Antisemitism
Israel must lead Diaspora
Jewry
by Isi Leibler
The Jerusalem Post, June 18th 2002
http://www.jpost.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=JPost/A/JPArticle/Full&cid=1023716506947
Against the backdrop of the virulent outbreaks of European
Antisemitism and their lesser counterpart in North
America, emerge questions about young Jewish people
who are removed from their Jewish sources, post-Zionist,
or even anti-Zionist. In addition, there are those
who would isolate the struggle against Antisemitism
from the efforts to support Israel ("importing
the problems of the Middle East"), in the mistaken
belief that the distinction will lessen hostility.
Apart from the stand of the French leadership on the
unity of the issue, most Jewish communities lack a
leadership representative of the "best and brightest"
to plan forwards, and Israel has largely neglected
this responsibility since the Oslo Accords. Diplomatic
caliber is at an all-time low and communities are
udergoing continuous "Dezionization", despite
the fact that their future is inextricably twined
with that of the State of Israel. Israel should take
concerted action to engage with and invest in its
relationship with the Diaspora for the benefit of
the communities and a united front against the current
problems.
Arafat &
the Terror Record
60 Minutes: The Arafat Papers
[his link with Iran and Iraq]

Rumors about links between the PA, and international
terror groups have always been denied by Yasser Arafat
and dismissed in the western media as propaganda designed
to discredit Arafat. A recent CBS 60 Minutes segment
reveals some of the secret documents captured by Israeli
soldiers from Arafat’s compound in Ramallah during
their recent operation there earlier in the year.
The documents not only implicate Arafat as being directly
involved, but they also show just how much of a part
the terror network plays in PA politics.

Thoughtful and meaningful pause before the solemn prayers
of Yom Kippur to analyze just what it means for the
Israeli public to have experienced over 14,000 terror
incidents, with casualties primarily among the civilian
population: 619 killed by snipers, machine gun mad
infiltrators, booby traps, car bombs, homicide bombers,
knifings, lynches, with almost 5,000 people injured.

Policy Considerations

Jerusalem Post
Wednesday July 31st 2002

After a long history of UN resolutions condemning Israel,
at last comes a welcome change in US policy at the
UN Security Council as delivered by the US Ambassador
to the UN, John Negroponte, demanding the explicit
condemnation of Palestinian terrorism as well as the
groups which perpetrate it, an address of Israel's
security needs and a call to return to negotiations
and diplomacy. Syria's latest condemnation of Israel
therefore failed to pass. The UN's recent partiality
towards calls from Arab states is highlighted in quotations
from Kofi Annan, Terje Larsen and rounded out with
US Congressman Tom Lantos' protest to Annan at UNWRA's
complicity in terrorism.
