The Divided States of Europe
Europe continues to be engulfed by economic crisis. The global focus
returns to Athens on June 28 as Greek parliamentarians debate austerity
measures imposed on them by eurozone partners. If the Greeks vote down
these measures, Athens will not receive its second bailout, which could
create an even worse crisis in Europe and the world.
It is important to understand that the crisis is not fundamentally about
Greece or even about the indebtedness of the entire currency bloc.
After all, Greece represents only 2.5 percent of the eurozone’s gross
domestic product (GDP), and the bloc’s fiscal numbers are not that bad
when looked at in the aggregate. Its overall deficit and debt figures
are in a better shape than those of the United States — the U.S. budget
deficit stood at 10.6 percent of GDP in 2010, compared to 6.4 percent
for the European Union — yet the focus continues to be on Europe. Read more »

Tomgram: Andrew Bacevich, War Fever Subsides in Washington
Imagine yourself in a typical
"Twilight Zone" episode.
You’ve been tossing and turning in delirium for some time and now, to
your astonishment, you wake up to find yourself in an almost
unrecognizable world. Your country, the former “sole superpower” on
planet Earth, is in domestic gridlock, a financial hole, and can’t win a
war anywhere anytime. The United States is looking strangely like
what a past American president
once called “a pitiful, helpless giant.” The Democratic peace president is presiding over
numerous wars and sending American planes and pilotless drones off to bomb and missile
countries you didn’t even know existed, and yet when he
speaks to the world, when he tells other countries and other leaders what they “must” do, no one seems to be listening.
Befuddlingly enough, a number of the politicians who were war hawks not so long ago are now demanding that funding for American wars be cut off or that American troops be brought home at a faster pace; some are even suggesting that the Pentagon budget should be cut. The ranks of the miniscule antiwar camp in Washington have swelled remarkably and with an array of unexpected faces. The usual political alliances seem to be cracking open. And above all, though you can see that America’s wars are likely to grind on haplessly for years, it’s also increasingly evident that once familiar political ground is shifting uneasily, and that something is happening here, even if you don’t know what it is. (Do you, Mr. Jones?)
This being our state today, TomDispatch has taken the prudent step of calling in the doctor. So today, Andrew Bacevich, author most recently of the bestselling Washington Rules: America’s Path to Permanent War, takes America’s temperature, prescribing rest and a lot less activity abroad in hopes that the patient will actually recover. (To catch Timothy MacBain’s latest TomCast audio interview in which Bacevich discusses voices of dissent within the military, click here, or download it to your iPod here.) Tom

On the Mend?
America Comes to Its Senses
By Andrew J. Bacevich
At periodic intervals, the American body politic has shown a marked susceptibility to messianic fevers. Whenever an especially acute attack occurs, a sort of delirium ensues, manifesting itself in delusions of grandeur and demented behavior.
By the time the condition passes and a semblance of health is restored, recollection of what occurred during the illness tends to be hazy. What happened? How’d we get here? Most Americans prefer not to know. No sense dwelling on what’s behind us. Feeling much better now! Thanks!
Gripped by such a fever in 1898, Americans evinced an irrepressible impulse to liberate oppressed Cubans. By the time they’d returned to their senses, having acquired various parcels of real estate between Puerto Rico and the Philippines, no one could quite explain what had happened or why. (The Cubans meanwhile had merely exchanged one set of overseers for another.)
In 1917, the fever suddenly returned. Amid wild ravings about waging a war to end war, Americans lurched off to France. This time the affliction passed quickly, although the course of treatment proved painful: confinement to the charnel house of the Western Front, followed by bitter medicine administered at Versailles.
The 1960s brought another bout (and so yet more disappointment). An overwhelming urge to pay any price, bear any burden landed Americans in Vietnam. The fall of Saigon in 1975 seemed, for a brief interval, to inoculate the body politic against any further recurrence. Yet the salutary effects of this “Vietnam syndrome” proved fleeting. By the time the Cold War ended, Americans were running another temperature, their self-regard reaching impressive new heights. Out of Washington came all sorts of embarrassing gibberish about permanent global supremacy and history’s purpose finding fulfillment in the American way of life.

Germany: Israel Accepted Prisoner Swap with Hamas (AP-San Francisco Chronicle)
On Monday, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert confirmed that Israel had accepted a proposal by a German mediator to free Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas-linked militants in Gaza five years ago, but that "so far, Hamas regrettably has not yet accepted this proposal."
Israel Upset with Jordan over Condemnation of Jerusalem's Old City Renovation - Danna Harman (Ha'aretz)
Israel's ambassador to UNESCO Nimrod Barkan said Monday that Israel is shocked that Jordan had led a successful effort within the international body to condemn Israel over renovations planned for the Mughrabi Gate Bridge in Jerusalem's Old City - after signing an agreement with Israel to allow the work to go ahead.
"The Jordanians lied in a way that cannot be believed, both to us and to the Americans," Barkan said.
Israel Trumps the Arab World (The Peninsula-Qatar)
A comparative study of Arab nations and Israel on "Scientific Research and Patent Rights Compared," by Palestinian researcher Dr. Khalid Said Rubaia, found that Israel has registered 16,805 patents, while Arab countries have only 836 patents - 5% percent of what Israel has.
Israel spends 4.7% of its total GDP on scientific research, the highest in the world, while Arab states spend 0.2%.
On per capita spending on scientific research, Israel is number one with $1,272.8. The U.S. is second with $1,205.9 and Japan third with $1,153.3.
The Arab countries spend an average of $14.7 annually per capita. The oil-rich Asian Arab countries spend $11.9 per capita.
Promised Land Awaits 7,500 Mizo Jews in India (Times of India)
At least 7,500 Mizo Jews from Mizoram and Manipur will migrate to Israel, which they refer to as their Promised Land, this year.
"Preparations for a mass migration to the Promised Land are on. The lost tribes from the northeast will go to Israel in the later half of this year after their peers from South America migrate to that country," said Jeremiah Hnamte, one of the leaders of the Aizawl-based Bnei Menashe.
Zaithanchhungi, a Mizo researcher, said the Bnei Menashe had once migrated to the two northeastern Indian states after traveling through China and were still following the Jewish culture and traditions in many ways.
In 2005, Israel's Chief Rabbinate officially recognized the Bnei Menashe as descendants of Israel. About 1,700 Bnei Menashe have migrated to Israel so far.
Shalem Gin, 20, who immigrated to Israel from Mizoram in 1995, has become the first person from his community to be an officer in the Israel Defense Forces.

- Iran Unveils Missile Silos as It Begins War Games - William J. Broad
Iranian state television on Monday broadcast images of silos deep underground, saying they held medium- and long-range missiles ready to hit distant targets. The report showed footage of an underground launching pad for the Shahab-3 missile, which has a range of about 1,250 miles.
Col. Asghar Qelichkhani said the missiles were permanently in the vertical position and "ready to hit the predetermined targets." Last year, the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London reported "emerging evidence" of Iranian silos that could fire missiles at Iraq, Israel, Turkey and countries throughout the Persian Gulf. The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Aerospace Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said with these installations "we are certain that we can confront unequal enemies and defend the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Judges from the International Criminal Court on Monday issued an arrest warrant for Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, his son, and a top military intelligence chief, calling for them to stand trial for crimes against humanity in connection with a violent crackdown on antigovernment protesters. They are accused of killing and persecuting hundreds of Libyan civilians since the government began suppressing public protests Feb. 15.
In issuing the ruling, Judge Sanji Monageng of Botswana said there was sufficient evidence to believe that the three Libyans have committed the crimes and that their arrest was necessary to ensure they appear before the Hague-based court and to prevent them from continuing further crimes.

- Some Flotilla Activists Seek to Harm Israeli Soldiers - Barak Ravid
Senior officials in Jerusalem said Monday that Israel has received information that organizers of the Gaza flotilla may be bringing chemical substances on the ships to use against Israeli soldiers. They also said several extremists among the participants had recently claimed that they intend on "shedding the blood of IDF soldiers." Moreover, despite earlier reports, activists from the Turkish organization IHH will be joining several of the ships sailing for Gaza. (Ha'aretz) - Israeli Who Accidentally Entered Palestinian Village Nearly Lynched - Omri Ephraim
Nir Nachshon was on his way home when a GPS device mistake caused him to mistakenly enter the Palestinian village of Issawiya in east Jerusalem Sunday night. Speaking from his hospital bed, he said, "Just as I made the turn, I figured out that I made a mistake, but I didn't realize how big the issue was. This is Jerusalem. This is home." "Immediately when I made the turn a 12-year-old boy started screaming 'Jew, Jew.' Each time he called out dozens more people arrived." That is when they started throwing rocks and cement blocks into the car. "All I could see was murder in their eyes. I felt my life would be over at any minute."
Nir then described how his life was saved: "Someone came out of nowhere and tried to rescue me from the people; there was screaming but he managed to get me to his house." The rescuers were one of the village's muhtars and his sons, who took him to a police patrol car waiting outside the village.

Israeli security forces have arrested a terror cell belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which planned to carry out terror attacks in the Jerusalem area and to abduct an Israeli soldier, it was revealed Monday. (Ha'aretz)
- The Floating Gaza Strip Show - Editorial
Anti-Israel activists are launching a fresh high-seas publicity stunt. Freedom Flotilla II is a public-relations exploit in the guise of a humanitarian relief effort. Conditions in Gaza are far from the crisis activists would have the world believe. The people aren't starving, and they don't want for basic medical care. Two luxury hotels reportedly will open soon in Gaza, along with a new multilevel shopping mall. Life expectancy in Gaza is 74, seven years above the world average and higher than in Egypt, India or Russia. Infant mortality is less than half the world average. (Washington Times) - Hizbullah and Syria: Who Abandoned Who? - Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid
Today Hizbullah's enemies have multiplied to the extent that Israel is now the least of their worries. More than half of the Lebanese people are against Hizbullah, while most Arabs are against them as well, and Syria seems to have abandoned them or at least distanced themselves. The majority of Sunnis in Lebanon view Hizbullah with suspicion, or indeed hatred, because they believe that Hizbullah was responsible for the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, as well as for occupying areas of Beirut three years ago. In addition, at least half the Christian population of Lebanon oppose Hizbullah, demanding that it give up its arms, fearing that Hizbullah wants to establish an Islamic republic along the lines of Iran.
Syria has been Hizbullah's neighbor, ally, and protector for over 30 years. However, the popular uprising is witnessing demonstrators openly chanting anti-Hizbullah slogans and accusing the group of supporting the al-Assad regime in suppressing the demonstrators. Hizbullah's seeking to dominate Lebanon by force will be confronted and face severe challenges in the forthcoming stage. Hizbullah's pretext of confronting Israel has been removed since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon 11 years ago. Since then, Hizbullah has transformed into an organization that serves Iran's interests. Syria seems to have given up playing the role of custodian and ally to Hizbullah, even before the situation in Damascus is resolved. (Asharq Alawsat-UK) - How Arab Media View a Declaration of Palestinian Statehood - Linda Menuhin Abdul Aziz
Unlike the vibrant debate in Israel over the Palestinian plan to seek support for statehood in September in the UN General Assembly, the Arab media is occupied with the wave of changes sweeping Arab countries, leaving little room for discussion of the projected Palestinian plan. The Arab media predicts that a declaration of statehood by the Palestinians would not result in any immediate changes on the ground. Any Palestinian state would lack sovereignty and authority, with borders dictated by certain facts - the security fence, the settlements, and Israeli control of Jerusalem, as well as continued economic dependence on Israel. (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) - Libya: The Lost War - Amitai Etzioni
Despite the fact that I predict that the stalemate in the U.S.-led intervention in Libya will not last, and Gaddafi will either be killed or quit, there are several strong reasons to conclude that the mission has already failed, including, of course, that it is still ongoing. For one thing, the leaders of Iran cannot but conclude that a nation that gives up its program of obtaining of WMDs - as Gaddafi's Libya did - is much more vulnerable to Western intervention than a nation that succeeds in acquiring them, as North Korea did. At the same time, the U.S., already mired in three wars in the Muslim world and desperately looking for ways to cut its deficit, has shown that it would rather have others doing the intervening and has no stomach for another war. (National Interest)
- Gaza is under siege, Israelis will tell you, because weapons are fired from it into Israel, threatening the lives of Israeli children. If the blockade is lifted there is a fear that more lethal and far-reaching weapons will be acquired, and the lives of more Israeli children endangered.
- The boat on which Alice Walker will be traveling will be carrying, she tells us, "Letters expressing solidarity and love." Solidarity is a political term implying commonality of interest or aspiration. So what interest or aspiration does Alice Walker and her fellow travelers share with the people of Gaza? A longing to live in peace? Is the firing of rockets from Gaza an expression of such a longing? And what about the declared hostility of Hamas to the very existence of Israel?
- Hamas,
we are often told, is the elected government of Gaza, a government that
fairly represents the wishes of its people. In which case we must
assume that Hamas' implacable hostility towards Israel fairly represents
the implacable hostility felt by the people of Gaza. Are Alice Walker's
letters of love and solidarity solid with the people of Gaza in that
hostility?

1. Netanyahu: Abbas, Just Say the Six Words
by Gil Ronen
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called on Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas to "just say six words - 'I will accept the Jewish state" - in his address to the Jewish Agency Board of Governors Tuesday,
"Palestinian society is split now between those who actively are prepared to use force, violence, terror and war to wipe us out and those who refuse stand up to that first half," he said. "That’s basically the division there. This remains the heart of the problem."
Nevertheless, he added, "I understand that we will have to have a historic compromise which is very painful, so I stood before my people, the people of Israel, and I said numerous times that I will accept a Palestinian state. Now President Abbas must stand before his people and he has to say these six words, 'I will accept the Jewish State.'"
"He has to say it. And I will repeat this over and over and over again because it is the attempt to fudge, it’s the attempt to fudge and evade and obscure this essential component of peace, the removal of this basic obstacle to peace, that is required, and this is what the international community must face up to."
Regarding the demilitarization of the future "Palestinian state," Netanyahu repeated the formulations he used in his speech to the joint session of Congress.
"We don’t want a repeat of what happened when we withdrew from Gaza or from South Lebanon. I believe that this will require for Israel to maintain a long-term military presence along the Jordan River. There will be arguments about sovereignty, about territory, but I think that... demilitarization and a long-term military presence along the Jordan River are essential to guaranteeing any peace. A peace you cannot defend will not hold. A peace you can defend will."
Netanyahu said Israel would incorporate within its final borders "what are called the settlement blocs, these large, urban communities that are fairly dense and concentrated alongside Greater Tel Aviv and Greater Jerusalem, and other areas of critical, strategic and national importance..."
"We believe also that Jerusalem must remain united, under Israeli sovereignty. It’s the only time in its millennial history that it has assured the free and unfettered access of all three monotheistic religions to their holy places."

2. Lebanese MP: Hizbullah Openly Transporting Arms from Syria
by Aryeh Ben Hayim
Lebanaese MP Antoine Saad, an ally of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and an opponent of the current Hizbullah dominated government, said Tuesday that Hizbullah is publicly relocating its weapons from Syria to Lebanon due to the current crisis in Syria.
Saad told Al-Mustaqbal newspaper that “the overland transfer is taking place day and night and without any control,” and that the weapons are being dispersed to Hizbullah strongholds in South Lebanon, Baalbeck, Hermel and the terrorist organization's bastions in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
“These weapons are to be used against Israel in the future, so Hizbullah needs ammunition to be able to resist in a long term war,” added Saad.
While the former March 14 Alliance led by Saad Hariri is opposed to Israel it considers Syria and Hizbullah to be the major threats to Lebanon. While in power the Alliance criticized Hizbullah for triggering a war with Israel that brought destruction to Lebanon without having consulted the democratically elected leadership.

3. Rav Michel Lefkovitz Laid to Rest
by Gil Ronen
Tens of thousands of people took part Tuesday morning in the funeral procession of Rav Michel Yehuda Lefkovitz, who was the Head of the Ponevezh Yeshiva Letzirim (yeshiva for younger men) and a member of the Council of Torah Sages (Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah) of Degel HaTorah.
The funeral departed at 10:30 A.M. from the Rabbi’s home at Vilkomirer Street in Bnei Berak.
Police closed down several streets for the event. Due to the heavy heat, the Hatzalah organization handed out water to the public.
The Rabbi died Monday at the age of 97 at Shaarei Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem. He was transferred at 11:00 P.M. to his home in Bnei Berak where a multitude received it with cries of pain. At the synagogue in the yeshiva he headed, the “parochet” curtain was removed from the Torah Ark as a sign of mourning.
Mourning the Rabbi Monday / Flash 90.
The rabbi requested that only his two sons eulogize him and that they refrain from praising him too much. His son said that the rabbi treated each student like his own son, and remembered the questions each person asked him, including details on where the person stood when he asked the question.
Mayor of Bnei Berak said Tuesday morning that police expect between 60 and 80 thousand people at the funeral.
Rav Lefkovitz was a student of Rabbi Shlomo Heiman and of the Chazon Ish. He published Chiddushei Rabbi Shlomo, the teachings of Rav Shlomo Heiman.
The rabbi was hospitalized on Shabbat in critical condition after he lost consciousness during the third Sabbath meal, Seuda Shlishit.
Rabbi Lefkowitz was considered one of the greatest sages of his generation by the Lithuanian hareidi-religious stream. Two weeks ago he was hospitalized at Ma'aynei HaYeshua hospital in Bnei Brak but was released after he felt better.

4. Hundreds of Samaria Residents Protest Rabbi Lior’s Arrest
by Elad Benari
Hundreds of Samaria residents took part throughout the day on Monday in protests over the arrest and questioning of Rabbi Dov Lior, rabbi of Kiryat Arba.
One of the protests took place near the entrance to Shechem, where 300 residents blocked the entrance to the city for more than an hour.
During the demonstration, Samaria’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, said: “The State is hurting itself first and foremost - the judiciary system is setting itself above the legislature. The State Attorney’s Office controls the state and this is a dangerous recipe for destruction of the democratic state.”
Benny Katzover, who heads the grassroots Samaria Residents’ Council, warned during the demonstration that Rabbi Lior’s arrest will stir things up.
“This is an intolerable and outrageous act, the likes of which we have not seen,” he said. “Throughout history, we protested over regimes that lowered the dignity of Jewish rabbis and here in the Jewish state, the Israeli police allows itself to degrade the rabbi of Kiryat Arba. The police are mindlessly throwing the match that will cause many people to react with outrage.”
Another protest took place in the Shavei Shomron junction, where about 50 people blocked the intersection for about an hour. Rabbi Yehoshua Schmidt, the head of the Hesder Yeshiva in Shavei Shomron, said during the protest, “We see the continued harassment of the great men of Israel. There has never been anything like this - Jews hurting great and important rabbis whose students serve the country and build the Land of Israel. This is a slap in the face to the good among the people of Israel.”
In a third incident, dozens of residents blocked the Jit junction near Kedumim. Police arrested two boys.
The protests in Samaria followed another protest in Jerusalem, where hundreds of nationalist activists blocked the main entrance to the city and Shmuel HaNavi junction in protest over Rabbi Lior’s arrest.
The basis for the arrest remains unclear, but it is likely connected to an arrest warrant issued earlier this year for Rabbi Lior, after he refused to report to the police for questioning over an endorsement he gave to a book by Rabbi Yizhak Shapira entitled Torat Hamelech. The book discusses the halakhot of waging war and taking non-Jewish lives in battle.
At the time, Rabbi Lior explained he believed he was not obligated to appear before the police, despite the normative practice that one follows the law of the land, because it was Torah itself being put on trial.
Monday’s arrest was met with rage by the religious Zionist leadership in Israel.

5. Rabbi Melamed: ‘For Shame!’
by Gil Ronen
Rabbi Zalman Melamed, Head of Beit El Yeshiva and of the community of Beit El, harshly condemned the arrest of Rabbi Dov Lior Monday morning.
“Rabbi Lior Shlita’s arrest, more than it affects his dignity or that of Torah, detracts from the dignity of the State of Israel and even more so, of the police and prosecution,” he said, adding:
“A police force that arrests a great rabbi because of his agreement with a book – an arrest that in no way helps the police gain any new knowledge – is a shameful and despicable act that besmirches the police, the prosecution, and all who had the ability to prevent it and did not do so, be they in the Ministry for Public Security or the Ministry of Justice.”
“I have two words for these people: for shame!”
The Federation of Higher Yeshivas said that “a sage and yeshiva head has been publicly shamed.” It decried attempts “to block freedom of opinion and rabbinical halakhic rulings.”
The Hesder Yeshivas Federation expressed shock at the arrest and called it “an offense to the Torah and its students and an attempt to block rabbis’ freedom of expression through severe, unacceptable and anti-democratic means.”
“We call upon the Torah world, in all of its hues and views, to stand firm in the face of the attempt to impugn the dignity of the Torah and of the sages.”
The Hesder Federation called upon the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice to cancel the arrest warrant against Rabbi Lior.

6. IDF’s Cyber-Commander Prepares Internet Assault
by Gil Ronen
"Computers and keyboards are the weapons, Facebook and Twitter are the battlefields. It is there that we fight, each and every day." The fighting words come from First Lieutenant Sasha Dratwa, 25, who heads IDF’s elite “new media” unit. Dratwa, who replaced Lt. Aliza Landes, ws interviewed by Jonatan Urich in the IDF’s website.
Dratwa was born in Belgium and immigrated to Israel at the age of 18 after completing high school. He served in the Nahal Brigade and in a technological unit. After his discharge, Dratwa studied interactive communications at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya. During Operation Cast Lead, Dratwa found himself running the first civilian war room in Israel's history, conducting a real-time public relations campaign to disseminate justifications for the IDF's activities.
Dratwa explained that new media work in the IDF is based on the understanding of tools that bypass the traditional media, with high-quality and available content, and openness to web surfers from around the world, including the existence of a genuine, honest dialogue with them.
"The tools are infinite," Dratwa told the IDF Website. "The question is not whether we should be there but how we should be there. I came to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit mainly to make noise. I want the world to see the reality of the IDF, through channels on which it is not used to getting that. We are going to surprise visitors from around the world who will be able to browse their personal computer and see an IDF that is different from what they view on their television screens in their family room."
Dratwa came in with a long list of precise tasks that he wants to adopt and implement immediately.
"We need to use tablets and smart phones in order to immediately reach the general public," Dratwa said. "We don't have time for a long chain of approvals, we have to strike while the iron is hot - to be determined, fast and focused."
Dratwa said that he intends to show, already in the coming months, the IDF's face "as the world has never seen it before." As part of this, he is already promoting new media work in French and Arabic, along with strengthening and improving work in English. And what next? Twitter in Arabic and the massive entry of the IDF into new media work in fluent Hebrew – because the Israeli population apparently also needs to be strengthened.
Dratwa is not alone and these ideas don't only remain on paper. He heads a group of troops consisting mostly of soldiers doing their regular service, who come from all over the world with a rich professional background in the internet and new media.
"Every one of my soldiers understands the meaning of the work, the range of opportunities facing us and the importance of demonstrating our justness," Dratwa said. "We are fighting in the field of delegitimization, which is no less significant than armored or artillery battles."
"Justifying the IDF's activities and Israel's public relations efforts are significant challenges that are at the top of the IDF's priorities," Dratwa said. "We are receiving a significant investment of means and resources, as well as personnel, but also mainly the determination and dedication of the soldiers.”

7. Knesset Speaker Advises Gush Katif Lobby to Pressure Government
by Aryeh Ben Hayim
It is now a year since the State Investigation Commission dealing with the expulsion of Gaza's Jewish residents and the destruction of their communities completed its work. It is nearly 6 years to the expulsion itself. Despite the aggressive advertising campaign mounted by proponents of the expulsion, beginning with former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, that "there is a solution for every settler", the reality has made a mockery out of the slogan. Most residents are still in temporary housing and many have not been able to resume their former livelihood.
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin addressing the interparty Knesset lobby fighting for the rights of the expellees slammed the government's efforts in solving the problem. "Quite a few bureaucratic obstacles have remained and they haven't been handled, including the acute problem of building permanent houses which has not yet begun."
Speaking to the 15 member lobby, Rivlin disparaged the prospects that a solution will emerge from the government. "To our sorrow it appears that in 2012 as well this is not going to happen if private Knesset Member legislation is not promoted as a supplementary measure to government decisions." The Knesset Speaker's pessimism about government action was rooted in the fact that "government initiative is subject to pressures and changing circumstances, and therefore this [private legislation] is the only way to cause the government to stick to its commitments; this was the case in the past and this is how we must conduct ourselves presently."
Doron Ben Shlomi, the representative of the expelled residents, said that while some progress was discernible it was necessary to wind up all the legislative measures prior to the Knesset going out on its holiday recess. "To our regret, all the important topics for legislation are performed in the last moments of the Knesset annual session, at the very last minute before its conclusion."

by Aryeh Ben Hayim
It is now a year since the State Investigation Commission dealing with the expulsion of Gaza's Jewish residents and the destruction of their communities completed its work. It is nearly 6 years to the expulsion itself. Despite the aggressive advertising campaign mounted by proponents of the expulsion, beginning with former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, that "there is a solution for every settler", the reality has made a mockery out of the slogan. Most residents are still in temporary housing and many have not been able to resume their former livelihood.
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin addressing the interparty Knesset lobby fighting for the rights of the expellees slammed the government's efforts in solving the problem. "Quite a few bureaucratic obstacles have remained and they haven't been handled, including the acute problem of building permanent houses which has not yet begun."
Speaking to the 15 member lobby, Rivlin disparaged the prospects that a solution will emerge from the government. "To our sorrow it appears that in 2012 as well this is not going to happen if private Knesset Member legislation is not promoted as a supplementary measure to government decisions." The Knesset Speaker's pessimism about government action was rooted in the fact that "government initiative is subject to pressures and changing circumstances, and therefore this [private legislation] is the only way to cause the government to stick to its commitments; this was the case in the past and this is how we must conduct ourselves presently."

8. Arab Attacker Injures 2 in Be'er Sheva
by Chana Ya'ar
An Arab assailant beat a 40-year-old man with a hammer and sprayed tear gas at a cab driver Monday at about 5:00 p.m. in Be'er Sheva, in what appears to have been a terror attack.
The two victims were not related, nor were they attacked in the same exact location, although both attacks were carried out near the Be'er Sheva Municipality building.
One of the victims was moderately injured and the other was lightly injured. Both were hospitalized at Soroka Medical Center.
"We believe the attacker was acting on nationalistic motives," said Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. He also told Israel National News that although the perpetrator was of Arab descent, it is not yet clear from which Arab population the perpetrator comes. There are a number of different Arab ethnic populations in Israel, and nearly all of them travel through Be'er Sheva, which serves as a major transporation hub connecting the south with the rest of the country.
Police immediately threw a dragnet around the city, Rosenfeld said, with numerous units combing the area in search of the suspect.
"We are using helicopters, Border Police, undercover personnel, regular police officers... numerous units are out there searching for the attacker. The entire area is covered."
Not the First Terror Attack
There have been a number of terrorist attacks and attempted attacks carried out in Be'er Sheva in the past decade.
A terrorist who attempted a suicide bombing in Be'er Sheva in 2007 never got that far; the attack was foiled by intelligence agents shortly before it was to be carried out.
A suicide bomber who was freed from Israeli prison blew himself up at the city's Central Bus Station on August 28, 2005, seriously wounding two security guards who stopped him from boarding a bus and doing far more damage. More than 50 others were also wounded.
On August 31, 2004, a double suicide bombing on two city buses near the Be'er Sheva Municipality building left 16 dead and more than 100 injured.
In addition, a would-be female terrorist from Gaza was caught in June 2005 at the Erez Crossing with "explosive pants" hoping to blow herself up at Soroka Medical Center, where she had received intensive medical care and was nursed back to health. She told her interrogators she was hoping to kill at least 50 people, including women and children.

Readers' Favorite Strawberry Recipes
The strawberries grown in the Aveyron are special, prompting George Christopher Davies to document them in his book, Our Home in the Aveyron.
"Great quantities of strawberries are grown between the vines. These
are of a small kind somewhat larger than our wild strawberries: they
come in season earlier than our garden strawberries, and are much prized
for their fine flavour." Although you might not be able to buy French
heritage berries at your local market, try these French strawberry
recipes in your own kitchen for some European flair.
