In bombshell interview, Meghan says royal life almost drove her to suicide-Members of royal family allegedly fretted over color of her unborn baby’s skin; Harry reveals Prince Charles has stopped taking his calls-By Agencies-MAR 8,21-Today, 5:57 am

LOS ANGELES — In a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday, Harry and Meghan described painful discussions about the color of their son’s skin, losing royal protection and the intense pressures that led the Duchess of Sussex to contemplate suicide.The interview with Oprah Winfrey was the couple’s first since they stepped down from royal duties and the two-hour special included numerous revelations.Harry told Winfrey that he felt trapped by royal life and was surprised that he was cut off financially and lost his security last year. He also said he felt his family did not support Meghan, who acknowledged her naivete about royal life before marrying Harry, as she endured media attacks and false stories.Meghan, who is biracial, described that when she was first pregnant with son Archie, some members of the royal family expressed concerns to Harry over the color of the child’s skin. She refused to say who had made the comments.“In those months when I was pregnant… we have in tandem the conversation of ‘he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” Meghan told Winfrey.The statement led Winfrey to ask “What,” incredulously and sit in silence for a moment.Oprah reacts to Meghan Markle revealing somebody in the Royal Family was concerned about how dark Archie's skin color might be. pic.twitter.com/RIc15Adr7F — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) March 8, 2021In a rare positive moment in the interview, Harry and Meghan revealed their second would be a girl. The interview opened with Winfrey gushing over Meghan’s pregnancy and lamenting that COVID-19 protocols kept them from hugging.The interview aired Sunday night in the United States, a full day before it will air in Britain. The revelations aren’t over: Winfrey teased additional bits of the interview would be shown Monday morning on CBS.In response to a question from Winfrey, Harry said he wouldn’t have left royal life if he hadn’t married Meghan, but that it was their relationship that revealed the strictures of royal life.“I wouldn’t have been able to, because I myself was trapped,” Harry said. “I didn’t see a way out.“I was trapped, but I didn’t know I was trapped,” Harry said, before adding, “My father and my brother, they are trapped.”Harry acknowledged that he does not have a close relationship presently with his brother William, who is heir to the throne after their father, Prince Charles.He also said his father had stopped taking his calls.“There is a lot to work through there,” Harry said about his relationship with his father. “I feel really let down. He’s been through something similar. He knows what pain feels like. And Archie is his grandson. I will always love him, but there is a lot of hurt that has happened.”Harry shares his current relationship with his brother William.#HarryandMeghanonOprah Megan Markle #OprahMeghanHarry Oprah | The Crown pic.twitter.com/CRl1BRwt4O — Maiestas ?? (@Ebenezer_Peegah) March 8, 2021Harry said the royal family cut him off financially at the start of 2020 after announcing plans to step back from his roles. But he was able to afford security for his family because of the money his mother, Princess Diana, left behind.The prince disputed rumors that he intentionally blindsided his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, with his decision to split. He suspects the rumors came from the institution.“I’ve never blindsided my grandmother,” he said. “I have too much respect for her.”Meghan, too, was complimentary toward the queen, despite saying at one point she realized some in the palace were willing to lie to “protect other members of the family.”“The queen has always been wonderful to me,” Meghan said.Winfrey at various points in the interview ran through headlines about Meghan and at one point asked about the mental health impact. Meghan responded that she experienced suicidal thoughts and had sought help through the palace’s human resources department, but was told there was nothing they could do.“I… just didn’t want to be alive anymore. And that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought,” she told Winfrey.Asked if she was having suicidal thoughts, Meghan replied “Yes. This was very, very clear.”Meghan is a survivor from suicidal thoughts! She’s Speaking her truth never let your voice be silenced ?? #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/xqDGeKtOsU — JEDWARD (@planetjedward) March 8, 2021Recalling how she felt at the time, she said that “I’m scared, because this is very real. This isn’t some abstract idea. This is methodical, and this is not who I am.”Meghan said she grew concerned about her son not having a royal title because it meant he wouldn’t be provided security.Meghan said digesting everything during while pregnant was “very hard.” More than the “prince” title, she was the most concerned about her son’s safety and protection.“He needs to be safe,” a teary-eyed Meghan recalled. “We’re not saying don’t make him a prince or princess, whatever it’s going to be. But if you’re saying the title is going to affect their protection, we haven’t created this monster machine around us in terms of click bait and tabloid fodder. You’ve allowed that to happen, which means our son needs to be safe.”Meghan said it was hard for her to understand why there were concerns within the royal family about her son’s skin color. She said it was hard for her to “compartmentalize” those conversations.Sunday’s interview special opened with Meghan describing how naive she was about the ground rules of royal life before she married her husband, Harry, nearly three years ago. “I didn’t fully understand what the job was,” she said. She also noted that she did not know how to curtsy before meeting Queen Elizabeth II for the first time, and didn’t realize it would be necessary.“I will say I went into it naively because I didn’t grow up knowing much about the royal family,” Meghan said. “It wasn’t something that was part of conversation at home. It wasn’t something that we followed.”Meghan said she and Harry were aligned during their courtship because of their “cause-driven” work. But she did not fully comprehend the pressure of being linked the prestigious royal family.“It’s easy to have an image of it that is so far from reality,” she said. “And that’s what was really tricky over those past few years, is when the perception and the reality are two very different things. And you’re being judged on the perception, but you’re living the reality of it. There’s a complete misalignment and there’s no way to explain that to people.”At the top of the interview, Winfrey ran through several key points: that the production was following strict COVID-19 protocols, no topic was off limits and that Meghan and Harry were not being paid for the special.Royal interviews that aren’t tied to a specific topic are rare, and prior televised sessions have often proved problematic. Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC interview about his links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led to his own departure from royal duties after he failed to show empathy for Epstein’s victims.Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal duties began in March 2020 over what they described as the intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media toward the duchess.In Britain, the interview is seen as poorly timed. It will air while Harry’s 99-year-old grandfather Prince Philip remains hospitalized in London after undergoing a heart procedure.It is unclear what public reaction, if any, the queen and other royal family members will have to Sunday’s interview. The UK’s Sunday Times newspaper, citing an anonymous source, reported that the queen would not watch it.On Wednesday, the palace said it was launching a human resources investigation after a London newspaper reported that a former aide had accused Meghan of bullying staff in 2018.A spokesman for the duchess said she was “saddened by the latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself.”Meghan, who is pregnant with the couple’s second child, wore an empire-style black dress with embroidery. Harry wore a light gray suit and white dress shirt, minus a tie.As Meghan Markle, the actor starred in the TV legal drama “Suits.” She married Harry at Windsor Castle in May 2018, and their son, Archie, was born a year later.Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal life was supposed to be reviewed after a year. On Feb. 19, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the couple would not return to royal duties and Harry would relinquish his honorary military titles — a decision that made formal, and final, the couple’s split from the royal family.

Francis, who is vaccinated against COVID-19, did not wear a mask, but priests and faithful did.For his sermon, Francis delivered a meditation on the Beatitudes, taken from Jesus’ sermon that in God’s eyes, those who are blessed are not the wealthy, powerful or famous, but “the poor, those who mourn, the persecuted.”He said: “Love is our strength, the source of strength for those of our brothers and sisters who here too have suffered prejudice, indignities, mistreatment and persecutions for the name of Jesus.”Francis is visiting Iraq to give a spiritual boost to its dwindling Christian communities who were routed from their homes by the Islamic State group and face continued threat from Shiite militias.

Hostility, extremism and violence are not born of a religious heart: they are betrayals of He said there could never be peace as long as Iraqis viewed people of different faiths as the “other.”He said: “Peace does not demand winners or losers, but rather brothers and sisters who, for all the misunderstandings and hurts of the past, are journeying from conflict to unity.”1:15 a.m.Pope Francis has arrived in the ancient city of Ur for an interfaith meeting aimed at urging Iraq’s Muslims, Christians and other believers to put aside historic animosities and work together for peace and unity.Francis traveled Saturday to traditional birthplace of the Prophet Abraham, revered by Muslims, Christians and Jews, to reinforce his message of interreligious tolerance and fraternity during the first-ever papal visit to Iraq.The meeting was taking place in the shadow of Ur’s magnificent ziggurat, the 6,000-year-old archaeological complex near Nasiriyah in southern Iraq.Francis’ interfaith meeting in Ur came after his historic encounter in nearby Najaf with Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.

Ecumenism. Gestures of love change history-A commentary of the theologians Scarafoni and Rizzo: unity is generated in small things, from small communities and expands to the Church and the world-Paolo Scarafoni and Filomena Rizzo*

During the week of prayer for Christian unity Tertullian’s phrase «see - they say - how they love each other» (Apologeticum 39,7) often comes to mind with nostalgia. The newness of the love brought by Jesus Christ, which filled pagans with admiration for Christians, was evident in a world where hatred prevailed. Then that union in charity was broken by the sin of divisions. The apologies have become treated to “be right” against other Christians considered enemies: “altar against altar”, from brothers in Christ to heretics to condemn and drive away. The world looking at Christians can say: “see the desolation of division and how fragmented they are! They do not love each other!”. From testimony to counter-testimony.At the beginning of the 20th century, the first real steps of ecumenical dialogue were taken in the Protestant sphere. It was not easy because immediately two souls were highlighted: the one that wanted to affect the practical aspect, the action, convinced that “the action unites, the doctrine divides”; and that of those who sought unity through the effort to reach common theological statements. The Catholic Church remained in the background, with many personal efforts of theologians and monastic communities, but without official endorsement. The desire for union was accepted by the fathers of the Second Vatican Council; in the prologue to the decree on ecumenism Unitatis redintegratio (1965) they wrote: “The restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the principal concerns of the Second Vatican Council. Christ the Lord founded one Church and one Church only”. Since then the “separated” brothers are considered with respect and love; and this was deepened by Pope Francis when he says: “we can learn so much from one another! It is not just about being better informed about others, but rather about reaping what the Spirit has sown in them, which is also meant to be a gift for us” (Evangelii Gaudium 246).The Catholic Church has brought as a gift the ability to maintain together action and doctrine: in the wake of the Council the pope reiterates that “If we concentrate on the convictions we share, and if we keep in mind the principle of the hierarchy of truths, we will be able to progress decidedly towards common expressions of proclamation, service and witness” (EG 246). The other brothers in Christ give us the opportunity to learn much about collegiality and synodality, the role of the laity and in particular of women. “Through an exchange of gifts, the Spirit can lead us ever more fully into truth and goodness” (EG 246).For a long time ecumenism had been a discourse that remained intra-ecclesial, an inter-confessional dialogue. The real novelty today consists in rediscovering the eschatological dimension of unity, which concerns all of humanity, its salvation and all of creation. Christ the Saviour offers salvation to all people of all times. We pass from an ecclesiological perspective to a christological one. An ecumenism not based on the comparison of the churches, but on the rediscovery of the common mission, in which the Church is not for herself, but for the world, for real humanity especially the suffering, persecuted and discarded. In Christ, “brothers all”.Thanks to ecumenical dialogue and the search for Christian unity, a new humanity can be born. “There can be no ecumenism worthy of the name without a change of heart. For it is from renewal of the inner life of our minds, from self-denial and an unstinted love that desires of unity take their rise and develop in a mature way” (UR 7). These words of the Council today resonate more clearly within us also thanks to the experience of the pandemic that has highlighted so much poverty in human relations. When we engage in dialogue at all levels, from large Synods to condominium meetings, we realize that most of the problems arise from the human limitations of our behavior: cultural and racial prejudices, repeated and sterile criticism, self-referentiality, narcissism, inability to listen, lack of patience and kindness, lack of good manners, hardness of heart, etc. We are increasingly convinced that unity is generated in small things, from small communities and expands to the Church and to the world. Pope Francis insists so much on the importance of small gestures that generate processes of unity: “loving actions change history: even the ones that are small, hidden, everyday. For God guides history through the humble courage of those who pray, love and forgive” (Angelus December 26th 2020).* Fr. Paolo Scarafoni and Filomena Rizzo teach Theology together in Italy and Africa, in Addis Ababa. They are authors of books and articles of Theology.

Guterres: “Along with Pope Francis, I want the governments and peoples of the world to work in harmony with each other as a family of nations”-paolo mastrolili-Pubblicato il-01 Marzo 2021

NEW York. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, a WFP convoy was attacked in the Congo on February 22nd and three persons were killed, the Italian Ambassador Luca Attanasio, the carabiniere Vittorio Iacovacci and the WFP driver Mustapha Milambo. What does the UN know about this attack and what does the UN intend to do to make sure that the perpetrators are brought to justice? «I have condemned unequivocally the brutal attack in the DR Congo on the joint mission which saw the brutal killing of the Italian Ambassador to the DRC, Luca Attanasio, his carabinieri officer, Vittorio Iacovacci, and our colleague, Mustapha Milambo, a long time driver for the World Food Programme. My condolences go to their families, friends and colleagues around the world.We will conduct a thorough security review of this incident and work hand-in-hand with both the Congolese and Italian authorities as they conduct criminal investigations to ensure that those responsible for this crime are brought to justice.»In his latest Encyclical "All Brothers", Pope Francis addresses the reform of the UN. He says that in the face of the predominance of the economic dimension, a task for the United Nations will be to give substance to the concept of a «family of nations« working for the common good, the eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights. With tireless recourse «to negotiation, mediation and arbitration» - the Papal Document states - the UN must promote the force of law rather than the law of force. Pope Francis says that «There is need to prevent this Organization from being delegitimized, since its problems and shortcomings are capable of being jointly addressed and resolved.» What is your vision for the future of the Organization and its reform? «I am convinced that the United Nations is the only organization that can help to bring together the nations of the world to deal in common with the major threats we face, from COVID-19 to climate change to the financial support for countries that are suffering. But our organization also needs reform. We need multilateralism where diverse voices are heard. Multilateralism that delivers - and a reform of governance structures that is based on present realities and future-focused, not one stuck in the world of 75 years ago. Member states must focus on the reform of the Security Council, a reform that goes to the heart of the credibility of the United Nations.I have warned that we have been facing a rising tide of nationalism at a time when we need to focus on multilateral solutions to the problems we face. Along with Pope Francis, I want the governments and peoples of the world to work in harmony with each other as a family of nations; that is the one way we will be able to grapple with the problems we face and resolve them.»President Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement on Climate Change on the first day of his administration, however much time has already been lost, and you said that «Every country should enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions well in advance of COP26 next November in Glasgow, and in line with the long-term goal of global carbon neutrality by 2050.» What should the member states do to relaunch and enhance the efforts to address the climate change emergency, and to end what you called «the suicidal war with our planet»? «This year is going to be a make or break year to confront the global climate emergency. Our central objective in 2021 is to build a global coalition for carbon neutrality by 2050. Every country, city, financial institution and company needs to adopt credible and ambitious plans for transitioning to net zero emissions by 2050, and take decisive action now to put themselves on the right path. Countries must review their Nationally Determined Contributions before COP26 in Glasgow to cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2030 compared with 2010 levels. And we need to raise ambition across the board: in mitigation, but also in adaptation and finance. These are the steps I am urging all nations to take as we move down the road to Glasgow.I have to salute the Holy Father’s constant and vital leadership, notably through his seminal "Laudato Si’" encyclical, in the fight against climate change and the injustices it brings.»Addressing the General Assembly Special Session in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, you said that «Nearly a year into the pandemic, we face a human tragedy, and a public health, humanitarian and development emergency.» What should the members states do in order to make sure that the COVID-19 vaccines will be «a global public good available to everyone, everywhere», and to address «the devasting socio-economic, humanitarian and human rights aspects of this crisis»?«The one thing we have to do most of all is to treat vaccines as a global public good, rather than to embrace vaccine nationalism, as we have seen too many governments do in recent days.As I have warned the Member States, a global immunity gap puts everyone at risk. If the virus continues to circulate in the global South, it will inevitably mutate and put more people at risk ready to come back to hound the global North. Treating the vaccine as a global public good is not only the right thing to do morally but it is also in everyone’s self-interest.And vaccine nationalism is also an economic as well as a moral failure. The latest research by the International Chamber of Commerce shows that without support to the developing world, this crisis could cost the global economy up to US$9.2 trillion.But the pandemic is more than just a health issue. As I have said, it is clear that this crisis has quickly morphed into an economic and social crisis, and also very much a human rights crisis. The pandemic has revealed what we have always know but what is now very clear - the interconnectedness of our human family.»The issue of migrations has been at the center of your actions since you were the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, however it remains an emergency, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. What do you think of the European Commission’s newly released "Pact on Migration and Asylum", and what should be done to stabilize Libya, epicenter of dangerous irregular migration routes from Africa to Europe, in light of the recent progress in the political dialogue?«It is vital that all states, whether from receiving and transit countries or countries of origin, take steps to ensure that refugees and migrants are treated with respect for their safety and their dignity. They are us; they are our community - and any of us could become a refugee or migrant if our circumstances change. It is also clear that migrants and refugees have been hit particularly hard by the impact of the virus. Overall, migration must be seen, and managed, as a net-positive for economies and societies, both in terms of countries of origin and countries of destination.As for Libya, we have had a recent breakthrough in our work to restore stability to that country. I have recently spoken to the Prime Minister-designate and President of the Presidency Council-designate and I have wished them every success in their mandate to lead the country for the remainder of the Preparatory Phase leading up to national elections on 24 December 2021. To consolidate these gains, the nationwide cease-fire also needs to be respected and all foreign fighters need to leave Libya.I welcome the pledges made by the new executive authority to form a government reflecting political pluralism, geographic representation, and its commitment to include no less than 30 per cent of women in executive positions, as well as to ensure the participation of youth. After years of conflict, the people of Libya deserve a chance to rebuild their lives and their future.Their leaders, and all member states, need to put the interest of the Libyan women, children and men first and foremost.»

Analysis-After walling itself in, Israel learns to hazard the jungle beyond-For years, the country tried to protect the ‘villa’ by hunkering behind barriers, physically and mentally; now, it is sallying forth bravely into the region-By Lazar Berman-MAR 8,21-    Today, 2:58 am

“In the end, in the State of Israel, as I see it, there will be a fence surrounding it,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, during a February 2016 tour of the Israel-Jordan border. “They’ll say to me, ‘That’s what you want to do, to defend the villa?’ The answer is yes. ‘Will we surround all of Israel with fences and obstacles?’ The answer is yes. In the environment we live in, we must defend ourselves from the predators.”The reference to “defending the villa” might sound somewhat odd to most observers, but to Israeli ears, it is familiar shorthand for a widely — almost unconsciously – accepted idea.Israel is a villa in a jungle.The phrase is said to have originated with Ehud Barak, who gave a 1996 speech as foreign minister to Jewish communal leaders in St. Louis, saying, “The dreams and aspirations of many in the Arab world have not changed. We still live in a modern and prosperous villa in the middle of the jungle, a place where different laws prevail. No hope for those who cannot defend themselves and no mercy for the weak.”Sixteen years later, he was still using the phrase. Others continue to do so as well. “Villa in the Jungle” was what veteran military correspondent Alon Ben David called his 2020 lecture series on Israel’s security challenges.Then-US president Bill Clinton, center, prime minister Ehud Barak, left, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat walk on the grounds of Camp David, Maryland, at the start of the Middle East summit on July 11, 2000. (AP Photo/ Ron Edmonds, File)-It is not just a wry Israeli slogan. The “villa in the jungle” reflects a core Israeli understanding of its place in the Middle East… and how it should act in it.At the heart of the idea lies a deep-seated fear about what surrounds us. The metaphor recalls a pioneering homesteader who hacks down a small clearing in a dangerous forest, creating a precarious island of order with the trappings of civilization while threats lurk in the shadows beyond.Of course, the idea has inescapable colonialist undertones, and Barak has been criticized for the impolitic description of Israel’s neighbors. In artistic depictions from the colonial period in Africa, the jungle — a loaded concept, not a scientific designation — represents the limits of European ability to impose order, and thus to make sense of their surroundings. The jungle was, in the words of one author, “a blank screen, stripped of geographical, temporal, and topological specificity, onto which Europeans projected utopian or dystopian ideas about their home culture and its relationship to the colonial Other.”But whereas the disordered vastness of the jungle spurred Europeans to seek to claim it and impose order on it, the Israeli — and some might say, Jewish — impulse is the opposite. In Barak and Netanyahu’s formulation, the Middle Eastern jungle (the original, Sanskrit meaning of the word is “an arid desert,” so it is even more appropriate for this region than Barak may have realized) is home to primitive, bloodthirsty peoples, who live and die by the sword and the suicide bomb. Faced with what they saw as interminably violent neighbors, Israeli leaders sought to throw up palisades to keep their well-tended home and garden protected from the chaos lurking just beyond the walls.This was not a new idea. From the earliest days of Zionism, leading thinkers saw the future Jewish state as an island of enlightenment that had to be protected from its neighbors. “We should form there a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia,” wrote Theodor Herzl in The Jewish State, “an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism.” In 1923, Ze’ev Jabotinsky published two essays on his “iron wall” doctrine. “Settlement can only develop under the protection of a force that is not dependent on the local population, behind an iron wall which they will be powerless to break down.”‘Tel Aviv / Altneuland’: Theodor Herzl visits at a party in Tel Aviv on a Friday Night. (Moses Pini Siluk)-Israel built various desultory fences, but there was still a willingness to shape the region, primarily in an attempt to reduce threats the country faced, in the country’s first half-century. In the 1950s, IDF forces regularly carried out cross border raids against Jordan as reprisal against deadly Fedayeen infiltrations. In the 1960s and 1970s, Israel worked with Iran to support the Kurdish struggle against Iraq, sending military advisers and medical teams in a bid to keep Baghdad from sending expeditionary forces to fight against Israel.Israel’s classic national security concept reflected this urge to deal with threats by physically moving across borders. When war broke out, according to the concept, the small regular army would hold the line for 48 hours, while the massive reserve force was called up. Once they were mobilized, Israel would quickly move to the offensive, carrying the fight to enemy territory and defeating enemy forces with deep rapid maneuver. This concept brought swift battlefield victories in 1956 and 1967 as Israeli armored formations sliced through the Sinai Desert and the Golan Heights.The pinnacle of Israel’s attempts to shape its environs was in southern Lebanon. After decades of growing support for Christian communities there, in 1982 Israel’s massive ground army invaded Lebanon and tried to install a friendly government in Beirut. When an assassin’s bomb put an end to that effort, Israel in 1985 settled on a security zone. It was meant to be managed and secured by local forces with a minimal Israel presence, but when the South Lebanon Army started to collapse in the face of Hezbollah attacks, Israel could not help but be sucked in. The next 15 years of conflict against Hezbollah would cost hundreds of Israeli lives, and the trauma is still palpable 21 years after the  IDF’s humiliating withdrawal.Just after the Lebanon ordeal ended, Israeli faced a new horror. In late 2000, Palestinian suicide bombers began detonating themselves on buses, outside of clubs, and even at religious events, like a Passover seder. The brutal violence that Israelis saw as inherently Middle Eastern was now everywhere. The country had gone to sleep in their comfortable, well-appointed villa, and had woken up to find tendrils reaching through the windows and climbing the bedroom walls.Initially, the IDF believed it could defeat terror through offensive means. It based this belief on its counterterror raids in the Jordan Valley in the 1960s and in Gaza in the 1970s, and the idea carried through to the First Intifada and a wave of Hamas terror during the Oslo process.But as the Second Intifada wore on, rising public pressure at the failure to stop suicide bombings started to move security leaders like the head of the National Security Council and the Shin Bet. The villa needed better barriers around it. And Israel began to throw them up everywhere it saw a security threat. After the March 2002 Park Hotel bombing and the ensuing Operation Defensive Shield, Israel began building the controversial security barrier to separate West Bank Palestinians from Israelis. It built a new and improved fence on the Israel-Gaza border. Israel spent more than NIS 1.6 billion on a 245-mile fence on its border with Egypt, initially to keep African migrants out and then as a bulwark against Sinai-based terrorist groups. After deadly protests by Palestinians in Syria in May and June 2011, during which dozen of protesters breached the existing fence, Israel built an eight-meter-high barrier running south from Majd al-Shams. In 2016, Israel began building a fence from Eilat to Timna, on the border with Jordan.Part of the fence along the Israeli-Egyptian border, north of Eilat. (Idobi, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons)-If it was building walls, Israel had to get its citizens behind them. In 2005, Ariel Sharon pushed through the Disengagement from Gaza and the northern West Bank, evacuating thousands of Israeli civilians, many of them by force.Israeli attitudes shifted in concert with the walls going up, though it is impossible to tell which was the cause and which was the effect. In a 1995 poll, 50 percent of Jewish Israeli respondents said that the country should seek to integrate politically in Europe and North America, instead of in the Middle East, and that number rose to 62% in 2010. Similar jumps were seen in the desire to integrate economically and culturally with the West over the Middle East, as well over the same 15-year period.While many hemmed over the message the fences were sending, the defensive posture proved its worth. The West Bank fence – along with the death of Yasser Arafat and increasingly effective IDF operations – drastically reduced the number of attacks from the West Bank, though many claim that its importance is exaggerated. While countries across the Middle East collapsed, resulting in massive refugee flows and civil war, Israel managed to come out largely unscathed, and in many important ways strengthened.The known and the unknown-There are deep psychological foundations for Israel’s desire to wall out the chaos on its borders. Romanian philosopher of religion Mercia Eliade wrote that humans view the world through a primary categorical axis — culture v. nature, or alternatively, familiar v. foreign. This fundamental lens of viewing reality runs so deep that the human brain has developed two systems of adaptation corresponding to these two categories — the known and the unknown, the familiar and the foreign.The first, which we seek to keep activated, operates when we are in familiar territory. The second functions when we are in unfamiliar territory. We try with all of our might to keep the second system turned off, because when it operates it means we are in a dangerous, unpredictable dominion where our current knowledge is not relevant and mistakes can be fatal.When we encounter the unfamiliar, writes Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, “we stop and retreat (in which case we have implicitly categorized the new territory as ‘something better avoided hurriedly by someone as vulnerable as me’).” It is tempting to remain huddled contentedly in the predictable, orderly world. But this inevitably becomes impossible. The jungle encroaches on the villa, people change, knowledge becomes outdated. Order inevitably breaks down into chaos.We protect the familiar by building ever higher walls to keep out the frightening creatures lurking outside. Rusty cords of barbed wire become state-of-the-art smart fences with sensors and cameras. The Gaza border running across the surface sits on top of a concrete barrier running deep into the ground. Concrete walls snake over Jerusalem’s hills. Israeli leaders congratulate themselves for pushing back the jungle, and restoring calm and order to the villa.This course is not sustainable. A world that is sealed off from its surroundings becomes increasingly ossified and tyrannical. New ideas, leaders, and ways of thinking cannot take root, and the realm of order starts shrinking and  becoming less stable.The walls began affecting the mindset of soldiers and leaders back in the villa. There was a feeling of complacency behind them, and now crossing the walls into the jungle had enormous emotional significance. The state had built up mental barriers in the minds of its defenders no less formidable than those on its borders. The Gilad Shalit kidnapping in 2006 — after the Gaza disengagement — remains a stunning illustration of the adverse psychological affects of being walled in. Hamas terrorists tunneled under the border fence, and attacked outposts and a tank where soldiers failed to react effectively. They were either entirely unfocused on a potential threat, or were simply asleep, assuming that the mere presence of the barrier would keep them safe.According to the report by Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland, who investigated the incident, Israeli forces were slow to cross the fence into Gaza in pursuit of the kidnappers, thinking they needed special permissions and preparations to enter the Strip.Even more ominous, however, is the inescapable reality that the jungle inevitably finds its way back in. With barriers separating them and Israel’s population, Hezbollah and Hamas developed increasingly effective rocket arsenals. Its fighters might be fenced off in Gaza, but Hamas can shut down Ben Gurion Airport and send Tel Avivians scrambling frantically from their beachfront cafes into bomb shelters.  While the Iron Dome anti-missile system gave Israelis another protective sphere, Hamas and Hezbollah undermined that sense of security with tunnels that led inside communities in Israel. Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups found it easier to facilitate and inspire East Jerusalem residents to carry out attacks than to get terrorists out of the West Bank.What’s more, it takes growing numbers of soldiers to protect Israel’s walls. It took only eight companies to protect Israel’s borders before 1967. Today, surrounded by walls – and with peace agreements on its longest borders – Israel has numerous brigades on its borders, with some units designed specifically for the task.-Exploring the chaos-There is another approach with which Israel can approach the dangers it perceives around it — one that is certainly more frightening and challenging, but also sustainable and ultimately more rewarding. We can confidently explore the chaos,  and realize the potential within it to generate new knowledge and order.If we explore the unknown successfully, write Peterson, “the domain of the known grows, or transforms, and the domain of the unknown shrinks or at least returns to invisibility…” If we fail to do so, “the domain of the unknown gains some ground, as the mistake remains unrectified, and the structure of culture shrinks or becomes more unstable.”Though the exploration of chaos goes against the human impulse for safety, we — and far less complex mammals — do possess the adaptive system built for just this task. When a new object is placed into a rat’s cage, at first the animal freezes in terror, passively observing the object. If no further threat emanates from the object, then the rat begins its exploration, slowly and at a distance at first. It tries to provoke an action by dashing about the edges of cages. In time, it moves closer, sniffing and scratching at the object.Through active exploration, the “animal builds its world of significances from the information generated in the course of — as a consequence of — ongoing exploratory behavior,” writes Peterson in his book “Maps of Meaning.”So it is with human exploration as well. “We feel comfortable somewhere new, once we have discovered that nothing exists there that will threaten or hurt us (more particularly, when we have adjusted our behavior and schemas of representation so that nothing there is likely to or able to threaten or hurt us),” he writes.Encouragingly, Israel and Israelis are heading out beyond the walls with increasing confidence. It began with covert ties with Arab states developed by the Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign Ministry and security agencies over the last decade, which are now blooming into broad diplomatic, economic, scientific, and cultural ties. Private citizens are playing a leading role, as Israeli entrepreneurs seek out opportunities in the UAE and Bahrain, and tens of thousands of travelers visit Dubai.Rhetoric has changed as well. Officials talk about Israel’s “place in the region,” not as viewed from the safety of a keep but as an active participant.“Why should I hide?” asked Israel’s envoy to Morocco, David Govrin recently. “I don’t have to hide. We went two days ago to a big mall…Naturally, we were asked, ‘Where are you from? We were welcomed in a very warm way…It’s really amazing, wonderful.”Even beyond the Arab world, there seems to be a new openness to explore. “Israel is returning to Africa, and Africa is returning to Israel in a big way,” said Netanyahu after Equatorial Guinea announced it would be moving its embassy to Jerusalem.Even in the dangerous “northern theater,” decision-makers realize that defensive measures alone cannot keep the country safe. Starting in 2016, Israel’s so-called Campaign between the Wars has taken the fight to Iran and its proxies in Syria and beyond, striking over a thousand targets including weapons shipments, bases, and other sites.But just as there are real dangers in the jungle, Israel faces serious threats on its borders. The question is whether this new willingness to engage constructively with the region will lead to a new security approach that leads to better results and possibly novel solutions.Normalized ties with Arab countries will help security coordination, and could even lead to joint security and intelligence organizations. It could well lead to warmer and broader relationships with Egypt and Jordan, which would improve coordination and help alleviate some root causes of instability along Israel’s longest borders.The final question that remains to be answered – and likely will not be for years — is how this affects the impasse with the Palestinians. It is certainly conceivable that a new openness to Israel in the Arab world will seep into Palestinian society, and pragmatic voices will demand new, less rejectionist leaders. Israel might also help integrate moderate Palestinians into regional partnerships, as has been done with the East Mediterranean Gas Forum, for instance.In many ways, Israel is learning that protecting the villa cannot mean walling it off only. Walls and defense are one element of a sustainable, effective approach for prospering in the Middle East. It must be accompanied with a spirit of exploration and discovery, and openness to confronting what seems threatening and discovering new opportunities there.  A jungle is disorienting and threatening, but it is also a place of great riches and opportunity. “It is during the process of exploration of the unpredictable or unexpected that all knowledge and wisdom is generated,” writes Peterson, “all boundaries of adaptive competence extended.”Israel appears to be increasingly eager to engage in this process, to sally forth into the jungle and find security by crafting its place in the region.

Iranian drone footage shows Israeli ship after explosion damage-Netanyahu blamed Tehran for blast; Iranian official provides al-Mayadeen channel with video and images of damaged MV Helios Ray, denies involvement-By TOI staff and Agencies-MAR 8,21-Today, 10:46 am

Iranian drone footage showing an Israeli-owned cargo ship after it was struck by a mysterious explosion was published by the al-Mayadeen news channel Sunday.The MV Helios car-carrier suffered damage on February 26 when holes were blown into its hull as it sailed in the Persian Gulf. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran, saying it deliberately targeted the Bahamas-registered vessel. Iran swiftly denied the charge.In a short clip aired by the station, an airborne camera focuses on holes in the side of the ship, just above the waterline.An Iranian official, who provided the footage, told al-Mayadeen “elements from inside the ship itself caused these holes” as a deception.The official, who was not named in the report, said that Iran had “no reason to carry out an operation against an Israeli cargo ship, especially in the weeks before the elections,” referring to Israel’s approaching March 23 vote.He accused Netanyahu of creating a security situation due to the “fragile electoral situation” and in order to continue implementing the policies of the previous US administration under Donald Trump.“Netanyahu’s claim that Iran targeted the ship on the eve of the Israeli elections raises suspicions,” the official said. He suggested Israel is worried about regional changes under the new Biden administration in the White House and as a result of what he described as “the decline” of Saudi Arabia’s power.The explosion reportedly punched two holes in the vessel’s port side and two on its starboard side, just above the waterline. The incident recalled the summer of 2019, when the US military blamed Iran for a series of suspected attacks on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. The Navy had alleged that Iran used limpet mines — designed to be attached magnetically to a ship’s hull — to strike some of the vessels. Iran denied any role in the suspected assaults.Tensions between Iran and the West have escalated in recent weeks as Iran accelerates its nuclear program, seeking to pressure the United States to grant sanctions relief it received under its tattered 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. In the current standoff, each side is insisting the other move first to return to the deal, which Trump abandoned nearly three years ago.

India said to blame Iran’s Quds Force for blast outside Israeli embassy-Indian counter-terror investigators reportedly believe the IRGC tasked a local cell with planting the remote-control detonated device in January in New Delhi-By TOI staff-MAR 08,21-Today, 8:25 am

India has concluded that Iran was behind a blast outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi in January, with the device planted by a local Shiite cell, an Indian news organization reported Monday.The Hindustan Times said investigators concluded the attack was carried out by the Quds Force branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tasked with carrying out overseas operations, and that the device was detonated by remote control.According to the report, there was an attempt to mislead investigators into blaming the Islamic State terror organization for the bomb, but counter-terrorism agencies were clear that it was an Iranian attack.“That the bomb was not of high intensity, with no human targets in mind was perhaps because the Iranians did not want to run afoul of a friendly nation like India. But the message was clear and the threat is real,” an unnamed expert told the outlet.A letter found close to the scene of the blast was a death threat to the ambassador that warned he was being constantly being watched and vowed to avenge the deaths of “martyrs” Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander who was killed in a January 2020 United States drone strike; Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a top Iraqi militia commander who was killed along with Soleimani; and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the architect of Iran’s nuclear program, killed in a November 2020 attack Tehran has blamed on Israel.The handwritten note, in English, but riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, was addressed to Israel’s ambassador, Ron Malka, and referred to him as a “terrorist of the terrorist nation.”It claimed to be from the “India Hizbollah,” a group that is not previously known, according to the report, which included a photo of the letter. Lebanese Hezbollah is an Iran-backed terror organization that is sworn to Israel’s destruction.Warning that Malka is in their crosshairs, the letter said “you cannot stop anyway no matter how hard you would pick, we can end your life anytime anywhere.”Declaring that all “participants and partners” of Israeli “terrorist ideology will be no more in existence” the letter warned: “now get ready for a big and better revenge for our heroes.”“All that is left is for you to count the days,” the note ended.A police statement described the explosion as caused by a “very low-intensity improvised device” that blew out the windows on three nearby cars and said a preliminary investigation “suggests a mischievous attempt to create a sensation.”Channel 12 reported at the time that Israeli explosive experts and the Mossad intelligence agency were involved in the investigation.Israeli missions have already been on alert around the world in the wake of the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist in November of last year. Tehran has blamed Israel and promised revenge.In 2012, the wife of Israel’s defense attaché to India was moderately injured after a motorcyclist attached a bomb to her car near Israel’s New Delhi embassy. Iran was suspected in the attack.It was part of a series of attempted attacks against Israeli targets around the world attributed to Iran. The same day as the 2012 New Delhi blast, a bomb was discovered on an Israeli diplomat’s car in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.The next day, three Iranians accidentally blew up their house in Thailand. The men, who were never charged with terrorism, were freed last year as Iran released Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert who was imprisoned for more than two years on spying charges.There was speculation that those incidents were in response to Israel’s alleged assassinations of multiple Iranian nuclear scientists as Jerusalem fought to curtail Iran’s nuclear program.

Israeli jets escort American B-52s during flyby, in show of force to Iran-Move comes amid tensions between US, Israel, and Tehran, with Iran tied to missile strikes on US bases and an attack on an Israeli-owned ship in Gulf of Oman-By Judah Ari Gross-7 March 2021, 8:24 pm

Iraeli F-15 fighter jets escorted two American B-52 bombers through Israeli airspace on Sunday in a new show of force by the United States against Iran — with an Israeli element — amid rising tensions in the region.Recent weeks have seen multiple attacks on American military bases in Iraq by Iran-linked militias, including one last week that resulted in the death of an American contractor, as well an attack on an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman that Israel has blamed on Tehran. Late last month, the US responded to the rocket attacks on its bases with an airstrike on an Iran-linked militia in Syria, killing at least one member.Sunday’s flyby through the region by the B-52 heavy bombers was at least the seventh such maneuver in the past six months. It marked the first time that Israeli planes were photographed accompanying the US bomber, however.Each B-52 was accompanied by four Israeli F-15 jets.According to the US military, the patrol flight was meant to “deter aggression and reassure partners and allies of the US military’s commitment to security in the region.”In addition to the Israeli F-15s, aircraft from Saudi Arabia and Qatar escorted the B-52 bombers as they flew through their respective airspaces.“This flight is another testament to the strategic cooperation with American forces, which is a cornerstone in the preservation of the security of the airspace of the State of Israel and the Middle East,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.In recent months, Tehran has attempted to improve its bargaining position with the United States on the issue of its nuclear program by ratcheting up tensions in the region as the two countries attempt to negotiate a mutual return to the 2015 nuclear deal.In addition, Iran has for months threatened retaliation against Israel over the killing of its chief military nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, in what was widely attributed to an Israeli Mossad operation. An attempted bombing near the Israeli embassy in India last month, as well as last week’s mine attack on an Israeli cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, have both been attributed to Iran by Israel.
