It seems that is really happening: Jennifer Lopez may be returning to "American Idol" next season.
After rumors surrounding Lopez's return to the singing competition show have been circulating for months, a source close to the 44-year-old said she is "very close to signing a deal with Fox to return to 'American Idol' next season."
"Both Fox and Jennifer are very happy about this and want it to happen very much," the source told People magazine.
On Thursday, after announcing Keith Urban would officially be returning as a judge, Fox president Kevin Reilly said Lopez may be joining him.
"Jennifer has been a close part of the show all along…there have been discussions there," Reilly told E News. "There is no deal with her or anyone else."
This announcement comes days after news broke that Lopez was reportedly rejected from appearing on Idol's chief rival "The Voice."
According to an insider who spoke with the New York Post, Lopez was rejected from appearing as a guest star on the season four finale of the NBC hit and was also axed from being a mentor.
"She submitted herself to have a recurring role," the source told the Post. "When you submit yourself to be a performer, the show can see how [the fans] and ratings react to your episode. But, they said no to both."
While Lopez has yet to comment on either situation, the source who spoke about her "Idol" return also elaborated that she was never angling to have an ongoing role on "The Voice."
"Jennifer never had discussions with NBC about being a judge," the source told People. "She was approached by NBC about performing but had to turn it down because of scheduling conflicts."

Terry Freeman, 61, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court of fraudulent trading in a "Ponzi" scheme that took in up to 700 investors, thought to include several sports players.
Essex-based Freeman told investors that his company GFX Capital offered "no risk and high return" foreign exchange trades, according to City of London Police, who investigated the case.
But Mr Freeman was spending investors' funds on holiday homes in Cyprus and France, a Land Rover and a box at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He also spent bought expensive presents for his wife, including a £120,000 diamond ring.
Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC told the court: "People were putting good money into this business and they were being conned."
The company was established shortly after Mr Freeman was released from jail in 2000 after serving four-and-a-half years for a separate financial scam.
Mr Freeman, who at the time was known as Terence Sparks, was disqualified in 1997 as a director for 15 years after being found guilty of eight offences relating to bankruptcy and being a disqualified director. On Wednesday he admitted acting as a director when bankrupt and acting in contravention of a disqualification order.
Mr Freeman's fraud started to unwind in 2008 after he bought heavily into American investment bank Lehman Brothers, thinking the US government was about to bail it out.
When the bank collapsed in September of that year Mr Freeman lost half of his fund but announced to his investors that profits had jumped by 12pc in one month. Investors were rattled by the recent exposure of Bernard Madoff's $65bn Ponzi scheme in the US and many began to ask for their money back.
Even as his company crumbled, Mr Freeman enticed more investors after hosting a weekend in the country for new clients. He was arrested in February 2009.
He will be sentenced on February 14.

» Compass Health has agreed to a $1.1 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging that the skilled nursing provider did not pay overtime or allow workers to take needed breaks. The firm operates seven skilled nursing facilities and two assisted living communities in the coastal area between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
» Healthcare real estate investments trusts are off to a good start this year, according to the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Total Return Index. Since January, shares of the 13 healthcare REITS are up 14%. This portfolio includes Ventas, HCP and Health Care REIT. Healthcare REITs don't usually operate facilities themselves. Instead, they own the real estate and lease it out to operators of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
» Assisted Living Concepts is now Enlivant. The rebranding "captures the essence of this renewed sense of vitality and connectivity," said CEO Jack R. Callison Jr. "Our actions are guided by Enlivant's new core values: compassion, humility, excellence, fun and, most importantly, integrity." The firm also has relocated its headquarters to Chicago.

Today Dyn and Spiceworks reveal the results of our Internet Disruption research study, tracking the experience and opinions of more than 200 IT professionals in the US, Canada and the UK. The research finds that 89% of companies surveyed experienced some form of internet disruption over the last twelve months. And when these disruptions occur, the impact is substantial.
Q. How painful was the disruption to your organization and you/your team?
Before we get further into the research, let me first clarify that while Dyn commissioned the research, Spiceworks developed the survey, independently fielded it with the Spiceworks community, and published the results in the report. I should also add that this survey was fielded in November 2016 and in the works before the historic 10/21 cyberattack against Dyn, so the timing was prescient and further validates the critical nature of the internet for businesses today (as the song goes: "you don't know what you've got until it's temporarily impacted for a few hours on a Friday morning").
To that point, in an age when digital transformation and putting the internet in the path of customer interactions and more workloads are moving to the cloud, the findings of this study should raise concern among both IT and line of business leaders. Not just because so many companies experience disruptions, but because the impacts are felt most in terms of customer experience and employee productivity.
Also troubling is the time that these disruptions take to resolve. Average mean time to resolution (MTTR) among our sample is a FULL BUSINESS DAY. Those results are even worse for issues that occur outside of organizations' network control (the majority of such issues), with MTTR taking 17% longer.
So with all of this, you would think organizations are girding themselves and preparing their networks for digital resilience. Here it's a yes, but no, kind of story. First 92% of respondents are concerned about a major internet disruption impacting their business in the next six months. Additionally, 100% of organizations indicated at least some form of response. However, while 44% of organizations are monitoring network activity, only 36% of organizations are investing specifically in internet monitoring or threat detection solutions. Additionally, while 41% of organizations are taking steps to improve network infrastructure only 15% of organizations indicated plans to add a secondary DNS solution, perhaps one of the most cost effective insurance policies they can take out.
The results of this study are a strong reminder that the internet continues to be a volatile place. That being said, by having a resilience plan in place for their entire digital supply chain, CIOs can ensure their organizations are best prepared to handle any future disruption.
The results of this study are a stark reminder that along with the promise of ubiquitous communications, the internet continues to be a volatile place. But by having a digital resilience strategy in place for their entire digital supply chain, CIOs can ensure their organizations are best prepared to handle any future disruption, and that user experience isn't jeopardized.

any themes out of Oriental lore, mostly secular, that lend themselves to the drama of disappointed passion. My only serious protest is against the hypocrisy which pretends, with regard to Potiphar's Wife, to see a spiritual significance in what is mere vulgar animalism.
I ought, by the way, to have said that, in a spasm of chagrin, she chokes herself with the pearl necklace which lent the only touch of superfluity to her night attire, and was carried out--but not up the main staircase. Thus ends this sordid tragedy that so well illustrates that quality in Herr Strauss to which my guide refers when he speaks of his realization of a "poignant longing for divine cheerfulness."

Summer 2013, Volume I
Greetings from Shanghai!
I cannot believe that our summer semester has come to an end! Students finished their final exams, papers, and presentations today and will depart Shanghai on Sunday. We hosted a Farewell & Certificate Ceremony in honor of all our students' accomplishments throughout the term. Entire Chinese language classes and individual students performed songs, skits, and even Chinese classical drama as a culmination and celebration of what they have learned. The farewell dinner, which will take place during a cruise along the Huangpu River, will be a way for staff, students, teachers, host families, and Chinese roommates to say '再见'.
Weekend Excursions
During the short and intensive eight weeks, students not only became accustomed to daily life through language and culture but also were able to experience different parts of China via our program excursions. This term, our study center staff led trips to Xi'an, Beijing, and Guilin, and students were able to learn more about each city's unique qualities and history. During the weekends, each CIEE student also explored different cities and regions on their own, integrating classroom learning with outside-of-class experience.
Cultural Activities
When students are not in class, they are navigating different aspects of daily life, from learning the ways of Shanghai public transportation to ordering from a Chinese-only menu. In addition to langauge class activities, the CIEE Shanghai Study Center hosted a few events and activities to help students integrate with the local community.
We have seen record high heat this summer, and I congratulate our 81 students from 37 universities for 'sticking' to their academic, and cultural and linguistic goals!

News from Boston?
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | Jun 09, 2003
A few readers-- and more than a few reporters-- have been asking for CWN's input on a story published yesterday in the Boston Globe, alleging that a new Archbishop of Boston is likely to be appointed tomorrow.
CWN hasn't commented on that report, because we don't think it's accurate. In other words, it's a non-story.
We might be wrong, of course. We'll know tomorrow morning!

By the looks of the stories running lately on CWN the parishioners of Boston, if they really want courage for mortification, should be praying for a Bishop from Africa. First, the Nigerian Cardinal and then a gutsy display from Nigerian Anglicans. Were that we should be so blessed!

Question: Like many people, I often sign a contract without reading the fine print. Should I be concerned?
Answer: People often glance over a contract and sign it without knowing what their obligations are. Problems can and do arise even in the simplest of purchases where contracts were signed before the purchaser read the fine print. For example, a growing number of contracts have clauses built in that eliminate the right to a trial or the option to pursue a class action in court, and instead mandate arbitration. If you have questions about any contract, no matter what the size or nature of your purchase or agreement, it is best to consult with a lawyer before signing it. For more information about Illinois law, visit www.illinoislawyerfinder.com. If you have a legal question, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Illinois Law Now is a series of newspaper and internet posts prepared by the Illinois State Bar Association that address legal issues of interest to the public.

One hundred years ago, Father Edward Flanagan set out to give displaced children a home. It all started when he rented out a Victorian-style mansion in 1917. His boys home would be named "Boys Town". Two million children and families now benefit from the Boys Town Program. To commemorate this effort, a special series of coins was created. Each coin sold benefits the Boys Town program and its mission of caring for and assisting children and families across America.
We arranged for the very best "Inaugural Strike" coins to be immediately graded and certified by ANACS and the coins offered here have been independently graded and certified as perfect Proof 70 (abbreviated PR70) condition making these coins very unique in this collection. The combination of "Inaugural Strike" and PR70 makes it a collector's treasure. However only 38 are available. When they are gone no more coins can be certified as "Inaugural Strike."
The obverse of the silver dollar coin features a young girl sitting alone and gazing upward into the branches of an oak tree looking for help. The empty space around the girl is deliberate and meant to show the child's sense of loneliness, isolation, and helplessness. Inscriptions include "BOYS TOWN," "When you help a child today...," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and "1917–2017."
The reverse of the coin features an oak tree offering shelter and a sense of belonging to the family holding hands below it, which includes the girl from the obverse. Inscriptions include "…you write the history of tomorrow," "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ONE DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."

The Players Club
Ice Cube's first foray behind the camera as writer/director combines a cautionary tale of greed, folly and brutality at a Southern black strip club with an account of one fresh intern's triumph over the joint's stacked odds. The 'girls' occupy centre frame: Diana 'Diamond' Armstrong (LisaRaye), using the night work to support a young son and pay her way through journalism college, and Ronnie (Wilson) and Tricks (Givens), sour lifers who amuse themselves corrupting new recruits, including Diamond's gullible young cousin Ebony (Calhoun). For the most part, the film follows Spike Lee's Girl 6 and the post-feminist consensus in defending sex workers' professional choices according to the control they maintain over their acts while acknowledging at least some of the constant sexual, economic and personal pressures involved. Sympathetic it may be, but it never cuts deep; moreover, the camera spends far longer gazing at the women's stage acts than it does recording their feelings of degradation. That said, there are strong performances and two or three house-raising comic set pieces.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Ram Karmi, a leading Israeli architect whose work is both celebrated and controversial, has died. He was 82.
Karmi won the Israel Prize, the country's highest honor, in 2002 for his architecture.
Together with sister Ada Karmi-Melamed, he designed Israel's Supreme Court and with a New York firm, he co-designed the newest terminal at the Ben Gurion International Airport.
Both buildings were lauded but Karmi's other designs provoked criticism, including his Tel Aviv central bus station, a concrete labyrinth of staircases and escalators.
Karmi dismissed the criticism in a 2010 TV interview, saying: "I know what I did was something big. And I don't care what people say."
Karmi, who died Thursday, is survived by his wife and six children. The funeral is due on Friday near Tel Aviv.

Sample Data:
The chain supermarket boom started in the early 1990s in China and developed at an annual increase rate of 70%. The development of chain supermarket industry is especially fast in those well-developed areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. By the end of 2000, the sales volume of chain supermarkets all over China amounted to 7% of the total turnover of the whole country. The operational income of some supermarkets has surpassed that of some top department stores and became the flagship in the retail industry. The outstanding performance of chain supermarkets has attracted the most attention in the last ten years. Top international or transnational general merchandise store (G.M.S.) companies have begun to worm into China's market. Some of these companies have already set up more than 20 stores in some big cities in China. With their excellent operation, their market share is increasing continuously. China's retail market tends to be saturated and the sales of large merchandise stops to increase. Such being the case, the entrance of foreign supermarkets will pose great pressure to their counterparts in China. China's retail enterprises are big in number, but small in scale. Scale-effect is almost impossible for them. Take the 122 companies with an annual sales of more than RMB50 million in 1999 for example, the average number of stores owned by these companies is only 36. Among them, Shanghai Lianhua Supermarket Co. and Shanghai Hualian Supermarket Co. are the largest ones. The former had 606 stores and the latter 500 stores in 1999. However, compared with top international stores, they are too small. Wal-Mart from the U.S. has 3,989 chain supermarkets, Carrefour from France has 9,061 chain supermarkets, Metro from Germany has 2,144 stores, Ito Yokado and Daiei from Japan has 26, 442 and 8,750 stores respectively. In the coming ten years, China will be the largest market and the hottest international business competition will be in China. To excel from the hot competition, China's chain supermarket companies must be clear their strength and weakness and learn from those top international companies. They need to develop appropriate strategies and increase their finance sources. By improving their purchasing management and distribution strategies, information strategies and the overall marketing strategies, the operation and competitive ability will be better.

Animation and audio can really jazz up an otherwise boring page, but this can lead to a trap that many Web surfers have fallen into: unwanted music that suddenly blares from the computer's speakers, long load times to bring up an intro movie that you'd rather just skip, and things floating across the page when all you want to do is read the content.
Properly used, these tools can add to the experience, rather than detract from it. Most types of animations and sound files are imported from other sources, and can be displayed on a Web page using just a link to download the external file, which is then handled by the user's browser. But many of these files can also be displayed directly in the browser, and controlled by the Web developer. This section shows you how to take control over your user's audiovisual experience. Putting these tools in the hands of the wrong developer can be compared to giving a hyperactive child a drum set for his birthday, so please use good sense in deploying these features.

Layton City PolicyBack To Title List | Chapter List | Section List
3503 - Acceptance of Gifts
It is very important that Layton City employees be fair and impartial in their business dealings with the public and that they serve all citizens equally. It is not enough to avoid favoritism. They should strive to avoid even the appearance of giving preference to one citizen or business over any other. To this end, City employees should not accept gifts from outside agencies which may be competing or applying for City business, permits, or development decisions. Accepting gifts not only gives the appearance of favoritism but may create an embarrassing and possibly unlawful position for the City. Items of small value such as calendars, pencils, etc. with advertising or logos are acceptable, but larger items such as clothing, equipment for personal use, etc. should be politely declined.

KISSIMMEE — The sun was hot, the traffic heavy, and Galen Ensminger's incessant preaching was converting few of the flow. But now and then cars broke rank from Vine Street's endless metal motorcade, their drivers lured by the promise of a cleansing experience.
''Caaahr waaash! Getcha caaahr waaash-here. Heh, you need your caaahr washed!'' Ensminger's hoarse voice twanged as he bobbed a poster pleadingly.

The alternator plays a crucial role under the bonnet of your car. It converts the mechanical energy of the car's rotating crankshaft into electricity through a process of induction; put simply, it sends power to all the electrical elements of your vehicle.
One of the alternator's main functions is to keep your car battery charged, and so a car which is difficult or slow to start can be a sign of a faulty alternator. It also provides power to operate the car's lights and other electrical accessories. Therefore lights that seem too dim or blink erratically, and the red battery light glowing on the dash, are all signs that your alternator needs checking out.
With an unlikely history that began with making looms back in 1909, Japanese brand Suzuki didn't make the move into vehicles until the late 1930s, when Michio Suzuki decided that building a new small car would be a great venture for his company. Interestingly, Suzuki also used to create bicycles with fitted motors known as the "Power Free", which were immensely popular in Japan after the war.
These days, Suzuki is known for focusing on two major vehicle industry segments - compact hatchbacks and 4x4s. The basic Jimny is more on the utilitarian side of things when it comes to going off-road, with less refinement than many others in its class. The SX4 S-Cross and Vitara SUVs both represent good value for money and have been highly praised by critics. They seem to represent the Japanese brand's efforts to balance on- and off-roading.
How to be a better driver
Whether you're driving in Afon-wen or further afield, think about road user etiquette. Showing respect for other road users makes driving more pleasant for you and safer for everyone. For example, if you have to make a last minute change of lane, make your request to change clear to the driver who will need to let you in - and signal your thanks if they do. Be ready to abandon the change of lane if they won't play ball - your safety (and that of other drivers and pedestrians) is more important than getting to your destination in the shortest time possible. When the position is reversed and a driver asks your permission to change lanes, allow them to as long as it is safe. If you get frustrated, avoid using your horn - it won't improve matters and might make them considerably worse.
We can help you find garages for your Suzuki in Afon-wen for car servicing or repair work, including:

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago offers doctoral programs in sociocultural and linguistic anthropology and in archaeology. Although doctoral students must complete a Masters paper during their course of study at the University (or receive credit for a Masters degree earned at another institution), no one is admitted to the department solely to seek a Masters degree. Terminal Masters degrees are granted at the discretion of the Department of Anthropology.
The program in sociocultural and linguistic anthropology offers opportunities to pursue a wide range of ethnographic and theoretical interests. While the Department does not emphasize a particular theoretical perspective, it is well-known for its attention to classic problems in social theory along with an engagement with the latest developments in theories of history, culture, politics, economics, transnational processes, space and place, subjectivity, experience, and materiality. Shared topical interests among its members include culture and colonialism, postcoloniality and globalization, gender and sexuality, historical anthropology, history and social structure, politics and law, political economy, religion, ritual, science and technology, semiotics and symbolism, medicine and health, and subjectivity and affect. Africa, the Caribbean, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Oceania, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the United States of America are among the geographic areas of faculty research. Course work and study with faculty in other departments enable the student to pursue interdisciplinary interests, language training, and other regional studies.
The archaeology program enables students to articulate archaeology, history, and sociocultural anthropology, with emphasis on the integration of social and cultural theory in the practice of archaeology. Current faculty specialize in the archaeology of Latin America (the later prehistory and colonial periods of the Andes and Mesoamerica), Europe (the "Celtic" Iron Age and Greco-Roman colonial expansion), Southeastern and Southwestern US (urban history, colonialism, landscapes), South and Southeast Asia and Oceania (from the Neolithic to the early colonial periods), and West Africa (history, landscape, complexity and political economy), as well as ethnoarchaeology in Africa and experimental archaeology in South America. Research interests include: urbanism, state formation, imperialism, colonialism, industrialization, art and symbolism, spatial analysis, politics, ritual and religion, human-environment interactions, agricultural systems, material culture, economic anthropology, political economy and the socio-historical context and the history and politics of archaeology. Faculty members have ongoing field research projects in Bolivia, Cambodia, France, India, Peru, Senegal, and the United States (New Orleans and Mexico), and also have research interests in Kenya and Hawai'i.
Teaching in physical anthropology, mainly directed towards evolutionary anthropology and primatology, is offered by Russell Tuttle.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Sony PlayStation 1 & 2' started by itsRANDELL, Jul 12, 2008.
Which one should I get Star Ocean 3 or Rogue Galaxy? And please explain why.
A total bias vote given that I've only played one, but Star Ocean 3 wasn't too bad. If you've played the one for the PSX, it's about the same thing with the few changes as you'd understand. Teams of three now, some skills use HP instead of MP (and hitting MP 0 kills you), and they've changed the PA system too I think. It's been a long while since I've played mind you.
I know SO3 is $20 since I bought it at that price a few years ago, but RG might be that cheap now, I don't know.
Star ocean 3 is really good and by far the better game. However, the voice acting is so terrible that I couldn't bring my self to finish it. Be warned. Rogue Galaxy is a solid experience all the way through. It's not mind blowing but it is good. BTW have you played Xenosaga?
I actually own both. Its hard to say on which one to get because each have their own strong and weak points.
I actually found both to be good, but after I finished Rogue Galaxy I put it away and now its collecting dust. However I still have yet to finish Star Ocean 3 as you can see in my sig and from what I have played so far it is a really good game, yes the VA is well left to be desired, some of the load times....
Overall, I am finding SO3 to be a bit better than Rogue Galaxy but, they both are good in their own ways, just that im finding out that SO3 is more better than Rogue Galaxy in terms of story and its gameplay.
So I would say Star Ocean 3. Anyways nowadays both are dirt cheap and you can probably find them selling for at least 20-30 bucks each so if you got the cash just grab both if you can and judge for yourself

An inconvenient truth: Jews expelled from Arab lands
Nathan Weinstock's groundbreaking book on Jews from Arab lands is now out in Hebrew translation. Here's the official English version of Adi Schwartz's interview with the ex-anti-Zionist Trotskyist in Haaretz, reproduced in the Forward. Now we await the book in English translation:
(Haaretz) — Nathan Weinstock hadn't planned to write a book about the Jews of Arab lands. But when he looked for information about the modern history of Moroccan or Iraqi Jewry, he was surprised to discover that there was no book in French that told the story of the elimination of the Jewish communities in the Middle East and North Africa in the mid-20th century.
"In the end," he says, "I decided to write it myself."
One of the surprising discoveries he made was about the powerful bond with their roots felt by many of the roughly 1 million Jews in North Africa and the Middle East who left their homes in the decade after the creation of Israel.
"The story I knew," Weinstock relates in a Skype interview from his home in Nice, in the south of France, "was that the Jews were happy to leave the Arab countries the moment they were given the opportunity to do so. We were not told anything about the Jews' deep connection with Arab culture, for example. It was only later that I learned that Jewish writers were the foundation of Iraqi literature. And that in mid-19th-century Egypt, the man who invented the nationalist slogan 'Egypt for the Egyptians,' and was known as 'the Egyptian Molière,' was a Jew named Jacob Sanua.
"In the course of my research," he continues, "I found out that the story we had been told – that the Jews left the Arab countries because they were Zionists – was for the most part wrong. True, they had an affinity for the Land of Israel – that is certainly correct – but the organized Zionist movement was very weak in the Arab countries. The great mass of Jews left under duress. They were expelled. They were subjected to such enormous pressure that they had no choice but to leave."

Does anyone know if L'exil au Maghreb by David Littman will be translated into English?
- 3:50 pm, June 02, 2014
Interestingly, Nathan Weinstock's anti-Zionist pamphlet "Le sionisme contre Israel" (1969) is listed in a Bibliography of Moroccan Judaism in French, apparently he already discusses it (but in what way?)on pages 146-147-148 of the book.
I can guess what he was saying then.
Syrian Jew I don't know of any published translation but if there is some specific information you need from that book (something short) I'll be happy to translate it for you.

Syrian Jew you should ask Paul fenton, who is the co-author of L'exil au Maghreb, he is probably still at Paris-Sorbonne

I thought Weinstock asked for all copies of 'Le Sionisme' contre Israel to be withdrawn - so he will not be best pleased to have it listed in a bibliography...
- 5:46 pm, June 02, 2014
Thanks Sylvia
Why did the article have to quote Sami Shalom Chetrit? He is completely dhimmi-fied. Has there ever been a group of people so willing to whitewash the crimes of their oppressors? Why do these people pretend as if they know what it was like to be a jew in 17th century north africa? The Muslims say they treated us wonderfully, so it must be true.
We are our own worst enemies.
- 6:07 pm, June 02, 2014
No, Sami Shalom Shetrit is the antithesis of the dhimmi. He feels that in Israel he is not an equal and he has fought back.
But he is consumed by his rage and it colors his discourse as well as his politics.
Make no mistake, he knows the facts. But he'll select only those that suit his arguments and twist others or lie outright.
This lack of maturity of those intellectuals the likes of S.S. Shetrit, the desire to fit in the Israeli far left- for the same reasons some Jews in Muslim countries called themselves communists - have plagued the intellectual debate among Jews from Arab lands in Israel which remained bogged down in a stupid and sterile matter of identity: yes we're Arab Jews no we aren't Arab Jews.And that's it.
Needless to say, those intellectuals have embraced the narrative and the discourse of the Ashkenazi extreme left on the Jews of Arab lands even though they knew better.
Now it's too late, they can't take it back even if they wanted to.

Sylvia, what you call " the discourse of the Ashkenazi extreme left on the Jews of Arab lands" goes back to the Bolsheviks in 1917 if not earlier. A few months after the Bolshevik coup d'état in the Russian Empire, Stalin's commissariat of nationalities issued an appeal to the Muslim Toilers of the East or some such title. See link for text:
- 9:07 pm, June 02, 2014
I don't quite understand the relation, Eliyahu.
I don't think it comes from Eurocentrism as is generally thought.
I came to the conclusion that it stems from a curious sense of "ownership" of things Jewish, including but not limited to Zionism, Israel, Judaism, Jewish identity, Jewish history...
- 10:48 pm, June 02, 2014
- Eliyahu m'Tsiyon said...
Well, that sense of ownership may be part of it. But don't forget that Communists were taught that Arabs and other Muslims could do no wrong. Even when they did wrong. The British Establishment mainly took that position too. So if Jews from Arab lands complained about their treatment the loyal Communist had to feel anger that these people were making up a tale of victimhood when "everybody knows" that the Arabs and Muslims kind and tolerant toward the Jews, and even the Chief rabbis of Iraq or Egypt told foreigners, including officials of the US American Council for Judaism, that everything was fine, just hunky dory, very tolerant, good relations, eternal friends, generosity and kindness, etc.
If people believe something strongly, whether a lie or not, and you come along and explain to him that his belief is false, then the cognitive dissonance may make him angry. You have disturbed his prejudice. Look, when I was a kid I knew kids and others who blamed the Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus. If you try to argue against that you may have a fight on your hands. Well, Leftists have deep beliefs that are regularly indoctrinated --here in Israel-- by prestigious people. Who are you or who am I to disagree with Yoel Marcus at HaArets? Actually, Haarets did publish a letter of mine in the English edition about something that one of those holy gurus at Haarets had written on a related issue.
But it is hard to argue with people who have deeply ingrained ideas, even if you have proof, etc.
- 11:14 pm, June 02, 2014
- Eliyahu m'Tsiyon said...
If a Jews from an Arab land told of his persecution in Egypt or Libya or Iraq, etc, the Communist or Communist sympathizer had to reject this. After all the Israel CP and MAPAM wanted to attract Arab voters and make peace with Arabs. So party loyalists could not accept the implications of such reports by Jews from Arab lands. And after all, such reports and tales could only be an obstacle to peace with the Arabs.
- 11:20 pm, June 02, 2014
I agree Sylvia....ashkenazim on both the left and right are always trying to be our mouthpiece. However, ideologues like Ella Shohat, Yehuda Shenhav, and Chetrit are a major problem. They are so dedicated to their postmodern narrative of oppressed brown people under the boot of wicked Europeans. This is utterly repugnant that they are willing to whitewash 1300 years of Arab Islamic supremacy and dhimmitude in order to stay faithful to their political views.
- 12:13 am, June 03, 2014
That's why I say they lack maturity. They don't conceive that you can be a strong critic of the self-proclaimed elites (I am) and be pro-Israel or a Zionist. The notion that Israel and Ashkenazim are interchangeable has been impressed upon them since childhood so evidently they view Israel as the father who betrayed them. I see the Ashkenazi "elite" as the partner who defrauded me. And Israel has nothing to do with it.
- 1:37 am, June 03, 2014
Weinstock says he didn't find anything by Muslims on the subject except a small tiny note from Edward Said. Well it didn't take me long to find something from 1965 (13 years before Orientalism) by a Muslim Moroccan and in French:
Said Ghallab
Les Juifs vont en enfer[Jews are going to hell]
Paris, Les Temps Modernes (dir.) Jean-Paul Sartre, #229, June 1965.
Note: Testimony of a Moroccan Muslim on Muslim attitude toward Jews and the latter's attitude toward Muslims. ... An example, quite rare, of a culpability complex in a Muslim regarding Jews.
- 1:54 am, June 03, 2014
As an illustration, Eliahu, here is Machover from Matzpen comparing the immigration of Jews of Arab lands to Israel to the importation of black slaves to the United States. On Mondoweiss, of all places. The sad part is that people like Shenhav and Shetrit really believe it.
Tell us a lesson from the essays in this book.
I think what is important and significant is the view of the conflict, first of all as a colonial one. It is not colonial like South Africa, but the most pertinent parallel is with the United States; Palestinians are "our Indians". The US did not use indigenous labor, and the South imported slaves from far away, imported slave labor from Africa. Zionists imported Oriental Jews. Of course the situation was quite different. They were not slaves, of course, they were "our brethren". They were culturally despised, but they were integrated in the dominant nation.
- 2:03 am, June 03, 2014
Thanks for the info Sylvia.
Aomar Boum, a moroccan Muslim professor in the USA, is also fairly honest about moroccan attitudes towards Jews. He romanticized the relations between jews and Muslims during his childhood, but he also admits the discrimination and strong prejudices that existed.

Eyn Hadash tahat hashemesh
Just by the way, the anti-Zionist propaganda in the USSR and other east European Communist states back in the 1950s when there were still sizable Jewish populations in those places was that Israel was a bourgeois capitalist state where the Zionist bourgeois exploited and oppressed the Jewish working class and only wanted Jewish immigrants as labor to be exploited. This message was meant to deter Jews in those places, mostly Ashkenazim, from sympathizing with Israel or wanting to go there. The message is different but not all that different from what Machover wrote about Mizrahim. Nothing new under the sun. By the way, Machover is one of those in the UK who has been trying to have Israeli officials traveling to London arrested. He and his group want to prosecute any Israeli official who had anything to do with the 20008-2009 Gaza war. In other words, he wants Hamas to be free to shoot rockets at southern Israel, at Sderot, Netivot, Ashdod, etc. Thus he expresses his concern for the Mizrahi Jews living in southern Israel.

if we are talking about Arabs who wrote sympathetically about Israel, we should not forget Abdel Razak Abdel Kader. He wrote "Le conflit judeo-arabe" and "Le monde arabe a la veille d'un tournant." It is interesting that the first book was translated into both Spanish and Italian, and the second book into Italian. Very noteworthy that none of his books was translated into English.
He also published articles in defense of Israel in La Terre Retrouvee [Paris May & June 1967].
He was born in Syria in 1914 but was of Algerian origin, a scion of the famous Emir Abdel Kader. He went to Algeria to live after independence in 1962 and founded a Marxist-Leninist Group which was anti-Ben Bella. In 1963 he was arrested by the regime and spent 13 months in jail before being expelled from the country in 1964.
- 12:56 pm, June 03, 2014
- Eliyahu m'Tsiyon said...
in addition to Abdel Razak Abdel Kader, I forgot to mention Magdi Allam, who wrote Viva Israele in Italian.
Whereas Abdel Kader was a Marxist, Allam is liberal or more or less secular liberal. After writing Viva Israele, he became a Roman Catholic converted by the pope himself [Benedict]. He has been an important Italian journalist for many years and is now with Corriere della Sera
- 1:36 pm, June 03, 2014
There was also an Egyptian activist as I recall whose name I don 't remember right now and we even mentioned him here.
So here are a few off the cuff. And I am not even mentioning the numerous magazine articles. All in French.
But Weinstock didn't find any.
Elyahu, this may be a known fact to you but not to us. I had no idea that I had come to serve as slave labor to some Machover. Frankly, I can't blame the Shetrits and the Shenhavs, they, at least, have an excuse.
- 5:28 pm, June 03, 2014
PS Eliahu- we are not talking about Arabs who wrote sympathetically about Israel. We are talking about Arabs who describe Arab-Jewish relations in the old country, the good, the bad and the ugly.
- 5:34 pm, June 03, 2014
- Eliyahu m'Tsiyon said...
I think I did see that article in Les Temps Modernes before the 6 Day War. But did not read it at the time. As to the other names that I mentioned, I think that may be they did not deal with the treatment of Jews IN Arab lands, that is, with Jews as dhimmis.
On the other hand, some Arab-speaking Xians, maybe Samuel Tadros, a Copt, and some Lebanese have agreed with Bat Yeor on this point. She mentioned agreement from Bashir Gemayel. Some Muslims, including Arabs, who are now academics or professionals in the West, may have agreed on this issue in recent years.
As to Machover and his comrades, I view him and them as fanatics impervious to truth and reason, inclined to lie for the cause. My point about him was that some of the things he said about immigration to Israel were similar to what the Communists in eastern Europe were saying to the local Jews back in the 1950s. Communists often talk in standardized themes & formulas and slogans --which may sometimes have some truth to them. But my point was that in some sense, to some extent, machover was repeating old slogans and formulas.
What is curious about machover & his comrades is that they typically talk against imperialism and see imperialism as using Israel. [if they claim that Israel is behind the imperialists, then they are already Nazis]. However, they have their base in Britain and Britain according to Marxist-Leninism is imperialist. But they have little to say against the UK as far as I know. So are they really anti-imperialist by Marxist-leninist standards??

Abstract: Spatial Dynamics of Specialist Seed Predators on Synchronized and Intermittent Seed Production of Host Plants
Masting, the synchronized and intermittent seed production by plant populations, provides highly variable food resource for seed predators, which can minimize losses to the predators through satiation and extinction of local seed predator populations. Specialist seed predators, in turn, counter against masting through dispersal or extended diapause. We developed a resource-consumer model to understand ecological consequences of the interaction between masting plants and specialist seed predators. Masting dynamics is quantified by a resource-based model for plant reproduction. The dynamics of the predator is assumed to follow a spatially-extended Nicholson-Bailey model. The resultant model shows that when host plants show intermittent reproduction, seed predator populations go locally extinct, but global persistence of the predator can be ensured due to dispersal to adjacent plants. Global extinction of the predator results when intermittent reproduction is highly synchronized among plants. An approximate invasion criterion for the predators shows that negative lag-1 auto- and cross-correlation in seeding prevent invasibility of the predators. Spatial synchrony in seeding at local scale due to pollen coupling (or climate forcing) further prevents invasion of the predators. If the predators employ extended diapause, extremely high variability in reproduction across years is required for plants to evade the predators.
Key words: masting, synchrony, dispersal, spatial dynamics, predator satiation, invasibility..
