Boycott stickers cropping up on Israeli products in Canada-Anti-Israel activists launch campaign after Vancouver government condemned divestment and sanctions-By JTA March 21, 2016, 12:45 am-the times of israel
TORONTO — More stickers advising consumers not to buy products made in Israel are popping up all over Canada.The stickers in recent weeks were affixed to bottles of Israeli wine in Vancouver, British Columbia and to grocery products in Calgary, Alberta.Both affected corporations removed the labels and vowed increased vigilance.Facebook posts now show the stickers on Sabra Hummus, Keter and Sodastream products, Glutino biscuits, dates and tangerines at grocers and hardware stores in Montreal, Winnipeg, Hamilton and Brampton, Ont., and other towns in British Columbia.“Warning!” the stickers state. “Do not by this product. Made in Israel: A country violating international law, the 4th Geneva Convention, and fundamental human rights…#BDS.”The labels are being distributed free of charge by the Montreal-based Canadians for Justice & Peace in the Middle East, or CJPME, which launched the sticker campaign after Canada’s House of Commons voted last month to condemn the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or BDS, campaign against Israel.“CJPME was specifically cited in the parliamentary motion targeting organizations supporting economic action against Israel, and CJPME has launched its new campaign in response,” the group said on its website.It is urging activists to post Facebook pictures of the labels stuck on products.The Jewish Defense League of Canada, a far-right Jewish group, has written to the federal minister of public safety, Ralph Goodale, that “conspiring with other groups and persons to willfully damage business premises and impeding people from carrying on normal business…must be stopped.”The JDL said it has also brought the matter to the attention of the Canada Revenue Agency.

After attack, Israel tells citizens to ‘avoid visiting Turkey’-Responding to bombing that killed 3 Israelis in Istanbul Saturday, Netanyahu says those who fail to condemn terrorism support it-By Adiv Sterman and Raphael Ahren March 20, 2016, 2:31 pm-the times of israel
The Prime Minister’s Office’s Counter-Terror Bureau raised the alert level on travel to Turkey on Sunday, emphasizing that the country was considered unsafe for Israeli citizens a day after a suicide bombing in Istanbul left 3 Israelis dead and 11 wounded.In a statement, the PMO said that the bureau had decided to “upgrade its existing travel warning and recommends that the public avoid visiting Turkey.”In explaining the decision, the statement said that amid a spate of attacks by the Islamic State groups and Kurdish separatists, and notably the bombing Saturday, “it was decided to update the existing travel warning vis-à-vis Turkey from an ongoing potential threat to a basic concrete threat.”At the same time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was in the front line of a global war on terror, adding that those who failed to condemn terrorist attacks were in effect supporting them. Commenting on Saturday’s suicide bombing, the prime minister said there could be no justification for terrorism.“Israel is at the forefront of the fight against international terrorism. This fight is primarily military, but no less than that, it is moral,” Netanyahu said at the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting in his Jerusalem office. “The key point of the moral struggle against terrorism is clear — terrorism, the murder of innocent people, has no justification anywhere – not in Istanbul, not in the Ivory Coast and not in Jerusalem. Those who do not condemn terrorism support terrorism.”The bodies of the three Israelis killed in Saturday’s suicide bombing in Istanbul were loaded on to an IDF airplane that took off Sunday afternoon for Israel, along with several wounded in the attack.Netanyahu praised Israeli officials who worked to assist in the treatment of the wounded and killed Israeli casualties.“I wish to commend the members of the Foreign Ministry on their dedicated and professional work, both in Istanbul and Jerusalem,” he said.The victims of Saturday’s bombing were identified as Yonathan Suher, 40, Simha Dimri, 60, and Avraham Goldman, 69. Suher and Goldman were also named as United States citizens by the State Department.Eleven Israelis were hurt in the bombing on Istiklal Caddesi, a bustling two-kilometer-long pedestrian street usually thronged with shoppers, tourists and buskers. Turkish medical officials said that among the Israeli wounded, two were in critical condition, two were in moderate condition and six were lightly injured. The condition of one more injured Israeli was not immediately clear.Five were en route to Israel on the IDF plane on Sunday, including one woman who was in critical condition.Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed to track down those responsible for the attack.“We will fight with determination and perseverance until all forms of terrorism are eradicated,” Davutoglu said in a statement Saturday.Davutoglu also offered his condolences to Netanyahu over the death of the three Israelis.“I want to express my condolences to the families of Israeli citizens who lost their lives in the despicable attack and to the people of Israel, and I wish the injured a speedy recovery,” Davutoglu said. “The attack shows us again that the international community must fight aggressively against the lowly goals of terrorist organizations.”In all, at least four people were killed and 36 injured in the attack. A fourth victim killed in the attack was identified by Turkish officials as Iranian national Ali Reza Razmhah.No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but pro-government media blamed it on the Islamic State group, which has been accused of several attacks in Turkey including a deadly suicide bombing near the Blue Mosque in January.The perpetrator of Saturday’s attack was named as Mehmet Öztürk, a suspected Islamic State member.Times of Israel staff and AFP contributed to this report.
Bill to curb political NGO funding passes first hurdle-Justice minister calls proposal an ’embarrassment to democracy’; legislation to be brought to preliminary vote, then revised-By Times of Israel staff March 20, 2016, 10:55 pm
A bill capping foreign funding for NGOs seeking to influence Israeli elections passed its first legal hurdle on Sunday, even as Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked warned the controversial legislation was “embarrassing” to Israel’s democracy.The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved the so-called “V15 law” — named for the foreign-funded group created during the last election to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — for a preliminary reading.The proposed legislation, introduced by Likud MK Yoav Kisch, would ban any group that conducts polls, registers voters or advertises on the Internet or in the media, from accepting more than NIS 20,000 ($5,000) per month in foreign donations during the run-up to elections, Channel 2 reported earlier this month.During the discussion of the bill last Wednesday, Shaked, who abstained from voting, said the “current version of the bill is an embarrassment to democracy,” the Walla news website reported. The bill will be brought to a preliminary vote in the Knesset plenum, but is then expected to undergo considerable revision in committee.The heads of the coalition parties agreed earlier Sunday to support the proposal in the preliminary vote. However, after Shaked’s opposition, the party leaders said that any further advancement of the bill would require additional meetings and a reformulation of the proposal.The bill targets, among others, V15, a grassroots organization which, with foreign funding, unsuccessfully pushed to unseat Netanyahu during last year’s elections. It operated within a loophole in the law by not trying to get voters to vote for a specific party or candidate, but just against Netanyahu.Since the elections, V15 has changed its name to Darkenu (Our Way).Likud charged ahead of the March 2015 elections that the V15 group “operates with aid from radical leftist groups such as OneVoice and Molad, which are supported by millions of dollars flowing in from Europe [and] the United States,” and protested the “intervention by international actors who are interested in deposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”The new law would effectively cripple groups such as V15 — on both sides of the political spectrum — by depriving them of key funding, and the coalition party leaders seek to pass it into law so that it takes effect ahead of the next elections.When Kisch announced the initiative earlier in March, Darkenu said it received hundreds of donations from Israelis in solidarity within hours, and poking fun at his name, sent the lawmaker a quiche marked “Thanks, Yoav.”“This law won’t pass because in its substance it doesn’t pass any democratic standard,” Nimrod Dweck, one of the V15 group’s founders, told Channel 2 earlier in March. “It’s the hysterical response of a prime minister who sees that he’s dropping in the polls and is looking for his new spin, as if there are no tunnels, or intifada, or housing prices that are skyrocketing.”Last year, the Likud party dropped a legal bid to bar the operations of the V15 organization, after party lawmakers admitted that there was insufficient evidence to prove the left-wing group had ties to the Zionist Union and its leader, Isaac Herzog, or to any other political faction.
Sinai mortar attack death toll rises to 15 policemen-Islamic State affiliate in restive peninsula claims Saturday bombing of Egyptian checkpoint near el-Arish-By AP March 21, 2016, 12:53 am-the times of israel
CAIRO — Egypt’s Interior Ministry says the death toll from a mortar attack on a checkpoint near northern Sinai’s provincial capital of el-Arish has risen to 15 policemen killed.The ministry says in a Sunday statement that the dead include three officers.A Sinai-based Islamic State affiliate has claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack, according to a statement circulated on social media. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim.The IS affiliate has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks against Egyptian security forces, which have intensified since the July 2013 military ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.While the attacks have largely taken place in northern Sinai, they have also hit other areas including the capital, Cairo.
Lingering disunion over Iran nuke deal complicates AIPAC activism-As pro-Israel lobbyists head to Capitol Hill, they’ll have an app with talking points on the peace process and defense assistance, but not on thwarting Tehran, where divisions remain deep-By Ron Kampeas March 20, 2016, 10:21 pm-the times of israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) — AIPAC’S smartphone app, downloadable for the expected 18,000 participants at its conference this week, has a nifty little feature for lobbying day, the conference finale on Tuesday when thousands of pro-Israel activists ascend to Capitol Hill.Activists comfortably seated in a Congress member’s office can use the app to call up the broad lobbying agenda for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s three congressional priorities — Iran, Israeli-Palestinian peace and defense assistance for Israel.Once they are done with the talking points, the activists can click through to the specific legislative requests AIPAC has spent months preparing, hand the device over and — voila! — the Congress member (or a staffer) can scribble down the details for further action.For the peace process and defense assistance, AIPAC has specific action it wants Congress to take. But try to find an equivalent under the app’s Iran heading — legislation to cosponsor, a resolution to endorse, a letter to sign — and there’s nothing.That’s because Congress remains profoundly divided on the Iran question, with Republicans saying the nuclear deal needs to be amended, if not scrapped altogether, while Democrats insist the United States must abide by its terms and are calling for oversight to make sure the Iranians do as well.Complicating matters for AIPAC, the organization remains unflinchingly opposed to the deal, making it hard for its usually nimble lobbyists to come up with a formula acceptable to Democrats who want to move on.AIPAC wants to see re-authorization of the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act, due to expire at the end of this year, and penalize Iran for its recent ballistic missile tests. But there’s no bill on the table now that would do both.There have been measures, introduced by lawmakers from both parties, that would sanction Iran for its ballistic missile testing and support for terrorism, but neither has been able to win supporters from the other party. AIPAC isn’t supporting them.Each pair of foreign policy committee leaders, from the Senate and the House of Representatives, released joint statements toward the end of last week suggesting that for now, they are stuck on how to reach agreement on Iran.“We are continuing to work on bipartisan sanctions legislation,” Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday in a joint statement with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the committee chairman. “Iran remains a bipartisan concern and we are committed to taking action to ensure that Iran does not become a threshold nuclear weapons state.”Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-NY, the committee’s top Democrat, likewise said in a statement Saturday that “they continue work to respond to Iranian aggression with new sanctions on its ballistic missiles program and a measure to reauthorize the existing Iran Sanctions Act.”Notably, Cardin and Engel were among the minority of Democrats who opposed the Iran deal. Each has said in recent weeks that it’s time to move on and make sure the deal, which President Barack Obama has said is the best way to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, is executed as written.Cardin, in an addendum to his joint release with Corker, talked up an Iran oversight bill he introduced last year with other Democrats — among them both supporters and opponents of the deal.“The purpose of that legislation was to enhance oversight of Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA, so that Iran never becomes a nuclear weapons state,” Cardin said, referring to the Iran’ deal’s formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. “It also strengthens the United States’ resolve against Iran’s ballistic missile program and other nefarious actions.”The problem with Cardin’s bill, a senior Republican congressional staffer said, was that it deals only with oversight, while Republicans are seeking new means to pressure Iran over what they say are its post-deal violations.“The question we’re asking is, ‘what more can we do?’” said the staffer.The most recent attempt to answer that question came in the form of two bills introduced Thursday. The first, sponsored by 16 Republicans led by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., introduces new sanctions related to Iran’s backing for terrorism. The second, sponsored by 13 Republicans led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, targets its ballistic missile program for sanctions. Both include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as a sponsor — a rare sign of how seriously Republicans want the bills to be taken.Backers of the bills emphasize that the provisions do not target the nuclear deal and should therefore be acceptable to Democrats. However, Democrats say the measures could limit the president’s ability to implement certain parts of the nuclear agreement and therefore amount to a backdoor attempt to scuttle it entirely.AIPAC, whose three-day annual assembly here started Sunday, is not formally backing either bill. Doing so would violate one of its cardinal principles — that it obtain bipartisan backing for any initiative. But the lobby’s Iran talking points suggest that its overall outlook on the issue is closer to the Republican position.“Since the nuclear deal with Iran was announced, Iran has increased its malign activities at home and in the Middle East,” AIPAC says.At the conference this week, activists are likelier than not to encounter criticism of the deal. Only one Democrat among the vast majority in the party who backed the deal is scheduled to speak — the minority whip, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Leading two Iran breakout sessions are officials of pro-Israel groups that have been the most strident critics of the Obama administration’s Iran policy, The Israel Project and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.The other two issues on the smartphone app, the peace process and defense assistance, will offer some solace to those longing for bipartisanship.AIPAC activists will ask House members to sign a letter initiated by the two top lawmakers on the foreign operations subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee — ranking Democrat Rep. Nita Lowey, R-N.Y., and chairwoman Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas — urging Obama to keep the Palestinians from obtaining statehood recognition outside the framework of peace talks.The other asks senators to sign a letter to Obama co-authored by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Chris Coons, D-Del., supporting a substantial increase in security assistance to Israel from the current $3.1 billion annually, noting increased turmoil in the region resulting from insurgencies as well as Iran’s efforts to expand its influence.
Man linked to Likud shot dead in apparent gangland slaying-Businessman with ties to current and former ministers gunned down at entrance to residential building in Rishon Lezion; gunman flees scene on motorcycle-By Times of Israel staff March 20, 2016, 10:53 pm
A man reported to have close ties to senior politicians in the ruling Likud party was shot dead Sunday in the city of Rishon Lezion by a gunman who escaped on a motorcycle.The victim, in his 50s and whose name was not released for publication, was gunned down in the entrance to a building on Hakukiya Street, where his partner lives.Police said the attack was likely non-terror related and may be linked to underworld crime gangs. If so, it would be the third suspected gangland killing in March.The gunman was waiting for the victim outside and opened fire, hitting him in the upper body before riding away, according to initial reports.Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived at the scene tried to resuscitate the man. He was taken to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, where doctors pronounced him dead.Police searched the area for the shooter.Reports said the man was a well-known businessman active in the Likud party, which is led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He was also said to have ties to former and current government ministers.The shooting came a week after a man was blown up in his car in Tel Aviv in a criminal underworld slaying: Avner Mayo was a figure known to police, who had reportedly run afoul of two major organized crime families by turning state witness.Mayo’s car, a white Hummer, went up in flames on the corner of Devora HaNeviah and Moshe Sneh streets in the Ramot Tzahala neighborhood of Tel Aviv last Sunday morning.On March 7 an Israeli woman, 30, was shot dead in front of her three young children on Jerusalem Boulevard in the southern city of Beersheba in a criminal underworld slaying.Police said the victim was the wife of an imprisoned member of a criminal organization who testified against the organization.In October 2015, an indictment was filed against the husband for sending threatening messages to his wife.
Attorney general opposes bill barring non-Orthodox from ritual baths-Avichai Mandelblit says proposal harms Israel’s religious freedoms and is unconstitutional-By Times of Israel staff March 21, 2016, 12:00 am
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on Sunday said a bill that would bar Conservative and Reform conversions from taking place at public ritual baths in Israel was unconstitutional and compromises religious freedoms.In a letter to the government outlining his legal position, Mandelblit ruled the bill, which passed its first Knesset reading Wednesday, runs counter to the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty and said it would not be defensible in the High Court of Justice.According to the legislation proposed by United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni, the country’s ritual baths, or mikvehs, will only be allowed to operate according to the instructions of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate.A statement from the Yerushalmim activist group praised the attorney general’s decision, saying it “strengthens and proves the claim that every woman has the right to autonomy over her body and her submersing [in the bath], in privacy and according to her customs.”The bill, which passed Wednesday with a 42-38 majority, is designed to override a February Supreme Court decision mandating public mikvehs be open to non-Orthodox Jews undergoing conversion.Addressing the plenum after the vote last week, Gafni rebuffed criticism his bill essentially excluded Conservative and Reform Jews from public religious life, saying he was only seeking to “fix what we see as a misguided ruling.”“The issue here is that they want to have conversions in the mikvehs, when that’s not the purpose of a mikveh. Ritual immersions are guided by halacha [Jewish law], they aren’t Turkish baths,” he told lawmakers.“We want to keep situation the way it is, and don’t want to cause any unnecessary tension,” Gafni said, noting that privately-owned baths could be used for non-Orthodox conversion rituals.In Israel, public ritual baths are currently run under the auspices of local municipalities, all of which have religious life committees that in many cases also include women.February’s Supreme Court ruling established that since the baths are publicly funded, there must be an evenhanded approach regarding those who are allowed to use them.For Gafni, moving oversight of the ritual baths to the chief rabbinate is a twofold victory: In making them a religious matter — like marriage or divorce, which are legally unavailable for the Reform and Conservative movements — the chief rabbinate would have the ability to block the use of the baths by more liberal Jewish streams.David Azoulay, Minister for Religious Services and an MK from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, welcomed the Knesset approval last week and vowed to maintain a zero tolerance policy toward “any attempt to interfere or change halachic guidelines.”“These groups that seek to change the Torah and halacha are not Israeli religious movements,” he said before charging that local Reform and Conservative movements often reported “inflated numbers” in order to bolster their influence in Israel.“They can hold as many ceremonies or folklore customs they wish, but Judaism is not like some kind of theater where you just show up to enjoy yourself,” he said. “With all due respect to their Zionism and support for the state of Israel, we won’t allow them control us remotely or damage the country’s Jewish character.”Opposition MK Zehava Galon (Meretz) shot back at Gafni and Azoulay, saying the two MKs were “driving us all crazy.“You introduced a law in order to circumvent the Supreme Court, you don’t care about mikvehs, what interests you is gaining a foothold. You’re waging a thug-like, extortionate fight against ‘those people,’ who, have a name — Reform and Conservative. Who gave you the right to monopolize Judaism?”Amanda Borschel-Dan and Tamar Pillegi contributed to this report.

A fourth victim killed in the attack was identified by Turkish officials as Iranian national Ali Reza Razmhah.No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but pro-government media blamed it on the Islamic State group, which has been accused of several attacks in Turkey including a deadly suicide bombing near the Blue Mosque in January.The perpetrator of Saturday’s attack was named as Mehmet Öztürk, a suspected Islamic State member.Times of Israel staff and AFP contributed to this report.
Bill to curb political NGO funding passes first hurdle-Justice minister calls proposal an ’embarrassment to democracy’; legislation to be brought to preliminary vote, then revised-By Times of Israel staff March 20, 2016, 10:55 pm
A bill capping foreign funding for NGOs seeking to influence Israeli elections passed its first legal hurdle on Sunday, even as Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked warned the controversial legislation was “embarrassing” to Israel’s democracy.The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved the so-called “V15 law” — named for the foreign-funded group created during the last election to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — for a preliminary reading.The proposed legislation, introduced by Likud MK Yoav Kisch, would ban any group that conducts polls, registers voters or advertises on the Internet or in the media, from accepting more than NIS 20,000 ($5,000) per month in foreign donations during the run-up to elections, Channel 2 reported earlier this month.During the discussion of the bill last Wednesday, Shaked, who abstained from voting, said the “current version of the bill is an embarrassment to democracy,” the Walla news website reported. The bill will be brought to a preliminary vote in the Knesset plenum, but is then expected to undergo considerable revision in committee.The heads of the coalition parties agreed earlier Sunday to support the proposal in the preliminary vote. However, after Shaked’s opposition, the party leaders said that any further advancement of the bill would require additional meetings and a reformulation of the proposal.The bill targets, among others, V15, a grassroots organization which, with foreign funding, unsuccessfully pushed to unseat Netanyahu during last year’s elections. It operated within a loophole in the law by not trying to get voters to vote for a specific party or candidate, but just against Netanyahu.Since the elections, V15 has changed its name to Darkenu (Our Way).Likud charged ahead of the March 2015 elections that the V15 group “operates with aid from radical leftist groups such as OneVoice and Molad, which are supported by millions of dollars flowing in from Europe [and] the United States,” and protested the “intervention by international actors who are interested in deposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”The new law would effectively cripple groups such as V15 — on both sides of the political spectrum — by depriving them of key funding, and the coalition party leaders seek to pass it into law so that it takes effect ahead of the next elections.When Kisch announced the initiative earlier in March, Darkenu said it received hundreds of donations from Israelis in solidarity within hours, and poking fun at his name, sent the lawmaker a quiche marked “Thanks, Yoav.”“This law won’t pass because in its substance it doesn’t pass any democratic standard,” Nimrod Dweck, one of the V15 group’s founders, told Channel 2 earlier in March. “It’s the hysterical response of a prime minister who sees that he’s dropping in the polls and is looking for his new spin, as if there are no tunnels, or intifada, or housing prices that are skyrocketing.”Last year, the Likud party dropped a legal bid to bar the operations of the V15 organization, after party lawmakers admitted that there was insufficient evidence to prove the left-wing group had ties to the Zionist Union and its leader, Isaac Herzog, or to any other political faction.
Sinai mortar attack death toll rises to 15 policemen-Islamic State affiliate in restive peninsula claims Saturday bombing of Egyptian checkpoint near el-Arish-By AP March 21, 2016, 12:53 am-the times of israel
CAIRO — Egypt’s Interior Ministry says the death toll from a mortar attack on a checkpoint near northern Sinai’s provincial capital of el-Arish has risen to 15 policemen killed.The ministry says in a Sunday statement that the dead include three officers.A Sinai-based Islamic State affiliate has claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack, according to a statement circulated on social media. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim.The IS affiliate has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks against Egyptian security forces, which have intensified since the July 2013 military ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.While the attacks have largely taken place in northern Sinai, they have also hit other areas including the capital, Cairo.
Lingering disunion over Iran nuke deal complicates AIPAC activism-As pro-Israel lobbyists head to Capitol Hill, they’ll have an app with talking points on the peace process and defense assistance, but not on thwarting Tehran, where divisions remain deep-By Ron Kampeas March 20, 2016, 10:21 pm-the times of israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) — AIPAC’S smartphone app, downloadable for the expected 18,000 participants at its conference this week, has a nifty little feature for lobbying day, the conference finale on Tuesday when thousands of pro-Israel activists ascend to Capitol Hill.Activists comfortably seated in a Congress member’s office can use the app to call up the broad lobbying agenda for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s three congressional priorities — Iran, Israeli-Palestinian peace and defense assistance for Israel.Once they are done with the talking points, the activists can click through to the specific legislative requests AIPAC has spent months preparing, hand the device over and — voila! — the Congress member (or a staffer) can scribble down the details for further action.For the peace process and defense assistance, AIPAC has specific action it wants Congress to take. But try to find an equivalent under the app’s Iran heading — legislation to cosponsor, a resolution to endorse, a letter to sign — and there’s nothing.That’s because Congress remains profoundly divided on the Iran question, with Republicans saying the nuclear deal needs to be amended, if not scrapped altogether, while Democrats insist the United States must abide by its terms and are calling for oversight to make sure the Iranians do as well.Complicating matters for AIPAC, the organization remains unflinchingly opposed to the deal, making it hard for its usually nimble lobbyists to come up with a formula acceptable to Democrats who want to move on.AIPAC wants to see re-authorization of the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act, due to expire at the end of this year, and penalize Iran for its recent ballistic missile tests. But there’s no bill on the table now that would do both.There have been measures, introduced by lawmakers from both parties, that would sanction Iran for its ballistic missile testing and support for terrorism, but neither has been able to win supporters from the other party. AIPAC isn’t supporting them.Each pair of foreign policy committee leaders, from the Senate and the House of Representatives, released joint statements toward the end of last week suggesting that for now, they are stuck on how to reach agreement on Iran.“We are continuing to work on bipartisan sanctions legislation,” Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday in a joint statement with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the committee chairman. “Iran remains a bipartisan concern and we are committed to taking action to ensure that Iran does not become a threshold nuclear weapons state.”Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-NY, the committee’s top Democrat, likewise said in a statement Saturday that “they continue work to respond to Iranian aggression with new sanctions on its ballistic missiles program and a measure to reauthorize the existing Iran Sanctions Act.”Notably, Cardin and Engel were among the minority of Democrats who opposed the Iran deal. Each has said in recent weeks that it’s time to move on and make sure the deal, which President Barack Obama has said is the best way to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, is executed as written.Cardin, in an addendum to his joint release with Corker, talked up an Iran oversight bill he introduced last year with other Democrats — among them both supporters and opponents of the deal.“The purpose of that legislation was to enhance oversight of Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA, so that Iran never becomes a nuclear weapons state,” Cardin said, referring to the Iran’ deal’s formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. “It also strengthens the United States’ resolve against Iran’s ballistic missile program and other nefarious actions.”The problem with Cardin’s bill, a senior Republican congressional staffer said, was that it deals only with oversight, while Republicans are seeking new means to pressure Iran over what they say are its post-deal violations.“The question we’re asking is, ‘what more can we do?’” said the staffer.The most recent attempt to answer that question came in the form of two bills introduced Thursday. The first, sponsored by 16 Republicans led by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., introduces new sanctions related to Iran’s backing for terrorism. The second, sponsored by 13 Republicans led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, targets its ballistic missile program for sanctions. Both include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as a sponsor — a rare sign of how seriously Republicans want the bills to be taken.Backers of the bills emphasize that the provisions do not target the nuclear deal and should therefore be acceptable to Democrats. However, Democrats say the measures could limit the president’s ability to implement certain parts of the nuclear agreement and therefore amount to a backdoor attempt to scuttle it entirely.AIPAC, whose three-day annual assembly here started Sunday, is not formally backing either bill. Doing so would violate one of its cardinal principles — that it obtain bipartisan backing for any initiative. But the lobby’s Iran talking points suggest that its overall outlook on the issue is closer to the Republican position.“Since the nuclear deal with Iran was announced, Iran has increased its malign activities at home and in the Middle East,” AIPAC says.At the conference this week, activists are likelier than not to encounter criticism of the deal. Only one Democrat among the vast majority in the party who backed the deal is scheduled to speak — the minority whip, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Leading two Iran breakout sessions are officials of pro-Israel groups that have been the most strident critics of the Obama administration’s Iran policy, The Israel Project and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.The other two issues on the smartphone app, the peace process and defense assistance, will offer some solace to those longing for bipartisanship.AIPAC activists will ask House members to sign a letter initiated by the two top lawmakers on the foreign operations subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee — ranking Democrat Rep. Nita Lowey, R-N.Y., and chairwoman Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas — urging Obama to keep the Palestinians from obtaining statehood recognition outside the framework of peace talks.The other asks senators to sign a letter to Obama co-authored by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Chris Coons, D-Del., supporting a substantial increase in security assistance to Israel from the current $3.1 billion annually, noting increased turmoil in the region resulting from insurgencies as well as Iran’s efforts to expand its influence.
Man linked to Likud shot dead in apparent gangland slaying-Businessman with ties to current and former ministers gunned down at entrance to residential building in Rishon Lezion; gunman flees scene on motorcycle-By Times of Israel staff March 20, 2016, 10:53 pm
A man reported to have close ties to senior politicians in the ruling Likud party was shot dead Sunday in the city of Rishon Lezion by a gunman who escaped on a motorcycle.The victim, in his 50s and whose name was not released for publication, was gunned down in the entrance to a building on Hakukiya Street, where his partner lives.Police said the attack was likely non-terror related and may be linked to underworld crime gangs. If so, it would be the third suspected gangland killing in March.The gunman was waiting for the victim outside and opened fire, hitting him in the upper body before riding away, according to initial reports.Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived at the scene tried to resuscitate the man. He was taken to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, where doctors pronounced him dead.Police searched the area for the shooter.Reports said the man was a well-known businessman active in the Likud party, which is led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He was also said to have ties to former and current government ministers.The shooting came a week after a man was blown up in his car in Tel Aviv in a criminal underworld slaying: Avner Mayo was a figure known to police, who had reportedly run afoul of two major organized crime families by turning state witness.Mayo’s car, a white Hummer, went up in flames on the corner of Devora HaNeviah and Moshe Sneh streets in the Ramot Tzahala neighborhood of Tel Aviv last Sunday morning.On March 7 an Israeli woman, 30, was shot dead in front of her three young children on Jerusalem Boulevard in the southern city of Beersheba in a criminal underworld slaying.Police said the victim was the wife of an imprisoned member of a criminal organization who testified against the organization.In October 2015, an indictment was filed against the husband for sending threatening messages to his wife.
Attorney general opposes bill barring non-Orthodox from ritual baths-Avichai Mandelblit says proposal harms Israel’s religious freedoms and is unconstitutional-By Times of Israel staff March 21, 2016, 12:00 am
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on Sunday said a bill that would bar Conservative and Reform conversions from taking place at public ritual baths in Israel was unconstitutional and compromises religious freedoms.In a letter to the government outlining his legal position, Mandelblit ruled the bill, which passed its first Knesset reading Wednesday, runs counter to the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty and said it would not be defensible in the High Court of Justice.According to the legislation proposed by United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni, the country’s ritual baths, or mikvehs, will only be allowed to operate according to the instructions of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate.A statement from the Yerushalmim activist group praised the attorney general’s decision, saying it “strengthens and proves the claim that every woman has the right to autonomy over her body and her submersing [in the bath], in privacy and according to her customs.”The bill, which passed Wednesday with a 42-38 majority, is designed to override a February Supreme Court decision mandating public mikvehs be open to non-Orthodox Jews undergoing conversion.Addressing the plenum after the vote last week, Gafni rebuffed criticism his bill essentially excluded Conservative and Reform Jews from public religious life, saying he was only seeking to “fix what we see as a misguided ruling.”“The issue here is that they want to have conversions in the mikvehs, when that’s not the purpose of a mikveh. Ritual immersions are guided by halacha [Jewish law], they aren’t Turkish baths,” he told lawmakers.“We want to keep situation the way it is, and don’t want to cause any unnecessary tension,” Gafni said, noting that privately-owned baths could be used for non-Orthodox conversion rituals.In Israel, public ritual baths are currently run under the auspices of local municipalities, all of which have religious life committees that in many cases also include women.February’s Supreme Court ruling established that since the baths are publicly funded, there must be an evenhanded approach regarding those who are allowed to use them.For Gafni, moving oversight of the ritual baths to the chief rabbinate is a twofold victory: In making them a religious matter — like marriage or divorce, which are legally unavailable for the Reform and Conservative movements — the chief rabbinate would have the ability to block the use of the baths by more liberal Jewish streams.David Azoulay, Minister for Religious Services and an MK from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, welcomed the Knesset approval last week and vowed to maintain a zero tolerance policy toward “any attempt to interfere or change halachic guidelines.”“These groups that seek to change the Torah and halacha are not Israeli religious movements,” he said before charging that local Reform and Conservative movements often reported “inflated numbers” in order to bolster their influence in Israel.“They can hold as many ceremonies or folklore customs they wish, but Judaism is not like some kind of theater where you just show up to enjoy yourself,” he said. “With all due respect to their Zionism and support for the state of Israel, we won’t allow them control us remotely or damage the country’s Jewish character.”Opposition MK Zehava Galon (Meretz) shot back at Gafni and Azoulay, saying the two MKs were “driving us all crazy.“You introduced a law in order to circumvent the Supreme Court, you don’t care about mikvehs, what interests you is gaining a foothold. You’re waging a thug-like, extortionate fight against ‘those people,’ who, have a name — Reform and Conservative. Who gave you the right to monopolize Judaism?”Amanda Borschel-Dan and Tamar Pillegi contributed to this report.
