Hungary: New Border Regime Threatens Asylum Seekers
Thousands of asylum seekers and migrants have been trapped in Serbia as a result of the de facto closure of the Hungarian border since September 15, 2015, when a new border regime came into force and a border fence was completed. Riot police repulsed people trying to cross a closed border point with water cannons and teargas. Half of 98 asylum applications received at the Serbian border on September 15, as the new system was put into operation, were rejected by the end of September 16. At least 46 people who have tried to enter from Serbia irregularly since September 15 have been arrested and prosecuted for irregular entry.

Pioneer Jewish South African freedom fighter calls Israel ’apartheid state’
Denis Goldberg, aided by Israel in 1985 release from S.A. prison, says even Israel’s treatment of Arab citizens counts as apartheid.

Veteran Jewish anti-apartheid activist Denis Goldberg, whose release after two decades in a South African prison was aided by Israel, and who then lived briefly in the Jewish state before leaving in protest, told a Johannesburg gathering that Israel is an apartheid state, the Middle East Monitor reported on Tuesday.
Noting that critics of this view protest that Palestinian citizens of Israel, unlike blacks in apartheid South Africa, vote and serve in their country’s parliament, Goldberg said, “You don’t need to be like South Africa to be an apartheid state, there is a definition in international law through the UNESCO declaration on apartheid,” he said.
Apartheid exists, he said, in states that enforce laws and policies that discriminate between people on the basis of race or religion, and this holds true in Israel proper as well as in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. He was one of a panel of anti-apartheid activists discussing the lessons that struggle holds for the Palestinian cause.
Goldberg, 82, one of the original members of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress, was sentenced with Nelson Mandela and other activists to life in prison in the 1964 Rivonia treason trial. He was released in 1985 with Israel’s intercession, then went to live on a kibbutz, but moved to London months later, denouncing Israel’s war in Lebanon, its occupation of the Palestinian territories, and its close ties with South Africa.
“There is no doubt in my mind that Israel is an apartheid state,” Goldberg told the gathering. “Having lived through apartheid in South Africa, I cannot allow in my name the same kind of oppression to go on.”
He added, “I have to be an opponent of the exclusionist policies of Zionism, but let me say straight away that I have to be opposed to the exclusionary policies of the feudal Arab states of the Middle East as well.”
Brazilian university seeks to list Israelis on campus, at behest of pro-Palestinian groups - World - - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News
►http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/.premium-1.659860
The deputy dean of a Brazilian university asked faculty to provide a list of Israelis working or studying on campus, acting at the request of pro-Palestinian groups.
Jose Fernando Schlosser, deputy dean of the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil’s south posted a memorandum on May 15 requesting "urgent dispatch of information on the possible presence of Israeli students or teachers” in post-graduate programs, the online edition of the O Globo daily reported Wednesday.
The memorandum explains the request came from several groups, including the Santa Maria Committee of Solidarity with Palestinian People. According to the university, the request is based on Brazil’s 2012 law on freedom of information, which orders public institutions to provide information to interested citizens.
Reproduction of the memorandum that surfaced on social media and carried the text “Freedom for Palestine, Boycott Israel” were forgeries of the original, which did not contain that text, the university said in a statement to local media. The university said it would file its own complaint for forgery.
Parties offended by the memorandum filed a criminal complaint against Schlosser for allegedly inciting discrimination on race, color, ethnicity, religion or national affiliation, O Globo reported. But in a statement to media, the university’s dean, Paulo Afonso Burmann, insisted that the memorandum, which he said was issued at the request last year of five groups, was “in compliance with the law on freedom of information.”
CONIB, the umbrella group of Brazil’s Jewish communities, rejected the university’s explanations and said in a statement that it “received the university’s actions with repudiation.”
Schlosser’s memorandum “was a clearly discriminatory measure, done by a high-ranking official in the federal education system, and it should be dealt with the severity it merits,” CONIB President Fernando Lottenberg wrote in a statement posted Thursday on CONIB’s website.

Sudan army says it toppled Israeli drone that infiltrated its air space - World - Israel News | Haaretz
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.655174
The Sudanese army said Wednesday morning that it had toppled an Israeli drone that infiltrated its air space, hours after Arab media reported that a weapons facility near the area of Omdurman had come under missile attack.
Sudanese Armed Forces spokesman Colonel Al-Sawarmi Khalid Sa’ad said that the military toppled a UAV that infiltrated its air space from the east, calling it an Israeli drone carrying two missiles, according to the army’s official news agency.
Sa’ad denied reports of a strike, saying the rumors were meant to hurt the Sudanese people’s morale.
The spokesman said that the drone entered the air space from the direction of the Red Sea and that the Sudanese authorities were investigating the incident.
The Yemen Today website suggested immediately after the alleged missile strike was reported that Israel was behind the attack. The Sudan Tribune, on Twitter, cited eyewitnesses as saying they saw flames in the sky, and that their house, a few miles away from the blast site, shook from the impact.
In 2012, Sudan accused Israel of carrying out an air strike on an arms factory in Khartoum.
According to foreign reports, Israeli airstrikes targeted a number of Gaza-bound weapons convoys and Hamas smuggling operatives within Sudan in recent years. Sudan has cast blame on Israel following some of these incidents. Israel hasn’t officially responded.

In the wake of Saturday’s earthquake in Nepal, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein’s approval of a plan permitting surrogate mothers in Nepal who are carrying the fetuses of Israeli parents to enter Israel is a reflection of the ethical and legal complications involved in international surrogacy.
The surrogate mothers in Nepal carrying Israeli fetuses, who are Indian citizens, will be required to appear before the local Israeli consular official, and to state that they are seeking to come to Israel of their own free will. The consul will advise the women of the risks involved in flying while pregnant, and will verify that no undue influence has been exerted on the women to get them to travel to Israel in advance of delivering the babies that they are carrying.
Anti-austerity party’s Greek election win is a worry for EU, and maybe Israel
The change of government in Greece is expected to affect its relations with Israel, which had improved beyond recognition in recent years.
By Arye Mekel | Jan. 27, 2015 | Haaretz
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/.premium-1.639180
Greece’s far-left Syriza party achieved a wider margin of victory than predicted by opinion polls leading up to Sunday’s election. The self-proclaimed radical left-wing coalition Syriza received 149 of the Greek parliament’s 300 seats (with 36.3 percent of the vote). That includes the 50-member bonus given to the winning party to guarantee governmental stability.
Although Syriza did not achieve the 151 seats needed in order to govern alone, it wasted no time forming a government after agreeing a deal with the centre-right Independent Greeks.
Outgoing Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ New Democracy only managed 27.8 percent of the votes, for 76 MPs.
The battle for third place ended in a tie between To Potami – a new centrist party headed by journalist and television personality Stavros Theodorakis – and the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party. Each has 17 MPs.
This is a great accomplishment for both parties, for different reasons. For To Potami, it is because this was its first election. For Golden Dawn, it’s because the party chairman and several of its MPs have been in jail for almost a year, and the party campaigned. Once again, it is clear that Greece’s neo-Nazi party has taken root.
The Communist Party came in fifth, with 15 seats, while PASOK, the socialist party that ruled for many years, reached only joint sixth place, with 13 MPs, along with the Independent Greeks.
Syriza’s victory is expected to shake European financial markets and rattle the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, which have already pumped more than 300 billion euros into Greece, in the hope of stemming the worst financial crisis in the nation’s history.
Syriza is demanding the repeal of the austerity programs and reforms imposed on Greece. It wants to raise the minimum wage, restore the “13th-month salary” bonus to many sectors of the economy, issue food and electricity vouchers to the poor, and introduce free medical care, among other things. It is not clear where the funding for all this would come from.
Syriza announced before the election that it would initiate talks with the EU over abolishing the austerity and reform agreements, and would draw up a new, more lenient economic recovery program before the summer. Germany and its EU partners insist that Greece must continue to meet its commitments.
New Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, 40, has no prior administrative experience. He is a charismatic leader who knows almost no English and usually goes without a necktie and socks in summer [he turned up at the swearing-in ceremony on Monday without a tie – he’s said he won’t wear one until Greece lands a debt reduction deal].
The change of government is also expected to affect Greece’s relations with Israel, which have improved beyond recognition in the past few years.
While Syriza is not a monolithic bloc, some of its members have been involved in organizing anti-Israel protests, including during last summer’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip. At least one senior MP – Theodoris Dritsas, a possible candidate for defense minister – joined one of the anti-blockade flotillas to the Gaza Strip.
It won’t happen right away, but Greece’s current close relationship with Israel, including on defense, could certainly be compromised.
Tsipras has had only one significant meeting with Israeli leaders, meeting with then-President Shimon Peres in Athens. I introduced Peres to Tsipras, who had just become head of the opposition. The meeting was very good and Tsipras, who is 50 years Peres’ junior, listened to him like a pupil before his teacher, and avoided criticism of Israel. I later met other Syriza members, who said that while they were critical of Israel, they were firmly opposed to anti-Semitism.

U.S. Arabs, Muslims concerned ’American Sniper’ provokes violent threats, hateful language
The film is a box office hit and has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture.
By Mark Guarino Jan. 26, 2015 | Haaretz
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.638814
REUTERS - An Arab-American civil rights organization has asked “American Sniper” director Clint Eastwood and actor Bradley Cooper to denounce hateful language directed at U.S. Arabs and Muslims after the release of the film about a Navy marksman.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said in a letter to Eastwood and Cooper that its members had become targets of “violent threats” since early last week, before “American Sniper” went into general release. The letter said Eastwood and Cooper, the film’s producer and star, could bolster the ADC’s message of tolerance.
“It is our opinion that you could play a significant role in assisting us in alleviating the danger we are facing,” said the letter, dated Jan. 21. Reuters was provided a copy on Saturday.
The film is a box office hit and has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture.
The ADC said it was working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and police to assess the threats.
The film tells the story of Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL sniper. His 160 kills in Iraq is considered the highest count in U.S. military history. Some critics have said the film glorifies war and sanitizes Kyle, who called Muslims “savages” in his memoir.
Kyle was killed by a disgruntled U.S. veteran at a Texas gun range in 2013.
ADC President Samer Khalaf said on Saturday that it did not make sense to call for a boycott given the film’s box office success.
“If we boycott it, it will only cause people to want to see it more,” he said.
The Washington-based ADC asked Arabs and Muslims to send them copies of threatening messages they had received. More than 100 have been collected, all from social media.
“Nice to see a movie where the Arabs are portrayed for who they really are - vermin scum intent on destroying us,” said one Twitter post collected by the ADC.
Jack Horner, a spokesman for Warner Bros., the studio releasing the film, said in a statement that the company, a unit of Time Warner Co, “denounces any violent, anti-Muslim rhetoric, including that which has been attributed to viewers” of the film.
He added, “Hate and bigotry have no place in the important dialogue that this picture has generated about the veteran experience.”
Spokesmen for Eastwood and Cooper had no immediate response to requests for comment.
ARGENTINE • Attentat de l’Amia : mort du procureur qui en savait trop | Courrier international / 19 janvier 2015
▻http://www.courrierinternational.com/article/2015/01/19/attentat-de-l-amia-mort-du-procureur-qui-en-savait-trop
Sa famille n’arrivait pas à le joindre. Sa mère est allée le chercher chez lui, dans le quartier huppé de Puerto Madero, mais a été contrainte d’appeler un serrurier car son fils, le procureur Natalio Alberto Nisman, 51 ans, ne répondait pas. Il l’a retrouvé mort dans la baignoire, rapporte le quotidien La Nación, une balle dans la tête et, à ses côtés, un pistolet calibre 22 qui, apparemment, lui appartenait. Sur le bureau du procureur, les documents qu’il allait présenter le 19 janvier devant la commission de législation pénale de la Chambre des députés.
Nisman était chargé de l’enquête sur l’attentat de 1994 qui avait fait 85 morts dans l’Association mutuelle israélo-argentine (Amia), un crime dont on ne connaît toujours pas les responsables, vingt ans plus tard. Le 14 janvier, le procureur avait dénoncé la création par la présidente argentine Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, ainsi que par plusieurs proches du gouvernement (comme le ministre des Affaires étrangères), d’un plan qui visait à couvrir l’Iran pour l’attentat et « fabriquer l’innocence » d’ex-fonctionnaires iraniens en lien avec l’attaque. Quelques jours avant, il avait déclaré au journal Clarín qu’il craignait de trouver la mort dans cette affaire.
La demande de Nisman incluait la saisie préventive de biens appartenant aux accusés, d’une valeur de 200 millions de pesos (entre 16 et 20 millions d’euros, au vu du taux de change fluctuant). Dans sa dénonciation de 300 pages figurent des écoutes téléphoniques qui révèlent les conversations de la présidente de l’Argentine avec ses proches au sujet du plan. D’après Nisman, Cristina Kirchner aurait négocié la levée de ces accusations contre l’achat de pétrole à Téhéran à un prix avantageux.

L’Argentine soupçonne d’ex-agents de la mort du procureur Nisman

▻https://fr.news.yahoo.com/largentine-soup%C3%A7onne-dex-agents-la-mort-du-procureur-181639081.h
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Les autorités argentines soupçonnent d’anciens agents des services de renseignement d’être responsables de la mort du procureur Alberto Nisman, qui enquêtait sur l’attentat contre un centre communautaire juif en 1994 à Buenos Aires.
Les accusations lancées par le procureur à l’encontre de la présidente Cristina Fernandez tout comme son décès peu de temps après sont liés à une lutte de pouvoir au sein des services de renseignement argentins et à des agents récemment licenciés, a déclaré le gouvernement.
« Ils avaient besoin de lui vivant pour présenter les accusations contre la présidente. Puis, indubitablement, sa mort est devenue utile », a déclaré vendredi le secrétaire général de la présidence, Anibal Fernandez.
(...)
Le chef des services de renseignement argentins a été remplacé en décembre, ce qui a abouti au limogeage d’agents qui participaient à l’enquête du procureur Nisman. Or ce dernier a accusé les agents d’un autre groupe au sein de l’appareil de renseignement d’avoir pris part à l’opération présumée visant à innocenter des suspects iraniens.
L’un des agents remerciés en décembre, Antonio Stiusso, est accusé par le gouvernement d’avoir menti au procureur en le mettant en contact avec deux hommes qu’il lui a présentés à tort comme étant des agents des services de renseignement. Les accusations du procureur Nisman contre Cristina Fernandez reposaient en grande partie sur des écoutes effectuées par ces deux hommes.

Times of Israel Staff 25 janvier 2015
Damian Pachter, journaliste pour le Buenos Aires Herald en anglais, a quitté le pays samedi, affirme le groupe de presse local Foro de Periodismo Argentino.
Haaretz a rapporté dimanche que Pachter est en route vers Israël, où il « envisage de se réfugier », et qu’il est attendu à Tel Aviv dimanche soir.
Selon Haaretz, Pachter est juif et détient la citoyenneté israélienne. Il aurait confié à un site Internet local : « Je suis parti parce que ma vie était en danger. Mes téléphones étaient surveillés. J’ai l’intention de retourner en Argentine quand mes sources m’informeront que les conditions ont changé. Je ne pense pas que cela arrivera sous le mandat du gouvernement actuel. »
Selon le groupe de presse de Buenos Aires, Pachter a rapporté vendredi qu’il était suivi par des inconnus et qu’il estime que sa sécurité est en danger, mais n’a pas détaillé.
Dans une déclaration, l’employeur de Pachter affirme que le journaliste n’a pas exprimé ses préoccupations au journal, qui se dit prêt à l’aider de quelque manière que ce soit.
Dans l’intervalle, les autorités ont rapporté que Diego Lagomarsino, un expert en informatique qui affirme avoir apporté au procureur Alberto Nisman un pistolet samedi soir à sa demande, a été interdit de quitter l’Argentine.
Lagomarsino, qui a parlé aux autorités peu de temps après la mort de Nisman, a affirmé avoir remis un pistolet de calibre 22 à Nisman, demandé par le procureur pour sa protection.

By Damian Pachter | Jan. 25, 2015 | 6:15 PM
So here they are, the craziest 48 hours of my life.
When my source gave me the scoop on Alberto Nisman’s death, I was writing a piece on the special prosecutor’s accusations against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, her (Jewish) Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, two pro-Iran “social activists” and parliamentarian Andrés Larroque. I learned that Nisman had been shot dead in his home.
The vetting process wasn’t too tough because of my source’s incredible attention to detail. His name will never be revealed.
Two things stood in my mind: my source’s safety and people’s right to know what happened that day, though not necessarily in that order.
Of course, for both speed and the contagion effect, Twitter was the way to go. The information was so solid I never doubted my source, despite my one or two colleagues who doubted me because I only had 420 Twitter followers — a number now eclipsing 10,000.
As the night went on, journalists contacted me in order to get the news from me even more directly. The first to do so was Gabriel Bracesco.
Once I tweeted that Nisman had died, hundreds of people quickly retweeted the news and started following me. That was my first of many sleepless days.
“You just broke the best story in decades,” lots of people said. “You’re crazy,” was another take. Either way, nobody questioned that the situation was very grave.
The following days were marked by a government trying to create an official story. First, the head of state suggested a “suicide hypothesis,” then a mysterious murder. They of course were not to blame. In anything.(...)
Argentine : Kirchner réforme les services secrets après la mort d’un procureur
Par Alexandre PEYRILLE | AFP | 27 janvier 2015

La présidente argentine Cristina Kirchner a annoncé une profonde réforme des services de renseignement, dont elle dénonce le rôle dans la mort du procureur Alberto Nisman, alors que l’enquête piétine.
Lors d’une intervention télévisée, elle a annoncé la dissolution du SI, le principal service de renseignement d’Argentine, et son remplacement par l’Agence fédérale du renseignement.
Accusée mi-janvier par le procureur disparu dans de mystérieuses circonstances d’avoir entravé l’enquête sur l’attentat de la mutuelle juive AMIA (85 morts en 1994), Mme Kirchner s’exprimait pour la première fois à la télévision depuis le début de l’affaire Nisman, qui a causé un grand émoi en Argentine.
Pour de nombreux Argentins et l’opposition, le gouvernement est derrière la mort du procureur, le 18 janvier, éliminé selon eux par peur des révélations qu’il devait faire au Congrès, le lendemain.
« La dissolution du SI est une dette de la démocratie et je dois m’attacher à cette réforme. Nous avons assisté à une sorte de manège permanent de procureurs, de juges, de médias, qui a été mis à nu et qu’il faut couper à la racine », a déclaré Mme Kirchner, vêtue de blanc, assise dans un fauteuil roulant, en raison d’une fracture à une jambe.
"Un nuevo enfoque de la Inteligencia”
Martes, 27 de enero de 2015
▻http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-264849-2015-01-27.html
El jefe de Gabinete, Jorge Capitanich, señaló que el proyecto para la creación de la nueva Agencia Federal de Inteligencia, anunciada ayer por la presidenta Cristina Kirchner, significa un «avance cualitativo» en la materia, adelantó que su aprobación requerirá de una «mayoría simple» del Congreso, y puntualizó que la designación del director y subdirector de ese organismo tendrá una vigencia de cuatro años.
La medida representa un “nuevo enfoque desde el punto de vista de la Inteligencia”, puntualizó el funcionario durante su habitual conferencia en Casa de Gobierno y anticipó que «los procesos de selección de su personal» para esa nueva agencia será «conforme al perfil que adquirirá» esa dependencia.
Además, remarcó que la decisión de trasferir el área de escuchas telefónicas a la Procuración General de la Nación «terminará con las especulaciones del uso de estos mecanismos», que utilizaban los servicios de inteligencia. Es «una decisión política y estratégica de que las escuchas correspondan a un órgano extrapoder, como es la Procuración», indicó.
Por otra parte, consideró que «no corresponde» la convocatoria al Congreso del secretario de Seguridad, Sergio Berni, por parte de la oposición, para que explique los protocolos que se aplicaron en el caso de la muerte del fiscal Alberto Nisman, porque «no tiene ningún tipo de asidero ni sentido».
Asimismo, advirtió a los sectores de la oposición que «no hay que generar una intromisión indebida o un debate paralelo que no tenga ningún tipo de vinculación con el esclarecimiento de la causa» abierta por la muerte del fiscal que investigaba el atentado a la AMIA. «Corresponde que la investigación judicial siga su curso para que sea muy clara respecto de las hipótesis que sostengan la investigación», insistió.

Révolté par « les #meurtres perpétrés par l’Etat d’#Israël », un #Juste rend sa médaille

« Il est particulièrement choquant et tragique aujourd’hui, quatre générations plus tard, que notre famille soit confrontée à l’assassinat de nos proches à Gaza », a écrit #Henk_Zanoli dans une lettre expliquant sa décision. Il s’agit d’un « meurtre perpétré par l’Etat d’Israël ». « En ce qui me concerne, garder l’honneur accordé par l’Etat d’Israël, dans ces circonstances, serait à la fois une insulte à la mémoire de ma mère courageuse qui a risqué sa vie et celle de ses enfants (...) tout comme une insulte pour ceux de ma famille, quatre générations plus tard, qui ont perdu pas moins de six de leurs parents à #Gaza aux mains de l’Etat d’Israël. »
Le Times de Londres refuse de passer la publicité d’Elie Wiesel, laquelle était déjà passée dans le New York Times, le Washington Post et le Wall Street Journal. (Ce qui prouve donc, kof kof, que les Anglais sont antisémites.)
London Times refuses to run Elie Wiesel ad denouncing Hamas’ human shields
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.609096
The London Times refused to run an ad featuring Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel speaking out against Hamas’ use of children as human shields.
The ad sponsored by The Values Network, which was founded by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, has run in The New York Times, Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, among other U.S. newspapers. The refusal was first reported by the New York Observer.
The London Times refused the ad because “the opinion being expressed is too strong and too forcefully made and will cause concern amongst a significant number of Times readers,” according to a statement from a representative of the newspaper, the Observer reported.
Curieusement, le Guardian a fini par l’accepter :

Far-right parties sweeping EU vote should serve as warning sign -
The shared fear of Muslims has not yet led major Jewish organizations to lift their boycotts against dubious politicians in far-right parties.

Despite Sunday’s election gains for far-right parties, according to the latest report on the issue by the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, published last month, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Europe actually declined last year.
The center, at Tel Aviv University, is headed by Prof. Dina Porat. And while the Anti-Defamation League’s Global 100 Index found that 24 percent of Western Europeans held anti-Semitic attitudes, it is hard to find a direct link to the election results.
The index scores in France and the United Kingdom, where far-right parties swept the EU polls, were 37 percent and 8 percent, respectively. And Greece and Sweden, both of which voted to send parties with a neo-Nazi past to Strasbourg for the first time, were on either end of the Global 11 Index, at 69 percent and 4 percent, respectively.
Another measurement of the threat felt by European Jews is immigration to Israel. While in most countries on the continent the number of Jews coming to Israel declined between 2012 and 2013, in France the number rose by nearly 50 percent, to 3,200, and so far this year the pace is only increasing. France had the most anti-Semitic incidents in the world, according to the Kantor Center report, but perhaps it can shed light on the situation throughout the continent.
Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Front and the daughter of party founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, has made tremendous efforts to shed the party’s anti-Semitic image. And while her father suggested last week that the deadly Ebola virus could solve Europe’s immigration problems, his daughter has successfully rebranded the party as protecting “ordinary citizens” from both the bureaucrats in Brussels and mass immigration from Africa.
In France as in other EU member states, the makeovers of the far-right parties included removing most of their anti-Semitic features to focus on fear of the “Muslim threat” to the continent.
Many French Jews are still repelled by the National Front, and German Jews are certainly shocked by the neo-Nazis’ gains in their country (even if they had more to do with the lowering of the electoral threshold than a significant rise in support for the NPD).
But a significant proportion of the anti-Semitic incidents in France and elsewhere in Europe are a product of anti-Jewish sentiment among Muslims, linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not “old-school” Christian anti-Semitism.
Until Saturday’s attack in Brussels, the worst anti-Semitic attack in Europe in recent years was the 2012 killing of four people at a Jewish school in Toulouse by a Muslim extremist.
The shared fear of Muslims has not yet led major Jewish organizations to lift their boycotts against dubious politicians in far-right parties.
But the common interest is clear, and the wall is more porous than it once was, as seen in the increasingly close ties between the extreme right in Europe and in Israel.
Obama’s half brother photographed wearing Hamas kaffiyeh
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.571624
A photograph of U.S. President Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik wearing a kaffiyeh (Palestinian scarf) with Hamas slogans in 2010 was discovered Thursday, Britain’s Daily Mail reported.
The slogans on the kaffiyeh read: “Jerusalem is ours – we are coming” and “From the river to the sea.”
The photograph was taken at a conference Malik Obama attended in Yemen in 2010, and appears on the website of the Barack H. Obama Foundation, an organization he founded and directs that takes its name from his father.
Etats-Unis: Obama annonce qu’il nomme Hagel au Pentagone, Brennan à la CIA
►http://www.romandie.com/news/n/_Etats_Unis_Obama_annonce_qu_il_nomme_Hagel_au_Pentagone_Brennan_a_la_CIA7
WASHINGTON - Le président des Etats-Unis Barack Obama a annoncé lundi qu’il nommait l’ancien sénateur républicain Chuck Hagel comme secrétaire à la Défense et son conseiller antiterroriste John Brennan pour diriger la Centrale américaine du renseignement (CIA).
Exhortant le Sénat à confirmer aussi vite que possible ces nominations, M. Obama a notamment affirmé à propos de M. Hagel qu’il était le leader que nos soldats méritent. C’est un patriote américain. Il s’est engagé dans l’armée et a été volontaire pour aller au Vietnam, a rappelé le président à propos de l’ancien sénateur du Nebraska (centre), 66 ans.
(...)
Les démocrates ne possèdent pas de majorité qualifiée à la Chambre haute du Congrès, nécessaire pour éviter une obstruction républicaine, et des voix de sénateurs républicains seront donc nécessaires pour que ces deux candidats puissent prendre leurs fonctions.

Obama nominates Chuck Hagel as next U.S. secretary of defense

Along with secretary of state nominee Sen. John Kerry, Hagel and Brennan would play key roles implementing and shaping Obama’s national security priorities. All three must be confirmed by the Senate.
In nominating Hagel, Obama signaled he is willing to take on a tough confirmation fight. The 66-year-old moderate Republican has criticized discussion of a military strike by either the U.S. or Israel against Iran. He also irritated some Israel supporters with his reference to the “Jewish lobby” in the United States. And he has backed efforts to bring Iran to the table for future peace talks in Afghanistan.
The second-ranking Senate Republican, John Cornyn, said in a statement that making Hagel defense secretary would be “the worst possible message we could send to our friend Israel and the rest of our allies in the Middle East.”
Chuck Hagel, nommé au Pentagone, assure Israël de son soutien total

WASHINGTON - Chuck Hagel, nommé lundi par le président américain Barack Obama à la tête du Pentagone, a assuré Israël de son soutien total alors que des élus républicains lui reprochent de n’avoir pas suffisamment défendu ce pays ou de s’être opposé aux sanctions contre Téhéran.
Il n’y a pas la moindre preuve que je sois anti-israélien, pas le moindre vote (de ma part au Sénat, ndlr) qui aurait pu causer du tort à Israël, a affirmé l’ancien sénateur du Nebraska au journal local de cet Etat du centre des Etats-Unis, le Lincoln Journal Star.
