British academic union drops call to boycott Israel

"It is regrettable that the union continues to place Israel at the top of their list of international issues without balancing it with a condemnation of those in the Arab world who are not willing to recognize the existence of the State of Israel." (Ronnie Fraser)

"The trade union behind previous attempts to boycott Israeli academia will not call for a boycott at their congress next month.

Though the University and College Union (UCU), the UK's largest trade union for academics, lecturers and researchers, will raise a number of motions critical of Israel, it is the first time since 2003 that an academic trade union will not propose a boycott of Israeli academia.

Last year the UCU was forced to drop its proposed boycott call following a threat by members to take legal action.

This year, several motions, with various degrees of hostility towards Israel, have been submitted by the union's branches for debate at the conference.

One motion calls for the "ending of apartheid and lifting of all barricades in Gaza; recognition of the democratically elected Gaza [Hamas] government; the establishment of free independent Palestine; respect for human rights in Palestine and the stopping of killing of defenseless Gazans." The same motion call for Israel to be tried for "human rights violations." Another motion calls for an arms embargo on Israel, a ban on settlement goods and that "the British government expel the Israeli ambassador."

However, a motion proposed by the union's National Executive Committee (NEC) calling for solidarity with the Palestinians also condemns "the use of rockets against Israeli civilians."

Last year the NEC submitted a motion that revived a call for a boycott of Israeli academia that had been aborted in 2007.

"The absence of a motion on boycotting Israel is undoubtedly a sign of progress," said Jeremy Newmark from Stop the Boycott, a campaign group launched in 2007 to oppose trade union boycott initiatives.

"We also welcome the NEC's more balanced position on Israel, especially as last year the executive itself proposed a boycott.

"However, the draft motions still attack Israel from all directions, this is an 'anything but boycott' document that singles out Israel as the only country for condemnation and sanction. UCU members should reject these motions at their congress," he added.

"Very little has changed apart from the absence of a boycott motion for the first time this decade," said Ronnie Fraser, chair of the Academic Friends of Israel. "The UCU continues to be the most anti-Israel union in Britain with five motions this year condemning Israel's actions in Gaza.

"It is regrettable that the union continues to place Israel at the top of their list of international issues without balancing it with a condemnation of those in the Arab world who are not willing to recognize the existence of the State of Israel."

Fraser said that a boycott motion could still be raised before the conference, as any UCU branch can still propose an amendment motion. He also questioned the motivation behind a motion calling for a campaign against anti-Semitism.

The NEC has also proposed a motion calling for a campaign against anti-Semitism, and for a one-day commemoration on Holocaust Memorial Day each year that "commemorates the different groups targeted by the Nazis and looks at how to campaign against racism and fascism today with other education unions."

Notes Fraser: "The UCU's motives for a campaign against anti-Semitism now are unclear, as one asks how can the UCU, which has previously said that it does not accept the recommendations in the Parliamentary Committee against Anti-Semitism report or the European Monitoring Center on Racism definition of anti-Semitism, now want to campaign against the rise of anti-Semitism.

"It first has to clearly understand and publicly acknowledge that anti-Semitism exists on both the left and the right and is a threat to Anglo Jewry," Fraser said.

The UCU congress will take place May 27-29 in Bournemouth, on the southern coast of England."

Rotterdam: complaint about Tariq Ramadan prayer

"God, strengthen their belief, those who are in Palestine, and let them celebrate their victory over their enemy, your enemy, enemy of the faith."

"Let Islam and the Muslims triumph and let your word triumph everywhere."

Video
"The VVD party (People's Party for Freedom and Democracy) in Rotterdam published a translation of the following clip, in which Tariq Ramadan [also an Oxford University professor] is praying for the Muslims of Palestine.

The VVD demands explanations as to how such prayers affect the context of his job as adviser to the municipality.

(...)

(2:47) God, let your light and appearance descend on their grave. God, strengthen the belief of our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

(3.13) God, strengthen their belief, those who are in Palestine, and let them celebrate their victory over their enemy, your enemy, enemy of the faith.

(3.26) Only with your victory and mercy, you generous God. Allah, strengthen their belief in Palestine, in Chechnya, in Afghanistan, and in Morocco, and in Algeria, and in Tunisia, and in Egypt, and in Sudan, and in Kashmir, and in the whole world and out of the way places, you merciful God.

(4.01) Accept everything of them, and let them stand with both feet on the ground, and give them a place in your paradise, with the chosen believers and with the martyrs.

(4:15) God, strengthen their belief, those who are in prison and who live under torture. They are innocent. God, our enemies, your enemies, and enemies of the faith, let us leave to you.

(4:38) Let Islam and the Muslims triumph and let your word triumph everywhere. (...)"

Swedish journalist looks for Swedish extremist Jews

"Jews and pro-Israelis do not threaten churches and mosques and foreign embassies. They do not riot in the streets and throw stones at the police. Yet our Middle East expert Hilde Henriksen Waage warns the nation about a smear campaign being conducted against Norway, and Håkon Gullvåg hires in more guards to protect his paintings at the exhibition at Trondheim kunstmuseum. And now this Swedish journalist searches for extremist Jews."

Source: article in Norway, Israel and the Jews blog

"Here is an inquiry from a Swedish journalist looking for radicalization among Jews. On the one hand, this inquiry makes perfect sense. This year’s events have repeatedly shown us how anti-Israeli sentiment in the Scandinavian countries tends to blend in with outright anti-Semitism.

For instance, during the Davis-cup demonstrations in Sweden left-wing and right-wing extremists joined ranks with men commemorating the massacre at Khyber.

As for Norway we have Minister of Finance Kristin Halvorsen’s anti-war march on January 8th, when there were cries of "Kill the Jews" from some of the demonstrators. When the Jerusalem Post wrote an article on this issue, the Norwegian media and political elite reacted by denying that such cries were heard, and that the march was a "peaceful and dignified" affair.

This depressing example of Norwegian self-righteousness is unfortunately not unique. So would it be all that strange if someone decided to do a "Mazel" and protest against, say, either some aspect of demonization of Israel or a pure act of anti-Semitism?

On the other hand there is nothing to indicate that Scandinavian Jews are radicalizing. Jews and pro-Israelis do not threaten churches and mosques and foreign embassies. They do not riot in the streets and throw stones at the police. Yet our Middle East expert Hilde Henriksen Waage warns the nation about a smear campaign being conducted against Norway, and Håkon Gullvåg hires in more guards to protect his paintings at the exhibition at Trondheim kunstmuseum. And now this Swedish journalist searches for extremist Jews.

One thing is for certain, if any Jewish extremism should surface it would come as a huge relief to Nordic politicians and media alike. Let us pray they are not given this satisfaction."

Dear Peace-worker, [!!!]

My name is Eva Renstrom and I'm working as a journalist at the Swedish Television; the public service company in Sweden, with a program called Existens; Existence. It's a secular program about religion and society,and our assignment is to describe what happens when these two meets and collides.
Now we are planning to do a program about the escalated Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and what happens with the manifestation of the religions; Islam and Judaism, in the current situation.
Our focus will be Islam, but we intend to discuss growing radicalism and intolerance among the Jewish population as well. Here in Sweden, we see moderate movements in this direction. But since everything in Sweden is more or less moderate in comparison, we suspect that the effect is enhanced in the rest of Europe as well as in the Middle East. We want to know more about the risk of increased radicalism and extremism, about where this situation can take us. We want to know more about if and how the religious manifestation will change.
Now I'm looking for someone to talk to; who can analyze the situation, especially when it comes to the situation among Jews. I've read about you on the web site, and I thought that you maybe can help me! I´m grateful for your help!

Best wishes, and a nice weekend to you!

Anti-Israel campaigning by Dutch Christian NGO and Oxfam

"The Web site omits any of the barrier's security benefits, and focuses solely on the human suffering it has caused by separating some Palestinian families and dividing their communities and businesses."

List of "barriers" here, but only one gets European NGOs' attention

"The security barrier between Israel and the West Bank is getting a commercial face-lift. A venture by a Dutch organization allows Internet users around the world to get their personal message on the Palestinian side of the barrier, part of which is a concrete gray wall, for €30 per missive.

The maximum 80-character messages, which are sent over the Web and then spray-painted on the wall by a Ramallah-based Palestinian group, are then digitally photographed, with three copies of their missives on the wall sent back to clients via e-mail.

Both humorous and serious messages are acceptable, while obscene, offensive and extremists texts will be rejected, the organizers say.

Some of the messages shown at www.sendamessage.nl are blatantly political while others are surprisingly romantic.

"Elisabeth and Jakob - Forever in my heart - Anna," one message pictured on the Web site reads.

Others are unequivocal.

"Take down that wall," reads one message spray-painted in red capital letters.

The initiators of the Dutch-Palestinian venture say that the goal is to encourage Palestinians living in the West Bank.

"Your message on the wall reminds Palestinians that they have not been forgotten. It helps them keeping [sic] hope alive. That's the message you are sending to them, whatever the words are," the site says.

"Our aim is to make sure there is another method of communication aside from throwing rocks," said Ben Melis, a director of the Dutch organization which initiated the project. "We have no illusion that what we are doing will make the wall go away or change things, but we want to address the issue to raise awareness."

He said that more than 800 people from around the world had sent a message via the Web site since it was launched a year and a half ago.

A Defense Ministry spokeswoman said Wednesday that the office was "unaware" of the international spray-paint venture.

The Web site omits any of the barrier's security benefits, and focuses solely on the human suffering it has caused by separating some Palestinian families and dividing their communities and businesses.

Potential customers are told that there is no danger for Palestinians in spray-painting on the wall in the West Bank, noting that the territory is "a lot more stable than in far away Gaza."

"'Our' Palestinians will never risk their lives to get your message on the wall," the Web site states.

The initiative, which was started by a group of Dutch advertisers during a visit to Ramallah, is supported by the Dutch NGO ICCO [Interchurch Organization for Development Co-operation] as well as Oxfam.

Organizers say that the revenue is intended to support grassroots social and cultural projects in the West Bank via accredited Palestinian NGOs, and that the money does not go to buy weapons for the Palestinians."

European Coalition for Israel director calls for broad coalition against anti-Semitism

"As faith leaders we have a duty to be "our brothers’ keeper" and cannot keep silent when Jews are again threatened on the streets of Europe." (Tomas Sandell)

"These conspiracy theories of Jews taking over the world have been presented many times before in European history but are now resurfacing with new intensity on the internet and in other media." (Ioannis Dimitrakopoulos)

"ECI director Tomas Sandell called for "a broad coalition of faith leaders for fighting the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe" when he spoke at a one-day conference in the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.

"The enemies of Israel and the Jewish people are plotting together like never before. This is our opportunity to find new partnerships for defending our European values and supporting the Jewish people", he said in a panel discussion together with, among others, Archbishop Philippe Barbarin of Lyon, Chief Rabbi of Poland Michael Schrudrich and Imam Hassen Chalghoumi of Drancy in Paris.

"As faith leaders we have a duty to be "our brothers’ keeper" and cannot keep silent when Jews are again threatened on the streets of Europe", he said in his speech. He also called upon the European Union, as well as civil society organizations, to withdraw from the planned UN World Conference on Racism in Geneva in order not to legitimize those powers who want to demonize Israel and wipe out the Jewish state from the world map. In the draft resolution, which is being prepared for the UN conference by a working group consisting of, among others, Libya, Cuba and Iran, only one state is singled out as a "racist state", namely Israel.

"This is unacceptable", said vice-president Jacques Barrot of the European Commission who promised to personally follow the developments leading up to the UN conference starting on April 20 in order to blow the whistle if the final resolution text is not compatible with EU values as they are codified in the Charter for Fundamental Rights but Sandell objected.

"There is no need to wait," he said. "The draft text is known to everyone and now is the right time to withdraw, not later".

The one day conference "Building Together the Future of Europe - The fight against anti-Semitism, defending European values and co-existence" was initiated by the European Jewish Congress and organized under the patronage of the European Parliament president Hans-Gert Pöttering. In presentations both from Head of Unit Ioannis Dimitrakopoulos from the European Union Fundamental Rights Agency and Jewish representatives from various countries the message was same; the level of anti-Semitic violence has now reached its highest level since the end of the Second World War and the month of February has been the most violently anti-Semitic in Europe during this whole period.

"It is both the high number of anti-Semitic incidents as well as the intensity of these incidents which gives us causes for concerns", admitted Dimitrakopolus. "It is not only the military operation in Gaza which has contributed to this rise of anti-Semitism but also the current financial crisis where the Jews are openly accused for being behind the financial meltdown."

"These conspiracy theories of Jews taking over the world have been presented many times before in European history but are now resurfacing with new intensity on the internet and in other media," he warned.

Several speakers noted how the criticism of Israel has become radicalized. The last few weeks banners of terrorist organizations, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, have been openly displayed in marches where many mainstream political leaders have also taken part. Both terrorist organizations call for the dismantling of the Jewish state.

Though there were few reasons to be optimistic in the present climate the chairman of the Finnish Jewish Community Ronny Smolar presented one.

"In the Nordic countries the small Jewish communities have been living in relative peace up till now. Now many feel that they are being personally blamed and targeted because of the events in Gaza. Many feel insecure."

"But the situation is not out of hand. When Jews in the Nordic countries have been targeted in street demonstrations our Christian friends have come to our help", he said.

Several national leaders of Jewish communities called upon the ECI to come alongside to help stand against the new threats.

"This is perfectly in line with what the ECI wants to accomplish", replied Sandell. He recalled that in a similar conference at the European Commission in Brussels in 2004 Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel spoke about the lack of support from other groups than the Jewish organizations. "Where are all the others", he asked.

"We want to be that coalition of "all the others", concluded Sandell. " This is the time to stand together as one to prevent history from repeating itself."

European Parliament conference vows to fight anti-Semitism

"Some EU parliamentarians hide behind 'Muslim pressure' instead of working toward eradicating anti-Semitism." (Paulo Casaca, Portuguese MEP, European Socialists Party)

"The mother of Ilan Halimi*, a 23-year-old French Jew murdered in a brutal attack in 2006, told a conference on anti-Semitism held at the European Parliament on Monday about the importance of fighting anti-Semitism so that her son would not become a "detail of history."

Speaking in the same chamber in which the far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen said that the Third Reich's gas chambers were "a detail of history," Ruth Halimi gave an emotional account on how her son was tortured for three weeks and then killed by a gang of Muslim immigrants in a Parisian suburb in February 2006.

Halimi's poignant words were heard by members of the Parliament, diplomats, religious and communal leaders from around the continent taking part in the one-day conference organized by the European Jewish Congress, under the patronage of the Czech presidency of the European Union and Hans-Gert Pottering, president of the European Parliament.

Titled "Building Together the Future of Europe: The fight against anti-Semitism, defending European values and coexistence," the conference aimed to look at how to face the challenges posed by anti-Semitism and intolerance, and promote coexistence.

The conference called on the European Parliament to take immediate steps to combat racism and the current rise in anti-Semitism across Europe in the aftermath of Operation Cast Lead.
Opening the conference, Dr. Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, said Europe faced three dangers - the current economic crisis; Iran's nuclear ambitions and sponsorship of international terrorism; and the "crisis of tolerance."

"As usual, history teaches us that it does not teach anything. Europe again does not see that everything starts with Jews," he said. Kantor said that in France, Germany and Britain in January 2009 there were more anti-Semitic incidents than in all of 2008. "Europe did not demonstrate any significant reaction to this," he said.

"Today anti-Semitism has been amplified through the recent war in Gaza, through the economic and financial crisis and through societies and governments that are in search of a perfect scapegoat.

"This phenomenon is not only affecting Jews. In fact, economic and financial crisis is dangerous because it seeks out several scapegoats, creating xenophobia and racism on a larger scale, targeting and attacking minorities and foreigners.

"That is why we are here today; to create awareness of and to confront anti-Semitism in all its forms: traditional, modern, structural and contextual," Kantor said.

Jacques Barrot, vice president of the European Commission, said anti-Semitism remained a curse. "We have to mobilize in order to state our principles loud and clear. It is true that the economic crisis might make the problem more acute," he said. In reference to the UN conference on racism to be held in Switzerland, known as Durban II, Barrot said: "The EU should closely monitor the events at Durban and react immediately if there is any diversion from the agreed upon line."

He continued: "If necessary we will call on the EU member states to withdraw from the conference if we see violations of core European values in Geneva."

"We strongly insist and recommend to all the European countries to consider Durban II as a challenge to the coexistence in Europe," Kantor said.

Ioannis Dimitrakopoulos, head of the Research and Data Collection at the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, showed how anti-Semitic incidents in Europe were on the rise. He warned also said there was serious under-reporting in official data collection systems of most member states, based on police records, and showed there were flaws in the reporting of anti-Semitism in Europe. "Not all anti-Semitic incidents are categorized as such and not all anti-Semitic incidents are reported by victims," he said.

Mike Whine, director of international affairs at Britain's Community Security Trust, said reliable statistics were very rare and that countries lacked the capacity to record anti-Semitism at scientific levels. He said he thought anti-Semitic incidents were rising and remained at a high level.

Several MEPs spoke of the need to combat anti-Semitism working with the European Parliament.

Silvana Koch-Mehrin, a German MEP, said anti-Semitism was still very much alive, using anti-Zionism themes to transport ideas. "Denial of Israel's right to exist has become fashionable - this is modern anti-Semitism. This is why it would be more important that the European Parliament in its statement becomes very clear about anti-Semitism," Koch-Mehrin said.

"Some EU parliamentarians hide behind 'Muslim pressure' instead of working toward eradicating anti-Semitism," said Paulo Casaca, a Portuguese MEP from the Party of European Socialists.

Other parliamentarians said that failure to recognize the right of Israel to defend itself was indicative of anti-Semitism, as this was a basic right of every nation.

Jan Marinus Wiersma, a Dutch MEP and vice president of the Party of European Socialists group, condemned the decision to allow Le Pen to address the Parliament.

Representatives of Jewish communities across Europe presented reports about the situation in their countries.

Rony Smolar, president of the Finnish Jewish community and representative of Scandinavian countries, said that things have got worse since the 2006 Lebanon war, which he said brought left-wingers and neo-Nazis together, and that there had been a sharp rise in anti-Semitism, simultaneous with Holocaust denial and the accusation that Jews dominated global finance.

The director-general of the the French Jewish community's security services, said that in 2008 there had been 474 acts of anti-Semitic incidents, and a call for violence against the "Zionists" of France, which he said was new language. He said there has been a rise in France of support for "armed resistance," with Hizbullah flags on display everywhere.

The conference also heard from leaders of other faiths and communities who described what needed to be done to combat intolerance, racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism. Mohammed Sifaoui, a French/Algerian journalist who claimed that he managed to infiltrate al-Qaida, said extremism was a real threat today in Europe. "We democrats need to take ownership of these issues. If we were to safeguard something, we need to fight for our existence, against the evils of hatred," he said.

Closing the conference, Kantor vowed to continue the fight against anti-Semitism. "Human diversity is our treasure and should not be a source of conflict," he declared."

Norway: Muhammed Ali Chisti explains why he hates Jews

"It is a fact that during the attacks on the Twin Towers [World Trade Center] 1600 Jews were absent from work. OK, OK, what’s even more suspicious, is how unusually many Jews there were present in Mumbai on the day that Pakistani terrorists struck. How come?" (Muhammed Ali Chisti)

Source: Rabid anti-semite fights uphill battle?, Norway, Israel and the Jews blog

"On March 22nd the House of Literature in Oslo arranged a dialogue meeting about hatred, inviting among others spokesmen from the Jewish, Muslim and gay communities. One of the speakers was Muhammed Ali Chisti, whose speech was titled "Why I hate Jews". Here are some titbits from his speech:

"…I hate Jews, and how they operate and I will furthermore elaborate on why I hold such beliefs… It is raised beyond doubt that Jews are in a minority in the world. A very small minority, yet it cannot be disguised that they are among the most powerful. It is NOT wrong to be powerful, but to abuse ones power, to use illegal means, to use unnecessary military power against civilians, and to behave in a arrogant and barbaric manner is in violation of international law and the human rights. It is a fact that during the attacks on the Twin Towers [World Trade Center] 1600 Jews were absent from work. OK, OK, what’s even more suspicious, is how unusually many Jews there were present in Mumbai on the day that Pakistani terrorists struck. How come?"

Chisti failed to establish a successful rapport with the audience, which on several occasions interrupted him with loud and heartfelt expressions of disgust. After Chisti’s speech a young Jewish boy stood up and stated that it was bad enough that the synagogue, Jewish retirement home and Jewish kindergarten are under such threats that they are continually policed, and that Chisti’s statements scared him. Both the Norwegian crown prince - Håkon Magnus, and the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs - Jonas Gahr Støre, stated that Chisti’s statements were both saddening and loathsome.

Only days later, Chisti countered his critics with a letter to Aftenposten, a large Norwegian daily, stating:

"What I said weren’t my personal beliefs, there were more than 200 people who were shouting the same during the demonstrations. Isn’t it better that I stand up and speak for them rather then that they turn to violence ? Why aren’t they allowed to speak out in the newspapers ? After all we live in a liberal society, where the freedom of expression is highly valued. It is not correct to claim that everyone booed me. On the balconies there was a lot of support for me. Unfortunately this has not been reflected in the newspapers. I cried after it was all over. Why ? Who defended my right to express myself?"

It is unknown whether Chisti has any supporters, and how many there might be of them. He is right about the claims that there were more than one person who was chanting "Death to Jews" during the riots in Olso between the 8th and 10th of January this year. His claim about "support on the balconies" during the debate in the House of Litterature has yet to be confirmed. As a spokesman for unrestrained anti-semitism Chisti appears to stand alone. But the fact that the Jewish synagogue has been attacked and is under continuous police guard is beyond doubt.

Another speaker at the hatred-debate at the House of Literature was British Ed Husein, who has written the book "The Islamist". Husein began his speech by criticizing the fact that the extremist islamist Chisti had been given the opportunity to speak at all. VG, the largest Norwegian daily, commented upon the event at the House of Literature under the heading: "Jew-criticism must be permitted". The public opinion is divided: should extremists be allowed to speak or not?

Below you find a film clip of the sort which Chisti would find inspiring. Ibrahim Mudayris speaks on the official tv-station of the Palestinian Authority on September 10th, 2004. Please bear in mind that Norway supports the PA and thus indirectly finances PA television. The Palestinian Media Watch has confronted Norway with this fact, but our foreign minister Jonas Gahr Støre has not taken the message to heart."
