The Jews Down Under
A new slant on Dubai killing.
MELBOURNE,10 March – The article below was written by Paul Howes, National Secretary of the Australian Workers Union, who has always been a strong supporter of Israel.
It's fascinating how one word can change so dramatically the meaning of one sentence.
Since the allegations emerged surrounding the use of Australian passports in the assassination of Hamas arms smuggler Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai
it's interesting to read how different Australian journalists have referred to the man.
Some journalists and commentators have taken to referring to al-Mabhouh as a "Palestinian militant" implying therefore, that he, and indeed Hamas, as a whole are some kind of national liberation movement – not unlike Fretilin in East
Timor or the American revolutionaries of 1776.
It's unfortunate that so few of them seem to have sat down and read Hamas' own weird, extreme conspiracy theory, fascist racist charter.
Amongst other things, the charter repeatedly names the Freemasons, Lions and Rotary clubs as Zionist fronts, saying that all are actually spying outfits using Jewish money to take control of the world and make movies and create other PR
events to, amongst other things, undermine the morality of the good Muslim woman!
So categorising al-Mabhouh and Hamas as "militants" or "national liberation fighters" is not just plain wrong, it provides a cover for Hamas to hide the reality of this ugly Islamo-fascist terrorist organisation under the cloak of international law.
Let's be clear: the death of al-Mabhouh is a positive outcome for those who believe in peace and justice.
Yes, I accept that a liberal conscience will worry about the compelling moral arguments against extrajudicial killings.
But we're talking about a man who has turned Palestinian children into human bombs to murder and terrorise Israeli civilians, not to mention the terror Hamas has waged against Palestinians who are deeply worried about Hamas' fundamentalism being imposed by authoritarian diktat.
Al-Mahbouh and his Damascus military faction are said to be responsible for undermining the negotiations between Israel and Hamas to release
the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The question of the use of Australian passports in the operation in Dubai raises many issues for the Australian Government.
Traditionally, Australia has been a loyal friend of Israel, no matter which party is in
government. This is something that should make us all proud.
Some have argued that if Israel has illegally used Australian passports, this is not the action of a friend. Maybe.
But in my view, friends stand by each other in the good times and the bad, and a friend is someone who lends a hand when the going gets tough.
That's why I'm proud that our nation has played a small, and accidental role, in the removal of the terrorist al-Mabhouh from our planet.
Many may say that's to be expected of a pro-Israeli. But it should be clear that
al-Mabhouh's death is quietly welcomed by the vast majority of the moderate Arab world.
Al-Mabhouh will be mourned only in the capitals of the despotic Middle East regimes such as Iran and Syria.
Many anti-Israel activists around the world, and in Australia, have seized on the passport issue to develop a new front to push their anti-Israeli propaganda. That, too, is to be expected.
But Australians shouldn't fall for the giant lie they are pushing. Israelis are actually allied with a clear majority of the Arab world fighting a war against the forces of anti-democratic Islamo-fascism.
The world defeated Nazism. Now the world must support those countries fighting Islamo-fascism.
It is a war that is being fought on the streets of Tehran, where democratic forces battle that Islamic dictatorship; it's being fought on the streets of Gaza, after Hamas launched their coup there; it's being fought in Lebanon against Hezbollah and in the mountains of Afghanistan against the remains of al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The fighters had a small victory in a Dubai hotel.
The Australian Government has a responsibility to protect Australian interests abroad and while some may say the possible illegal use of Australian passports in the Dubai operation is against our national interests, I say they are wrong.
It is in our nation's interest and the interests of the world as a whole, to ensure democracy, liberty and freedom thrives.
It is in our interest to ensure that a free, secular and healthy democratic Palestinian state is created.
It is in our interest to ensure that when private citizens leave their homes and go to work or school that they don't have to fear suicide bombers will kill them.
This is not an easy war to fight, or to win. It has to be fought in many different theatres.
But it is in our interest to ensure that all human beings regardless of their sex, race,
religion, sexual orientation and political belief can live their lives free from persecution or harassment.
Hamas and al-Mabhouh stand against all these values – values we hold dear.
Therefore, it is in our nation's interest to do whatever we can to remove these vile people from power – by any means necessary.

Fourth Australian identity in Dubai assassinationMELBOURNE, 9 March – Interpol yesterday named the 27th suspect in the case – Joshua Aaron Krycer – as they issued arrest warrants over the January murder.
An arrest warrant for the person pretending to be Joshua Krycer was issued – he was the only "new" person added to the 26 suspects already named by Dubai police.
The real Joshua Krycer lives in Israel, having moved from Melbourne three years ago.
He works at one of Jerusalem's largest hospitals, the Shaare Zedeck Medical Centre, where he is a certified speech therapist.
The hospital's website says Mr Krycer is an expert in speech therapy and swallowing difficulties and offers diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and recommendation for continued care after discharge from the hospital.
Tackling the injustice of agonot
MELBOURNE, 10 March – Orthodox rabbis have met with Jewish women's rights advocates to discuss the anomaly of agunot– women whose husbands will
not grant them a Jewish divorce.
The meeting was held in Melbourne last week between the Rabbinical Council of Victoria (RCV) and the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia (NCJWA) – and the person who brought them together was Israeli lawyer Sharon Shenhav,
an advocate for women's justice within Jewish law.
Following the meeting, Shenhav said she was pleased that local rabbis are taking the plight of agunot seriously through the recent introduction of pre-nuptial agreements.
"Agunot are absolutely still relevant and a problem," she said of the phenomenon, which has lasted for centuries.
She heard from the rabbis, who represented Chabad, Mizrachi and modern Orthodox congregations, that the pre-nuptial agreements which must be strongly recommended to all couples married by an Orthodox rabbi in Victoria have
been issued more than 600 times already, with only one couple expressing disagreement with the document.
During her trip to Australia as NCJWA scholar-in residence, Shenhav met with people who are or who know an agunah, including one woman whose husband disappeared 57 years ago.
Shanhav said pre-nuptials are an important step forward, but that Australia is behind the times in bringing them in. Israel has had them for more than two decades, mainstream Orthodox American couples have been signing them for 20 years and they have been in place in Britain for at least a decade.
"It's nothing new, but I am delighted Australian rabbis have taken to it."
At last year's RCV AGM, former president Rabbi Meir Shlomo Kluwgant advocated for pre-nuptial agreements to become compulsory. He was defeated though, largely by some of the older rabbis.
However Shanhav was unwilling to blame the older generation for dragging their feet on agunot.
"It [the meeting] crossed all age groups and all showed genuine concern about the problem."
Current RCV head Rabbi Yaakov Glasman spoke compassionately of women who find themselves unable to break free of a troublesome marriage.
"It is our sincere hope that the women who are suffering as a result of this issue will be freed without further delay, and the RCV is working hard to pre-empt such cases occurring in the future," he said.
Cycle club gets star recruit
MELBOURNE, 11 March – Matt Sherwin is in the top handful of club cyclists in Victoria. He hasconsistently been at the peak of the A-grade competition in recent years, and is a walk-up start at any club in the state.
So his choice to saddle up for the fledgling Maccabi Cycling Club (MCC) is remarkable.
His decision wasn't based on the standard of cyclists at the Maccabi club — there are few riders that can go with him — nor was it a choice based on prestige or resources.
MCC is a club on the move. It is one of the fastest-growing Maccabi clubs and while it has been developing exponentially since its inception late last year — thanks to an explosion in the sport's popularity among Melbourne Jews — it is
still very much in its infancy.
In fact, Sherwin's motivation for choosing Maccabi isn't really based on competition at all.
"Cycling offers so much more than a competitive element," Sherwin said.
"It offers a lot of social interaction andcamaraderie. Then there's the fitness element .there's so many benefits for such a wide range of people. Cycling's not confined to the racing element."
Time and again, Jewish athletes have abandoned the Maccabi movement as they approach the elite level, but as a proud member of Melbourne's Jewish community, this was not a consideration for Sherwin, who is dedicated to growing the sport at the grassroots level.
Prior to joining Maccabi, Sherwin was racing for the Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club, the biggestclub of its kind in Australia and one of the biggest in the world. In 2007, he spent a year in the US, racing for professional team Sakonnet Technology.
"It was a bit of a decision to move across, but supporting the community was a big motivator," Sherwin said during a recent interview
"I wanted to help promote the club because it's a very tough market out there. I wanted to give abit of exposure to the club to help get it off the ground."
Maccabi Cycling was launched in August last yearand caters to all riders. It will launch a juniordevelopment team later this year and already has around 80 members. Late last month, the club rodefor a charity event through Marysville to help raise money for victims of the Black Saturday bushfires.
In Maccabi colours, Sherwin is a near-permanent fixture in the top five and, in January, wasasked to compete in the Jayco Bay Criterium Series – one of the fastest criterium races in the world – as part of a team comprising riders from Canberra and Victoria.
Sherwin has now turned his attention to making the jump from club level to open level, and plans to compete overseas again.
"I'm probably at a level in between the professionals we have in Australia and the restof the world and club level. The next step is very difficult because you're racing against professional riders a lot, but it's a step I'm in the process of taking at the moment," Sherwin said.
New Settlement plan not Helpful – Australian Foreign Minister
CANBERRA, 11 March – Foreign Minister Stephen Smith has criticised Israel's decision to allowthe building of more homes in Ramat Shlomo, an
ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood of Jerusalem.
Speaking to Sky News on Thursday, Smith called the decision, made on Tuesday, a "bad" one.
"I share the view that this is a bad decision at the wrong time," he said. "It's not a helpful contribution to the peace process. It's not a helpful contribution to the very hard work that'sbeen going on behind-the-scenes, including from the United States, to try and get Israel and thePalestinian Authority together for so-called proximity talks."
Approval for 1600 additional houses in the burgeoning area – where media reports put the average household at seven or eight people – was given by Israel's Interior Ministry. It iscontroversial because the building would be beyond the Green Line, but the Netanyahu Government said it never agreed to halt construction in Jerusalem.
The approval followed closely on the heals of United States Vice President Joe Biden's express support for new, indirect peace talks during a visit to Israel this week. That support is basedon the cessation of settlement building in the Palestinian territories.
Smith said Australia continues to support a freeze on Israeli buildings beyond the Green Line, including East Jerusalem.
"Issues of settlement and East Jerusalem andJerusalem can be part of a final agreement," Smith said.
"What we are very, very desperate to achieve inthe Middle East is a long term enduring peace where Israel has the right to exist as a state in
a context of peace and security, and thePalestinian people have their own state as well,also existing in a context of peace and security."
He said the announcement was "not helpful" in promoting the peace process.
Jewish radio to hit the airwaves
MELBOURNE, 12 March – The local Jewish community is set to have its very own radio station after a temporary licence was granted to Melbourne Jewish Radio.
But it has been no easy feat for the station, named Lion FM, with the founding committee having engaged in a long and arduous application process
with the Australian Communication Media Authority (ACMA).
"The application process was extremely difficultand many times people probably counted us out. I have a belief that nothing worthwhile in life comes easily and sometimes you need to dig in and fight for something," Melbourne Jewish Radio secretary Stephen Fennell said.
"Some 18 months after we began this process, herewe are about to begin our maiden broadcast. Thisis such a great achievement for the community."
Expected to be broadcasting full time within the next six weeks, Lion FM will cater to differentlistening groups. It will include a mix of news and current affairs, light entertainment, music and special interest programs.
As with the nature of the programming, the Lion FM team is also a mix of people from different sectors of the community.
"People from all walks of life have joined us over the journey and many more come on board every day. We have established subcommittees to implement the requirements for the station, which is all voluntary at this point," Fennell said.
Among the volunteers is lawyer and Glen Eira councillor Michael Lipshutz, who holds the position of station president.
Lipshutz believes the station will play an important role in bringing more Jewish news andinformation to Jews and non-Jews alike.
"Jewish audiences want more media. Particularly with Israel always on the back foot and the Jewish community on the back foot because of anti-Semitism, we need to reach out to the general public as well as the Jewish community," he said, adding that it is particularly pertinent for younger generations who are becoming "less
associated with the Jewish community".
To be transmitted on 96.1 FM, the station must construct its own antenna to carry the signal,and will test broadcast for a few weeks as per its ACMA requirements. Once official broadcasting begins, Melbourne Jewish Radio must prove to the
ACMA that it is able to successfully run the station before a permanent licence is granted.
Lipshutz said the group is seeking community support to raise $300,000 to ensure the success of the station.
Anti-Semitism unlikely to go away
SYDNEY, 10 March – A final peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians would not eliminatethe rising levels of western anti-Semitism, according to pre-eminent Holocaust scholar Professor Yehuda Bauer.
Speaking at Sydney's Mandelbaum House last Thursday, he told the audience, including University of Sydney chancellor and NSW Governor Marie Bashir, that a multi-pronged approach is required to battle anti-Semitism, including the
use of mass communication channels to present the "facts on the ground".
"Analyses show reasonably clearly that what is being attacked is Israel as a Jewish state, not just as another state, and that the current conflict serves as a trigger that releases people from a politically correct attitude of opposing anti-Semitism," the academic said in Sydney last week.
The reason for this, he said, is because anti-Semitism is not only a prejudice, but also a "historically ingrained cultural phenomenon" in the Christian-Muslim world that exists latently and can be aroused by a conflict such as the current one in the Middle East.
Prof Bauer, a past winner of the prestigious Israel Prize and professor emeritus of Holocaust studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is currently touring Australia. He will be the keynote speaker at Monash University's upcoming
Holocaust Aftermath Conference on March 14 and 15.
An elaborate mix of ideological campaigns is also called for, he said, to battle anti-Semitism in the Muslim world, where radical Islam is growing and outspokenly anti-Semitic messages are increasingly gaining acceptance with the mainstream.
"This is very clear in Pakistan, for instance, where there is not a single Jew," he said.
There are competing, non-radical interpretations of Islam, he stressed, and it's up to a "non-patronising western stance" to support those voices "willing to enter the fray".
"Anti-Semitism is a global scourge, and it's directed against all civilised societies. That ishow it should be seen," Prof Bauer said.
Kosher label review "cautiously welcomed
MELBOURNE 12 March – Kosher authorities have "cautiously welcomed" a federal
government-sponsored review of kosher labelling.
Currently being conducted by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), the review is part of a sweeping evaluation of food labelling laws sparked by consumer concerns over inaccurate and inconsistent food labels.
A recently released issues paper by the COAG committee stated that there is "consumer desire for clarification of the terms", including "kosher".
Starting this week, the committee will kick off its consultation process, inviting submissions and conducting public meetings in capital cities across Australia and New Zealand until May 7. A final report is expected by early December.
Kashrut authorities were this week tentatively optimistic about the review.
NSW Kashrut Authority's (KA) rabbinic coordinator, Rabbi Moshe Gutnick, stated that, in principle, government assistance in defining what is labelled kosher could help stamp out, what he called, kosher fraud.
"It's a good thing, but we need to work out how it's going to happen," Rabbi Gutnick said.
"Of course, the government is not qualified to determine what is kosher – this must be determined by the rabbinic kashrut bodies of the various states," he stressed.
"Perhaps 'kosher' for the purposes of legislation would mean something supervised as such by an independent rabbinic body, not the manufacturer themselves."
Rabbi Meir Shlomo Kluwgant, the kashrut committee chair of the Organisation of Rabbis of Australasia (ORA), said he could also see "significant benefits" coming from such a review in regards to fraudulent advertising, but he also remained cautious.
"The matter does need careful consideration, and I do question the driving force behind this particular initiative," he said. "I think the kashrut authorities will share a measure of concern about it."
Regarding plans to make a formal submission to the review panel, he added: "It's certainly something ORA should be considering, and I'll bring it up with the committee and see what their responses are."
Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Robert Goot also said he would be liaising with kashrut authorities and ORA on how to proceed with a submission "consistent with Jewish religious practice".
Shabbat in Antarctica
A "Real Cool Story from the ends of the earth" – In a small chapel overlooking a frozen sea inlet, Dick Heyman leads a tiny congregation in a Shabbat-evening service. "Blessed are you, endless one, who makes the evenings fall," he
says, opening the Ma'ariv service with an English rendition of the prayer Asher Bidvaro.
"Oh, wait," Heyman says, pausing. "We can't say that here."
Heyman is right. This January Shabbat service — the first ever in Antarctica to the knowledge of anyone present — is taking place in a dimly lit chapel. But it's bright as day outside, and it has been that way for nearly six months.
Here, on the McMurdo Sound near the Antarctic coast, the last sunrise was in August, and the sun won't dip below the horizon again until the end of February. Few things are black or white, but Antarctica is one of them. Save for a brief
transition in March, the continent enjoys either 24-hour darkness or 24-hour light.
The stubborn sun presents some secular challenges to the scientists and staff here: sunglasses are a must, even at midnight. But the odd solar schedule may also have implications for Shabbat, the timing of which is determined by the coming and going of the sun and stars.
"Part of lighting Shabbat candles is to have light in the darkness," Heyman explains to his congregants, "but we don't have darkness until February".
In this multipurpose chapel, a small hodgepodge of staff members – Jewish and non-Jewish, the committed and the idly curious, including two Christian chaplains – listen respectfully to Heyman. At McMurdo Station, a research outpost
with the largest community in Antarctica – around 1100 summertime residents – he is effectively the chacham, or knowledgeable communal leader.
Heyman, a child of German Holocaust refugees, grew up a Reform Jew in the Forest Hills section of Queens in the US. In Antarctica, he works 50-hour weeks as a network engineer, connecting the remote base to the rest of the world. He has
been in information technology for 25 years, but this is his first season on the ice. His four-month stint is the longest he has been away from his family of four in Fort Collins, Colorado. So, though he describes himself as "not especially religious" and recalls that he had his bar mitzvah in a Presbyterian church, Heyman
decided to hold a Shabbat service to remind him of home.
With the help of rabbis from Congregation Har Shalom in Fort Collins, Heyman printed out prayer booklets, planned an oneg – an informal Friday night Shabbat service – and baked a challah for the occasion. The 64-year-old estimates that
there are upward of 20 Jews on the base, but only eight congregants besides himself have shown up to enjoy the festivities, plus myself, a non-participating reporter. Only six participants are Jewish.
The others, including the two Christian chaplains, are among the curious. "I'm from the Judeo-Christian tradition," says Reverend Philip Gibbs, a 62-year-old New Zealander. "So when something Jewish is going on, I want to see it."
Even some of the Jews present admit to little inthe way of Jewish background, leading Heyman to punctuate the service with frequent commentary
and explanation as he moves along.
As it turns out, Heyman is not the first to ponder the problem of Shabbat in the face of a non-setting sun. In the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon suggested that ambiguous cases should followthe solar calendar of Jerusalem, a proposal accepted today as law.
But according to Rabbi Michael Paley, scholar-in-residence at the Jewish Resource
Centre of UJA-Federation of New York, the law extends only to land masses contiguous with Israel, making Antarctica something of a halachic no-man's-land.
When the situation is uncertain, Rabbi Paley explained, the precise timing of Shabbat could become a community decision. Fortunately, Rabbi Paley's psak, or ruling, is consistent with Heyman's intuitions.
"There's never been a Jewish pope," Heyman says, "so there can be some interpretation".
The engineer-cum-chazan decides to follow a custom of referring to the sundown of the nearest community – in this case, the ironically named Christchurch, New Zealand. Christchurch is home to the nearest off-continent base of the United
States Antarctic Program, and McMurdo Station – which is located at nearly the same longitude as New Zealand's Milford Sound but much further
south – runs on Christchurch time, allowing Ma'ariv to begin around dinnertime instead of 10hours later, as it would on Jerusalem time.
But as soon as one problem is solved, another arises. Following the custom of facing towards Jerusalem to pray, Heyman instinctively instructs his congregation to turn east, as do Jews who live in the West.
"Grid east or true east?" Philip Fitzgerald asks.
The 33-year-old carpenter and Jew from Juneau, Alaska, has a point. At McMurdo, a few hundred miles from the geographic South Pole, cardinal directions are skewed. Almost everywhere one turns is geographically north. This has led
navigators to develop an artificial "grid" system for designating directions in Antarctica.
For someone standing at or near the South Pole, "grid north" is defined as facing in the direction that aligns with the prime meridian – the longitudinal line that passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. "Grid south" aligns with the International Date Line, running through the opposite side of the globe, in the Pacific Ocean.
"Grid east" passes through Bangladesh between India and the Gobi Desert, and bears no relation to Jerusalem. But neither does true east, which simply makes a short lap around the South Pole before looping back to McMurdo.
So where to face? Heyman and his congregation settle on true east, concluding that thinking of Jerusalem is what counts.
Rabbi Paley thinks they could have found Jerusalem on a map and simply faced that way.
"But the world is round," he said. "Eventually you'll get there."
For Heyman, the spirit of his Shabbat service trumps the details: during kiddush, accompanying the challah and wine are some tasty (if untimely) latkes, made from roasted potatoes he had been hoarding from the cafeteria.
For Kenneth Iserson, 60, the sight of the Shabbat candles brings him back to his Conservative Jewish upbringing outside Washington. Now professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, Prof Iserson came to Antarctica to serve as the
lead physician on the research base.
"Those are the first candles I've seen lit at McMurdo," he says.
Heyman adds that he doesn't know if another Antarctic Shabbat service is on the horizon. But if he does hold the service again, he says he'll take extra care to scour the base for more congregants.
"I'm happy with the turnout," Heyman says. "But there have got to be more than six Jews in Antarctica."

American Wealth and International Affairs
A newspaper headline captures the strategic threat, "Huge Deficits May Alter U.S. Politics and Global Power." http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/us/politics/02deficit.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
At stake is the war on terror, health reform, tax and spending leverages to increase employment, along with prosaic domestic programs that are suffering on account of financial problems among states and localities. There is also a prospect of Chinese influence on American policy due to government bonds they have acquired from selling consumer and industrial goods to Americans, Europeans and others. The same changes in international commerce have also brought about the closing of factories throughout countries where shopping is a favored pastime.
It is too early to write finish to the power of North America and Europe. The Chinese cannot unload their bonds without reducing their value, and hurting themselves along with the United States. America and Europe are wealthy, and may be wise enough to avoid disaster. Yet signs of trouble include the interruption of medical evacuations from Haiti to the United States due to arguments as to which institutions would pay for treatment, and the president's comments that the country could not afford an endless war in Afghanistan, a country his experts warned was unrepairable.
The dismay over deficits may be more important for the prospect of health reform than the loss of a Massachusetts Senate seat. The country with the best medical facilities in the world may continue to have them unavailable to much of its population. Large numbers will get only emergency treatment in public hospitals, and others who think they have paid for decent care will suffer the stinginess of insurance companies.
While avoiding the temptation of indicating which president or which bloc of Congress has contributed what portion to the deficit, it is useful to identify some traits of the United States that contribute to its problem.
The financial problems of the United States (national, state, and local governments) suffer from taxes that are lower than those of other western democracies, as well as from the costs of its overseas commitments. Americans concerned to deal with their deficits should not focus on their domestic programs, which generally are less generous than those of other democracies.
Wealth may be the single most important factor responsible for American prominence in international conflicts. Resources per capita in the United States are lower than in Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, Ireland, Denmark, Iceland, The Netherlands, and Sweden, suggesting that the average individual in those countries is better off than the average American. However, the American population is larger, and the overall wealth of the United States is greater than those countries. This gives the American government leverage not possessed by others. Military power derives from the total wealth of the United States, as well as its being the greatest surviving western power at the end of World War II, and then one of the two major players in the Cold War.
Being the lone superpower left standing in 1990 invited endless appeals for assistance, and made the United States the most attractive target for those whose targets are capitalism, individualism, the rich, and the non-Muslim. The World Trade Center fell as a result of the second attack on the icon of all that was viewed to be evil. The Gulf War of 1991 was a prelude to major military investments, largely American, in the area from Iraq eastward and southward. Iran's animosity to the United States dates from intense opposition to the friends of the Shah and the hostage taking of 1979-81. It does not seem to be diminishing under the Obama effort at engagement.
The prominence of the United States, as opposed to that of Britain, France, Germany, or Russia in international politics is not only a product of wealth and military power. The structure of American government also has made its contribution to the role the country has chosen for itself. The separation of power, and the competition between Congress and the presidency adds to the heroic defense of national values not so apparent in the parliamentary regimes of Europe. The unity between executive and legislature may facilitate the willingness to accommodate hostile forces, most apparent in going along with Muslim and Third World demands in the United Nations, or abstaining alongside American nays.
Somewhere in the American mix is the power of the Jewish lobby. One must be careful of exaggerating. It is far from dominant. Insofar as Israel is often a target of Muslim and other Third World countries, however, Jewish influence in Congress and the White House is among the factors responsible for United States vetoes in the Security Council, and votes against resolutions in the General Assembly and other UN organs where European governments are generally not as outspoken.
While on the subject of Jews, it is appropriate to continue with the advantages of a country that is beleaguered, but also small and limited in its responsibilities. Israel devotes three or four times the percentage of its resources to security as the United States, and has suffered perhaps 10 times the casualties on a proportional basis since World War II, but it has advantages that the American giant can envy. While American troops fight from bases on every continent but Australia and Antartica, Israel's military operations are restricted to a couple of hundred miles from the center of its country, plus the occasional operation further afield. The cultures and languages of America's enemies are beyond the ken of its intelligence capabilities, while Israel has operated throughout its history with agents in places not so foreign to those who direct and analyze the gathering of intelligence. Israel can get credit for the quick dispatch of a few well trained people, with appropriate equipment to Haiti and other disaster areas. The United States starts slower, but does the heavy lifting of prolonged care and the refurbishing of infrastructure. Israel's airport and national airline led the world in security, but they deal with a smaller number of flights than those at a sizable American or European airport, and need not bother with inflated demands to treat every passenger as posing the same risk. Israeli security personnel pay less attention to aged Jews than to young Arabs.
Climate change poses question 'Will Israel be here in 2500'?
By Danny Bloom
CHIAYI CITY, Taiwan — Two recent newspaper articles about climate change in the far distant
future, say 2500 or so, (titled, respectively, "How much more proof is needed for people to act?" and "Ignoring the future — the psychology of denial") emphasized the importance of facing major issues that will have an impact on the future of the human species.
Climate change is indeed an issue that is on everyone's mind, and while Israel seems to be far removed from the experts who recently made their way to Copenhagen to try to hammer out blueprints to prevent global warming from having a Doomsday impact on humankind, Israel will also be on the front lines of these issues. Why? Because Israel will not exist as a country by the year 2500. Everyone there will have migrated north to Russia and Alaska.
Despite most observers' belief that solutions lie in mitigation, there are a growing number of climatologists and scientists who believe that the A-word — adaptation — must be confronted head-on, too. The fact is — despite the head-in-the-sand protestations of deniers like former Alaskan Governor Sara Palin in the US — that we cannot stop climate change or global warming. The Earth's atmosphere has already passed the tipping point, and in the next 500 years, temperatures and sea levels will rise considerably and millions, even billions, of people from the tropical and temperate zones will be forced to migrate in search of food, fuel and shelter. This includes the people of Israel.
By the year 2500, Israel will be largely uninhabited, except for a few stragglers eking out a subsistence life in the Golan Heights. The rest of the population will have migrated north to Russia's northern coast or northern parts of Alaska and Canada to find safe harbor from the devastating impact of global warming.
Okay, how do I know all this, you ask? I don't know. I am just saying that we all must be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
By the year 2500, most likely, Israelis en masse will have left the country for faraway northern regions to find shelter in UN-funded climate refuges in places such as Russia, Canada and Alaska. Israeli climate refugees will join millions of others from India, Vietnam,Thailand, Japan and the Philippines. It won't be a pretty picture.
When I asked a professor at National Taiwan University in Taipei if this was a possible future scenario for Israel and other nations in the Middle East some 500 years from now, he said it was very possible, and that these issues needed to be addressed now, if only as a thought exercise, and even if it all sounded like a science fiction movie script. When I asked acclaimed British scientist James Lovelock if such a scenario for Israel was likely, he said to me in an e-mail: "It may very well happen, yes."
We humans cannot engineer our way out of global warming, although
scientists who believe in geo-engineering have offered theories on how
to do it. There are no easy fixes. Humankind has pumped too many
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the result of the industrial
revolution that gave us trains, planes, automobiles and much more,
enabling us to live comfortable and trendy lives — and now there is so
much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that the Earth cannot recover.
Israel, like the rest of the world, is doomed to a bleak future filled with billions of climate refugees seeking shelter in the far north, and
in places like New Zealand, Tasmania and Antarctica in the far south.
Meetings in Copenhagen and Rio de Janeiro and at the UN in Manhattan
will not stop global warming.
What we need to focus on now is preparing future generations for what
our world will become in the next 500 years and how best to survive
For the next 100 to 200 years or so, life will go on as normal in
Israel in terms of climate change and global warming issues. There is
nothing to worry about now. For the next 100 years posh department
stores will hawk their trendy items, computer firms will launch their
latest gadgets and airline companies will continue to offer passengers
quick passage here and there, to the Maldives and to Manhattan, for
business and for pleasure.
But in the next 500 years, according to Lovelock and other scientists
who are not afraid to think outside the box and push the envelope,
things are going to get bad. Unspeakably bad.
Those of us who are alive today won't suffer, and the next few
generations will be fine, too. The big trouble will probably start
around 2200 — and last for some 300 years or so.
By 2500, Israel will be history, and so will be all the nations of Africa,
Asia, the Americas and Europe.
We are entering uncharted waters, and as the waters rise and the
temperatures go up, future generations will have some important
choices to make: where to live, how to live, how to grow food, how to
power their climate refugee settlements, how to plan and how to pray.

Our stay in Nice in Raffi's apartment was great. I highly advise it. Location is extraordinary, just in the center of old town and close to the beach. The flat was clean and equipped with everything we need.
We stayed at the apartment for 5days. Karim did a good job making us comfortable and explained things. The good things about the apartment is that is was in the old town and was very convenient to all the shops , transport and most of all to the conference centre, as my wife was attending an international conference.This was our 6th time in Nice and by far this was the smallest apartment we stayed at. As stated in the advert it was on the fourth floor with no lifts , the stairs are worn out and slippery, and getting stepper as you go up. The building is very old and there seems to be no body corporate to care for it , and is becoming derelict and smells of humidity. The apartment is small and do not be fooled by the pictures you see, firstly it was difficult to open the front door as it had two locks and one was getting stuck , needs some manipulating to open the door, there are no curtains on the window and outside the street very noisy and echoes during the night. Need to keep the windows closed because of the mosquitoes , there is an aircond with the water outlet draining inside into a bucket- great for mosie ,the bedroom is small and the bed cannot be accessed from both sides . The wardrobe are very small and are cluttered with things, there is much clutter in the apartment that should not be there, such as empty containers , left on top of wardrobes and cupboards also left over chocolate on top of the kitchen cupboards, the food left by others over their stay should have been discarded , and clean basic stuff available for the next tenant. The bathroom is small if you are very big and tall, you may have difficulty in getting around. The two stars go to the location and the hot showers. The two smoke alarms are still in their boxes and have not been fitted. Improvements can be dome to reduce the clutter in the room and make it more orderly. This was also the most expensive apartment we stayed , last being a two bedroom and two bathroom at the port side which we scored 4.5 stars, but I guess it is about location, and photos can be deceiving .

Very comfortable appartment in the lively area of the old town close to the beach. Host was very friendly, everything you needed was in the appartment. we had a great week and we will come back
Eine sehr schöne kleine Wohnung in Mitten der Altstadt mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, welche man sonst vermissen könnte.
Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung und mit Wiederholungsgefahr.
Excellent apparte ! Situation idéale au cœur du Vieux Nice.
Nous y avons passé une excellente semaine.
Je n'hésiterais pas une seconde à faire appel à nouveau à Raffi si je passe par Nice.
Je vous le recommande.
Das Appartment mitten in der Altstadt von Nizza ist wunderbar und eignet sich sehr gut,um zu zweit/dritt Urlaub in der Metropole zu machen. Sieht man über die Tatsache hinweg,dass sich das App.im vierten Dtock befindet (es gibt keinen Aufzug) bietet es alles,was das Herz begehrt. Eine tolle Einrichtung/Ausstattung und Top gepflegt.
Wifi und Riesen-TV,leider ohne dt Sender, bieten eine gute Möglichkeit,Emails abzurufen oder online zu gehen.
Sowohl der Vermieter,als auch der junge Mann vor Ort waren super sympathisch,hilfsbereit und nett!
Absolut empfehlenswert !!!
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기

What a lovely holiday!! Camil (?the write spelling) who met us at the apartment was so helpful, showed us so many good local places on the map and explained how everything in the apartment worked, and was just so incredibly helpful if we had any questions through the stay we could just text. The apartment was right in the old town, walking distance to everything, and just had everything we needed! Really well set up and comfortable, just lovely! Worth the 4 floors or stairs walk up! We will be back & will be recommending you to others!

I wish Blick sold individual colors.
By Mr. Moore

Comments about Trait-Tex Standard Weight Yarn:
I use these in my art room and like how they work, but inevitably certain colors run out first and I would like to have the option to restock the dispenser box with the same colors. the double weight yarn has some individual colors but not all of the ones that come in the box. this product is billed as refillable but the offering of refills is lacking.

good product, flawed shipping technique
By southiefolk
from boston
I like the product but Blick shipping just can't get it right. Both shipments came with a 4-sided sleeve taped to the box. The box itself is actually a dispenser for the included yarn. Taping the dispenser ruins the look of the box, just like taping a cover to a book. Blick sent me a replacement but it was shipped the same way.

yep, thumbs up. great intro with marvellous music by dune and enchanting particles by galvados.
the music is delicious in this one.
any-one has the soundtrack or knows how to rip it out of the exe?
Simple but brilliant intro. Flows pretty much on (once again) nice distorted tune by Dune. On effect side there's "nothing special" but then again it was one of the first intros using particles in a nice way.. Rocks.
btw. Soundtrack is available at least here: ftp://ftp.stenstad.net/pub/modules/artists/dune/deesbab.s3m.

I remember watching this in high school with random people trying to figure out the point of it all. Absolutely fabulous intro.
really nice
one of the greatest intros ever made
This intro is like one of that records that nowadays sounds so "pop"... I mean, almost every "modern" demoscene production was inspired by this one (bjoer, viagra, ...).
A real pioneer 8-)

dosbox: sound, first effect lasted short amount of time, maybe 3-4 seconds. Then more effects. Very nice.
Should have had the first effect for a lot longer (: I think it's my favorite of all of 'em (:

Laguna Ballet presents 30th anniversary production of 'The Nutcracker'
MISSION VIEJO – Laguna Ballet hosted its 30th anniversary production of "The Nutcracker" over the weekend at Saddleback College.
More than 90 students from across south Orange County came together under the direction of Shery Gilbert to stage the full-length production. The six performances took place at the McKinney Theatre, from Dec. 17 to 20.
Laguna Ballet, a nonprofit junior ballet company based in Mission Viejo, has served south Orange County families since 1985. This year's Nutcracker production featured students ages 4 through 20 living in Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Foothill Ranch, Coto De Caza, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente and Dana Point, said spokeswoman Valinda Accetta.
"This is our gift back to the community," Gilbert, artistic director, said in a statement.
The following students performed the two principal roles, each performing in three shows: Reese Petro, 13, of Mission Viejo, and Sophia LaFrance, 16, of Lake Forest, as Clara; and Andrea Derkum, 18, of Lake Forest, and Alexandra Carey, 16, of Mission Viejo, as Sugar Plum Fairy.
Joan Boada, a principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet, performed as Cavalier as a guest artist.
All of the parents of the performers helped put on the shows, including hand-sewing more than 400 costumes, Accetta said.

LAKE SUCCESS, New York -- August 18, 2008 -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) announced today that it has increased the size of its offer to purchase its 6.125% Senior Notes due 2017 from $75 million aggregate principal amount of notes to a maximum of $125 million aggregate principal amount of notes.
As of 5:00 p.m.New York City time on Monday, August 18, 2008 (the "Early Tender Deadline"), investors had tendered approximately $162.4 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Holders who validly tender their notes after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to midnight New York City time, on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 (as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time") will be eligible to receive only the tender offer consideration, namely the total consideration less the early tender premium.
The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of notes accepted for payment is $915. The total consideration includes the early tender premium of $30 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of notes and is payable for notes purchased in the offer that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline. Holders whose notes are accepted for payment but who validly tendered such notes after the Early Tender Deadline, and at or prior to the Expiration Time, will only be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration of $885 per $1,000 principal amount of notes accepted for payment pursuant to the offer. In addition, holders whose notes are purchased will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the payment date.
As amended, the aggregate principal amount of notes offered to be purchased in the offer is limited to $125 million (the "Maximum Tender Amount"). In the event that the principal amount of notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the notes will be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis based on the total principal amount of notes tendered. Except for the amendment to the size of the offer described above, all other terms and conditions of the offer remain unchanged.
The offer is not contingent upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of notes or on obtaining financing, but the offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The company intends to finance the purchase of the notes pursuant to the offer from available cash. Except as set forth herein, the terms and conditions of the offer are as set forth in the company's Offer to Purchase dated August 5, 2008 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related letter of transmittal.

An interview with writer/director Julie Dash about "Daughters of the Dust," on the occasion of the film's 25th anniversary.
"The Graduate," the funniest American comedy of the year, is inspired by the free spirit which the young British directors have brought into their movies. It is funny, not because of sight gags and punch lines and other tired rubbish, but because it has a point of view. That is to say, it is against something. Comedy is naturally subversive, no matter what Doris Day thinks.
Most Hollywood comedies have non-movie assumptions built into them. One of the most persistent is that movie characters have to react to funny events in the same way that stage actors do. So we get Jerry Lewis mugging. But in the direct style of new British directors, the audience is the target of the joke, and the funny events do not happen in the movie -- they are the movie.
This theory is based upon a belief that audiences, having seen hundreds of movies, come into the theater with an instinctive knowledge of film shortland. So the new-style British comedies ("The Knack," "Morgan," "Alfie," "Tom Jones," "A Hard Day's Night") go against standard practice, and their use of film itself is part of the comedy. When something funny happens, the actors don't react; the movie itself reacts by what it shows next.
This is the case with "The Graduate," In which Mike Nichols announces himself as a major new director.
He introduces us to a young college graduate (Dustin Hoffman) who returns to a ferociously stupid upper-middle-class California suburb. He would like the chance to sit around and think about his future for several months. You know -- think?
His family and their social circle demand that he perform in the role of Successful Young Upward-Venturing Clean-Cut All-American College Grad. At the end of two weeks Benjamin is driven to such a pitch of desperation that he demonstrates a new scuba outfit (birthday present from proud dad) by standing on the bottom of the family pool: Alone at last.
One of his parents' contemporaries (Anne Bancroft) seduces Benjamin, who succumbs mostly out of weariness and disbelief. Then he falls in love with her daughter (Katharine Ross), and sets in motion a fantastic chain of events that ends with Miss Ross (just married to a handsome blond Nordic pipe-smoking fraternity boy) being kidnapped from the altar by Benjamin. He jams a cross into the church door to prevent pursuit, and they escape on a bus.
This is outrageous material, but it works in "The Graduate" because it is handled in a straightforward manner. Dustin Hoffman is so painfully awkward and ethical that we are forced to admit we would act pretty much as he does, even in his most extreme moments. Anne Bancroft, in a tricky role, is magnificently sexy, shrewish, and self-possessed enough to make the seduction convincing.
Miss Ross, a newcomer previously seen in "Games," not only creates a character with depth and honesty, but is so attractive that now we know how Ann-Margret would have looked if she had turned out better.
Nichols stays on top of his material. He never pauses to make sure we're getting the point. He never explains for the slow-witted. He never apologizes. His only flaw, I believe, is the introduction of limp, wordy Simon and Garfunkel songs and arty camera work to suggest the passage of time between major scenes. Otherwise, "The Graduate" is a success and Benjamin's acute honesty and embarrassment are so accurately drawn that we hardly know whether to laugh or to look inside ourselves.

About Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a common infectious disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis which affects the lungs. Main symptoms of TB are severe cough that lasts for three weeks or longer, bloody or discoloured sputum, night sweats, fever, fatigue and weakness, pain in the chest, loss of appetite, and pain during breathing or coughing.
India had the highest total number of TB cases worldwide in 2010 partly due to poor disease management by the private healthcare sector. TB can be prevented by vaccination and maintaining high levels of hygiene. One infected, the patient should follow the medication regimen properly. By not doing so, there are chances of developing resistance to anti-TB drugs resulting in an aggressive form of TB called MDR-TB (multi-drug resistant TB).
Tuberculosis content
Risk factors
TB or Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is when our immune system becomes weak for some reason or is overwhelmed by the infection or any other cause, that we suffer the disease (reactivation).
- It mostly affects people whose immunity is compromised. eg: Infants, old people, pregnant women, women who have recently delivered, people living in unsanitary conditions, uncontrolled diabetes patients, cancer patients, HIV positive people.
- Also, if you are in close contact (living together/working together) with people suffering from TB, you have more risk of developing TB. Here are 3 challenges facing treatment of TB in India.
- Alcoholics, people using illegal drugs and narcotics and people who weigh 10% lower than the recommended body weight are also predisposed to develop TB.
Read to know why is drug-resistant TB such a big challenge for India?
During this time, the TB patient may experience these top 9 symptoms such as -
- Chest pain
- Coughing blood
- Recurrent and constant cough
- Night sweats
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Pain in breathing or coughing
- Fatigue and weakness
- Enlargement of lymph nodes (near the heart and lungs)
TB of other organ systems present with varied symptoms. For example:
- TB of the skin could present with a non healing ulcer.
- TB of the lymph nodes can present with swellings at multiple sites of the body. Here are 7 reasons for enlarged lymph nodes.
- TB of the spine could present with backache, stiffness or even swelling in the back/groin.
- TB of the intestines could present with abdominal distension and absolute constipation. Even a non-healing anal fistula could be due to TB.
- TB of the covering of the brain and spinal cord can cause TB Meningitis, especially in children.
Here is why you should be worried about drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Primary TB is usually diagnosed with a sputum test. A small sample of the patient's spit is collected and examined under the microscope for the presence of the bacteria. Read about IGRA, the new tuberculosis diagnostic tool – pros and cons.
Chest X-ray is also used to diagnose TB. Blood tests looking for abnormalities in blood counts could reinforce the diagnosis. Here's everything you should know about taking a CBC or Complete Blood Count test.
The skin test or 'Mantoux test' in which inactivated bacteria are injected under the patient's skin, can only test for latent TB and not active TB.
When TB affects organs other than the lungs, tests like CT scans, MRI, biopsy, immunohistochemical methods using antibodies etc may be required. Here is a blood test to detect TB in children.
WHO now recommends the Xpert MTB/RIF test which is a fully-automated test which can diagnose drug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is just two hours.
Here is a detailed information on common diagnostic tests for tuberculosis.
The treatment for TB takes a long time and involves following the doctor's instructions very carefully. The entire course of drugs needs to be completed even if the patient 'feels' better. Not doing so can lead to relapse and development of drug-resistant forms of TB. You may also like to read the 6 strategies that can battle India's TB epidemic.
The WHO recommended strategy for tuberculosis control is DOTS – Directly Observed Treatment, Short-Course. Some newer drugs like Bedaquiline, Delaminid and PA-824, are also being tested in various centres across India to treat both drug sensitive and resistant TB.
Read about antibiotic resistance – why it is more dangerous than you think.
Here are a few complications of the disease you should know about.
- MDR tuberculosis
- Meningitis
- Permanent lung damage
- Bone and joint problem
- Liver or kidney inflammation
- Cardiac problems
Here is detailed information on complications of tuberculosis.
Although almost all of us are exposed to TB in our lifetimes, only people with low immunity seem to develop the disease. Hence, maintaining very good immunity and avoiding close contact with people who have active TB help.
Here are some things you need to keep in mind.
Vaccination: All new born and infants should be given the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine to protect them against TB. The vaccine enables the child to develop antibodies against the causative organism (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) of TB. Did you know about these 10 vaccines recommended for your child?
Keep your immunity high: A healthy lifestyle is important to prevent TB. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Eat a complete meal that includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol, exercise regularly and stay fit. Read more about diet tips for TB patients.
Maintain good hygiene: 'Simple hygienic practices like covering the mouth while coughing, refraining from spitting in public places are still ignored by people, including those infected with TB,' says Dr Pradip Shah, consultant physician at Fortis Hospital, Mulund.
Go to the right kind of specialist: Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to lower the number of deaths due to TB. If you notice any of the symptoms of TB, visit a doctor immediately.
Adherence to medication: One of the major reasons for the increase in the number of deaths is the development of drug-resistant TB. For this reason, people who have the infection are actually the carriers of the disease.
