Neo Anti-Semitism in Today's Italy - Sergio I. Minerbi The idea of a cultural embargo is horrible, also because the principal forces fighting for peace and for an understanding with the Arab world reside in the Israeli universities. The new kind of anti-Semitism he introduced is that of a liberal intellectual who is very much in vogue and who finds it necessary to attack Jews in general and Israel in particular, for the purpose of promoting himself. At the end of the day, a strong message in defense of liberty came from Jerusalem, out of the state of laws, of parliamentary democracy, of a humanist army, capable of everything for the love of those values which were its foundation. www.jcpa.org /phas/phas-minerbi-f03.htm   (9909 words)

JUF News and Public Affairs After Eitan drowned Tuesday while braving winter squalls to inspect a pier he built off Ashdod port, friends and colleagues voiced no surprise at the fate of the 75-year-old former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff. After Israel was born, he went on to serve in all its wars, leading the country's only deployment of troops by parachute, the 1956 operation against Egyptian forces in the Mitla Pass. Eitan quit politics in 1999 after his party failed to win any Knesset seats in the general election, returning to work as an olive farmer, encouraging disadvantaged youths to gain professional experience during their military service and pursuing several construction projects, including the port at Ashdod. www.juf.org /news_public_affairs/article.asp?key=5586   (594 words)

Israel's Sacred Terrorism by Livia Rokach The Zionist military forces that invaded Palestine in 1948 also occupied part of the district of Marjayun and Bint Jubayl, and reached the vicinity of the Litani River, but were forced to withdraw under international pressure. Although the 1949-50 armistice agreements assigned to Israel a territory one-third larger than had the UN partition plan, the Israeli leadership was still notsatisfied with the size of the state, the borders of which it had committed itself to respect on the international level. After the war, while the British Mandate was established in Palestine, he graduated from the London School of Economics, and shortly thereafter entered political activity in the ranks of Labor Zionism. www.geocities.com /alabasters_archive/sacred_terror.html   (18811 words)
