 Jabotinsky, Vladimir on Encyclopedia.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A fiery orator and an accomplished writer in several languages, he was a militant Zionist and a persistent advocate of Jewish self-defense against pogroms in Russia.
He formed the first Jewish self-defense unit in Palestine during the clashes with the Arabs in 1920; this brought him into open conflict with the British.
In 1925 he founded the Zionist Revisionist organization, which advocated large-scale Jewish immigration into Palestine and the creation of a Jewish state on both sides of the Jordan River.

 The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Mexico
This upheaval paved the way for three waves of mass Jewish immigration, the first of which was sparked in 1882 by the death of the Russian Tzar.
Jewish philanthropists considered Mexican Jewry a worthy recipient of aid and, in 1891, the Baron de Hirsch Fund, along with the Jewish Colonization Association (JCA) planned large-scale Jewish agricultural settlements in Mexico, much like the kibbutzim the philanthropists were developing in Israel.
The second wave of Jewish immigration peaked between 1911 and 1913 as a result of the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

Regiment of the British Army formed in 1917 to provide for the religious and dietary conditions of members of the Jewish faith.
It was sent to Palestine in 1918 and gained a reputation as a reliable fighting unit but was disbanded in 1919.
The regiment was able to provide the necessary dietary and religious conditions required by members of the Jewish faith and its strength was bolstered by local enlistment of Palestinian Jews and also Russian Jewish emigrants to the USA who travelled to Palestine to enlist.

 Antisemitic Prejudices in Contemporary Hungary
Having standardized the scales — as the result of which their average became zero and their standard deviation one — we used cluster analysis to place the survey participants into groups according to degree of prejudice.
Missing responses were treated differently in the second and third procedures: in one case we employed missing pairwise technique, in the other case missing responses were substituted by the mean of the total replies (mean substitution), and thus were included in the calculations.
Having established the scales, we performed cluster analysis on the basis of the respondents scores on all three scales.

 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Addressing first the issue of the scale of the killings by gas at the Reinhard camps, it was Longerich’s opinion that the policy of exterminating Jews by the use of gas was an extension or development of the programme of shooting Jews which had commenced in the late autumn of 1941.
I have used the phrase "kept in ignorance" in the preceding paragraph because it is part of the positive case advanced by Irving that the genocidal use of the gas chambers at the Reinhard camps was planned and implemented by Heydrich and overseen by Himmler.
As I have already observed, in the course of the trial Irving modified his position: he accepted that there was at least one gas chamber (or "cellar") at Auschwitz, albeit used solely or mainly for the fumigation of clothing.

There is often confusion when one speaks of modes, scales and such to a person who may not be accustomed to this subject, so we will take some time to explain the matter at this point.
Note that although the scale is now played differently and although it definitely sounds differently, there are still 6 full tones separating the notes in the scales.
Now a mode is simply a scale which may be the same scale as a different mode but is played with a different base note, changing the way a scale sounds slightly, but usually modes have scales that are unique and independent of any other mode.

 The age of unreason: American diplomacy, zionist propaganda and the Palestinian catastrophe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Economist observed that Palestine was becoming 'the battlefield for an all-out war between the British and Jewish extremists.' Palestinians might have taken offense that this summary failed to mention them, and it bode ill that the military terms of engagement had been defined by the non-Arab combatants.
David Ben-Gurion of the Jewish Agency expressed full confidence that they would be able to establish their own state, and that they would do so even if the United Nations were to reverse its support for the partition plan.
The declaration of a Jewish state in May 1948 was met with long-threatened intervention by the Arab League, which the Zionist militias vastly outnumbered and whose equipment, supplies and training were incomparable.

 Lebanon 1982: The Imbalance Of Political Ends And Military Means
The Prophet was angered that the Jewish citizens of Medina had failed to accept his new religion, and began a campaign to divest Islam of certain practices which seemed to have a Jewish basis.
Their program was succinctly captured in the phrase: "a people without a land for a land without people." It was a simple and catchy slogan, but it was also false; Palestine had people, the descendents of the Arab conquerers who had been on the land since the seventh century.
The Jewish population of the country is only a little over three million, which means that Israel bears a heavy burden in any situation which threatens the lives of its citizens.

To the point where one could almost speak of a 'geopolitics at the household scale' (Taylor and Flint 2000: 352 ff.), a 'geopolitics of the agora and city street,' as bizarre as it may sound.

 Hear O' Israel Festivals | Jewish Voice Ministries International
I brought close to a dozen people to the Lord; one Orthodox Jewish woman in particular was waiting for me outside afterward, and when I came over to her she declared, "I want you to bring me to Yeshua!" This was, by far, one of the most spiritually fulfilling festivals I've ever attended."
The fellowship with the Jewish brothers and sis-ters as they sowed into my Gentile spirit giving me new revelation and know-ledge toward our Hebraic roots was very rewarding.
What better way is there to show your love for the Jewish people than to help them attend a festival where they can worship, be blessed, and for many, hear the Good News presented from a Jewish perspective for the first time.

 Zionism And Its Impact By Ann M. Lesch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
These concerns were exacerbated by Jewish immigration: the yishuv comprised 28 percent of the population by 1936 and reached 32 percent by 1947 (click here to view map of Palestinian vs. Jewish population distribution as of 1946).
Weizmann proposed that the boundaries should be the Mediterranean Sea on the west; Sidon, the Litani River, and Mount Hermon on the north; all of Transjordan west of the Hijaz railway on the east; and a line across Sinai from Aqaba to al-Arish on the south.
According to Article 3 of the Constitution of the Jewish Agency, the land was held by the Jewish National Fund as the inalienable property of the Jewish people; ONLY Jewish labor could be employed in the settlements, Palestinians protested bitterly against this inalienability clause.

 The Avalon Project : Nazi Conspriracy and Aggression Volume 3 - The Stroop Report
It was administered by the Jewish Board of Elders, who received their instructions from the Commissioner for the Ghetto, who was immediately subordinated to the Governor.
During the large-scale operation the Aryan population was informed by posters that it was strictly forbidden to enter the former Jewish Ghetto and that anybody caught within the former Ghetto without valid pass would be shot.
In contrast to the previous days, it seems that those members of the main body of the Jewish battle group who are still in existence and have not been destroyed have retired into the ruins still within their reach, with the intention of firing from there against our men and inflicting casualties.

They tell us: there is a scale of values for the exile, and a scale of values for the redemption, for the return to Zion.
These two scales, these two Torot, are not the same, but differ from each other; and today all must be set aside in favor of the reckoning of the redemption of the land.
We are all united by the desire to reinstate the Torah-of-life and the peace-of-Israel at the head of the scale of priorities; we are troubled and disturbed by the growing identification between extreme nationalism and Torah and mitzvot.

 Two for the Price of One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Jewish calendar is lunar: The months begin with the advent of the new moon; the full moon marks the middle of the month, and the month comes to a close when the moon is once again a tiny sliver.
Until the naming of the Jewish months, they were simply known as the "first month", the "second month", and so on, starting their counting with the month of Nissan (when Passover falls out) and NOT with Tishrei (Rosh Hashana).
To give you a bit of perspective of where in time we are, it is believed that Abraham was born in the year 1948 of the Jewish calendar; the Exodus was 2448, the modern state of Israel established in 5708 (1948 CE).

In a poll last year, 81% of Jewish respondents said they saw Bush as a strong supporter of Israel, and 46% said they were more likely to vote for him because of the 'war on terrorism.' In 2000, only 18% of Jewish-Americans voted for Bush.
Nivelo, who is not Jewish, lifted a live carp out of a box of iced-down fish and was about to club it in the head.

 AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE SURVEY: U.S. JEWS FAVOR KERRY OVER BUSH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The poll represents a decline in Jewish support for President Bush -- an AJC poll conducted last December found the president gaining 31 percent, compared to 59 percent for Senator Kerry, at a time when he was still in a primary battle.
If it is accurate that the Jewish vote will go for Kerry, the reasoning is beyond me. Those very close to the democrat party, are very sympathetic to the Palestinians, and think their terrorists are nothing more than freedom fighters.
Jewish votes are concentrated in NY CA and FL...only the latter state is seriously in play.

 Jewish Law - Commentary/Opinion - Planet Under Siege, Halakhic Rescue Needed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The high priest is reported to have offered a brief prayer right outside the Holy of Holies, which concluded with the curious petition that "the prayers of road travellers not be accepted before You." Rashi explains that wayfarers would beseech the Almighty to suspend rainfall, apparently hoping to enable navigation of roads.
Evidently, on the Jewish scale of priorities, the value of  society's health and welfare supercedes the needs of people who wish to travel roads, and so it makes perfect sense to assert that car drivers should be inconvenienced for the sake of preserving a local atmosphere breathable to human beings.
A halakhic article in Tradition recommends that the Jewish community  become more informed about genetic screening as a means of assisting in the prevention of cancer, insisting that ignoring it is unacceptable in light of the divine providence that has made this technology available for our medical benefit.

 IN DEFENSE OF PALESTINE
Fear of Jewish domination was the principal cause of the Arab revolt that broke out in 1936 and continued intermittently until 1939.
Around the turn of the first century ad the Jewish presence in the region was nearly eliminated when the Romans expelled them from the region, thus creating the second exile or 'diaspora'.
And yet because Christian mythology is rooted in Jewish mythology the so-called 'Christian world' feels some obligation to pay at least lip service to it because to deny it would to a degree deny their own mythological roots.
