ferencz described as the biggest murder trial in human history the defendants were nazi officers and gestapo members who had carried out the murders otto ohlendorf the chief defendant was commander of one of the death squads at age 27 it was mr ferencz s first trial barely over 5 feet tall he stood on a stack of books to deliver the opening statement the moment is captured in video footage in the film in which he said vengeance is not our goal nor do we seek merely a just retribution the case we present is a plea of humanity to law mr ferencz presents evidence as chief prosecutor in the einsatzgruppen trial in 1947 mr ferencz presents evidence as chief prosecutor in the einsatzgruppen trial in 1947 photo us holocaust memorial museum benjamin ferencz all of the men prosecuted by mr ferencz were convicted and many received death sentences mr ohlendorf who had a wife and five children was executed by hanging aside from the fact that he killed 90 000 jews i m sure he was quite a gentleman mr ferencz says in the film reflecting on the man s character after the trial mr ferencz took over the process of recovering the heirless unclaimed assets of murdered jews in the years following the nuremberg prosecutions mr ferencz returned to new york and practiced law eventually becoming partners with mr taylor and taking what he called hopeless cases that had a moral element he could pursue otto ohlendorf center during the einsatzgruppen trial photo bettmann archive getty images mr avrich says when he showed mr ferencz a rough cut of the film mr ferencz broke down crying and told him it s all i need mr ferencz hopes the attention including through the film will help continue the fight for rule of law it took decades to create the international criminal court but he never gave up even when people he trusted told him to stop trying he says he says he seeks a more peaceful world for younger people because their lives are at stake if we are repudiating law as an instrument of policy you re dooming the young people of the forthcoming generation if there is one he says follow this link to see a 2 minute trailer of the documentary posted by steve lieblich at 2

netanyahu hinted at the unfathomabl y friendly atmosphere at the conference iran the greatest regional threat israel has identified iran as its greatest threat once the palestinian issue took center stage now the arab states say that first and foremost the iranian issue needs to be dealt with netanyahu commented four out of five arab foreign ministers who addressed the conference on thursday

explained netanyahu identified the arab representatives mere decision to remain in the room when he spoke breaking from standard protocol in the past of getting up and walking out when an israeli leader speaks represented the breaking of a taboo here you have arab foreign ministers who say that israelis have the right to defend themselves and don t say it in secret but on a stage with 60 other

bank disengagement from besa center perspectives paper no 1 091 18 feb 2019 by gershon hacohen benny gantz photo via wikimedia commons unilateral disengagement from the west bank which israeli pm candidate benny gantz seems to support would have far reaching adverse implications for israel in the security economic social infrastructural and ecological spheres for all his efforts to keep his views on key national issues under wraps so as to make his premiership bid appealing to the largest possible number of israelis former idf chief of staff benny gantz has indicated his readiness to apply the highly controversial unilateral disengagement formula that sharon applied to gaza in 2005 to the west bank as well we need to find a way in which we re not controlling other people gantz told the daily yediot ahronot in his first interview as a pm candidate the unilateral disengagement was a legal move a decision made by the israeli government and carried out by the idf and the settlers in a painful but good manner we need to take the lessons learned and implement them elsewhere leaving aside the ambiguity of these well worn terms e g most of the world views jewish neighborhoods in east jerusalem as settlements while israelis consider them an integral part of israel or the feasibility of evacuating some 140 000 jewish residents from their homes with no palestinian quid pro quo gantz s thinking seems to be predicated on dated suppositions that have long been overtaken by events the political and strategic precepts underlying the oslo peace process which gantz echoes vanished long ago the plo has unequivocally revealed its true colors its total disinterest in peace unyielding rejection of the idea of jewish statehood and incessant propensity for violence and terrorism the us which rose to world preeminence after the disintegration of the soviet union and the east european bloc has largely lost this status over the past decade while russia has recovered much lost ground and regained a firm military and political foothold in the middle east tehran is rapidly emerging as regional hegemon with its tentacles spreading from yemen and iraq to the mediterranean sea and its dogged quest for nuclear weapons continuing apace under the international radar even the terror groups of hezbollah and hamas pose a far greater threat to israel s national security than they did a decade ago under these circumstances israel s withdrawal from the west bank s area c would constitute nothing short of an existential threat nor does israel need to find a way to stop controlling other people as gantz put it for the simple reason that its control of the palestinians ended some two decades ago in may 1994 the idf withdrew from all palestinian population centers in the gaza strip in january 1996 it vacated the west bank s populated areas the oslo accords areas a and b comprising over 90 of the west bank s palestinian residents and handed control of that population to the palestinian authority pa effectively realizing pm rabin s vision of ending israel s control of the palestinians without creating a fully fledged palestinian state this move should have ended the debate about the supposed contradiction between israel s jewish and democratic nature these territories gaza and areas a b are to all intents and purposes independent entities that will never become a part of israel this in turn means that the real dispute between israel and the palestinians as well as within israel itself no longer revolves around the end of occupation but around the future of east jerusalem and area c and since area c which is home to only 100 000 palestinians includes all jewish west bank localities idf bases transportation arteries vital topographic sites and habitable empty spaces between the jordan valley and the jerusalem metropolis its continued retention by israel is a vital national interest why because its surrender to a potentially hostile palestinian state would make the defense of the israeli hinterland virtually impossible and because these highly strategic and sparsely populated lands are of immense economic infrastructural communal ecological and cultural importance not to mention their historical significance as the bedrock of the millenarian jewish ancestral homeland posted by steve lieblich at 9 41 pm no comments

and militaristic images are found in pa textbooks being used in un schools report states a declassified document from the united states government accountability office says that schools in palestinian authority areas run by unwra have an anti israel bias bordering on incitement to violence the report was published in 2018 and made available this week to the public after two congress members called for its release congressman scott perry r pa and congressman lee zeldin r ny requested the full 65 page report of west bank and gaza state monitors textbook content but should improve its reporting to congress gao 18 227c published april 26 2018 the congressmen commented on the report s contents in a press release thursday it is unacceptable that the textbooks that are used delegitimize israel and demonize the jewish people it is unacceptable that this program attempts to engrain this hatred in the hearts of children rep zeldin stated american s hard earned money went towards its funding and it is unacceptable that the state department lied to congress about these very realities schools run by the united nations relief and works agency unrwa have come under heavy criticism for years culminating in the trump administration withdrawing funding from the agency in february the us announced its decision to de fund the palestinian authority via its usaid program the two congressmen called the report damning in one section the report states that more than half of the neutrality bias issues it found were related too one of the following three categories maps jerusalem and cities for example regional maps that exclude israel and refer to israeli cities as palestinian math problems found in textbooks were also found to be problematic and not aligned with un values the report explained a specific math problem using the number of palestinian casualties in the first and second intifadas uprisings was clearly objectionable us officials found material that ignores israeli narratives includes militaristic and adversarial imagery and preaches the values of resistance congressman scott perry said the declassification of this report is a win for government transparency and the american public the unrwa textbook report sheds light on how misreporting from the department of state directly interfered with the ability of the us congress to conduct its constitutionally vested oversight the report was based on an earlier study recently issued by the jerusalem based institute for monitoring peace and cultural tolerance in school education impact se which found that the latest palestinian authority elementary school textbooks are even more radical than previous editions the impact se report was based on examination of elementary school grades one through four and high school grades 11 and 12 of the 2016 2017 pa s educational curriculum the release of this report puts to rest the myth that unrwa is teaching an alternative less radical curriculum to the children in its care impact se ceo marcus sheff said the report clearly states that while unrwa may have created complementary materials in an attempt to cover up some of the hate in the pa curriculum these materials never saw the light of day they were not distributed nor were teachers instructed in their use many of the textbooks reached the hands of us officials through david bedein of the jerusalem based center for near east policy research bedein personally met with yasser arafat the late head of the palestinian authority in 1996 as part of a special delegation and requested the textbooks since then we ve examined every textbook for the past 20 years bedein told the jerusalem post he said school children were being taught to look up to dalal mughrabi a perpetrator of the 1978 coastal road massacre in israel among other concerns unrwa has provided assistance to palestinians in israel and other countries since 1949 the trump administration in august 2018 cut all funding to the agency questioning the organization s fundamental business model of servicing an endlessly and exponentially expanding community of declared palestin...
