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

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

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

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.

— The Latest on Pope Francis' historic visit to Iraq, aimed at rallying
the country's dwindling Christian community after decades of war and
unrest (all times local):6:40 p.m.Pope Francis is reminding Iraq’s
Chaldean Catholics of one of the core tenets of the Catholic faith: that
those who are persecuted, poor and mourn are blessed.Francis honored
Iraq’s persecuted Christians by celebrating Mass on Saturday at the
Chaldean Catholic cathedral in Baghdad. It was the first time a pope has
celebrated a Mass using the Chaldean rite that is known to most Iraqi
Catholics.Despite concerns about coronavirus infections, the church was
full, stuffy with incense and a maskless choir sang hymns and chanted
Scripture readings. 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. Chaldean Catholics are believed to
represent around 80 percent of the estimated 300,000 Christians left in
Iraq.___6:30 p.m.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he is
pleased to see the historic visit by Pope Francis to Iraq.In a tweet, he
says the U.S. believes his visit will inspire hope and “help promote
religious harmony and understanding among members of the different
religions in Iraq and around the world.”Pope Francis is on a four-day
visit to Iraq, brushing aside security concerns and rising coronavirus
infections in the Arab country to show support for its shrinking
Christian community.He and Iraq’s top Shiite cleric delivered a powerful

war-weary Arab nation to embrace Iraq’s long-beleaguered Christian
minority during a historic meeting in the holy city of Najaf.6:20
p.m-Pope Francis is celebrating Mass in Baghdad’s Chaldean Catholic
cathedral, which was full of mask-wearing faithful despite concerns
about possible coronavirus contagion.Iraqi and Vatican church officials
had promised social distancing and other health measures would be
enforced during Francis’ four-day visit to Iraq, especially at his
indoor events. Organizers said an estimated 180 people could fit safely
in the St. Joseph’s Chaldean Church.They crowded toward the center aisle
as a maskless Francis processed toward the altar, flanked by other
priests. A choir sang and incense wafted around. Francis and the Vatican
delegation are vaccinated, but the majority of Iraqis are not.Francis
is in Iraq to encourage its minority Christians to remain and help the
country rebuild, despite having endured years of persecution by the
Islamic State, discrimination by the Muslim majority and continued
threats from Shiite militias.He went ahead with the trip despite rising
COVID-19 cases in Iraq, which went into a modified lockdown in
mid-February.___5:15 p.m.Iraq's prime minister has declared March 6 a
National Day of Tolerance and Coexistence in Iraq after Pope Francis'
meeting with Iraq's top Shiite cleric and a landmark inter-religious
gathering,Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has announced the
declaration in a tweet, saying it was “in celebration" of the pontiff's
two events Saturday, which al-Kadhimi called “historic.”The central
message of Francis' weekend visit to Iraq has been a call for the
country to accept its diversity and ensure minorities equal rights. The
pope hopes to ensure the place of Iraq's Christian population, dwindling
under years of violence and discrimination.Francis met Saturday with
Shiite Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in the holy city of Najaf and
attended an inter-religious gathering in the Plains of Ur, traditional
birthplace of Abraham, the patriarch revered by Jews, Christians and
Muslims._12:15 p.m.Pope Francis is urging Iraq’s Muslim and Christian
religious leaders to put aside animosities and work together for peace
and unity during an interfaith meeting in the traditional birthplace of
the Prophet Abraham, father of their faiths.He told the gathering: “This
is true religiosity: to worship God and to love our neighbor.”Francis
traveled to the ruins of Ur in southern Iraq on Saturday to reinforce
his message of interreligious tolerance and fraternity during the
first-ever papal visit to Iraq, a country riven by religious and ethnic
divisions.With a magnificent ziggurat nearby, Francis told the faith
leaders that it was fitting that they come together in Ur, “back to our
origins, to the sources of God’s work, to the birth of our religions” to
pray together for peace as children of Abraham, the prophet common to
Muslims, Christians and Jews.He said: “From this place, where faith was
born, from the land of our father Abraham, let us affirm that God is
merciful and that the greatest blasphemy is to profane his name by
hating our brothers and sisters. 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

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

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.
