	Nili - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nili (Hebrew language: נילי) was the name of a Jewish espionage network which assisted the United Kingdom in its fight against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine during World War I.
		According to Chaim Herzog, the group was motivated to assist the British after Sarah witnessed genocidal acts perpetrated upon Armenians by the Ottoman Turks.
		In the fall of 1917, one of these pigeons was caught by the Turks, who were able to decrypt the Nili code (based on Hebrew, Aramaic, French and English) within one week.

	Nili
		Nili was founded by a number of Jews in the moshavot who believed that the future of the Jews depended on Palestine (Eretz Yisrael) being taken over by Britain.
		In September 1917, the Turks caught a carrier pigeon sent from Atlit to Egypt with clear proof of espionage within the Jewish population.
		The leadership of the Yishuv and the Ha-Shomer organization dissociated itself from Nili's actions.

	Nili Kook resume
		Amnon Barzel on Nili Kook, Rome, 1999:...The possibility of listening to [the visual echoes of] Nili Kook's sculptures reveals a concentrated silence that stores tensions within it: tensions which form an arch in the marble, smoothen feminine curves, create a slight distortion in the figure that acquires a metallic patina.
		With an impulse as old as human civilization, to recreate that which does not exist: a figure in stone, a body in clay or wax, cast in bronze, faces with a gaze in their eyes that does not fade away.
		Joseph Agassi on Nili Kook: Nili Kook was educated in a few countries and absorbed diverse cultures and a delicate artistic taste.
