afterward. The woman refused; the Germans killed the mother and baby. Meanwhile, the rest of the family hid undisturbed. When night fell and the Germans left, Yankel Furman, stepfather of the Kazovitz family, returned, knocked on the door and let them out. They crawled out from the basement to find that few of their friends remained alive. Later, the Christian woman showed up at the Kazovitzs house claiming she had helped, demanding the watch. A single misjudgment about a persons character could cost your life. Chana Brunstein might have had the easiest time that day. She was cooking when a German soldier entered. He should have forced her out to line up with the other Jews but instead Humane? Hungry? Lazy? he merely asked her for some eggs and left. Esfira Dimenshtein and her family were saved because a friendly Polish policeman named Maslovsky had warned them the Germans were coming the next day. They made a big hole in their grandmothers barn and stayed there until it was all over. While most of the family hid in a tunnel, 82-yearold Rhoda Kaplan could take no more. Her son Gendel thought his status as a craftsman might protect her. She stayed seated in the parlor. When the police entered, Gendel handed them his document and said that as a relative his mother was also protected. They returned the document, nodded in agreement, then shot her dead in front of him. One woman, driven mad by fear, ran from her shelter and was caught by the Germans. They promised that if she showed them her familys hideout they would let the Jews there go free. Out of her mind, she did so. The Germans promptly murdered her entire family then killed her, too. Some Poles turned in their neighbors, looting their possessions; others risked their lives to help. Still others locked themselves in their homes, trembling for their own fate and thinking, as one Polish survivor told me, that we might be next. Surrounded by armed police, the Jews who had been caught were marched down the street to the market square, where many had worked. They were ordered to sit and wait. Some fell prostrate onto the ground and wept. Many prayed. Most hoped it would just be some re-registration, minor humiliation, or even the execution of a small number who would be selected from the group. A few ran for it, and were shot down. Two men made a break for it and got pretty far. A submachine gun opened up on them; they fell down. But, when the shooting stopped, one got up and took off again. Police fire brought him down, too. None of those who ran escaped. Gdalia Levin whispered to Boris Kozinitz, Take a good look at the trees and the houses; you shall not see them again. These will stay after we are gone. The world will keep on existing but many Jews will not be in it. One man, however, was given a choice. A German officer pulled aside Lipkind, a member of the Jewish council, and told him, You, as an elder must see all your community being killed and we will kill you last. In response, Lipkind charged at a Polish policeman named Komolka, hit him in the face and then went back to his place among the others. The officer asked Komolka if he wanted Lipkind punished. The policeman replied, No, theres no need, hell be shot soon anyway. Esther Dokshitsky was among those marched to the square. She saw that a mother was holding a screaming baby. One of the Germans grabbed the baby and said, Were not going to waste a bullet on this one, and smashed its head onto an electrical pole, then dropped the dead child on the ground.

A Skewed Vision of Non-Violence


Ed Koch n a New York Times op-ed piece earlier this month,Tom Friedman endorsed what he designated to be non-violent resistance by Palestinians against Israel. He added that Palestinians need to accompany every boycott, hunger strike or rock they throw at Israel with a detailed map delineating their territorial demands. Friedman, Im sorry to say, is allowing himself to be used by radicals whose goal is not peace but the destruction of Israel. Two prior prime ministers of Israel, Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, offered the Palestinian Authority a return of all but between seven and nine percent of the West Bank. That area would bring into the State of Israel most of the 300,000 Israeli Jews living on the West Bank, referred to by Israelis by the biblical names of Judea and Samaria. The seven-to-nine percent would then be replaced by land swaps. Those offers from Israel were turned down by the Palestinian Authority. In a Foreign Affairs edition of August 2011, Eliot Abrams wrote, At Camp David in 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat 94 percent of the West Bank; 10 years later, Ehud Olmert offered [Mahmoud] Abbas 93.6 percent with a one-to-one land swap. The Palestinian Authority has refused to return to high-level peace negotiations for the last yearand-a-half unless Israel agrees to its preconditions which include a settlement freeze on all construction of Jewish homes in the West Bank and Jerusalem and a stipulation that negotiations proceed from what Israel believes are indefensible pre-1967 borders. The Palestinian State called for under the two-State solution which has been accepted by current Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu and his immediate predecessors also includes Gaza. Under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the latter territory was totally evacuated by the Israelis. Since that evacuation in 2005 and after an election won by Hamas, the Palestinians in Gaza under Hamas have continued their war against the Jews. Recently, in one day, Hamas sent 150 rockets into southern Israel, disrupting the economy of the area and endangering its population. The rockets are simply sent in the general direction of cities and towns with their civilian populations as the targets. Supporters of the Palestinian Authority and its two components, Hamas and Fatah, hold Israel to blame for the lack of progress in peace talks. They are furious that Israel refuses to cede more territory under these conditions and thereby commit suicide in pursuit of an illusory peace. Supporters of the Palestinian Authority include Jews in Israel itself and here in the U.S. However, it is rare that any Jewish supporters of the Palestinian Authori-

ty would urge the Palestinians to resume violence against the Jews of Israel. It therefore came as a shock to read in Tom Friedmans op ed that he endorses the resumption of rock throwing against Israelis. Friedmans article was itself, in effect, a rock thrown directly at Israel and the peace process. I caution Friedman not to recommend violence lightly. Having been a victim in 1991 of rocks thrown by Palestinians in the first intifada an injury requiring nine stitches to suture my scalp where it was struck by a stone I couldnt help but wonder: how would Tom Friedman feel if a child in Israel were to be struck by a stone, perhaps losing an eye or worse? Would Friedman blame himself for having encouraged the Arabs on the West Bank to hurl stones in what he describes as a non-violent measure? I thank the Times for publishing my letter to the editor denouncing Friedman for including stone throwing as a non-violent tactic. I also wonder why the Times editorially has not denounced or chastised his behavior, so as to reassure its readers it does not agree with their premier pundit on the Middle East. Friedman welcomed the Arab Spring which, in Egypt and elsewhere, has produced governments that are now dominated by Islamic groups like the Moslem Brotherhood that support the use of terrorism. Friedman is fast becoming the darling of Islamist terrorists everywhere. Friedman did not provide his opinion on whether an Israeli soldier or police officer might defend himself from a rock assault by shooting the person engaged in throwing rocks at him to deter injury to himself or others. My letter published by the Times follows: April 6, 2012 Rock Throwing by Arabs To the Editor: Thomas L. Friedman (A Middle East Twofer, column, April 4) endorses what he calls nonviolent resistance by Palestinians against Israel. He adds that Palestinians need to accompany every boycott, hunger strike or rock they throw at Israel with a detailed map delineating their territorial demands. I was attacked by nonviolent Arab rock throwers while touring the old Jewish quarter of Jerusalem in 1991. I needed nine stitches but was fortunate to have suffered only relatively minor injuries. If my attackers aim had been a little sharper, I could have lost an eye, or worse. Many Israelis as well as foreign tourists have been badly injured, sometimes permanently maimed, in such nonviolent assaults. Israelis have even been murdered by rock throwing. Last September, Asher Palmer, 25, and his infant son, Yonatan, were killed when nonviolent rocks were thrown at their car, causing a fatal crash. We may disagree on borders, settlements, refugees or other contentious Arab-Israeli issues. But cant we all agree that in the English language, the terms nonviolent and rock throwing are mutually exclusive? o

The German commander read the names of men, technicians and professionals, who they still needed. Esthers father and uncle were on the list. Since his own two daughters and wife were safely in hiding, the uncle grabbed his sister and her two children, claiming them as his. A policeman escorted them away as their own father watched them, grateful no doubt that although he would die that day they would not. Then the soldiers and police opened up with rifles and machine guns and mowed down hundreds of people. They fell in place. Others were forced into two warehouses on which gasoline was poured and then set alight. Having been used so long to store hay the buildings went up fast. Anyone trying to escape was machine-gunned. The screams of those burned were terrible, the cries of those who tried to escape were cut short by the bullets. At 6 p.m. it was quitting time, and the murders stopped. Any Jew caught after that was left completely alone, as if the Germans were indifferent to their continued existence. One of the few survivors was Ringa, a first-grade school teacher who, along with her own four-year-old son, was the last one living in her family. When she found Esther, one of her students, also still alive, she was astonished. She hugged and kissed Esther and, with tears in her eyes, said to her: Remember how I taught you about Israel. But we didnt have the opportunity to go there. A few days later, she and her little boy were murdered, too. Others, however, did make it to Israel eventually, where they and their descendants would get to be called Nazis and oppressors by the descendants of those who had murdered and oppressed them or who had stood by and done nothing.

Finally Confronting Hannah Arendt


Seth J. Frantzman f the German-born theorist was a racist, collaborator with a leading Nazi intellectual and probably an antiSemite, why were her work and ideas ever respected? Hannah Arendt, the German-born Jewish political theorist, is still widely admired in the West and in Israel. Her 1963 book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A report on the Banality of Evil has recently been translated into Hebrew. In universities, those who are exposed to Arendts theories are told, time and again, that they are exploring something new, something that is supposedly challenging the old and stale ideas with brilliant theories of human evil and totalitarianism. In general, those who have questioned Arendts findings have tried to challenge them intellectually, but it is worthwhile to go beyond that and ask why her work and ideas were ever respected in the first place, especially in light of the fact that she was a raving racist, collaborator with a leading Nazi intellectual, and probable antiSemite. To get an idea of the vast exposure and influence of Arendt one must only read her admirers comments. Cynthia Haven at Stanford University writes: The 20th-century world of philosophy did not, as a rule, create superstars. Hannah Arendt was an exception . . . thirty-five years after her death, the German-Jewish political theorist . . . is an international industry. There is a Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, where much of her personal library is located, and now a Hannah Arendt movie. Reviewing a recent book by Deborah Lipstadt in which the author criticized Arendt, the Centers blog noted: Thanks to Hannah Arendt, most people have come to understand [Adolph] Eichmann as a herald for the terrifying possibility of ordinary people displaying and promoting true evil. In other words, the popular belief is that this particular Nazi was just a normal person driven by his desire to succeed, rather than any true hatred or criminal intent, to facilitate the murder of millions. Arendt was born in 1906 in Germany but spent her young life in the East Prussian city of Konigsberg (now the Russian military district of Kaliningrad). She studied at the University of Marburg where she met Martin Heidegger, a German philosopher who became her companion and a leading Nazi intellectual. Because of the rise of Nazism, she fled Germany and lived in France until the German occupation forced her to flee again, this time to the United States. She was employed by the Joint Distribution Committee, a Jewish NGO, as part of a project called Jewish Cultural Reconstruction after the war, before becoming a roving academic and intellectual, securing posts at many of Americas most prestigious universities. She is famous for her works The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) and Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963). In her two books, her main contribution has been to show that Nazism was not unique; in its totalitari-

of his monitors flickered as he activated an electronic signal beacon. They were only a few kilometers away now but the beacon offered only a general direction. Approaching closer, Efrat asked Mofaz to flash a light but the paratroop commander said he could not. The Syrians were only 800 meters away. Suddenly Mofaz shouted, Theyre firing at you. Efrat saw nothing but a moment later he heard the thud of bullets and thought he smelled gunpowder. Below he could see the Homs road and beyond it a line of low hills. Mofaz was up there somewhere. Efrat took his craft on a wide swing so as to approach the hills from the other side, away from the Syrian troops. Slowing down and lowering his wheels, he headed for the rear slope of a hill where he thought Mofaz might be, given the location from which the Syrians had fired. Mofaz now flashed a hooded light that projected a narrow beam not visible from the sides. Efrat was looking right at it when it went on a kilometer away. I see you, he said. Keeping his eyes fixed on the spot, he asked his copilot to read the gauges and give him a running account of speed and altitude. Reaching the hill, Efrat looked down and saw the paratroopers just below. He set the helicopter straight down without taking the time to check whether the site was clear of men. Count them as they come in, he said to his engineer. The paratroopers swiftly entered the craft, Mofaz and the other officers at the rear. Forty, shouted the engineer. Close it, said Efrat, Were taking off. As they rose, one of the officers yelped. A bullet had penetrated the floor and hit his backside. A paratrooper looking out the window saw a mortar barrage blossoming on the hilltop they had left seconds before. An hour-and-a-half later, the helicopter made an emergency landing at the Ramat David air base. Emerging, Efrat and Mofaz saw that the helicopter skin and rotor were peppered with bullet holes. Efrat would in time become a commercial pilot and Jerusalem Post Mofaz chief-of-staff.

an aspects, it was like the Soviet Union and its individuals were primarily clowns (the word used to describe Eichmann) or mere bureaucrats. She absolved the Germans of any special guilt regarding the Holocaust and support for Nazism by arguing that all people were capable of producing such evil. What has often been missed is that Arendt was a German nationalist and a raving antiSemite who only escaped being called such by being Jewish. In Origins she blamed wealthy Jews for the rise of nationalism because of their support for the monarchy. The Jews had been purveyors in wars and the servants of kings, she wrote. In Eichmann she argued that had it not been for the Jews who worked with the Nazi administration, in the ghettos and camps, the death toll in the Holocaust would have been lower. This antiSemitic tripe and Holocaust marginalization has passed for pseudo-intellectualism at the finest universities. Arendt also hated Israel and Zionism. In 1948 she wrote of Menachem Begins Herut Party that one of the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created [S] tate of Israel of a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. She also said the Eichmann trial was a show trial. But it is her racism for which she must be finally taken to account. Those who love Arendt often ignore this fact or bury it in a footnote, as Steven Aschheim did in his book, Arendt in Jerusalem. When she was in Jerusalem, she wrote to her German philosopher friend Karl Jaspers: On top, the judges, the best of German Jewry. Below them, the prosecuting attorneys, Galicians, but still Europeans. Everything is organized by a police force that gives me the creeps, speaks only Hebrew, and looks Arabic . . . they would obey any order. And outside the doors, the oriental mob, as if one were in Istanbul or some other half-Asiatic country. In addition, and very visible in Jerusalem, the peyos and caftan Jews, who make life impossible for all the reasonable people here. In her judgment that the Germans, the best, are properly placed on top we find an Aryan supremacy that would not have been unwelcomed in Himmlers ministries. In her view that the police would obey any order we find a comparison of Jews to Nazis. In her comments about the Oriental mob and the creepy feeling of seeing people that look Arabic we find the racism, the hatred of Arabs and the hatred of Jews from Middle Eastern countries. In her contempt for the religious Jews we find the typical hatred that German Jews had for the ostjuden, their supposed brethren from the east. Hannah Arendts letter should be required reading in any university course that mentions her name. Her racism against Arabs and her Eurocentric views all should be made known before anyone opens her books. Just as Henry Fords racism has harmed his long-term reputation and the fascism of Ezra Pound destroyed respect for him, it is time to overcome Hannah Arnedt, and to leave her in the dustbin of history, where she belongs. o

The Swiss And Iran


witzerland, a pivotal banking giant and one under whose aegis much international trade is transacted, is crucial in imposing meaningful sanctions on Iran. Swiss dillydallying can do proportionally greater harm than equivocation on part of other States the same size. Unfortunately, the Swiss have long failed to put their money where their mouth often is. They persist in doing the wrong thing or in not doing the right thing despite much sanctimony. Week before last, we were informed that while Switzerland has purportedly extended financial sanctions against Tehran, it stopped short of freezing the assets of the ayatollahs central bank and of imposing an oil embargo in line with actions taken by other Western powers in view of Irans ongoing nuclear project. The Swiss Federal Council did freeze the assets of eight Iranian firms and three Iranian individuals but it did not extend its sanctions to the Iranian central bank, because, in the words of the Swiss Economics Ministry, that bank is important for the Iranian economy. But that is precisely the logic of sanctions to hit Tehran where it hurts, not to lightly rap it on the wrist. The word from Bern is that it would reconsider at a later date whether to ramp up its sanctions. That is bad news, because Switzerland is not one of Irans dubious autocratic hangers-on such as Venezuela or Syria, and it is not a Russian or Chinese ally. Hedging on sanctions by seemingly enlightened Western governments underscores why these sanctions imposed by both the E.U. and U.S. have always looked better on paper than in the real here-and-now. Their major flaw hardly the only one is the probability that not everyone will adhere to them. We arent talking about blatant, provocative defiance, as in the cases of Irans circle of best friends, nor of countries less ideologically confrontational but with various economic and geopolitical axes to grind (such as Russia along with a host of former USSR components, China and other East Asian States). European democracies like Switzerland should for their own good be in the vanguard of the struggle to defend Free World interests against a rogue regime with nuclear ambitions. Currently this struggle is limited to doubtfully adequate measures, making it all the more imC O N T I N U E D O N P A G E 2 9

Voices
Sir, Already weeks ago, Israeli President Shimon Peres sent a personal letter to President Barak Obama, asking him to pardon Jonathan Pollard. The first insult came when some White House underling said there has been no change in policy. The letter was for Obama and no one else. Common courtesy requires a reply from Obama himself. The fact that this has not yet happened is an insult to our president and through him to the entire nation. I would hope that for his pride and that of the nation, Peres would decline accepting a U.S. medal if he does not receive a direct reply from Obama. Kurt Simon Jerusalem, Israel Via the Internet Sir, As Holocaust survivors we lived through horrific experiences, lost countless family and friends, and worked hard to rebuild our lives and contribute to our communities. Yet regrettably, many of our fellow survivors are sick and destitute. The Claims Conference, which is charged with the holy task of helping survivors live out their final years in a semblance of dignity, is spending hundreds of millions on projects favored by its non-survi-

vor board members (including concerts and subsidies for entertainment) instead of devoting available funds to essential, lifesaving activities. The emergency committees for the poor in most cases give out no more than $2,500 annually per survivor, which does not even cover a full set of dentures or up-to-date hearing aid. My organization counts over 900 registered members in 16 U.S. states. We hold monthly meetings and issue a monthly newspaper. We are a constituent of the national alliance HSF-USA, the Holocaust Survivors Foundation, with over 20,000 members nationwide. Yet we have no control over the restitution and compensation funds obtained in our names. Leo Rechter New York City, New York The writer is president of NAHOS (National Association of Jewish Child Holocaust Survivors) Via the Internet Sir, September 11 was the Islamists Pearl Harbor, their declaration of war against America, Israel and the values of the West. But thats where the analogy ends. During World War II, German-American and Japanese-Americans sympathies (if any) for their homeland were either officially suppressed or selfcensored, while todays defiant Islamists have refused to back down and since 9/12 have been on the offensive out in the open and in our own back yard. Hiding behind our

sacrosanct shield of religion, and abetted by the fantasies, biases and naivet of Western experts, Islam has no reason to be shy and every incentive to spit in our faces. Only question is, willful or unknowing, will our misguided collaboration with them ever end? Dan Friedman New York City, New York Via the Internet Sir, My family likes to enjoy the Passover holiday in Israel. However, in recent years we have stopped participating in the Mimouna, which has become the holiday of the mufleta, or, as you describe it, a North African Jewish pancake. We asked over a dozen people who were celebrating at different locations about the source and meaning of the holiday, and believe it or not almost all spoke enthusiastically only about the mufletot and the other holiday foods (although some went further and noted the dancers that have become such an integral part of the day). In only one newspaper did I find a reference to the source for the holiday and mention of the Rambams father. How sad and painful that in Israel, of all places, the holiday has been so diluted and voided of its essence. Im not at all sure that the Rambam would have placed any emphasis on the mufletot or invited any dancers. A. Ben-Yosef New York City, New York Via the Internet

My Mother: A Heroine Of The Holocaust


Menachem Z. Rosensaft

mong the approximately 58,000 prisoners British troops liberated at the Nazi concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen in Germany on April 15, 1945, were 149 Jewish children whom my mother and a small group of other women inmates had kept alive despite the gruesome conditions that prevailed there. Had my mother not been Jewish, she most certainly would have been honored as a Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem alongside such individuals as Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who gave visas to Jews in Budapest in 1944; Miep Gies, one of the small group of Christians who provided Anne Frank and her family with a hiding place in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam for more than two years until they were betrayed to the Gestapo; and Pastor Andr Trocm of the French village of Le Chambon who inspired his congregants to defy German orders and give shelter to thousands of Jewish refugees. The heroism of those Jewish men and women who risked their own lives to help and save others even during their darkest hours in the concentration- and death camps of the Holocaust deserves equal recognition. One of these altruistic figures was my mother, Dr. Hadassah Rosensaft. On the night of August 3, 1943, when she arrived at the AuschwitzBirkenau death camp, her parents, her first husband and her five-and-ahalf-year-old son were immediately murdered in one of the death camps gas chambers. Two months later, the notorious Joseph Mengele, Birkenaus chief medical officer, assigned my mother, a dentist from the Polish city of Sosnowiec who had studied medicine in France, to work as a doctor in the camps infirmary. Because of her medical training, she was able to save the lives of fellow inmates by performing rudimentary surgeries for them, camouflaging their wounds and sending them out

of the barracks on work detail in advance of selections. In November of the following year, Mengele sent my mother, then Hadassah (Ada) Bimko, and eight other Jewish prisoners of Birkenau as a medical team to Bergen-Belsen, in Germany. Once again, the human potential for good in the face of evil manifested itself. Beginning with 49 Dutch children in December 1944, she organized what became known as a Kinderheim, a childrens home, within the concentration camp. At that time, Hela Los Jafe, one of my mothers fellow inmates, subsequently recalled in Sisters in Sorrow: Voices of Care in the Holocaust by Roger A. Ritvo and Diane M. Plotkin, Bergen-Belsen started to be like Oswiecim [Auschwitz]. Transports came from all over, bringing thousands of people. Ada walked from block to block, found the children, took them, lived with them, and took care of them. Among them were children from Poland, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere who had been brought to Bergen-Belsen from other Nazi concentration camps. Together with a group of other women prisoners, my mother kept 149 Jewish children alive at Bergen-Belsen throughout the bitter winter and early spring of 1945. According to Hela Jafe, The children were very small and sick, and we had to wash them, clothe them, calm them and feed them. . . . Most of them were sick with terrible indigestion, dysentery and diarrhea, and just lay on the bunks. . . . There was little food, but somehow Ada managed to get some special food and white bread from the Germans. . . . Later, there was typhus. . . . Ada was the one who could get injections, chocolate, pills and vitamins. I dont know how she did it. Although most of the children were sick, thanks to Ada nearly all of them survived. Keeping the children alive became a communal endeavor for many of Bergen-Belsens inmates. We sent word of the children to the Jewish men who worked in the SS food depot, my mother wrote in Yesterday,

My Story, her posthumously published memoirs, and they risked their lives daily to steal food and pass it to us under the barbed wire. Jewish prisoners in the camp pharmacy smuggled over medicine for the children. When the children desperately needed warm clothes during the harsh winter months of 1945, my mother recalled, Somebody mentioned that there was a storage room in the camp where clothes taken away from the arriving inmates were kept. I went there with two of the nurses. To my surprise I was greeted and hugged by two Polish women whom I had helped and protected from heavy work in the scabies block in Birkenau. They gave us all the clothes we wanted. In my mothers words, she and the women in her group had been given the opportunity to take care of these abandoned Jewish children, and we gave them all our love and whatever strength was left within us. . . . We talked to them, played with them, tried to make them laugh, listened to them, comforted them when they cried and had nightmares. When they were sick with typhus, we sat beside them telling stories and fairy tales. I sang songs to them in Polish, Yiddish and Hebrew, whatever I remembered, just to calm them until they fell asleep. Where my mother found the strength to help and save others rather than focusing on her own survival has always been a profound mystery to me. Perhaps her devotion to the children at Bergen-Belsen was her way of coping with her inability to protect her own child. In the middle of winter, observed Albert Camus, I found out at last that there was within me an invincible summer.

om Hashoah is a sad day of reflection. Our thoughts and innermost feelings reach out to the millions of victims of the Nazi extermination machine. This is natural and understandable. Less so is the fact that we have failed to create a collective memory vis--vis the scores of heroes, women and men, who risked their lives to save others. Not only the almost 25,000 people who were recognized as Righteous among the Nations, but also tens of thousands of rescuers who remain anonymous or who cannot gain such an official recognition because they were Jewish. By Jewish savior we do not mean the trivial case of a Jewish mother who saved her son, but we are talking of a sizable number of Jews who took an extra risk in order to save their sisters and brothers. To be sure, it is absolutely reasonable that the Jewish State pays tribute to the Gentiles who saved Jews during the Holocaust, but inevitably, this creates discrimination. Therefore, we should create a day in which we could celebrate the feats of all those who saved Jews, not only during the Holocaust, but throughout history. This could serve as a precedent for the world at large to institute a Universal Day of Saviors, dedicated to saviors who saved people from all religions and nationalities. Jewish history is packed with tragic events. The exercise of remembering sad moments is important, but so is the need to celebrate and highlight the positive. We know this is not easy, but from the experience we gained at the helm of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, following decades of implementing educational programs, we know for fact younger generations are looking for role models, and what better role models than those who were ready to sacrifice their own lives in order to save others? Isnt it sad that everybody knows who Hitler, Himmler or Eichmann were, but who knows of the tens of thousand of rescuers? We are proud to carry the name of Raoul Wallenberg, the young Swedish diplomat who in less than nine months, from July 1944 to January 1945, was able to rescue tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews. Sad is the fact that he, who saved so many, became himself a victim of oppression. On January 17, 1945, he was imprisoned by the Soviets, and his fate and whereabouts are a mystery even today. He, who saved so many, could not himself be saved. Other heroes acted for longer periods of time; some also paid with their own lives, but unlike Wallenberg they were left in oblivion. All of them made a huge difference. The State of Israel celebrates its Day of Independence immediately after remembering its fallen soldiers, stressing that the building of the nation is owed to these martyrs. Sorrow and joy are almost intertwined. Similarly, Yom Hashoah, which remembers the victims and the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators, should be followed by the Day of the Saviors, which should celebrate the legacies of the heroes who represent the light in the midst of darkness, regardless of their religion, nationality of background. Remembering the tragedies is important. Remembering the rescuers is imperative.

ARIS If Isaac Sitrin is worried about being targeted by Jew-hating thugs, then he is hiding it well. After determining that a fellow train passenger is Jewish and willing to lay tefillin, he ushers the passenger to the center of Gare du Nord train station. Praying aloud, Sitrin performs the ritual ceremony as his wife and daughters wait nearby. We feel safer now. [President] Nicolas Sarkozy put cops everywhere and got the killer right away. Many Jews will vote for him after Toulouse, Sitrin says in reference to the slaying of a rabbi and three children last month by a Moslem radical at a Jewish school. But Jewish voters couldnt put incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy over the top in the first round of presidential elections in France. The Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande eked out a 1.4 percent victory on Sunday over Sarkozy, the center-right president, although Jewish community leaders said Sarkozy was the undisputed favorite among Jewish voters. Hard figures on the Jewish vote are scarce, as French pollsters are not allowed to ask about religion in election surveys, and the number of French Jewish voters is negligible. Jewish representatives and politicians say they would have full confidence in Hollande as president, but not in his political associates. Hollande won 28.6 percent of the vote, Sarkozy had 27.2 percent and Marine Le Pen, leader of the French extreme right, had 18 percent the best showing ever for the National Front par-

ty founded by her father, JeanMarie Le Pen. The second and final round pitting Hollande against Sarkozy is scheduled to take place in two weeks; polls shows Hollande with a commanding lead. In Tel Aviv, voting results released Monday by the French Embassy showed Sarkozy receiving 81 percent of the 9,302 votes cast there. Eight percent voted for Hollande and four percent for Le Pen. Sarkozy, according to Richard Prasquier, president of the umbrella of French Jewish organizations known as CRIF, was the communitys favorite in the 2007 elections because of his firm stance on antiSemitism, positive attitude toward Israel and, perhaps, Sarkozys Jewish grandfather. French Jewry is approximately half-a-million strong, accounting for 0.6 percent of the national electorate, according to a study by the Cevipof polling company. Despite some disappointments during his term, Sarkozy regained the appreciation of the Jewish community with his quick response to the Toulouse shooting last month. French authorities captured and killed the suspected perpetrator within two days, arrested dozens of suspects, barred radical preachers from entering and announced new anti-jihadist legislation. For the general vote, the Toulouse shooting and the appearance of radical Islam in Europe played a minor role. Not so for the Jewish community, said Ivan Rioufol, columnist in the French daily Le Figaro. Sarkozy would have a tough time winning against Hollande,

but it was still be possible, Rioufol added, depending on how the Le Pen voters cast their ballots in the second round. If Hollande is elected president, France would be more politically aligned with the Arab countries, and this could have an effect on its relations with Israel, he said. Hollande represents the center-right wing of the Socialist Party, said Joel Rubinfeld, a Jewish politician from Belgium. If he becomes president, the question for French Jews and for Israel is which wing of the Socialist Party prevails. Prasquier concurs, saying, We have absolutely no problem with Hollande as president, [but] if some leading members of his party appear to be more against Israel than the previous UMP party of Sarkozy, this might have consequences on the general opinion. He added that, traditionally, Jews tended to vote Socialist, but It changed with Sarkozy. In January, Socialist MP Jean Glavany grabbed headlines as the author of a parliamentary report accusing Israel of water apartheid and theft in the Palestinian territories. CRIF rejected the document, calling it biased. The French Jewish weekly Actualite Juive ran interviews with Hollande and Sarkozy last week in which both vowed to fight antiSemitism and support Israel as the Jewish State. Asked whether they regarded Jerusalem as the capital of that State, Sarkozy said Jerusalem should be the capital of both Israel and the Palestinian State. Hollande said the parties needed to decide on that. On April 2, CRIF organized

. a meeting in Paris for the community with Pierre Moscovici, national secretary of the Socialist Party. The Socialist Party has many rigorous men and women of principle who are both friendly and demanding when it comes to Israel. They firmly oppose antiSemitism, said Moscovici, who is Jewish. But Professor Shmuel Trigano, an expert in French Jewry and lecturer at Paris-Nanterre University, speaks of a near total silence of the Socialist Party on hundreds of antiSemitic attacks. In parallel, he complains of disproportionate criticism of Israel. Still, many Jews are displeased with Sarkozy. A study of Jewish voters by Cevipof showed that over the past two years, Sarkozys approval rating has dropped 19 percentage points among Jews from 62 percent in 2007-09 to 43 percent in 2009-11. Among nonJews, Sarkozys popularity fell by 14 percentage points, to 32 percent in January. Prior to the election, Philippe Karsenty, a Jewish-French politician and media analyst said, There isnt a single candidate the Jews can wholly welcome. Sarkozy has some responsibility for what happened in Toulouse because he let anti-Zionist propaganda of the French public media outlets grow. K arsenty, who has long claimed that a France 2 television report on the killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammed al-Dura, in Gaza in 2000 was doctored to blame his death on Israel, accuses Sarkozy of helping Al Jazeera spread the kind of radicalism that caused the Toulouse massacre. Last year, the Al Jazeera network bought media rights from the Union of European Football Associations to screen most championship soccer matches in France. The deal came at the expense of the previous rights owner, the French pay-television channel Canal+. The French government has considerable clout over UEFA. The same imams Sarkozy banned deliver their message to France through Al Jazeera in Arabic, Karsenty says. The French government should not be encouraging that. Sarkozy has disappointed the French Jewish community in other ways, too: the French vote in favor of Palestinian membership in UNESCO, condemnations of Israeli settlements and when he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a liar. That disappointment may partly explain an apparent shift in how some Jews view the National Front, Frances largest right-wing party. On March 27, the French branch of the Jewish Defense League publicly expressed support for the antiMoslem party, which has a history of antiSemitism. An important National Front delegation visited the Grande Synagogue de la Victoire in Toulouse, the branchs website said. Founded in the 1970s by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, JDL is considered a terrorist group in the U.S. but is legal in France. Amnon Cohen, JDLs Paris spokesman, says it has dozens of activists. Cohen says the National Front isnt perfect but isnt dangerous. Well work with those willing to fight the Islamic threat. Since assuming the leadership of the National Front last year, Marine Le Pen has distanced herself from the antiSemitic rhetoric of her father and predecessor, who has called the Holocaust a detail in history and been convicted several times in France for Holocaust denial. Jean-Marie Le Pen also said the German occupation of France was not particularly inhumane. Marine Le Pen, by contrast, has reached out to French Jews and Israelis, describing them as natural allies. Even before that, in 2007, the National Front received nearly five percent of the Jewish vote. Michel Zerbib, a radio journalist for Radio J, the French Jewish radio station, says the Toulouse shooting could bring more Jews to vote Le Pen. They would be protest votes by Jews who feel abandoned, he says. More Jews feel like that after Toulouse and they are seriously thinking about emigrating to Israel. o

Security And Defense: Meet The Cyber Defenders


Yaakov Katz

An exclusive look at soldiers trained to prevent infiltrations of the most classified networks

ERUSALEM Its August 2013. IDF tanks and armored personnel carriers are taking up positions throughout southern Lebanon following a series of Scud missile attacks on Tel Aviv. The forces are gearing up to conquer over 100 villages where Military Intelligence says Hezbollah has deployed its guerrillas and rocket launchers. Days earlier, Israel Air Force F-16s and F-15s bombed hundreds of targets throughout northern Lebanon, taking out the vast majority of Hezbollahs long-range missiles, supplied by Iran and Syria. The infantry and armored battalions had trained for this day for years. Commanders carefully studied the failures of the Second Lebanon War in 2006 and stressed the need for interoperability between the IDFs various branches air, sea and land. The years of training and the unprecedented investment in technology was about to pay off with the largest joint air-naval-ground campaign in Israeli history.

But then, something went wrong. Just as the chief of staff was about to give the attack order, the screens in the tanks and the APCs on which soldiers can see the positions of friendly and enemy forces flickered

for a second and went blank. Attack helicopters hovering above to provide air support suddenly lost communication with troops below and back in the underground command center in the Kirya in Tel Aviv, the chief of

staff was wiping the sweat from his brow as he looked at a row of screens suddenly overtaken by gray-and-white static. This scenario is Israels nightmare, one that top IDF officers admit causes them to lose sleep at night. In simple terms it is the possibility that IDF networks will be hacked by someone searching for information. In more complicated terms, it could mean that Israels en-

emies will not only infiltrate a network but will also try to shut it down or take it over. Can this happen? No one really knows. Do Israels enemies have the capability to do this today? Also an unknown; but even if this is not the case, they could . . . one day and the IDF needs to be ready. The threat is growing, a senior officer from the C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence) Directorate explains. The more we, as a military, rely on communications and computer networks, the more vulnerable we become. Understanding the magnitude of this evolving threat, Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz ignored governmentsanctioned budget cuts earlier this year and approved a special multi-year budget program aimed at bolstering Israels cyber capabilities offensive and defensive. Last week, this reporter was provided an exclusive look at one of the newest and most classified units in the IDF the Cyber Defense Division. Established a year ago, the division made history last Tuesday with the graduation of its first course of Cyber Defenders, the term the army has given to this new, revolutionary military role. The 30 soldiers who completed the 15-week course will be dispersed throughout the IDFs branches where they will

prowl computer networks in an effort to prevent and detect infiltrations. Our purpose is to create a capability for the IDF to confront threats developing in the cyber world and to enable the IDF to defend itself from disruptions to its operational procedures, Col. D., commander of the Cyber Defense Division, said in a rare interview. The decision to establish the division was made in 2010 by Gantz, who then served as deputy chief of staff under Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi. Ashkenazi had asked Gantz to conduct a review of the IDFs cyber capabilities and to consider how to better organize them. One possibility was to follow the United States and NATO who had established dedicated cyber commands. Ultimately, however, Gantz and Ashkenazi decided to divide the responsibilities between the C4I Directorate and Military Intelligence. Military Intelligence Unit

8200, the equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency and already responsible for signal intelligence, eavesdropping on the enemy and code decryption, was entrusted with offensive cyber capabilities. Defense was put in the hands of D. and his new division in the C4I Directorate. The branches work closely together and rely heavily on each others input and experience. The Cyber Defense Division, for example, receives intelligence on enemy cyber capabilities from Military Intelligence, and Unit 8200 looks to the C4I Directorate for technical guidance. The C4I Directorate also established a cyber war room in the Kirya military headquarters where officers can keep an eye on the armys various networks. Currently, the directorate is developing a new command-and-control system that will enable it to oversee all of the main networks at once without

needing to look at each one individually. The importance of this unit for the IDF was demonstrated in the decision to allow D. to recruit soldiers into the Cyber Defenders course who have a highenough profile to serve in combat units. Once accepted, the soldiers sign on for an additional yearand-a-half on top of their three years of compulsory service. The soldiers are like hunters, said Col. D. They go on patrols and conduct surveillance just like soldiers do in the air, on the ground and at sea, although with different weapons. One of them, U., said that while he was interested in computers in high school he never realized that his new job would be so important and interesting. Another soldier, S. the only woman in the course wanted to serve in a combat unit but after she was offered the post decided to accept. Without a strong defense, the offense will not be worth as much, she explained. If you dont protect your information your attempted attack might not be successful. Israels expertise in cyber warfare comes from defense industries that are built on graduates of some of the IDFs elite technological units as well as from IDF units where capabilities are developed in-house. Everyone agrees that cyber warfare is still in its early stages but is quickly developing.

Stuxnet, the virus Israel was reported by foreign sources to have used to attack Irans uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, has been likened to a bomb and reports of additional viruses have surfaced. One of the divisions greatest challenges, though, is in trying to predict the future what type of capabilities Israels enemies are developing and how they will be used to attack IDF networks. The challenge is to accurately be able to tell what tomorrow will bring, D. explained. We need to prepare for the next war, not the one that we already fought. While the IDF refuses to comment on whether cyber att ack s have a l ready oc curred, there are believed to

be attempts some sophisticated and some not almost every day. D. said he will not be able to declare success until the real test takes place. The units new insignia, though, provides the answer as to how D. would like that test to end it shows a globe being struck by lightning. The lightning, however, fails to penetrate and instead shatters into pieces. That is what we are supposed to do, he said with a smile.

Sheer Willpower, Limitless Optimism And Total Lack Of Fear


A reporter goes on patrol in Hebron with a deputy-commander of the IDFs Judea Division and learns his incredible life story
Yaakov Lappin EBRON A green bulletproof army jeep snakes along the narrow streets of Hebrons Old City as the sun sets over the ancient, disputed city, perched high up in the hills. Lt.-Col. Shahar Spada, deputy-commander of the IDFs Judea Brigade, is at the wheel. Respect is not guaranteed by rank. These marks on my shoulder dont mean a thing, Spada says as the jeep passes by hardened Palestinian youths loitering on a street corner. Respect is earned, Spada continues. Its how you behave personally with the soldiers under your command that counts, the example you set. The ultimate worth of a commander is measured by how his soldiers conduct themselves in his absence. Minutes later, he is out of his jeep, greeting young soldiers warmly, patting them on the back and asking them how they are. Spada is a powerfully-built man who exudes optimism. Neither of these attributes can be taken for granted, in light of his life story. It is difficult, if not impossible to hear Spadas story without being overwhelmed with a feeling of respect. Fifteen years ago, Spada was a young paratrooper on patrol in southern Lebanon, two years before Israels withdrawal from its security zone in the land of cedars. An explosive device went off nearby, causing him severe shrapnel wounds. He suffered a punctured lung, a broken collar bone and multiple deep shrapnel penetrations to his back. Spada somehow survived the incident, but the IDF was convinced that his career in the armed forces had come to an end.

Spada, however, had other ideas. I believe in willpower. If you want to get it done, nothing can get in your way, he says. He spent the next 26 months rehabilitating himself, swimming laps in a pool and, eventually, jogging. He rebuilt himself back up from scratch. The first time I cried was from the frustration I felt when the IDF called me to say I would be discharged because of my injuries, he recalls. It was like a knife to the heart. Spada admits that everyone thought I was crazy for wanting to go back, including then-President Ezer Weizman, who visited him personally. Spada fought tooth-and-nail against the decision to discharge him, arguing with seven army medical committees before finally being approved for service by an eighth committee, a

day he describes as one of the happiest in his life. We have no other country, he says, summing up the motivation for his actions. I took no disability benefits, nothing from this country, he says. As long as I can stand on my feet, and as long as I have the family G-d gave me, I have everything I need. Back in the army, Spada quickly rose through the ranks, passing a commanders course. His motivation for becoming a commander, he said, was the unparalleled satisfaction of leading soldiers in the defense of their country. He was in the thick of the fighting during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, taking part in intense urban warfare against Palestinian gunmen and suicide bombers in Nab-

lus, Kalkilya and Tulkarm, when one night he received a call from the army informing him that a suicide bomber was heading toward an Israeli target. I learned the details [en route]. The adrenaline was [running] high. We captured him, with the explosives, he says. As fighting erupted across the West Bank, Spada married the woman with whom he would go on to have four daughters. An officer who had been a guest at his wedding was killed in a firefight just two days after the ceremony. Few stories encapsulate the proximity of ordinary family events and extreme violence that characterize Spadas life as much as the events that unfolded on the night before his first baby-daughters naming ceremony.

In the middle of the night, Spada was called out with his unit to Kalkilya to intercept a terrorist. A firefight ensued, and his subordinate was shot in the leg. Spada saw the wound was not life threatening, borrowed his subordinates bulletproof vest and charged into the battle zone, exchanging fire with the terrorist before shooting him dead. Soon afterward, Spada returned to his home, where his anxious wife was waiting. I asked her to give me a haircut because I looked a mess, he says. I can go from zero to 100 in seconds, says Spada, acknowledging, though, that this ability to spring into action was earned at a high cost. In the summer of 2006, Spada was studying Middle Eastern affairs at Bar-Ilan University when he heard that another war had broken out. He rushed to join Israels paratroopers, entering southern Lebanon once more to fight against Hezbollah terrorists in house-to-house combat. Today, Spada is deputy commander of the Judea Brigade, which is tasked with securing Hebron, one of the most complex and difficult-to-defend areas in the West Bank, where Israelis and Palestinians live practically on one anothers doorsteps. The religious, conservative city is a Hamas stronghold, and the calm there is deceptive. It can easily erupt, and an attack could occur without leaving an intelligence signature, Spada warns. People dont stop thinking about launching attacks and we dont stop thinking about preventing them, he says. Now is a period of calm, but the motivaEstablished 1887

tion for attacks hasnt dropped. So what is stopping a Palestinian gunman from climbing a hill or mounting a rooftop in the city and opening fire? Spada says its the deterrence his force has created, by making terror cells wholly uncertain about when and from where IDF soldiers will emerge. Its the uncertainty that we aim for. We work for this all the time. We create it, and its our defense. he explains. The gunman will think that he cant shoot from this spot because he saw an IDF patrol pass by at 2

a.m. and again at 8 a.m., and he is entirely unsure about when and how many soldiers could appear next. Naturally, intelligence plays a crucial role as well, Spada notes. When attacks do slip through, Spada cannot help but hold himself accountable, he says. How did I miss this? Thats what I ask myself. Throughout all of the gun battles, the struggle to recover from his injuries, and his day-to-day security missions, Spada says he has not fallen prey to fear except on one occasion, which ocClassiC Pre-War Park avenue Condo

curred far from the traditional battlefield. Spada was in Jerusalem with his wife in December 2001 when they were caught up by chance in the midst of one of the most brutal suicide bombing attacks Israel had ever seen, involving two suicide bombers on foot and one more in a vehicle. The target: civilians at Jerusalems Zion Square. He and his wife were visiting the area when the first blast went off. Spada instinctively drew his firearm and ran toward the attack, instructing his wife to stay

in their vehicle. As he made his way toward the blast site, he heard two more blasts. Spada ran back to his car and was horrified to discover that his wife was not there. He began frantically searching for her, while also encountering seriously injured people, taking off his belt and shoelaces to tourniquet their wounds. I jumped over dead bodies and helped the injured, all the while asking, where is my wife? he recalls.

Fortunately, he later found her safe and well. Ten people were murdered and 155 were injured in that attack. Spadas life experience has left him convinced that jihadi terrorism can be stopped. The army can do better than them, he says, noting the steep drop in such attacks since the bad old days of the second intifada. People come here to Hebron and feel safe, he says. Thats my mission.

make such dialogue chic and in vogue. When it becomes a popular cause clbre, people will begin to ask how to get involved, and his efforts will snowball. This, he believes, has already begun. However, understanding is enough without reciprocity, he says. We have to get way beyond dialogue, and that is our sign of success, he continues. The barometer of how true and authentic the dialogue is, is if Moslem leaders speak out against [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad and other antiSemitic leaders. When he saw imams, graduates of the European expansion of his North and South American programs, marching in solidarity with leaders of the Jewish community following the recent massacre that a radical Islamist wrought at Frances Ozar Hatorah school, he believed his efforts had begun to bear fruit. The essence of my work is not about dialogue. I have little patience and tolerance for an exchange of pleasantries, he explains. My work is about fighting for the other; Jews fighting for Moslems and Moslems for Jews. Several times during our conversation he repeats the same mantra: [A] people who fight for their own rights are only as honorable as those who fight for the rights of all people. As such, he explains, he expects Moslems involved in his initiative to speak out against antiSemitism and Holocaust denial, just as he expects Jews to speak out against anti-Moslem bigotry. During his conferences, for example, he says that you have to come in with a report as to what your community has done. Its not just being invited to a conference. One example of his programs results, he says, occurred several years ago, when a group of students from the Palestinian Authority on an educational trip to the U.S. visited a Holocaust museum, and both Fatah and Hamas protested to the United Nations agency that had arranged the trip. After contacting the Islamic Society of North America a group that itself has been accused of ties to terrorism Schneier says that he was able to convince the Islamic organization to protest directly, on behalf of American Islam, to the various Palestinian factions that took issue with Holocaust education. Meanwhile, as his organizations efforts at twinning mosques and synagogues and bringing communities closer together have expanded to South America, Europe, and soon Australia and New Zealand, he is now turning to Israel. During this trip, he says, he plans on meeting with senior Druze members of the government to see about twinning mosques and synagogues here in Israel. While the Druze are not, strictly speaking, Moslem, they love the concept, he says. The concept makes so much sense; even if minimally you have a rabbi speak at a mosque and an imam at a synagogue, this is in itself a significant development. Returning to his larger goal the organization of his upcoming Bahraini conference he concludes that what Id like to do is identify 10 leading rabbis around the world and 10 leading Moslem clerics and go to Bahrain, but I havent begun to think about the composition of the group yet. However, with the kings blessing, he likely will soon.
Jerusalem Post

Gibson frompage25
and powerful agent Ari Emanuel called for a Gibson boycott. When they were the only big names to speak out, former AOL Time Warner Vice Chairman Mel Adelson took out a large ad in the Los Angeles Times protesting the silence of many top Jewish Hollywood executives. But by 2011, when Warner Bros. agreed to do Judah Maccabee with Gibson, it seemed all was forgiven. Despite their support of Gibson, however, many in Hollywood also said they didnt know why Warner Bros. had decided in the first place to let Gibson make a film about Judah Maccabee, the great Jewish warrior who fought and prevailed against a Hellenistic ruler who wanted to force the Jews to renounce their faith. Sharon Waxman, a veteran correspondent for the Washington Post and the New York Times who now runs TheWrap.com, said she confronted a senior Warner Bros. executive when she first heard about the planned film. I said to him, what were you thinking? said Waxman, who was raised as an Orthodox Jew and whose site is where Eszterhas letter and an audiotape of Gibsons most recent rants were leaked. He said something about the studio believing in forgiveness. But its still a mystery to me. Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said last September that letting Gibson direct Judah Maccabee would be like casting Bernie Madoff to be the head of the Securities and Exchange. Now, he says simply, everyone should have known. This is the story of an unrepentant antiSemite whos a worldrenowned actor, Hier said. How did he get Warner Bros. to agree to do this film? I think he reached out to rabbis and

used them to soften up the studio. There are some who felt his 2006 apology was sincere. I never thought it was sincere. For now, Warner Bros. spokesman Paul McGuire said the studio is analyzing what to do with the Judah Maccabee project. But studio sources say privately that the film has been shelved. A source in Gibsons camp said Gibson is determined to move forward with Judah Maccabee on his own, financing and developing it the way he did with Passion, which became an unexpected hit. Gibson has said that hes been working on the Maccabee project for more than eight years and that it predates the 2006 DUI scandal. Jay Sanderson, who spent 25 years as a TV and documentary producer in Hollywood before becoming president of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles, said he didnt believe that Gibson has been developing the film for a long time. I would make a large wager that hes not going to make this movie, Sanderson said. Of course, the people close to Mel are going to say that hes going ahead and will make it just to show his supposed sincerity. Sanderson said Gibsons antiSemitism is legendary and no one could have been more inappropriate to make a film about Judah Maccabee. But I also understand in some ways why it happened, he said. Its a great story and this is the man who made Braveheart. Mels always had a great relationship with Warner Bros. And dont forget Hollywood is a place where people want to avoid making the wrong enemies. Mel is more of a wrong enemy. There is no star arguably less likely than Gibson to direct a film about Judah the Maccabee. Gibson belongs to a conservative sect called traditionalist Catholic that is not recognized by the Vatican in part because it adheres to Catholicism as it was
Highly Recommended

practiced before the reforms instituted by Vatican II in the early 1960s. During Good Friday services in the old liturgy, traditionalists still read a prayer in which they pray that Jews will recognize Christianity. In 2003, Gibson said there is no salvation for anyone outside the Church, including his thenwife, Robyn, a devout Episcopalian, in that category. Gibsons father, Hutton Gibson, is also a traditionalist but is associated with an even more extreme group within the sect, Sedevacantism. He is also a Holocaust denier. Gibson has never renounced his fathers views or specifically said whether or not he is a Sedevacantist, but he has said that the Holocaust did happen and that it was an atrocity. In 2006, the Southern Poverty Law Center released a report based on a three-year investigation into so-called radical traditionalist Catholics that focused on Hutton Gibson, whom they called an important player in this shadowy world. These Catholic extremists, including the Gibsons, wrote investigator Heidi Beirich, may well represent the largest population of antiSemites in the U.S. Hutton Gibson does the circuit and hes featured at a lot of events, Beirich said. Hes beloved by antiSemites, Holocaust deniers and extreme anti-government activists. Mel Gibson built his own traditionalist church in the Malibu hills that is so private and secretive that no one knows what goes on inside it, Beirich said. But we do know his views are antiSemitic, even if they dont line up with his fathers, Beirich said of Mel Gibson. The alcohol defense is ridiculous. You dont bash Jews just because you get drunk. This idea of forgiveness and giving second chances to him is [a] bad one. When you start OKing antiSemitism and racism, you end up in a very bad place. o

The Minyan In The

MOSQUE
a m s o k o l

A look at Marc Schneiers work in building bridges between the Am and the Umma

n the Dan Accadia Hotels beachfront dining room, Marc Schneier leans back and pontificates. However, he is not discussing issues of global import or tolerance, the topics that have brought this reporter to this Herzliya resort to meet with the New York-based rabbi. Whats wrong? he asks. You arent eating your breakfast. Showing his concern that a reporter eat a hearty meal while in conversation, Schneier exhibits a bit of the charisma that has drawn so many of the rich and famous to his congregation in Westhampton, Long Island. A somewhat controversial figure, he is nonetheless a formidable presence, as well as, he says, an 18th-generation rabbi. He has agreed to speak over breakfast to discuss his latest high-profile venture, a program of his Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU) aimed at bridging the gap between Jewish and Moslem communities throughout the world. Schneier a vice president of the World Jewish Congress, which actively works with his foundation is currently collaborating with King Hamad Isa al-Khalifa of Bahrain to organize the first internation-

al interfaith conference between rabbis and Moslem clerics in the Arab world, which is to take place in Manama. He says that while he came to Israel on holiday, its still a working vacation: He met with President Shimon Peres for a private consultation almost immediately after his arrival week before last. Having worked for years with hip-hop producer and Def Jam Records founder Russell Simmons his co-chair at the FFEU on African American-Jewish relations, he recalls when there came a point when Simmons told me that there is not much left to do regarding bringing about blackJewish reconciliation. Mission accomplished. Looking for his next task, Schneier decided that the No. 1 challenge in inter-religious dialogue for the Jews and one of the great challenges facing the world was bringing about a reconciliation between Jews and Moslems worldwide. While Islamic communities in the United States are markedly different from the mainstream African-American community, he says that many of the same elements arise and that the techniques he has learned in his tolerance efforts in one community extend to others as well. While his father, Arthur, is fa-

mous within the Jewish community for his work within Christian-Jewish relations and for hosting Pope Benedict XVI at the Park East Synagogue, Schneier says that there is a great difference between ChristianJewish dialogue and his own work. Judaism and Islam are more similar than Judaism and Christianity, he explains. Speaking as an Orthodox rabbi, it is [in some ways] much easier to involve Orthodox colleagues in this dialogue because you dont have the same restrictions [we] can walk into a mosque. In many respects its more inviting and welcoming, at least from the point of view [of Jewish law]. This is a fact that he says he finds an ironic twist, given many American Christians affinity for Israel, and the antipathy toward the Jewish State prevalent in many Islamic communities. Recalling the first meeting of imams and rabbis that he organized, at the imposing edifice of the Islamic Cultural Center on New Yorks wealthy Upper East Side, the rabbi says that as the first rabbi to speak in this mosque, he was overwhelmed by the number of Orthodox Jews, charedi Jews, who came to the mosque to hear me speak.

However, he says, many members of his congregation were at first reluctant to enter the mosque. Congregants asked him about issues of security and whether they would have a guard accompanying them. Ironically, he notes, many of the Moslem worshipers asked the same questions regarding the Orthodox visitors. At a certain point during the meeting, the Islamic hosts decided that it was time to pray one of the five daily services mandated in the Koran, leaving the Jewish participants to their own devices. One rabbi, Schneier wryly recounts, noted that the time for the afternoon Mincha prayer had arrived as well and, citing Jewish legal authority and philosopher Maimonides, stated that it was permitted to hold Jewish services in a mosque. As the Moslems prayed, so did their Jewish guests, only feet away. Before getting into more details regarding the programs that stemmed from this beginning, Schneier feels obliged to point out that the famous ban that his own rabbi, Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik of Yeshiva University, placed on theological discourse with others does not apply to Islam.

From the start, Schneier understood that much of his work would at first involve identifying those Moslem clerics and rabbis upon whom a foundation for future efforts could be erected. Avoiding Islamic radicals, such as community groups like the Council for American Islamic Relations, he sought out what he calls mainstream religious leaders. It is all new territory, how to define who is mainstream, he says. I had to identify the ones who would even agree to sit down. In 2007, he convened the first major summit of imams and rabbis from major cities in the U.S. and Canada. We were building up this whole foundation of MoslemJew involvement [and] needed to identify imams and rabbis who would be committed to this ongoing activity. That was [only] step one. At the conclusion of the inaugural conference, the united clerics called for an initiative in which 25 mosques would twin with synagogues. This program, which ended up beginning with over 50 mosques, enabled rabbis and imams to exchange pulpits and to introduce their communities to each other on both a leadership and

a grassroots level, Schneier believes. Calling Moslems and Jews family, he recalls that at his first meeting with the king of Bahrain arranged by the kingdoms Jewish woman ambassador to Washington, Houda Nonoo the king told him he saw the Jews as cousins and called the Middle East conflict a family spat. The king, he says, has indicated his interest in bringing more Jewish tourism into his country. The rabbi is also co-authoring a book with the Islamic Cultural Centers Imam Mohammed Shamsi Ali, provisionally entitled Jews and Moslems: Can We Trust the Other? It is trust, he asserts, that must be the basis for any future peace between Arab and Jew. While saying that he does not wish to sound Pollyannaish, he does believe that you can have all the overtures for peace between Arabs and Jews, and Moslems and Jews, and you can sign treaties tomorrow, but how do you implement and execute them if you dont trust the other? The first step in the process is for Moslems and Jews to meet one another. His second goal, he says, is to

After Great Spat, Hollywood Jews Stand By Gibson On Judah Maccabee


Dana Kennedy OLLYWOOD Jews run Hollywood, the old clich goes. So an outsider might find it strange that one of Hollywoods biggest studios, Warner Bros., agreed to make a movie about one of the Jewish worlds greatest heroes with a star known for going on antiSemitic tirades. And when the plans to film Judah Maccabee fell apart this month, igniting a feud between producer Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas that involved more accusations of antiSemitism, Hollywood again went for Mel. A number of industry figures interviewed, including lawyers, studio execs and publicists all Jewish and a number of whom come from families who survived the Holocaust or fled the Nazis defended Gibson over the Hungarian-born Eszterhas. Almost to a man, however, they declined to be quoted by name as is typical in Hollywood. Veteran producer Mike Medavoy, whose parents fled to Shanghai in the 1920s to escape the Russian pogroms, has known Gibson and Eszterhas for decades. Both have issues, he said, but he has a softer spot for Gibson. I really believe that everyone deserves a second chance, Medavoy said. I want to give Mel the benefit of the doubt. I think Mels problem is hes a lit-

A cross-section of Hollywood film industry figures overwhelmingly defend Mel Gibson over Hungarian-born screenwriter Joe Eszterhas

A source in Gibsons camp said Gibson is determined to move forward with Judah Maccabee on his own, financing and developing it the way he did with Passion, which became an unexpected hit
tle immature and cant handle his anger. Alan Nierob, Gibsons longtime publicist and the son of Holocaust survivors, has always stood by his client. The loyalty to Gibson of some in Hollywood comes despite the controversy over his controversial portrayal of Jews in the 2004 film The Passion, his rant against Jews following a drunk driving arrest in 2006, and his violent threats and accusations against an ex-companion that were leaked online in 2010. Also that year, Jewish actress Winona Ryder said that Gibson had called her an oven dodger at a party in the mid-1990s. The latest flap erupted when Eszterhas, who once was one of Hollywoods flashiest screenwriters but hasnt had a hit since 1997, accused Gibson of only pretending to be developing a movie about Judah Maccabee to help Gibsons own image in the Jewish community. Eszterhas accused Gibson of setting him up hiring him to write the script and then rejecting it not because it wasnt good, but because Gibson actually hates Jews and never wanted to make the movie in the first place.

In his detailed nine-page letter that was leaked to TheWrap. com, Eszterhas said that while working with Gibson, the star continually called Jews Hebes, and even oven dodgers and Jewboys. You said most gatekeepers of American companies were Hebes who controlled their bosses, Eszterhas wrote to Gibson. He also described Gibson as erupting in almost psychotic rages in which he railed about his ex-companion, Oksana Grigorieva, intimating he wanted her dead. Gibson wrote a letter back to Eszterhas saying that his claims were utter fabrications and threatened to sue Eszterhas for releasing the audiotapes. Gibsons defenders suggested that Eszterhas attacks were exaggerations or lies meant to deflect from Gibsons claim that Eszterhas script wasnt any good and thats why it was rejected by Warner Bros. Through Nierob, Gibson declined to be interviewed for this story. Eszterhas said for this article that he stands behind the letter I wrote to Mel. Not everyone in Hollywoods Jewish establishment has stood by Gibson. After Gibsons antiSemitic tirade in 2006, Sony Pictures co-chairwoman Amy Pascal spoke out against him

OLON, Israel The year was 1945, and Isabella Rubinstein was angry. Irma Grese, a notorious female guard at Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp where Rubinstein was a prisoner for two years, was on trial, and the survivor wanted to see her former tormentor writhing in pain. So she penned a piece describing Greses iniquity in detail, and the punishment she thought she deserved, and sent it to the Palestine Post. We, your victims, do not want you to die, read the letter addressed to Grese, which the newspaper ran in full on October 29, 1945. We would much rather that you live, as we had to, with billows of filthy black smoke from the chimneys of the crematoria constantly before your eyes. We want to see you dragging heavy stones, barefoot and in rags. We want to see you beaten, cruelly and mercilessly as you, cruel and without mercy, beat us. We want you to go so hungry that you cannot sleep at night, as we could not. We want to see your blonde hair shaved off, as you made us shave our heads. Monday before last, 66 years later, Batsheva Dagan formerly Isabella Rubinstein explained why she would not

write the same letter today. Such a letter I would not be able to write and Im amazed when I read it, said the diminutive woman in an interview held in the flower-filled living room of her apartment in Holon. Its main issue was revenge, revenge, revenge. In the decades since Dagan wrote her tirade, she has led a full and happy life. She married, raised a family, had a meaningful career as an educator and published prose and verse about her experiences during the Holocaust. Last Wednesday evening, the 87-year-old author was among the six survivors honored by lighting a torch during the State ceremony for Holocaust Remembrance Day at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Dagan is the first to admit she has been lucky. I even have a lucky number, she said and rolled up her sleeve revealing the number 45554, which the Nazis tattooed on her left arm as a means of identification. Its a palindrome. Dagan was born in 1925 in Lodz, the eighth of nine children. When the Nazis invaded Poland in September 1939, her large family scattered. One brother went to Palestine, another joined the Polish Brigade, others sought refuge in the Soviet Union. Dagan moved with

a Letter to irma grese, Published in 1945


By Schutzhaeftling No. 45554 Frau Aufseherin Grese, You are on trial and a Major Winwood is your defense counsel. I am one of your victims, by some stroke of luck, one of the few to survive, and I cannot understand why you, the terror of Oswiecim, should have been granted the protection of the law to that extent. You were responsible for the destruction of so many lives, that it is hardly possible that there can be any justification for your deeds, which brought sorrow and torture to so many thousands. You will no doubt plead that you were under orders, bound to obey the SS formation of which you were a member. But there can be no excuse for the new tortures and forms of persecution which you evolved, no justification for the way in which you gave rein to your beastly sadism. We still await the verdict. her parents and younger siblings to the relative safety of the central Polish city of Radom. My father heard they were setting up a ghetto in Lodz and You may have to face a firing squad or you may be hanged by the neck until you are dead. Even so, your victims will not consider that justice has been done. Only if you are made to suffer as you made others suffer can it be said that justice will have been done. We, your victims, do not want you to die. We would much rather that you live, as we had to, with billows of filthy black smoke from the chimneys of the crematoria. We want to see you dragging heavy stones, barefoot and in rags. We want to see you beaten, cruelly and mercilessly, as you, cruel and without mercy, beat us. We want to watch you being jeered at, as you jeered and mocked us in our despair. We want you to go so hungry that you cannot sleep at night, as we could not. We want to see your blonde hair shaved off, as you made us shave our heads. You, too, must be forced to look on while those who are dear to you are burned to death. he didnt like the sound of it, she said, so we moved to Radom and were spared being put in one for a little over a year. But in 1940, a ghetto was set We want to see you, the handsome girl, degenerate into a muselweib, a bag of skin and bones, through hunger and exhaustion, like those of us who were jeered at and called by this name. You too should be turned over to the Himmelskommando who will show you, as they showed us, the road to heaven through the gas chambers. Let them push you alive into the furnace of the crematorium, as they did with so many of us. All these things have been done to countless thousands of us, your victims. Only if they are done to you in your turn will justice have been done. You made us suffer the torments of hell. Now it is our turn to hate you and to cry out for revenge. Achtung, Frau Aufseher Grese kommt! [Attenshun! Warder Grese is coming]. I shall never forget the terror that this command struck in our hearts. I shall remember you as you strutted through the camp in your SS uniform, up in Radom and life suddenly became mean. You would not believe the deprivation, the lows that humans can sink to, she said. that enormous dog by your side which you used to love to set on us just for fun. I shall always remember your gleaming and elegant jackboots, and the way you kicked us with them. I was one of thousands. The number they gave me, No. 45554, is tattooed on my arm and will go with me to my grave. There I was, a dirty grey rag tied round my shaved head, wearing the trousers of a Red Army soldier who had been tortured to death, and a ragged shirt, bearing on it my number and a Shield of David. As you came along, I stood stiffly to attention, though my feet could scarcely bear the weight of my body, emaciated though it was I wore wooden clogs, both for the left foot and far too big. I had to wind rags around my feet and the rags were torn talleisim, the prayer shawls of my religion. The clogs tore at my feet, but the ragged talleisim tore at my heart. What did you care about all this? You walked through our lines like a tyrant, Dagan joined the ghettos resistance movement and on one occasion traveled under the guise of a gentile to Warsaw where she personally delivered your hands gloved so as not to come into contact with us even when you whipped us. Did you never feel the burning hate that smoldered in the thousands of eyes fixed upon you? By some good fortune I escaped the gas chambers and the Himmelskommando. I am alive and free. I look like an ordinary human being again. Even my hair has grown. I wear shoes that fit, socks of the same color, clean linen and an ordinary frock, without stripes, without a number and without the Shield of David. But on my arm I still carry my prison number 45554 for no one and nothing can erase that. I am not ordered to go at the double. I am not guarded by a sentry. I am free to come and go as I will. Sometimes I wake while it is still dark, thinking for a few brief seconds that I have to be on parade at 6 a.m. But, thanks be to G-d, those days have gone.

about to be liquidated, she escaped using fake documents. She took on the identity of a nonJewish maid and went to work for a family in Germany. I worked for a fervently Nazi family where I took care of two teenagers, she recalled. Many years after the war I met them in Hamburg. The daughter was very cold to me, but the son was warm. They could not believe I survived. Her ruse did not last long. Her real identity was discovered by the Gestapo and she was sent to Auschwitz in April 1943. There, she survived the worst horrors imaginable. She was given tasks like collecting prickly nettles, which were used to make tea, barehanded, and removing precious items from the bodies of those killed in the gas chambers. She survived by

relying on the camaraderie of a group of eight women and a strict regimen of self-discipline. The most important thing was the suspension of gratification, she said. Those who ate everything they had did not last but those who put a little on the side did better. When the Red Army approached Auschwitz in January 1945, Dagan was forced on a death march to Germany, where she worked at two labor camps. Liberation came only in April 1945. After the war Dagan quickly made aliyah thanks to her husband, a British army soldier she met in Brussels. She was one of the first survivors of the Holocaust to arrive in Palestine, where she caught word of the trial of Grese, her former captor at Auschwitz. I wanted to travel to Germany to testify but the British, who ruled at the time, would not give me a travel certificate, she said. So the Palestine Posts editor found me and asked me to write for them. It was a fire-andbrimstone piece. I could not write [something like that] today. Back then the urge for vengeance sought some release . . . nowadays I look for the human connection and I do not blame the younger generation for the sins of

their parents or grandparents. The incendiary letter to the Post was the first in her literary career. She later wrote, in a much more subdued tone, childrens books like Chika The Dog in the Ghetto and Today the Siren Cried. Dagan also wrote a collection of poems called Imagination: Blessed Be, Cursed Be, which was translated into English. Before my time is up I would very much like to see a new edition of one of my books appear, said the octogenarian, who is in good health. She said she loves life and is willing to subscribe forever. Despite the ordeals she lived through the murder of her parents and siblings, the torture by the Nazis in the ghetto and the death camps, all of which she says is painful to speak of to this day she remains an optimist. Rubinstein, who sought an eye-for-an-eye punishment for Grese, has been mollified by Dagan, whose message of optimism permeates her writing. The Holocaust is not only horror, said Dagan. When I wrote for children about the Holocaust I had to give them a happy ending, and so I did. My stories always have a happy end.

ing whipped to within an inch of my life. And . . . I again have a name, a first name and a surname. Once more I am Isabella, or Miss Rubinstein. Only the blue mark on my arm reminds me that I was once No. 45554. You are in the dock, Warder Grese, and evidence is being given for and against you. I could fill a book with the list of your crimes. Let me remind you of only one of them, not the worst of them, but typical. Do you remember a day in June 1943? It was at Camp Birkmann, Block 14. On one side of the square the Aryan women were lined up, and on the other, the Jewesses. B eh i nd u s t here wa s a bench where a few women were sitting, so broken in body and spirit that they could not stand on parade. As you passed, one of the poor wretched creatures made an involuntary gesture of fear. You, Irma Grese, made out that she tried to kick you. That she, poor victim of the Nazi terror, should have tried to kick you, the mistress of life

and death for her, what a cruel joke! Do you remember what you did to her? You pushed her into the middle of the square, though she could scarcely walk. You made her kneel on the flagstones, made her hold two heavy pieces of rock above her head, made her repeat incessantly I kicked the Warder! I kicked the Warder! I was so frightened that I couldnt count how many strokes of your whip you gave her. Perhaps you remember. Then your friend Ritter of the SS came along. He began to kick her in the face with his spurred jackboots, until the blood ran. Then you shouted, Get up, you . . . and let the woman go back to her cell. Two weeks later she was dead. You have forgotten all these things. You plead mitigating circumstances as you stand on trial. The eyes of the world are fixed on Lueneburg, awaiting the verdict. But your victims have already passed judgment on you. We sentence you to live and suffer as we did, and never again to see the light of freedom.

You can enjoy a kosher burger and beer and watch the Superbowl at Mikes Place in Jerusalem. 60. Even the dogs in the IDF get kosher-for-Passover dog food. 61. A new Israeli GPS system called Waze is sweeping the world. Its a communitydriven application and learns from users driving times to provide routing and real-time traffic updates. Waze can even help you beat the national traffic jam at Golani Junction during Passover. 62. Whats the national mood despite the nuclear threat? Three million Israelis were out traveling in Israel on Passover (many through the Golani Junction). 63. The country held its breath as Gilad Shalit emerged to freedom. Was there a dry eye? 64. Gilad Shalit celebrated Passover, the holiday of freedom, at home with his family. Happy 64th to Israel! May the future bring many more reasons to rejoice. o

Editorial frompg.12
perative that Western democracies do their utmost to meticulously abide at the very least by these feeble strictures. Otherwise, they are a lost cause and little more than a cover-up for scandalous inaction. Switzerland imports Iranian oil indirectly, but Swiss energy giant Elektrizittsgesellschaft Laufenburg had proceeded with a projected pipeline to transport the fuel via Turkey. Previously it signed a mega-deal to import more than five billion cubic meters annually of Iranian natural gas valued at 18 billion euros. This wasnt the private vagary of an insubordinate firm. It was sponsored with fanfare by the Swiss government itself. Then-Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey mounted a pilgrimage to Iran to witness the 2008 signing of that momentous gas-supply contract. Sporting a sheer white head scarf, she accorded the

transaction her governments stamp of approval and lent the occasion high profile, prestige and legitimacy. An unrepentant Calmy-Rey intoned that that Switzerland is an independent country which has its own strategic interests to defend. To this must be added Switzerlands prolific lip service to its much-vaunted neutrality. It is imperative, especially considering Switzerlands sullied World War II history, for it to stay mindful that neutrality cannot possibly justify inaction in the face of evil. In such circumstanc-

es, the claim of neutrality facilitates evil, such as Irans genocidal plot. Inaction can be tantamount to complicity. Sanctions are imposed to make it difficult for a regime that endangers world peace to carry on unhindered. That is their objective. Money is fungible. Whatever isnt denied Tehran given the tyrannical nature of the regime could well go to funding terrorism or nuclear weapons development. The Swiss are not that naive. They are nobodys fools. They should not make fools of the rest of the world. n

Religious Streams Join In Appeal To Release Pollard


Gil Hoffman ERUSALEM In a display of unity, representatives of the Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jewish movements all renewed their calls over last weekend for President Barack Obama to commute Israeli agent Jonathan Pollards life sentence to the 26Z\x years he has already served. In their appeals to Obama, the Jewish leaders threw their weight behind an official request from Israeli President Shimon Peres to Obama in which he formally asked that Pollard be immediately released. Peres is scheduled to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama on June 13. Some 47,000 people have signed a petition urging Peres to use his influence and standing in Washington to ensure that Pollard is released before the medal ceremony. The calls for Pollards release came from the Union for Reform Judaism, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the

idents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which is the central coordinating body representing 51 Jewish organizations on issues of national and international concern, also contacted Obama and renewed its clemency call for Pollard. In his letter to Obama, Rabbi David Zweibel, Agudath Israels executive vice president, expressed deep dismay at the White House taking its time in responding to the numerous clemency requests that have been made for Pollards release. The letter noted that Pollards failing health injects a note of urgency into the situation that requires a swift response to his own formal clemency request that was filed nearly two years ago. Whatever the ordinary protocol and timetable for the pro-

cessing of commutation of sentence applications, humanitarian considerations dictate that Mr. Pollards dire health status should prompt an expedited review of his application, Zweibel said. His medical condition is serious and has been deteriorating for some time, as many people who have visited him recently have testified. Under these circumstances, allowing the review process on his commutation application to stretch on indeterminately seems particularly cruel. The Union for Reform Judaism, which represents more than 900 congregations and an estimated 1.5 million Jews and has built up a close relationship with Obama, found itself in the rare situation of agreeing with Agudath Israel, though its pres-

ident, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, used more cautious language in his letter. We respectfully request that the Obama Administration heed Israeli President Peres request that President Obama grant Jonathan Pollard clemency on humanitarian grounds, Jacobs wrote. We urge immediate clemency so that he may be surrounded by his loved ones while trying to recover from a grave illness that put him in the hospital over the Passover holiday. Clemency is both the just and compassionate response in this situation. Conference of Presidents leaders Richard Stone and Malcolm Hoenlein wrote Obama about their recent visit to Pollard and the impression his poor health made on them. President Peres is a cautious and judicious person and his letter comes only after much deliberation, Stone and Hoenlein wrote. We appreciate your kind consideration of his request which we strongly support. Peres formal request to Obama two weeks ago came days after Pollard became extremely ill and was rushed from his North Carolina prison cell to an outside hospital for emergency medical treatment. Esther Pollard, Jonathans wife, met with Peres and issued an impassioned plea for his assistance in ensuring that her husband would be released, rather than being returned to prison, following his hospitalization. But Pollard returned to the prison days later and Obama has issued no formal response to Peres request.

IDF Rejects Request For Earplugs When Women Sing


Religious soldiers denied option of using earplugs in ceremonies in which women sing
Jeremy Sharon ERUSALEM Several religious soldiers requested last week to wear earplugs or listen to MP3 players during a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in which women were singing, as well as for ceremonies later for Remembrance Day and Independence Day. The army refused the request but said that the soldiers could take a book of Psalms into the ceremony to read from if they wished. The issue of religious soldiers being present in ceremonies with women singing exploded in September last year, when four soldiers were expelled from an officers course for refusing to return to an event in which women were singing.

sequently issued a directive in January obligating all soldiers, religious or otherwise, to be present in all official army ceremonies even if they involve women singing. Halacha generally prohibits men from listening to a woman sing in person. Initially reported by the Galei Israel radio station, the group of approximately 10 soldiers who requested to use earplugs or MP3 players are currently in basic training and are serving in a field intelligence unit. The IDF confirmed the details of the story. They enlisted within the hesder framework, through which national-religious men combine army service with yeshiva study. The soldiers who made the request are from the Or Etz-

ion Hesder Yeshiva, headed by Rabbi Chaim Druckman, a prominent national-religious figure. Separately, leading national-religious Rabbi Dov Lior, municipal rabbi of Hebron and Kiryat Arba, ruled on Sunday that men should not attend theater performances in which women perform, even if the women do not sing and are dressed modestly. According to Lior, who was writing in response to a question on the Yeshiva.org website, attending such events are not compatible with the Jewish concept of modesty. Following the opening in September of a cultural center in Kiryat Arba, Lior said that only performances of educational merit or national values should be staged.

S E D R A H

By Rabbi Shlomo Riskin

and holiday the . . thoughts for discerning mind.

World Conscience n this Sabbath, after Holo c au st R e membrance Day and Remembrance Day for Israels Fallen Soldiers, I am plagued by a timeless Jewish question: Why Jewish suffering? It was bad enough before the rise of the Jewish State and the miraculous success of the Six-Day War, when every Jew identified with Sholem Aleichems Tevye who, upon hearing the sudden decree of the mayor of Anatevka expelling the Jewish population, began to address G-d: My father in heaven, just explain to me why. Because we are the Chosen people? Well then, G-d, the next time you make a choice, dont do us any favors; choose someone else instead! But now the question has become far more agonizing. We are not only f linging accusations at G-d for the events of the Holocaust, we are also querying Theodor Herzl, founder of modern Zionism, who believed that with the Jewish return to normalcy within our own State, antiSemitism would disappear. Sixty-four years later, we are still smarting from the topsyturvy, mad-hatter accusations of a Goldstone Report condemning suicide-bomber and Kassam rocket victims for disproportionate self-defense. We are suffering from anti-Israel Apartheid Week, during which claims are made that the one country which gives its Moslem citizens men and women alike the equality they deserve is guilty of the

heinous crimes of pre-Mandela South Africa. Our opponents argue that we who have always been willing to compromise and have always recognized Palestinian rights are the intransigent ones in a conflict wherein the Arab world (which has yet to recognize our right to a Jewish State anywhere in the Middle East) seriously maintains that we have no historical claim to the Temple Mount! I believe that from a biblical, theological perspective, Jewish suffering and world condemnation of our People hark back to G-ds covenant with Abraham, our initial election and mission. Some readers m ight remember the short verse published in Readers Digest by arch antiSemite Louis Untermeyer during the Second World War; How odd of G-d to choose the Jews. The response, published only in the Jewish Spectator, was given by Maurice Samuel: It was not odd; the Jews chose G-d. And the Jews didnt only choose G-d; they chose ethical monotheism! As the Bible testifies, G-d declares Himself (as it were) to have known, loved and chosen Abraham because only Abraham was prepared to teach compassionate, righteousness and moral justice to his household after him (Genesis 18:19). And G-d warns Abraham from the beginning that being the People of the Covenant will not be simple. At the cutting of the covenant (Gen. 15), three animals are bisected, symbolic of the animalistic nations achieving dominion over the world, but eventually being vanquished. A deep sleep then falls

upon Abraham, a great black fear and then a pigeon and turtle dove emerge unscathed! The birds are the Jewish messengers, with their message of compassionate righteousness and moral justice soon to be distilled into the Ten Commandments our moral mission for the world. And the Midrash points out that the Hebrew word Sinai sounds almost exactly like sina, or hatred; because of the moral message of Sinai the divine demand for freedom for all, the absolute prohibition against murder of innocents, and the inviolability of every person the nations would come to hate us and attempt to get rid of the messenger. But thats the price of our election. And through us, all the nations of the world will be blessed (Gen. 12:3) because unless the world understands that the murder of innocents must not be condoned, that suicide bombers must not be called freedomfighters, that even the most powerful must be monitored and their ability to wreak destruction limited in our global village, there wont be a free world left for our children to enjoy. Until Israel succeeds in spreading the message of the Ten Commandments, we as the heart and conscience of the nations will be the first to suffer the consequences of evil running amok. We are the suffering servant of Isaiah 53. With the reestablishment of our State, we have returned to center stage of history after 2,000 years. May we be worthy of our t ask. o

Go To Bed On Time: Study Mimics Night Shift To Link Diabetes, Poor Sleep
People who regularly sleep too little and at the wrong time suffer long-lasting consequences that a nap wont cure
Just how unhealthy is it? Consider how sleep may play a role in the nations diabetes epidemic. Studies have long shown that people who sleep fewer than five hours a night have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, the kind that tends to strike later in life. Rotating shift work three or more night shifts a month interspersed with day or evening hours raises the risk, too, says a recent report from researchers who analyzed years of medical records from the huge Nurses Health Study. Diet and physical activity are big factors in Type 2 diabetes. Certainly its harder to work out or choose an apple over a doughnut when youre tired, especially at 3 a.m. when your bodys internal clock knows you should be sleeping. well-rested. But for three of those weeks, they were allowed only about 5Z\x hours of sleep every 24 hours at varying times of the day or night, to mimic a bad shift rotation or prolonged jet lag. That knocked out of whack the bodys circadian rhythm, a master biological clock that regulates such patterns as when we become sleepy and how body temperature rises and falls. What happened was startling: Blood sugar levels increased after meals, sometimes to pre-diabetic levels, because the pancreas stopped secreting enough insulin, Buxton reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. At the same time, the volunteers metabolic rate slowed by eight percent. The researchers had them on a diet so they didnt gain weight but Buxton says typically, a metabolism drop of that size could mean gaining 10to-12 pounds over a year. The results make sense, says Dr. Michael Thorpy, sleep center director at New Yorks Montefiore Medical Center and a neurology professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. If were going to spend a third of our day sleeping, theres got to be a good reason for it, says Thorpy, who notes that diabetes is far from the only worry. Up to 70 million Americans are estimated to suffer from chronic problems with sleep, from insomnia to sleep apnea. Impaired sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, depression, memory impairment and a weakened immune system. Still another concern: The World Health Organization has classified nightshift work as a probable carcinogen, because too much light at night may hamper a hormone involved both with sleep and suppressing tumor cells.

WASHINGTONnightMore people pull the shift. Teens text past midnight and stumble to class at dawn.Travelers pack red-eye flights. Nodding off behind the wheel isnt the only threat from a lack of shut-eye. Theres growing evidence that people who regularly sleep too little and at the wrong time suffer long-lasting consequences that a nap wont cure: An increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. We have a societal conspiracy for sleep deprivation, says Russell Sanna of Harvard Medical Schools sleep medicine division, who attended a TEDMED conference this month where scientists called sleep loss one of health cares big challenges.

NEWS
But a study just published shows sleep plays a more complex role than that. As sleep drops and normal biological rhythms are disrupted, your body physically changes in ways that can help set the stage for diabetes, reports neuroscientist Orfeu Buxton of Bostons Brigham and Womens Hospital. Buxtons team had 21 healthy volunteers spend almost six weeks living in a laboratory where their diet, physical activity, sleep and even the light was strictly controlled. The volunteers started out Starting off the new year with

Dont people adjust to the night shift if theyre on it long enough? Buxton says rotating shifts probably are most worrisome. In his study, the volunteers bodies went back to normal after nine nights of sufficient sleep at the right time. No one knows how long it takes before sleep deprivation and an offkilter biological clock may cause permanent damage. Montefiores Thorpy says natural night owls seem to adapt better to night shifts, but that people never fully adapt if they swing back to daytime schedules on their days off. Also, about 30 percent of regular night workers have trouble sleeping during their off hours or are particularly fatigued, he says, something termed shift-work disorder. The consumer message: The National Institutes of Health says adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep daily for good health. If you work nights, go straight to bed when you get home, Buxton advises. Avoid too much light along the way. Thorpy says wearing yellow- or orange-tinted sunglasses on the drive home can block short-wavelength blue light that triggers wakefulness. Let natural light help keep your biological sleep clock on schedule, advises Harvards sleep-education website. For most people, sunlight in the morning is key. For the night shift, more bright light in the evening shifts peoples internal clock, Buxton explains. For anyone, a sleep-inducing bedroom is one thats dark, quiet and cool. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and stressful situations near bedtime. Electronics right before bed arent advised, either. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day also helps. o

FDA Wants Limits On Antibiotics Given To Animals


Antibiotics are routinely mixed with feed to help livestock and chickens put on weight
P e r r o n e M a t t h e w

companies to help limit the use of antibiotics in farm animals, a decades-old practice that scientists say has contributed to a surge in dangerous, drugresistant bacteria. Antibiotic drugs like penicillin are routinely mixed with animal feed and water to help livestock and chickens put on weight and stay healthy in crowded feeding lots. Scientists have warned that such use leads to the growth of antibiotic-resistant germs that can be passed on to humans. The FDA has struggled for decades with how to tackle the problem because the powerful agriculture industry argues the drugs are a key part of modern meat production. Under the new FDA guidelines, the agency recommends antibiotics be used judiciously, or only when necessary to keep animals healthy. The agency also wants to require a veterinarian to prescribe the drugs. They can currently be purchased over-the-counter by farmers. Now you have a veterinarian who will be consulting and providing advice to these producers, and we feel that is an important element to assure that they are in fact using these drugs appropriately, said William Flynn, a deputy director in FDAs veterinary medicine center. The draft recommendations by the FDA are not binding, and the agency is asking drug manufacturers to voluntarily put the proposed limits in place. Drug companies would need to adjust the labeling of their antibiotics to remove so-called production uses of the drugs. Production

uses include increased weight gain and accelerated growth, which helps farmers save money by reducing feed costs. The FDA hopes drug makers will phase out language promoting non-medical uses within three years. This is the most sweeping action the agency has undertaken in this area, as this covers all antibiotics used in meat and poultry production that are important to human health, said Laura Rogers, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts campaign on industrial farming. But some public health advocates said they do not trust the drug industry to voluntarily restrict its own products. FDA officials said that a formal ban would have required individual hearings for each drug, which could take decades. The process we would have to go through is a formal hearing process, product-by-product that is extremely cumbersome, said Mike Taylor, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods. Theres no point in going through those legalistic proceedings when companies are willing to make this shift voluntarily. Taylor said the FDA has consulted closely with drug makers, and expects them to support the measures. An estimated 80 percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. wind up on animal farms. Neither industry nor the government track what percentage of those drugs is used to boost animal weight, but many experts believe the vast majority go toward non-medical uses. The debate over antibiotics has long pitted the benefits for producing safe, low-cost meat against the risk of contributing to dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can infect humans. FDA officials said the scientific literature supports the role that indiscriminate use of antibiotics plays in reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics in humans. We think the science is very solid to support this effort

to address these issues, Taylor said. The rollout from FDA comes at an unusual time in the agencys attempts to curb antibiotic use in animals. Last month a federal court judge ordered the agency to take action on its own 35-year-old rule that would have banned non-medical use of two popular antibiotics, penicillin and tetracycline, in farm animals. The FDA issued the rule in

1977 but never enforced it, following vigorous pushback from members of Congress and lobbyists for farmers and drug makers. Four public-safety groups sued the agency to act on the regulation, winning the case handed down in the U.S. District Court of Southern New York on March 22. The agency was given 60 days to appeal the decision. FDAs Taylor said he believes the voluntary guidelines can achieve the same goal as the court ruling in less time. The waning effectiveness of antibiotics has been a global health concern for several

decades, attracting the attention of the World Health Organization, the Institute of Medicine and other medical groups. As bacteria have grown more resistant, new and more deadly forms of malaria, staph and other infections that were once easily treatable have emerged across the globe. Experts say overuse of antibiotics in both animals and humans has contributed to the problem. Both medical societies and government agencies have launched educational programs designed to educate physicians on appropriate prescribing of antibiotics. o

ince 2004, Ive given some 475 different reasons I love Israel. In honor of Independence Day and Israels 64th Anniversary, here are 64 more. 1. Because of their experience, Hebrew University veterinary neurologists were summoned to heal a paralyzed lion in Brazil, a country with an area of 8.5 million square kilometers and a population of 192 million. The lions name was Ariel, a synonym for Jerusalem. 2. We can laugh at ourselves. The prime minister enjoyed the Bibi-bomb photos which placed him at famous celebrations or monumental historic events, and even created his own. 3. The government sent a sarcastic letter to Flytilla activists, thanking them for choosing to protest in democratic Israel rather than in Syria, where daily savagery pervades. 4. An Israeli cartoonist won the Golden Keg 2012 international contest in Presov, Slovakia, for cartoons about beer. 5. British beer-writer of the year lauded the incredible breadth of Israeli beer styles. Winner of the competition he judged was the underdog Jerusalem Shapiro Brewery. 6. Sabra Israeli mathematician Elon Lindenstrauss won the prestigious Fields Medal, sometimes called the Nobel Prize of mathematics. Today hes a professor at the Hebrew University, but in the IDF he served in intelligence. 7. A conference was held in Jerusalem to announce that the ancient balsam plant grown 1,500 years ago near the Dead Sea is growing again at Kibbutz Ein Gedi. 8. As the sun begins setting on the winding road up to Jerusalem, cars stop by the side of the road so that people can recite the afternoon prayer. Sometimes enough people stop for there to be a minyan (a quorum of 10). 9. So many parents were supervising kids on a hot summer day in Jerusalems Sacher Park that someone organized a minyan for the afternoon prayer. 10. My grandkids cant understand how we didnt have their favorite olive pizza in America when we were growing up. 11. Israeli school backpacks may be heavy, but they come with removable wheels. 12. The winner of the A Star is Born singing contest comes

Reasons I Love Israel, 2012

We can laugh at ourselves. As long as we laugh together . . .

from a town under fire, Sderot, and from a family that crossed Sudan on foot. 13. So did the family of Eli Mantson, a seventh-grade school dropout who sold lentils in an open-air market. Today hes a lawyer, one of several law graduates from Ethiopia. 14. Prof. Dan Engelhard, head of pediatrics at Hadassah Ein Kerem, has now adopted five orphanages in Ethiopia to treat HIV/AIDS kids there. He does this as a volunteer. 15. On the morning before Yom Kippur, the lifeguard at Ashdod beach wishes everyone Tzom Kal, an easy fast. 16. On the day after Passover, flag sellers are on street junctions hawking blue-and-white flags for your car, one for five shekels, three for 10. 17. In the Land of Milk and Honey, the high price of cottage cheese led to a national consumers revolt. 18. The Cottage Cheese Protest took off after Shavuos, when we eat cheesecake and quiches. Buying so many milk products, we realized the price had skyrocketed. 19. Ubiquitous frozen yogurt

stands offer toppings of Pesek Zman (Time-Out) candy bars, dates and pomegranates. 20. Kabbalah tourism is burgeoning. The mystical experience is often referred to as entering the garden of pomegranates. 21. A new kitchen tool won first prize in the Innovation Awards: it gets the seeds out of a pomegranate. 22. The opening item on the radios medical program mentions that its the anniversary of the death of Rachel, the biblical Matriarch, and that some of the regular listeners are on the way to Mother Rachels grave in Bethlehem. 23.AnIsraeliproducer-director won the Golden Emmy for a documentary called Google Baby, about surrogate pregnancies. She was pregnant when she picked up her award. 24. Once there was an Iron Curtain. Now National Geographic readers in Mother Russia have listed Israel as a top tourist attraction. 25. The two most visited sites are the Western Wall and the grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. The most popular tourist attraction is Masada. 26. Who said it? We are free thinkers; this is the Israeli spirit. Dan Schechtman, a Technion professor who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. He showed that atoms in quasicrystals were packed together in well-defined patterns, but that they were unique and non-repeating. 27. Nobel Prize Winner Schechtman was born in Tel Aviv in pre-State Israel. He was inspired by a book he read as a boy, Jules Vernes Mysterious Island, in which an engineer changes uninhabited

territory into a lush garden. 28. According to the Technion, Schechtman was the most unpopular scientist in crystals. He teaches young scientists that its not enough to know your field, you also need faith. 29. Yad Vashem, Israels Holocaust Museum and educational activist, recently uploaded thousand of stories of rescues by righteous gentiles to show that even in times of war and tyranny, women and men retain the innate right and ability to act upon moral precepts. 30. Elbit subsidiary company Brightway Vision is adapting military night-vision technology to the battle against road accidents by producing a system to improve drivers night vision. 31. Memorial Day for the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin is commemorated by soldiers singing Israeli songs.

32. Two long-time Talmud study partners didnt realize they went to the same hairdresser until they met there one day. While one woman waited for the other to have her hair cut, the hairdresser reviewed the Torah study class hed just come from. 33. Were an argumentative people. Brothers Omer and Sela Nevo from Tel Aviv University won the World Universities Debating Championships in the English as Second Language category in Manila, Philippines. More than 3,000 teams from around the world participated in the competition. (Wonder if their parents ever told them to stop arguing?) 34. During the eight-day festival, Egged buses display Happy Chanukah signs. 35.OnChanukah,Aromagives out gold-wrapped Chanukah gelt with cappuccino. 36. On Independence Day, Aroma gives out candies in blue-and-white wrappers. 37. In New York and Los Angeles, those Israelis yearning for a taste of home can get it at an Aroma caf. 38. Advertisements for exercise programs promise to counter the damage of eating sufganiot, Chanukah donuts. 39. Cultural fusion. On December 25, three Moslem stone craftsmen from Bethlehem were working on the elevator portals of new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Tower of Hadassah University MedicalCenter,EinKerem.When they met the Jewish tourists from Puerto Rico they wished them a Merry Xmas. 40. While swimming in the Jerusalem Pool, my friend relayed the Torah thought shed heard earlier that day from her Pilates teacher. Theres always a dvar Torah to begin the class, she says. 41. At Jerusalem shopping malls, hundreds stop for the nightly Chanukah candle lighting. Many shops have candles burning inside, too. 42. Four teenaged boys in
