PM lambastes modern day anti-Semitism as Israel remembers Holocaust-We’ve not done enough for survivors, PM and president lament as Jewish state marks annual memorial to the 6 million slain by the Nazis-By Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 9:33 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his speech at the start of Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day to hit out Wednesday at Islamist extremists and Europeans for continuing to incite against Jews and question the Jewish state’s right to exist, which he said was tantamount to anti-Semitism.The Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem hosted the ceremony that began the memorial, during which six survivors were to each light a beacon — one for every million Jews slain. Sara Kain, Robert Tamashof, Jehosua Hesel Fried, Joseph Labi, Chaim Grosbein and Lonia Rozenhoc were chosen to light the symbolic torches this year.“Slander comes before destruction. Today millions in the Muslim world read and hear threatening lies about the Jewish people. They say Jews are the descendants of monkeys and pigs, they say Jews drink the blood of their enemies,” Netanyahu said during the ceremony. Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, he said, would not have been surprised by anti-Jewish comments on social media.“This incitement comes from Islamic extremism and the Arab world. But in the last years it has been joined by incitement no less destructive from the Western world. British parliamentarians, Swedish officials and French thought leaders,” he said.“If over the years, anti-Semites portrayed Jews as enemies of humanity, today they portray the Jewish state as the enemy of humanity. There is no end to these lies,” he added.The prime minister also lamented what he called Israel’s failure to provide a sufficiently decent life for its Holocaust survivors. President Reuven Rivlin was correct in admitting that the country had failed in this regard, Netanyahu said, referring to comments made by the head of state before the prime minister took the podium.For years we haven’t done enough,” Netanyahu said, but added that the government would increase its support for survivors “because it’s our obligation.”“I came here today, to ask each one of you for forgiveness,” Rivlin said. “We did not understand, we did not want to understand, and we have not done enough.”The president also lashed out at ongoing anti-Semitism around the world.“Anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are not a fad, it is a difficult chronic disease. We will forever pursue the blood of our brothers and sisters, which screams at us from within the earth. We will continue to pursue the deniers, those who want to forget, and those who want to blur history,” he said.“We will forever know how to protect ourselves by ourselves. The Holocaust will forever place us, the Jewish people, as eternal prosecutors on the stage of humanity, prosecutor against anti-Semitism, racism and ultra-nationalism.”The theme of this year’s commemoration is the struggle to maintain the human spirit during the Holocaust, Yad Vashem said ahead of the remembrance day.The solemn event is marked by music, speeches by leaders, the lighting of memorial candles and the saying of Kaddish, the sacred Jewish prayer for the dead.On Wednesday, a siren will sound at 10 a.m. across Israel, signalling the start of a two-minute silence for the victims of the Holocaust.The siren will be followed by ceremonies honoring those who lost their lives. The central event will again take place at Yad Vashem, where dignitaries will lay wreaths next to a monument commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. A ceremony will also be held at the Knesset.On Thursday afternoon, thousands of people are expected to take part in the annual March of the Living in Poland, from Auschwitz extermination camp to the adjacent Birkenau site.
Israel jets said to strike Gaza, in response to Hamas mortar fire-Israel warns Strip’s terrorist rulers to stop shelling troops at border or face harsher response; flare-up may be response to IDF operation to seek and destroy terror tunnels-By Ilan Ben Zion May 4, 2016, 7:52 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Israeli officials on Wednesday warned Hamas to cease firing mortars at IDF troops on the border with the Gaza Strip or face a strong response from the army. Soon after Israeli jets were reported to have fired on targets in southern Gaza.The officials conveyed the warning to the Palestinian Islamist terror group through intermediaries, the Walla news site reported.“We responded firmly, and we also conveyed stern messages to them,” senior defense officials told Ynet.Israel’s warning came following six instances of cross-border fire from the Gaza Strip in the past day, including five mortars fired at Israeli troops near the border. The soldiers responded with tank fire, with at least one shell reportedly striking a power station in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya. Another report said a shell struck a house in Gaza City as well.Shortly thereafter, Palestinian media in the Gaza Strip reported Israeli planes carrying out several bombing runs striking targets near the southern city of Rafah. There were no immediate reports of injuries.The IDF had no immediate comment on the reported airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.Earlier Wednesday, following the initial cross-border exchanges, Hamas evacuated schools and headquarters in Gaza City.The IDF also banned farmers from working along the border following Wednesday’s incidents.The military confirmed Wednesday that it was operating to locate Hamas attack tunnels burrowed beneath the border with southern Israel. Last month, the IDF located and destroyed a Hamas tunnel near the Kerem Shalom crossing. The IDF believes the new attacks on troops on the border — including gunfire at engineering corps machinery operating near the fence — mark a bid by Hamas to prevent the army from locating and destroying tunnels the group has dug since summer 2014.Israel’s Channel 10 indicated that the new flare-up at the border may have begun because Israel discovered “a tunnel or something.” Hamas has been digging attack tunnels toward, and possibly into Israel, rehabilitating and expanding the attack tunnel network destroyed by Israel in the 2014 war.Israel is determined to keep hunting down all the Hamas tunnels, and Hamas has the dilemma now of using them to attack Israel or risk Israel finding them, the TV report said. It added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that Israel had used new technology to uncover the Hamas tunnel dug into Israel last month, and that Hamas is worried that Israeli technology might indeed render its prized tunnel network vulnerable.Two weeks ago, in a Times of Israel analysis piece, Avi Issacharoff highlighted the dilemmas as follows: “Israel faces no simple dilemma in grappling with the tunnel problem because, plainly, tackling the tunnels at root requires activity on the Palestinian side of the Gaza border and perhaps a wider solution regarding Hamas. For Hamas, the dilemmas are just beginning. What will it do if it establishes that the various hints in the Israeli media about improved technology enabling tunnel detection turn out to be true, and its network of tunnels is known to Israel? Will it maintain its current policy of restraint, keeping things quiet? Or, to the contrary, might it move into accelerated action because it fears that this prized strategic asset, this network of terror tunnels, may be about to topple domino-style — exposed and destroyed by Israel?”

Hamas braces for retaliatory strikes, as IDF hits back at Gaza shelling-Army responds to repeated mortar fire from Strip, while Palestinian terror group evacuates schools, offices in Strip-By Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 6:09 pm
The Israel Defense Forces hit back Wednesday afternoon at repeated mortar fire from the Gaza Strip, as the Hamas terror group that controls the coastal territory began evacuating facilities in anticipation of a tougher Israeli response to almost 24 hours of cross-border tensions.The army returned fire at suspected Hamas outposts after five separate mortar attacks in less than a day. In the most recent attack, a shell fired from Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon exploded inside Israel adjacent to the border fence, near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. No injuries or damage were reported.The IDF said it opened fire at “suspicious positions” in Shejaiya following the shelling.The Wednesday afternoon mortar attacks brought the number of attacks from Gaza in the past 24 hours to six.Reports from the Gaza Strip said that a fire broke out in a Shejaiya power plant after it was struck by an IDF tank shell.According to Palestinian reports, the escalating situation prompted Hamas to evacuate two schools and their headquarters in Gaza City over fears of IDF retaliatory strikes. The IDF, meanwhile, declared the area around Nahal Oz a closed military zone, Channel 10 reported.Earlier Wednesday, mortar shells exploded near Israeli soldiers operating along the southern part of the Israel-Gaza border. Hours later, IDF troops stationed along the northern section of the border reported hearing two loud explosions, which were also believed to be the result of mortar fire.There were no injuries or damage in either incident.Following both attacks, the IDF responded with tank fire at positions inside Shejaiya. One tank shell hit an observation post manned by the military wing of Hamas. No casualties were reported though the outpost was said to be damaged.Tensions began when Israeli soldiers along the Strip’s northern border came under attack Tuesday.Gunfire from across the border struck an IDF vehicle operating nearby. No injuries were reported, but heavy engineering machinery was damaged by the volley, the army said.Palestinian media in Gaza reported intense gunfire from Israeli forces near Kibbutz Nahal Oz immediately afterwards.The flare-up came just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured a southern section of the Israel-Gaza border on Tuesday afternoon.During his tour of the border with Gaza, Netanyahu told troops that the past two years, since the end of Israel’s 2014 war with Hamas, have been the quietest in many.During the 50-day conflict, the Gaza-based terror organization lobbed hundreds of rockets and mortars at Israeli cities and towns. Mortars proved to be one of the deadliest means of attack, claiming the lives of 10 IDF soldiers in a single week, three Israeli civilians and a Thai national.Although the area has been relatively calm since the end of the 2014 fighting, sporadic rocket fire and attacks on IDF patrols have often originated in areas adjacent to the border fence. In recent weeks, tensions along the border have increased, with Israeli officials warning of a possible uptick in violence.There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the recent attacks, although Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri warned Israel not to “test the patience of the Palestinian resistance.”Masri told the Palestinian news agency Ma’an on Wednesday that Israel would “pay a heavy price” for a “flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement.”

Opposition MK denies Netanyahu-Herzog coalition talks-Rejecting PM’s earlier statement, Eitan Cabel says Likud-Zionist Union unity government is not in the works-By Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 9:22 pm
A senior member of the opposition Zionist Union faction on Wednesday denied coalition negotiations with Benjamin Netanyahu, hours after the prime minister confirmed rumors that his Likud party and Zionist Union had been in advanced stages of talks on a new unity government.MK Eitan Cabel, a key Zionist Union organizer who chairs the Knesset Economy Committee, leveled harsh criticism of Netanyahu in an Army Radio interview.“So what if Netanyahu said that, he says a lot of things,” Cabel said. “He has his own interests, and he’ll say whatever comes to mind to strengthen them.”He said a concrete proposal was never submitted to Zionist Union chairman Isaac Herzog.Cabel, who is seen as a possible challenger to Herzog for the leadership of the party, has been adamant in his opposition to a unity coalition with Likud. “We can’t go into a government just because they offered us ministerial positions,” he told the radio last month.Following a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Wednesday, Netanyahu announced that he and Herzog had discussed the possibility of a unity government, but that those discussions ended after it emerged that Herzog was under investigation for campaign finance issues, according to Channel 2.The prime minister added that he could not expand his narrowest of coalitions, which has 61 out of a total of 120 Knesset seats, as “there is one who doesn’t want to (join) and one who can’t,” referring respectively to former foreign minister Avigdor Liberman and Herzog, Channel 2 said.Netanyahu’s announcement comes two weeks after Herzog denied the numerous reports of coalition talks.Last week, the Haaretz daily reported that Herzog and Netanyahu had been holding secret talks for months, and the sides had even swapped draft agreements.The two had expected to reach an agreement by the end of next month and to present a unity government in time for the summer legislative session, according to the paper.Gaps were said to remain between the two sides, including Herzog’s demand that Naftali Bennett’s ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party be removed from the coalition — a demand said to have been rejected by Netanyahu — and disagreement over the shape of the diplomatic process with the Palestinians.On Monday, Channel 10 reported that under a potential unity government agreement the Zionist Union would get seven ministerial portfolios, including foreign for Herzog and economy for former Labor leader Shelly Yachimovich, and a more marginal post for former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, whose Hatnua party forms part of Zionist Union. The coalition guidelines were not to have changed, and the Orthodox-nationalist Jewish Home party would have remained in the coalition.According to the report, more important than the probe into Herzog’s fundraising irregularities in the 2013 Labor primaries, the downfall of the talks was the rejection of the offer by Livni and Yachimovich.When Herzog put the deal to the two of them, Yachimovich said while there were conditions under which she would join the government, these terms were not acceptable. She also said she wanted to be justice minister. Livni, for her part, said she would not accept a marginal ministry.Rumors about a looming unity government have waxed and waned since last year’s elections.
UK councils face court challenge over Israel boycotts-Jewish Human Rights Watch files suit against local municipalities for passing ‘anti-Semitic’ BDS motions-By AP and Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 7:17 pm
A Jewish group has launched a lawsuit against British local authorities that called for boycotts of goods from Israeli settlements, claiming the actions are anti-Semitic.Jewish Human Rights Watch — an organization devoted to monitoring efforts to boycott Israel — is asking the High Court to rule against three councils: Leicester in England, and Swansea and Gwynedd in Wales. It claims the authorities have failed to consider “the impact of their actions on the Jewish community.”Leicester and Swansea councils say their resolutions calling for sanctions are nonbinding, apply only to illegal settlements and are not attacks on the State of Israel.Leicester’s motion, passed last November and submitted by council member Mohammed Dawood, called for boycotting products from the West Bank “in so far as it is legal,” citing Israel’s “continuing to ignore and breach international law” and “continuing its occupation” of Palestinian territories.Gwynedd says it backed a trade embargo with Israel in 2014 to condemn “attacks by the Israeli state on the territory of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.”The British NGO War on Want on Wednesday slammed JHRW’s legal proceedings as “shameful,” according to a report in the Independent. “The illegal settlements are a part of the systematic abuses of international law and human rights committed by Israel against the Palestinians,” senior campaigner Ryvka Barnard said.A two-day court hearing in the case began Wednesday.

Peter Lerner said in a statement that Israel “will continue to operate in order to protect the civilians of Israel from all Hamas terrorist threats above and beneath ground.”“Our efforts to destroy the #Hamas terror tunnel network, a grave violation of Israel’s sovereignty, will not cease or be deterred.”The air strikes struck targets around Gaza’s derelict international airport and in nearby farming areas, without causing casualties, said the interior ministry for the Hamas-run Strip.The #IDF will continue to operate in order to protect the civilians of #Israel from all #Hamas terrorist threats above & beneath ground.— Peter Lerner (@LTCPeterLerner) May 4, 2016-Just before the strikes were launched, Israeli officials warned Hamas to cease firing mortars at its troops on the Gaza border, or face a strong military response.The officials conveyed the message to the Palestinian Islamist terror group through intermediaries, the Walla news website reported.“We responded firmly, and we also conveyed stern messages to them,” senior defense officials told Israel’s Ynet news.Hamas said in a statement that Israel bore “full responsibility” for the escalation in hostilities.Israel’s warning came following six instances of cross-border fire from the Gaza Strip in the past day, including five mortars fired at Israeli troops near the border. The soldiers responded with tank fire, with at least one shell reportedly striking a power station in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya. Another report said a shell struck a house in Gaza City as well.Earlier in the day, following the initial cross-border exchanges, Hamas evacuated schools and headquarters in Gaza City.The IDF also banned farmers from working along the border following Wednesday’s incidents.The military said Wednesday that it was operating to locate Hamas attack tunnels burrowed beneath the border with southern Israel. Last month the IDF located and destroyed a tunnel discovered near the Kerem Shalom Crossing.The IDF believes the recent attacks on troops on the border — including gunfire at engineering corps machinery operating near the fence — mark a bid by Hamas to prevent the army from locating and destroying tunnels the group has dug since summer 2014.Israel’s Channel 10 indicated that the new flare-up at the border may have begun because Israel discovered “a tunnel or something.” Hamas has been digging attack tunnels toward, and possibly into Israel, rehabilitating and expanding the attack tunnel network destroyed by Israel in the 2014 war.Israel is determined to keep hunting down all the Hamas tunnels, and Hamas has the dilemma now of using them to attack Israel or risk Israel finding them, the TV report said. It added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that Israel had used new technology to uncover the Hamas tunnel dug into Israel last month, and that Hamas is worried that Israeli technology might indeed render its prized tunnel network vulnerable.Two weeks ago, in a Times of Israel analysis piece, Avi Issacharoff highlighted the dilemmas as follows: “Israel faces no simple dilemma in grappling with the tunnel problem because, plainly, tackling the tunnels at root requires activity on the Palestinian side of the Gaza border and perhaps a wider solution regarding Hamas.For Hamas, the dilemmas are just beginning. What will it do if it establishes that the various hints in the Israeli media about improved technology enabling tunnel detection turn out to be true, and its network of tunnels is known to Israel? Will it maintain its current policy of restraint, keeping things quiet? Or, to the contrary, might it move into accelerated action because it fears that this prized strategic asset, this network of terror tunnels, may be about to topple domino-style — exposed and destroyed by Israel?”
Hamas braces for retaliatory strikes, as IDF hits back at Gaza shelling-Army responds to repeated mortar fire from Strip, while Palestinian terror group evacuates schools, offices in Strip-By Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 6:09 pm
The Israel Defense Forces hit back Wednesday afternoon at repeated mortar fire from the Gaza Strip, as the Hamas terror group that controls the coastal territory began evacuating facilities in anticipation of a tougher Israeli response to almost 24 hours of cross-border tensions.The army returned fire at suspected Hamas outposts after five separate mortar attacks in less than a day. In the most recent attack, a shell fired from Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon exploded inside Israel adjacent to the border fence, near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. No injuries or damage were reported.The IDF said it opened fire at “suspicious positions” in Shejaiya following the shelling.The Wednesday afternoon mortar attacks brought the number of attacks from Gaza in the past 24 hours to six.Reports from the Gaza Strip said that a fire broke out in a Shejaiya power plant after it was struck by an IDF tank shell.According to Palestinian reports, the escalating situation prompted Hamas to evacuate two schools and their headquarters in Gaza City over fears of IDF retaliatory strikes. The IDF, meanwhile, declared the area around Nahal Oz a closed military zone, Channel 10 reported.Earlier Wednesday, mortar shells exploded near Israeli soldiers operating along the southern part of the Israel-Gaza border. Hours later, IDF troops stationed along the northern section of the border reported hearing two loud explosions, which were also believed to be the result of mortar fire.There were no injuries or damage in either incident.Following both attacks, the IDF responded with tank fire at positions inside Shejaiya. One tank shell hit an observation post manned by the military wing of Hamas. No casualties were reported though the outpost was said to be damaged.Tensions began when Israeli soldiers along the Strip’s northern border came under attack Tuesday.Gunfire from across the border struck an IDF vehicle operating nearby. No injuries were reported, but heavy engineering machinery was damaged by the volley, the army said.Palestinian media in Gaza reported intense gunfire from Israeli forces near Kibbutz Nahal Oz immediately afterwards.The flare-up came just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured a southern section of the Israel-Gaza border on Tuesday afternoon.During his tour of the border with Gaza, Netanyahu told troops that the past two years, since the end of Israel’s 2014 war with Hamas, have been the quietest in many.During the 50-day conflict, the Gaza-based terror organization lobbed hundreds of rockets and mortars at Israeli cities and towns. Mortars proved to be one of the deadliest means of attack, claiming the lives of 10 IDF soldiers in a single week, three Israeli civilians and a Thai national.Although the area has been relatively calm since the end of the 2014 fighting, sporadic rocket fire and attacks on IDF patrols have often originated in areas adjacent to the border fence. In recent weeks, tensions along the border have increased, with Israeli officials warning of a possible uptick in violence.There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the recent attacks, although Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri warned Israel not to “test the patience of the Palestinian resistance.”Masri told the Palestinian news agency Ma’an on Wednesday that Israel would “pay a heavy price” for a “flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement.”

Opposition MK denies Netanyahu-Herzog coalition talks-Rejecting PM’s earlier statement, Eitan Cabel says Likud-Zionist Union unity government is not in the works-By Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 9:22 pm
A senior member of the opposition Zionist Union faction on Wednesday denied coalition negotiations with Benjamin Netanyahu, hours after the prime minister confirmed rumors that his Likud party and Zionist Union had been in advanced stages of talks on a new unity government.MK Eitan Cabel, a key Zionist Union organizer who chairs the Knesset Economy Committee, leveled harsh criticism of Netanyahu in an Army Radio interview.“So what if Netanyahu said that, he says a lot of things,” Cabel said. “He has his own interests, and he’ll say whatever comes to mind to strengthen them.”He said a concrete proposal was never submitted to Zionist Union chairman Isaac Herzog.Cabel, who is seen as a possible challenger to Herzog for the leadership of the party, has been adamant in his opposition to a unity coalition with Likud. “We can’t go into a government just because they offered us ministerial positions,” he told the radio last month.Following a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Wednesday, Netanyahu announced that he and Herzog had discussed the possibility of a unity government, but that those discussions ended after it emerged that Herzog was under investigation for campaign finance issues, according to Channel 2.The prime minister added that he could not expand his narrowest of coalitions, which has 61 out of a total of 120 Knesset seats, as “there is one who doesn’t want to (join) and one who can’t,” referring respectively to former foreign minister Avigdor Liberman and Herzog, Channel 2 said.Netanyahu’s announcement comes two weeks after Herzog denied the numerous reports of coalition talks.Last week, the Haaretz daily reported that Herzog and Netanyahu had been holding secret talks for months, and the sides had even swapped draft agreements.The two had expected to reach an agreement by the end of next month and to present a unity government in time for the summer legislative session, according to the paper.Gaps were said to remain between the two sides, including Herzog’s demand that Naftali Bennett’s ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party be removed from the coalition — a demand said to have been rejected by Netanyahu — and disagreement over the shape of the diplomatic process with the Palestinians.On Monday, Channel 10 reported that under a potential unity government agreement the Zionist Union would get seven ministerial portfolios, including foreign for Herzog and economy for former Labor leader Shelly Yachimovich, and a more marginal post for former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, whose Hatnua party forms part of Zionist Union. The coalition guidelines were not to have changed, and the Orthodox-nationalist Jewish Home party would have remained in the coalition.According to the report, more important than the probe into Herzog’s fundraising irregularities in the 2013 Labor primaries, the downfall of the talks was the rejection of the offer by Livni and Yachimovich.When Herzog put the deal to the two of them, Yachimovich said while there were conditions under which she would join the government, these terms were not acceptable. She also said she wanted to be justice minister. Livni, for her part, said she would not accept a marginal ministry.Rumors about a looming unity government have waxed and waned since last year’s elections.
UK councils face court challenge over Israel boycotts-Jewish Human Rights Watch files suit against local municipalities for passing ‘anti-Semitic’ BDS motions-By AP and Times of Israel staff May 4, 2016, 7:17 pm
A Jewish group has launched a lawsuit against British local authorities that called for boycotts of goods from Israeli settlements, claiming the actions are anti-Semitic.Jewish Human Rights Watch — an organization devoted to monitoring efforts to boycott Israel — is asking the High Court to rule against three councils: Leicester in England, and Swansea and Gwynedd in Wales. It claims the authorities have failed to consider “the impact of their actions on the Jewish community.”Leicester and Swansea councils say their resolutions calling for sanctions are nonbinding, apply only to illegal settlements and are not attacks on the State of Israel.Leicester’s motion, passed last November and submitted by council member Mohammed Dawood, called for boycotting products from the West Bank “in so far as it is legal,” citing Israel’s “continuing to ignore and breach international law” and “continuing its occupation” of Palestinian territories.Gwynedd says it backed a trade embargo with Israel in 2014 to condemn “attacks by the Israeli state on the territory of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.”The British NGO War on Want on Wednesday slammed JHRW’s legal proceedings as “shameful,” according to a report in the Independent. “The illegal settlements are a part of the systematic abuses of international law and human rights committed by Israel against the Palestinians,” senior campaigner Ryvka Barnard said.A two-day court hearing in the case began Wednesday.
