Responding to recent attacks in Europe on ritual circumcision, Jewish groups convened a special task force in Brussels to mount a “proactive defense” of the practice.“The days of waiting around to firefight individual attacks on brit milah are over,” said Philip Carmel, European policy adviser for the European Jewish Congress, in reference to the non-medical circumcision of 8-day-old Jewish males for religious reasons.

Carmel was speaking at a gathering of 12 members of the special task force that convened for the first time in the Belgian capital on Wednesday in response to the Oct. 2 passage of a resolution at the Council of Europe calling male ritual circumcision a “violation of the physical integrity of children.”The resolution followed a slew of motions and statements against circumcision in Scandinavia by some prominent parties from across the political spectrum, as well as health and child welfare officials.Carmel said the meeting was the first gathering of its caliber in defense of brit milah in Europe and included representatives from the European Jewish Congress, the Conference of European Rabbis, Milah UK and The Union Of Mohalim in Europe. Also attending he said were representatives of the French, Dutch and Austrian Jewish communities, as well as legal and medical experts.“The next step is to go out with a message in defense of freedom of religion in media, EU member states and pan-European organizations,” Carmel said, adding that the advocacy campaign will continue in parallel with efforts to “standardize the practice of brit milah in Europe.”

“For too long, European Jewry has been reactive to sporadic attacks on religious practices,” said Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress. “However, the enemies of Jewish tradition are becoming more united and coordinated, and so we must create a unified, coordinated and long-term strategic response to these attacks.”

The curious Israeli half-battle against ‘Palestinian incitement’

Netanyahu warns repeatedly that Palestinian children being taught to hate Israel ‘lays the groundwork’ for continued terrorism. So why isn’t he reviving the joint panel designed to counter the malaise?

By Elhanan Miller October 30, 2013, 10:58 pm 2-The Times of Israel

On October 28, 1998, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down at the White House next to his greatest foe, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat. Under the tutelage of US President Bill Clinton, the two leaders grudgingly signed the Wye River Memorandum, paving the way for the implementation of the Interim Agreement, the second phase of the Oslo Accords.Netanyahu was hardly eager to follow through with the despised territorial withdrawals and prisoner releases prescribed by the Oslo Accords, which were inherited from the Rabin government. But at least, in return for his compliance, the Palestinians were to issue a decree “prohibiting all forms of incitement to violence or terror” and a trilateral committee would be formed, tasked with monitoring and combating Palestinian hate speech.Fifteen years later, now in his third term as prime minister, Netanyahu still invokes Palestinian incitement as a key stumbling block to peace, scarcely missing an opportunity to publicly lambaste the PA for inciting to violence against Israelis.

Earlier this month, Netanyahu told his cabinet that “ongoing incitement” in “official Palestinian media” was behind an attack against a 9-year-old girl in Psagot (the perpetrator of which has not yet been caught). In a letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry in August, Netanyahu claimed that Palestinian children were taught to hate Israel, “laying the groundwork for continued violence and terror.”Judging by some of the material emerging from Palestinian media, Netanyahu may have a good point. On September 13, for instance, PA Religious Endowments Minister Mahmoud Al-Habash glorified the deceased Hamas spiritual leader Ahmad Yassin on Palestinian public television, calling him “a figurehead of Palestinian patriotism,” Palestinian Media Watch found. Israel considers Yassin to be responsible for dozens of Hamas terror attacks costing the lives of hundreds.

In a second recent report, PMW found that a children’s magazine associated with the PA saw fit to cite well-known sayings attributed to Adolf Hitler. Anti-Israel and anti-semitic entries abound on websites and Facebook pages associated with Fatah, Mahmoud Abbas’s political movement.But what exactly constitutes Palestinian incitement? Calls for violence, or — more broadly — any negative characterization of Jews or Israelis by Palestinians? Does the incitement have to appear in “official” media (an elusive term in itself) to merit official Israeli concern and protest, or can it appear anywhere? These are some of the questions which the trilateral committee created at Wye — comprising a media specialist, a law enforcement representative, an educational specialist and an elected official from each side — was meant to grapple with.But in its roughly two years of activity, the committee never reached agreement on these questions. Boaz Ganor, a counter-terrorism expert at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliyah (IDC), who was appointed by then foreign minister Ariel Sharon to head the subcommittee on incitement in textbooks, said that the committee was doomed from the start due to the “extremist” personalities of Israeli team head Uri Dan and Palestinian team head Marwan Kanafani.“Under Uri Dan, the committee didn’t really function. In diplomatic language we say ‘the importance of the meeting was in its very existence,” Ganor told The Times of Israel. “We didn’t even agree on the basic question of what constitutes incitement. For weeks we tried to define what it even is.

“Very quickly the entire process became a boxing match in a bid to win points with the Americans,” Ganor said, recalling an event where the Palestinian delegation chief revealed his tactic of stymieing the talks.

“As he was enjoying a meal during one of the meetings, Marwan Kanafani exposed the secret of how he explodes the meetings, saying that when he doesn’t want any progress to be made, he changes the subject to Ariel Sharon,” Ganor said. “Something along the lines of ‘that’s incitement? What Arik Sharon says is incitement!’ Immediately Uri Dan would lose his temper and start shouting and blaming, and the whole thing would collapse.”While deeply skeptical of the Oslo process, Ganor, for his part, said he told his American counterpart that if the only outcome of Oslo would be the removal of incitement from school textbooks, “the entire process — even if it does not produce peace right now — would be worthwhile.”“The problem was one of good faith; there was nothing wrong with the mechanism. The main blame lies undoubtedly with the Palestinians, but the [Israeli] committee heads didn’t regard this as something which was meant to examine us [as well]. Arafat’s decision to appoint Marwan Kanafani was effectively a decision to bury the committee, but the fact that Uri Dan was put on the other side didn’t add to its success.”Good faith is essential if incitement is to be curbed, agreed Tel Aviv University political psychology professor Daniel Bar-Tal, who recently led a study which found that blatant dehumanization and delegitimization are all but absent from Palestinian and Israeli textbooks. Netanyahu’s government, he said, uses the “incitement card” as a public relations tool rather than viewing it as a genuine stumbling block which must be addressed in the service of peace-building.“In Israel we encounter this repetitive claim of [Palestinian] incitement in order to delegitimize the Palestinian side and mobilize the Israeli public and international community,” Bar-Tal told The Times of Israel. “This doesn’t mean that so-called incitement doesn’t exist on both sides.”In the absence of a bilateral mechanism to define and tackle incitement, nongovernmental organizations such as Palestinian Media Watch and MEMRI have blossomed, directly conveying their (sometimes controversial) findings to Israeli decision-makers. In Netanyahu’s last government, the resources of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs were also utilized to document and present evidence of official and non-official Palestinian incitement. According to Palestinian Media Watch, Israeli negotiator and Netanyahu associate Yitzhak Molcho brought with him a book penned by the organization to a meeting with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat in Jordan in January 2012.At a meeting with Israeli parliamentarians earlier this month, PA President Mahmoud Abbas acknowledged that incitement still permeates Palestinian media and called on Netanyahu to reactivate the defunct trilateral incitement committee.It is Netanyahu, Bar-Tal insisted, who consistently refuses to reconvene the trilateral committee. A second source, an insider who has discussed the issue with the prime minister, confirmed that Netanyahu has shown no enthusiasm for reactivating the committee.‘Very quickly the entire process became a boxing match in a bid to win points with the Americans,’ Ganor said.“This indicates that his intentions are not so pure,” Bar-Tal said. “There are hundreds of experts in Israel on this subject, but neither Netanyahu nor Sharon would appoint any of them [to the committee].”A spokesman at the Prime Minister’s Office refused to address the reasons for the committee’s inactivity.Some Israelis involved in past negotiations are adamant that incitement is still being used by the Palestinians to fuel a possible future confrontation with Israel.“The story of PA incitement should be understood as a way of guarding the flame of possible armed resistance if Israel doesn’t follow through with its part in the political process,” said Colonel (res.) Shaul Arieli, who headed the Interim Agreement Administration under prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and later became a driving force in the Geneva Peace Initiative.“You can’t reach reconciliation early without trusting that the other side will deliver. [Palestinians] need to maintain a mobilized society at a certain level, and they do so in this way,” Arieli told The Times of Israel.He added, however, that Palestinian incitement — troubling as it may be — should not stunt Israel’s bid to reach an agreement with the Palestinians.“At the end of the day, when an agreement is signed, [incitement] will become marginal. With an agreement we can move to the second stage of the process, namely reconciliation. That’s when the national narratives of both sides should be dealt with, no earlier.”Ganor of the IDC disagreed.“It’s much easier to deal with tangible issues like borders, lines, and colors on a map than with nebulous issues like the definition of incitement,” he said. “However, I think we cannot advance to true peace — even if we agree on this border or that — without uprooting incitement. The two elements must go hand in hand.”

New settlement plans panned by US, Palestinians

UN secretary general also denounces announcement of major construction projects in East Jerusalem as ‘obstacle to peace’

By Times of Israel staff October 30, 2013, 9:01 pm Updated: October 30, 2013, 10:02 pm 13-The Times of Israel

The US State Department and the Palestinian Authority on Wednesday denounced Israel’s announcement that it would expedite several settlement expansion plans, with Ramallah saying the move “destroys the peace process.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Wednesday agreed to expedite four East Jerusalem construction plans, including one which would significantly expand the size of Ramat Shlomo, with the addition of 1,500 homes. The move was seen as a response to the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisonPalestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, was quoted by AFP saying the move “destroys the peace process and is a message to the international community that Israel is a country that does not respect international law”.Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri railed against both Israel and the Palestinian Authority on Wednesday, saying the ongoing peace negotiations are responsible for “now providing [Israel] with a cover for these crimes.”In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, “We do not consider continued settlement activity or East Jerusalem construction to be steps that create a positive environment for the negotiations.”UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was also critical, saying in a statement issued Wednesday that he “deplores” Israel’s announcement of settlement construction plans.He said the move was “contrary to international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace.”“Any measures that prejudge final status issues will not be recognized by the international community,” Ban said. While he noted his appreciation that Israel “took a difficult step in continuing to release Palestinian pre-Oslo prisoners in the face of deep domestic opposition,” the secretary general said he “expects the parties to take every possible step to promote conditions conducive to the success of the negotiating process and to refrain from actions that undermine trust.”Ofir Akunis, a lawmaker from Netanyahu’s Likud Party, said construction also had been approved for several West Bank settlements.

“The building in Judea and Samaria will continue and be intensified,” said Akunis, using the biblical term for the West Bank.In addition, he told parliament that Netanyahu had given orders to “advance plans” for more than 2,000 homes in a longer list of settlements across the West Bank.Philip Gordon, Washington’s National Security Council coordinator for Middle East policy, told the audience at the American Task Force on Palestine’s annual gala that “The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement expansion,” in an apparent reference to Israel’s new housing starts.Among the projects set to be pushed through, according to Tuesday night’s decision, is a plan to approve 1,500 new apartment units in Ramat Shlomo, and a measure to allow construction of additional rooms in existing apartments in the neighborhood.

Announcement of construction in Ramat Shlomo, a northern Jerusalem neighborhood situated over the Green Line, precipitated diplomatic tension between the US and Israel during Vice President Joe Biden’s visit in March 2010.Netanyahu and Sa’ar also gave the green light for advancing a tourism and archaeology center adjacent to the City of David — the site of an ongoing archaeological dig and a political flashpoint on the slopes below the Temple Mount — and a national park on Mount Scopus’s eastern slopes.It remains to be seen whether Netanyahu’s efforts to offset right-wing criticism of the prisoner release through settlement construction will prove successful. Last week the pro-settlement Jewish Home party said in a statement that “the attempt to link the release of the murderers to construction tenders is manipulative and morally wrong. It will be better if the prime minister does not release murderers and does not build. This looks like a despicable attempt to free murderers and tarnish the settlement enterprise.”An Israeli official last week said the Americans and Palestinians were aware of the Israeli building plans, which were made clear before peace talks resumed in the summer.The Palestinians consider settlements a major obstacle to establishing a state that includes the West Bank and East Jerusalem, territories Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War. Israel has since built widely over the Green Line inside Jerusalem, and at dozens of settlements in the West Bank, constructing homes for some 550,000 Israelis.Just after midnight on Tuesday, thousands of Palestinians gathered in Ramallah to greet 21 prisoners released from Israeli custody to the West Bank as part of arrangements for the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Five other Palestinian prisoners were released earlier in Gaza.All 26 were convicted murderers, most of them jailed for crimes committed before the 1993 Oslo Accords.The Associated Press and JTA contributed to this report. 

Huge explosion reported at Syrian air defense base

A Syrian air defense base near the coastal city of Latakia was reportedly destroyed Wednesday night, with multiple Syrian and Lebanese sources speculating that an Israeli strike from the Mediterranean was to blame.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a loud explosion in a Syrian army base, and Twitter users quoted eyewitnesses who said the blast occurred near Snobar Jableh, just south of the city.Unconfirmed reports suggested the explosion was the result of a missile strike from the sea. And social media exploded with posts alleging that Israel was responsible.The coastal strip of Syria, encompassing the cities of Tartous, Latakia and Baniyas, is part of a predominantly Alawite portion of the country which remains loyal to the Assad regime.Earlier on Wednesday the Lebanese government news agency reported six Israeli aircraft flying through Lebanese airspace along the coast north of Beirut.

Ban: Releasing Murderers is Good, Building is Bad

UN chief condemns Israel for building, but welcomes its "gesture" of releasing murderers.

Releasing terrorists is good, but approving new Jewish construction in Jerusalem is wrong, according to the head of the United Nations.Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in a statement he released on Wednesday, condemned Israel’s announcement that it will build 1,500 new housing units in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo.“Settlement activity is contrary to international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace. Any measures that prejudge final status issues will not be recognized by the international community,” said the statement.Ban then expressed “appreciation” for Israel’s decision to release terrorists who murdered Israelis as a “gesture” to the Palestinian Authority.According to the statement, Ban “understands that Israel took a difficult step in continuing to release Palestinian pre-Oslo prisoners in the face of deep domestic opposition, and appreciates this gesture.”However, he added, “In keeping with the statement by the Quartet on September 27, the Secretary General expects the parties to take every possible step to promote conditions conducive to the success of the negotiating process and to refrain from actions that undermine trust.”

Israel’s announcement that it will promote new construction in Ramat Shlomo came on Tuesday night, as 26 terrorists were being released, the second in a series of four releases.Ramat Shlomo is often erroneously described by anti-Israeli media as an "illegal settlement in east Jerusalem". Israel has been slammed in the past for promoting construction in the neighborhood.The plan to build 1,500 homes has been shelved and then revived several times over the past few years, largely because of criticism over it by the United States.

PA: Israel is Destroying the Peace Process

As expected, Israel has been widely condemned for approving new construction in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo.The Palestinian Authority accused Israel on Wednesday of “trying to wreck peace talks” with plans to build 1,500 new homes in the neighborhood, often erroneously described by anti-Israeli media as an "illegal settlement in east Jerusalem".A spokesman for PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Nabil Abu Rudeina, was quoted by AFP as having said Israel’s move "destroys the peace process and is a message to the international community that Israel is a country that does not respect international law."Plans to build the homes in Ramat Shlomo were made public almost immediately after Israel freed 26 terrorist murderers as a “gesture” to Abbas in order to continue the renewed peace talks.Later a senior Israeli official confirmed to AFP that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Interior Minister Gideon Saar had "agreed on four building plans in Jerusalem."The PA was not the only one to condemn the building. The Hamas terror group, which rules Gaza, called on Abbas's western-backed PA to break off the talks, saying they encouraged “Israeli settlement.”"It is ... the PA's negotiations with the occupation that are now providing (Israel) with a cover for these crimes," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said, according to AFP.

Washington also condemned the construction, with State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki telling reporters, “We do not consider continued settlement activity or east Jerusalem construction to be steps that create a positive environment for the negotiations.”Israel’s neighbor, Jordan, with whom Israel has a peace treaty, also condemned Israel’s construction.Jordanian government spokesman Mohammed Momeni was quoted by AFP as having said the plans were "a direct threat to the peace process."United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in a statement he released on Wednesday, condemned Israel’s building announcement but expressed “appreciation” for Israel’s decision to release terrorists who murdered Israelis as a “gesture” to the PA.The plan to build 1,500 homes in Ramat Shlomo has been shelved and then revived several times over the past few years, largely because of criticism over it by the United States.

Ex-MK: Don’t Free Terrorists – Kill Them

Former MK Michael Ben-Ari suggests an alternative to terrorist release, and explains why he’s wearing a keffiyeh.-By Maayana Miskin-First Publish: 10/30/2013, 4:46 AM-Israelnationalnews

Michael Ben-Ari-Flash 90

A group of protesters made a last-ditch effort to stop the government from freeing convicted terrorist murderers on Tuesday night by blocking the road out of Ofer Prison with their bodies.Activists previously attempted to prevent the release by appealing to the Supreme Court, but the court rejected their petition.
Among those who took part in Tuesday night’s protest was former Member of Knesset Michael Ben-Ari. In a post to Facebook, Ben-Ari explained the protest, “We’re against freeing terrorists, and in favor of killing them.”Ben-Ari wore a keffiyeh – a traditional Arab headscarf – to the protest. A journalist asked him why he was wearing it, he reported.“I answered, ‘So that I can get rights, too,’” he said.“The state of Israel is engaged in affirmative action for Arabs only,” he accused. “It releases murderers only if they are Arab.”
“Maybe we should buy keffiyehs for all of the men, and hijabs for all of the women, and go wild,” he suggested.Ben-Ari led the Otzma Leyisrael party in the last elections. The party fell 9,000 votes short of entering Knesset.The outspoken former MK has remained in the public eye with controversial protests and high-profile activism, including a protest against “Sudan city” in Tel Aviv and a confrontation with anti-Israel protesters in Tel Aviv.
