Washington (AFP) - US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has
promised Israel the United States will be "clear-eyed" and committed to
ensuring that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons as Washington
pursues engagement.Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, whose
government has pressed for a hard line, visited Washington a week before
Iran meets six nations to ease international concerns on its nuclear
program that have triggered a US-led campaign of sanctions."Secretary
Hagel noted that while the United States intends to test the prospect
for a diplomatic solution with Iran we remain clear-eyed about the
challenges ahead," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.The United
States "will not waver from our firm policy to prevent Iran from
obtaining nuclear weapons," he said.Iran's
newly elected President Hassan Rouhani, a self-styled moderate, sought
to ease longstanding tensions with the West during a week-long visit to
the United States, culminating in an unprecedented telephone call with
US President Barack Obama on September 27.
Iran's US-educated foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has said he hopes to reach a settlement over Tehran's nuclear program within a year and will present a package during October 15-16 talks in Geneva with the United States and five other powers -- Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia.Iran says that its uranium enrichment work is for peaceful purposes. But Western powers and Israel, which is believed to have a clandestine nuclear program, charge that the Islamic republic is seeking an atomic bomb.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged no let-up in pressure on Iran and not ruled out a military strike.
Hagel, a former Republican senator and Vietnam veteran turned opponent of the Iraq war, has tried to reassure Israel after facing stiff opposition to his nomination following his remark that a "Jewish lobby" was intimidating lawmakers in Washington.

Pope Francis: I’ll come to Israel
In meeting with Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, leader of world’s Catholics promises to visit, doesn’t say when
October 9, 2013, 3:11 pm
0-The Times of Israel
Edelstein was on an
official visit to Italy and the Vatican Wednesday.He met Pope Francis
Wednesday afternoon, and invited him to Israel and to a visit to the
Knesset.Francis replied emphatically, “I’ll come! I’ll come!”Edelstein
also asked the pope to help combat anti-Semitism.“There is still
anti-Semitism in the world,” Edelstein said. “I ask you to use your
influence to combat it.”Pope Francis had indicated in July he would
visit Israel in 2014 to mark the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s
visit to Jerusalem in 1964, which took place before the Vatican
recognized the State of Israel.“The government of Israel granted me a
unique opportunity to come to Jerusalem,” Francis said at the time.The
Argentinian-born pontiff made the comments
on his papal aircraft flying back to the Vatican from Brazil after his
first trip abroad since his election in March. He told the assembled
reporters that Israel invited him to visit to mark the anniversary, and
if he did make the trip, he would visit the Palestinian Authority as
well.The future visit would mark Francis’s second
to the Holy Land. He visited in 1973, arriving just as the Yom Kippur
War broke out. As The Times of Israel revealed in April,
Jorge Mario Bergoglio (as he was then) spent six days confined to his
Jerusalem hotel, studying the Letters of Saint Paul to the
Corinthians.President Shimon Peres first invited Francis
to Israel immediately after his election, calling on him to visit as a
spiritual, not a political, leader.“The sooner you visit the better, as
in these
days a new opportunity is being created for peace and your arrival could
contribute significantly to increasing the trust and belief in peace,”
Peres said.Francis would try to find time to come to Israel “in the near
future,” the President’s Office said in July.Both of the pontiff’s
immediate predecessors visited Israel — Benedict XVI in 2009 and John
Paul II in 2000.
Make Barghouti your deputy, Fatah leaders urge Abbas
PA chief is pressed to appoint convicted murderer as vice president in bid to expedite his release from Israeli jail
October 9, 2013, 12:39 pm
3-The Times of Israel
Several senior Fatah
party
officials urged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to appoint
former Fatah strongman Marwan Barghouti — who is serving five life
sentences for murder in an Israeli prison — as his vice president, The
Times of Israel has learned. Such a move would aim to expedite
Barghouti’s release and line him up to be Abbas’s eventual successor.The
issue of succession — Abbas is 78 years old — was raised at the end of
September during a meeting in Ramallah of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council
and the party’s Central Committee, the two most influential bodies in
the hierarchy of Fatah, Abbas’s dominant faction of the PLO.At the
meeting, committee member Tawfiq
Tirawi, an adviser to Abbas, took the floor to propose that Abbas
appoint a vice president, and recommended Fatah Tanzim leader Barghouti
(who was once a political rival of Tirawi’s) as the man for the job.
Tirawi argued that Barghouti’s appointment would pave the way for his
release from Israeli incarceration.Several other senior Fatah members
expressed
support for Tirawi’s motion, and also demanded to know why the
Palestinian Authority’s negotiating team had not demanded Barghouti’s
release as a precondition for the latest round of talks with Israel,
which commenced in late July.According to individuals who were present,
Abbas responded, laughing, “You can ask, but why are you interrogating
me?”
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, the
sources said, responded to Tirawi’s motion. Erekat said he agreed that
Barghouti’s appointment as vice president would indeed help the PA exert
international pressure on Israel for his release.Abbas agreed in principle to the appointment
of a deputy, if and when the Central Committee agrees upon and elects a
candidate. As things stand, however, it is not thought that any
candidate could gain the support of even half of the committee’s 23
members.Barghouti is highly popular among the
Palestinian public, but does not enjoy broad support from the Fatah
leadership, which fears his influence and popularity. Another leader
whose name has featured in headlines recently, Jibril Rajoub, is
considered relatively popular compared to other Fatah elites, but also
does not command the support of the Central Committee members.Discussion of a vice president underlines the
growing concern within Fatah about a successor to Abbas. The PA
president has suffered from health problems in the past, and has
threatened more than once to resign — though that option, for now at
least, is not on the table.According to Palestinian law, if the president
of the Palestinian Authority is unable to continue serving, he is
temporarily replaced by the Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative
Council– the PA’s parliament. At present, through, most inconveniently
for Fatah, the PLC speaker is a Hamas politician, Aziz Dweik.
Some in Fatah argue that since Dweik’s
appointment was not formally renewed a year after he took office, it is
no longer valid. (Hamas, for its part, argues that since Abbas’s term as
PA president formally expired in January 2009, his presidency is no
longer valid.) Fatah is emphatically not interested in reconvening the
PLC, where Hamas holds a majority, and has no desire to raise the issue
of a succession to Abbas in a forum where it is outnumbered.Abbas holds three major titles at the moment:
president of the Palestinian Authority, chairman of the PLO, and
chairman of Fatah. It is possible that Fatah’s Central Committee, a sort
of intermediary group between Fatah’s executive committee and the PLO’s
Palestinian National Council (PNC), could select a figure who could
step in as a temporary replacement for Abbas if for some reason an
interim leader is required. This same body is also empowered to choose a
new PLO chairman if and when necessary. As for the Fatah chairman’s
role, should a new chairman be needed, the most likely scenario would
see the appointment of Mohammad “Abu Maher” Ghneim, currently the
general-secretary of the Central Committee as a temporary chairman until
Fatah’s wider forum, the Seventh Committee, were to convene.

Netanyahu ‘rejects Palestinian, American call’ for early prisoner release
Prime minister also fends off right-wing pressure to cancel the phased series of releases amid spate of West Bank violence
October 9, 2013, 8:30 am
6-The Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu rejected a Palestinian and American request to move up the
expected release of Palestinian terrorists serving extended sentences in
Israeli prisons, according to Haaretz.Israel
agreed in July to a four-stage release of 104 prisoners serving
sentences for acts of terror committed before the signing of the Oslo
Accords in 1993. The agreement was intended as a sign of good faith
ahead of the renewed American-brokered peace talks between Israel and
the Palestinians.The first group of prisoners was released in August,
just after talks between the two sides restarted.The second group of
some 25 prisoners was
slated to be released on October 29, but the Palestinian Authority asked
Israel to release the prisoners in time for the Muslim holiday of Eid
al-Adha next week.Netanyahu has faced pressure from hawkish ministers
to delay or cancel the prisoner releases in the wake of a series of
violent incidents in the West Bank in recent weeks, including the killing of two IDF soldiers and the attack that wounded a nine-year-old girl in the settlement of Psagot last Saturday.Netanyahu has resisted the pressure from the
right and plans to release the prisoners on schedule, the prime
minister’s representative in the peace talks, attorney Yitzhak Molcho,
assured Palestinian and American officials in recent days.
Missing from Abbas meeting with MKs: Israeli flag, Palestinian journalists
PA president talks peace and condemns violence, dodges Netanyahu’s call to recognize Jewish Israel, does not reciprocate Knesset’s recent display of Palestinian flag
October 8, 2013, 12:18 pm
11-The Times of Israel
RAMALLAH — At the start of Monday’s visit to Palestinian Authority headquarters
by 11 Labor MKs and one from Hatnua, PA President Mahmoud Abbas shook
hands warmly and posed for picture after picture with the Israeli
delegation’s leader, Labor MK Hilik Bar. Behind them in the large
meeting room was a huge photograph of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, the
golden Dome of the Rock sparkling. A dozen Israeli camera crews and
still photographers, congregated at the far end of the meeting room
beneath a large Palestinian flag, recorded the scene for posterity.
Along the side wall, out of shot, was another big Palestinian flag, with
the late Yasser Arafat’s beaming features at one end of it, and Abbas’s
smiling face at the other.At
the conclusion of the second, private part of the visit, from which
journalists were supposed to have been excluded — after the MKs had
introduced themselves to Abbas, two or three had asked pointed
questions, and Abbas had ducked these while exuding bonhomie — the
president posed for more pictures, many more. He posed with the entire
visiting political delegation, with individual MKs, and with the
representatives of two pro-peace Israeli groups who had joined the MKs.
Labor’s ex-social activist Itzik Shmuli returned from the bathroom;
Abbas got the rest of the group together and posed with Shmuli too. Stav
Shaffir, the second social activist-turned-Labor MK, back a bit later
from the loo, made it into yet a few more shots before the PA chief took
his leave.Conspicuously absent from all these
photographs, indeed absent from the entire room during the entire visit,
was the Israeli flag. Not so much as a little one on the table. It made
for quite a contrast to the scene on July 31, when members of Bar’s
Knesset Caucus to Resolve the Arab-Israeli Conflict, hosting PA
politicians in the Israeli parliament at a meeting attended by 33 MKs
from parties representing 77 of the 120 MKs, held their talks with the Palestinian flag alongside Israel’s behind them — a much-headlined Knesset precedent.Also largely absent from Monday’s meeting were
Palestinian journalists. Labor invited a busload of Israeli reporters
to document the initial, public section of the meeting, and several of
Abbas’s advisers were present too. But while an aide to Abbas said that
Palestinian journalists were present, and a solitary one was espied,
they proved hard to find.During the encounter, Abbas took pains to
assert that, although there were “opponents of peace” on the Palestinian
side too, he was sure that most of his people support a two-state
solution. Evidently, however, he didn’t want to take the risk of
inviting a sizable contingent of his own media to document, for his
two-state-supporting people, this meeting with the dovish
representatives of that other state. And if his people saw the
photographs, he didn’t want that other state’s national flag causing him
any trouble.Still, coverage in Tuesday’s PA newspapers was
prominent — front page stories in Al-Ayyam and Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah,
both featuring pictures of Abbas with Bar, both based on a press release
issued by the PA news agency WAFA. And the public and private halves of
the visit were conducted in a notably warm and friendly atmosphere.With the journalists in the room, Abbas said
Israel and the Palestinians had been “very close” to an agreement when
Ehud Olmert was prime minister, and lamented the lost opportunity, “for
us and for you,” when that effort collapsed – because of Olmert’s
resignation, he said. (Olmert has argued that Abbas missed the
opportunity by failing to respond to the dramatic peace offer he made in
2008, shortly before he stepped down.) But the current talks were “very
serious” too, Abbas said, and the nine-month time frame was
“sufficient” to reach a permanent accord. (This assertion made the
Al-Ayyam headline.) He hailed Israeli-Palestinian security
cooperation, spoke of the need to quash incitement from both sides, and
condemned “all attacks” that spill blood, with a specific reference to
Saturday night’s incident in Psagot, the killing of an Israeli soldier
in Hebron, and the deaths of four Palestinians at Qalandiya. “We don’t
want blood,” he said. “We want peace.”He also protested the IDF’s “unnecessary”
incursions into PA-controlled territory, castigated Israeli religious
extremists “who come to disturb the peace” at Al-Aqsa Mosque in
Jerusalem, and reserved particular bitterness for settler attacks on
Palestinians, their property, their trees, their churches and their
mosques. (Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah headlined with his plea that the
government put a stop to such attacks.)Like Abbas, Bar spoke of the imperative for a
two-state solution, said he was pleased to hear the negotiations were
moving “in a good direction,” and praised Abbas for leading “nonviolent
resistance. He said the delegation had come to Ramallah to underline
their backing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Justice Minister
Tzipi Livni in the effort to reach a peace accord. “It’s not always
obvious,” said Bar, “but in the Knesset there is a very clear majority,
70 MKs, to support a two-state solution.”After the journalists had been asked to leave,
the meeting continued in much the same tone, with added cigarettes.
There was a moment of good humor when David Tzur (Hatnua), the only MK
present from the coalition, couldn’t get his microphone to work. “It’s
because you’re in the coalition,” joked Abbas adviser Yasser Abed Rabbo.There was a short speech from each MK — most
of them first-time Knesset members, several visiting the PA’s Muqata HQ
for the first time. (Shas was to have sent an MK, but the visit
coincided with the death of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.) And there were a few
pointed questions.Apropos Netanyahu’s Sunday night speech at Bar-Ilan University,
in which the prime minister said the failure to attain a peace accord
stemmed from the Palestinian refusal to recognize “the nation-state of
the Jewish people,” Labor’s Micky Rosenthal asked Abbas, “Do you have
any objection to saying ‘Jewish Israel’?” His party colleague, Moshe
Mizrahi, followed up, rather more passionately. “What difference does it
make to you?… Why not say you recognize Israel as a Jewish state?”Abbas
would not be drawn.He spoke a little about Fatah-Hamas reconciliation,
saying that the Islamists would have to accept “all our positions” on the negotiations,
including a two-state solution and nonviolent resistance. If they did
that, “we’ll immediately hold elections.”He referred to a demonstration against the
talks with Israel, right here in Ramallah on Sunday, but said, “We took
our decision and we will not stop the negotiations.”He said there was “nothing preventing” him
from meeting with Netanyahu, even in the near future, but that this
summit would come when the Americans deemed it appropriate.But he ignored the “Jewish Israel” questions,
referring the MKs instead to a book the PA put out a couple of years ago
setting forth its positions, and repeating, “Let’s leave the specific
issues to the negotiations.” A leaflet distributed to the MKs, “The
Palestinian Position on Some Political Issues,” did include a section on
the Israeli demand for Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state. It
read as follows: “1. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) recognized the state of Israel in 1993 (mutual letters of recognition). 2. Prime Minister Netanyahu introduced this demand only two years ago, in order to obstruct the peace process. 3. Israel did not demand from Jordan and Egypt to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, when it signed peace treaties with them. 4.
When the advisors of US President Harry Truman asked him in 1948 to
recognize Israel as a Jewish state he crossed out ‘Jewish state’ and
wrote instead ‘the state of Israel.’ 5. If the Israelis wish to change the name of Israel, they should do so at the United Nations.”Then came those farewell photographs, and the
MKs emerged to relay to the reporters most of what had been said. They
professed themselves encouraged, judged that Abbas had sounded quite
optimistic, and found it unsurprising that he hadn’t responded to
Netanyahu’s “Jewish Israel” comments. A few of Abbas’s advisers emerged
too, and one of them, Mohammed Madani, did dispute the prime minister’s
contention that blame for the lack of an accord lay with the
Palestinians. “We’re not the problem. We can get Hamas on
board,” he said. “It’s Israel that has to decide if it wants it.”None of
the MKs mentioned the lack of an
Israeli flag, which was a little surprising. At a meeting dedicated to
reconciliation, and after all the headlines surrounding the high
symbolism of the Palestinian flag at the Knesset two months ago, you’d
have thought someone might have noticed.
The nature of peacemaking according to Netanyahu
The PM’s persistent demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state is no mere rejectionist tic — it has deep roots in his grasp of the conflict
October 7, 2013, 5:54 am
41-The Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an aggressive, seemingly petulant speech Sunday night
at Bar-Ilan University. Between Holocaust references and criticism of
Palestinian leaders past and present, he demanded that the Palestinian
Authority recognize not only the unassailable fact of Israel’s
existence, but the historic right of the Jews to have their own
sovereign state in this land.As one critic suggested derisively, he
demanded that the Palestinians become Zionists before peace can be
achieved.Only then will the current round of peace talks be
“significant” and have “a real chance at success,” Netanyahu
explained.It is tempting to side with the prevailing view of the global punditocracy that
suggests Netanyahu is digging his heels in against the advance of the
peace talks, creating artificial stumbling blocks to avoid the painful
compromises that he will likely have to deliver for peace.But that view
is wrong. Whether
Netanyahu, deep in his heart, wants a peace deal with the Palestinians
is a question beyond the ken of any commentator – and is perhaps unknown
to Netanyahu himself.But his demand for Palestinian
recognition of the Jewishness of Israel is no cheap tactic. It is the
key to understanding his theory of the conflict, his view as to why the
Oslo process 20 years ago failed, and his distrust of Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the new round of talks.When Israeli
hawks complain about PA incitement, doves are fond of replying, “You
make peace with enemies.”But Netanyahu has a different view, not about
PA incitement, but about the nature of peacemaking.
When a Western leader once sought to
make peace with his enemy, he found himself undermined politically and
transformed into a laughingstock of history. That leader was Neville
Chamberlain – and the enemy was Adolf Hitler. When another leader sought
to unite a fractured society riven by racial discord, his efforts
transformed him into a revered figure and his peacemaking efforts
continue to heal and unify long after his death. That leader was Martin
Luther King, and his enemy was the white racism that had tormented
American blacks through centuries of slavery and inequality.The difference between Chamberlain’s
failure and King’s success lay, in part, in their constituents’ view of
the enemy. Soon after Munich, Britons came to view Hitler as implacably
evil, and Chamberlain’s peacemaking efforts as accommodation with that
unspeakable evil. (That this view of Hitler was correct is beside the
point; the issue here is psychological. )
On the other hand, King did not call
on American blacks to make peace with Ku Klux Klan murderers or the
racist governors of southern states. He called on them to make peace
with the just aspects of white America, its promise of freedom, no
matter how long denied, its belief in its moral mission, no matter how
hypocritical American moralizing may have seemed to suffering blacks.
There is good in our enemy, King told his followers, and a peace can be
struck with that good.The point here goes to the
psychology of leadership: If the enemy is viewed as implacably evil,
peacemaking necessarily becomes politically ruinous. It is only when the
enemy is seen as possessing some justice on their side that a leader’s
efforts to accommodate that enemy become legitimate and politically
palatable.This difference in the perception of
the enemy has arguably played an oversized role in recent Israeli
history. During the 1990s, those Israelis who believed the Oslo peace
process was addressing the Palestinians’ just demand for
self-determination often saw the late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin as a
national hero, “a warrior for peace.” Those who saw the Palestinians as
an implacable, illegitimate enemy viewed Rabin as either a dangerous
fool or a traitor.
Netanyahu’s demand for recognition
has its roots in this Israeli experience. The Palestinians cannot bring
themselves to end the conflict, Netanyahu believes, because they cannot
bring themselves to compromise with an enemy they view as completely
evil.They have not yet shifted from
perceiving their enemy as absolutely evil to perceiving him as
possessing some justice on his side, however limited. Israel remains a
categorical foe, and see Israelis as interlopers robbing another people
of their national home. Even Palestinian moderates share this basic view
of Israel: it is an evil, but an evil too well entrenched to remove.
Israel does not have even a modicum of justice on its side, only brute
force, they believe.Thus, any Palestinian leader who
seeks peace with Israel falls into the “Chamberlain trap,” finding
himself undermined by the perception among his own people that he is
accommodating evil rather than pursuing justice.
This analysis has become a key plank
of Netanyahu’s policy toward the Palestinians, and has led to some of
his most misunderstood speeches and demands. It is the reason he never
fails to discuss the millennia-old Jewish attachment to the land of
Israel in his speeches before a United Nations General Assembly that
could care less.The Palestinians don’t need to
become Zionists, Netanyahu believes, but they need to perceive that
Jewish demands, too, are rooted in justice. Only then will their
domestic constituencies and political systems be capable of engaging in
peacemaking.It is a mistake to view Netanyahu’s
Bar-Ilan 2 speech as indicating he is withdrawing, even in tone, from
the peace talks. In fact, the renewed urgency of his demand for
recognition — which he believes to be critical to peacemaking — might
suggest that the talks are, at long last, getting serious.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,(WORLD TRAVEL,IMMIGRATION) and knowledge shall be increased.(COMPUTERS,CHIP IMPLANTS ETC)
Hagel promises Israel to be 'clear-eyed' on Iran
Iran's US-educated foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has said he hopes to reach a settlement over Tehran's nuclear program within a year and will present a package during October 15-16 talks in Geneva with the United States and five other powers -- Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia.Iran says that its uranium enrichment work is for peaceful purposes. But Western powers and Israel, which is believed to have a clandestine nuclear program, charge that the Islamic republic is seeking an atomic bomb.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged no let-up in pressure on Iran and not ruled out a military strike.
Hagel, a former Republican senator and Vietnam veteran turned opponent of the Iraq war, has tried to reassure Israel after facing stiff opposition to his nomination following his remark that a "Jewish lobby" was intimidating lawmakers in Washington.

3 Jewish professors — two of them Israeli — share 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry
Kibbutz-born Arieh Warshel fought in ’67 and ’73 wars; Pretoria-born Michael Levitt taught at the Weizmann Institute for most of the 1980s, took Israeli citizenship; Martin Karplus fled as a child to the US from Nazi-occupied Austria. Prestigious prize awarded ‘for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems’
Israeli professor Arieh Warshel
on Wednesday won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with fellow Jewish
professors Michael Levitt (who also holds Israeli citizenship) and
Martin Karplus.Warshel,
72, is a distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he has been
since the 1970s.Fellow winner Michael Levitt, a South
Africa-born professor, taught at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot for
most of the 1980s. Vienna-born Martin Karplus fled the Nazi occupation
of Austria as a child in 1938.Of the 23 chemistry Nobels awarded in the past decade, 11 of the winners were Jewish and six of them were Israelis.The trio won the award “for the development of
multiscale models for complex chemical systems,” the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences announced.Warshel, contacted by the Swedish Academy of
Sciences live by phone at 3 a.m. Los Angeles time, shortly after the
award was announced, said he had been watching the ceremony live on the
Internet, and added cheerily that he felt “extremely well.”He said his research is motivated largely by
his own curiosity. The work for which he and his colleagues were awarded
the Nobel is for developing “a method that allowed us to understand how
proteins actually work,” he said, and he explained that it was like
seeing a watch, wondering what was going on inside, and finding out.“We developed how a computer can take the
structure of a protein, and can understand how it does exactly what it
does — for example digesting food,” Warshel said. “You want to
understand how it is happening, and then you can use it to design drugs,
or in my case, to satisfy your curiosity,” the professor added.
Later Wednesday, Warshel said “I feel
Israeli,” even though he has spent almost the past 40 years in the US
and also has US citizenship. He told Army Radio he visits Israel often,
and that his children speak Hebrew.
Benny Warshel, his brother, told Israel Radio
that Arieh brought great honor to the State of Israel. “He fought in
this country’s wars, in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War, and he
defends Israel in academic circles,” said Benny. “He’s very connected to
this country,” he added.Warshel was born in 1940 in Kibbutz Sde Nahum,
in the Beit She’an Valley. He served in the IDF (reaching the rank of
captain), then attended Haifa’s Technion, where he got a BSc degree in
Chemistry in 1966. He earned MSc and PhD degrees in Chemical Physics (in
1967 and 1969), at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. He
then did postdoctoral work at Harvard University, returned to the
Weizmann Institute in the early 1970s and also worked for the Laboratory
of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, England. He joined the faculty of the
Department of Chemistry at USC in 1976.
Levitt, who was born in Pretoria in 1947,
received his BSc from King’s College, London and his PhD in
computational biology from the University of Cambridge. He was a Royal
Society Exchange Fellow at the Weizmann Institute from 1967-1968, and
later returned as a professor of chemical physics from 1980-1987.
The third winner, Martin Karplus, was born in
Vienna in 1930, and, along with his family, fled to the United States in
1938 to escape the Nazi occupation of Austria. He attended Harvard
University and received his PhD from the California Institute of
Technology.His brother Robert Karpus, who died in 1990,
was also a theoretical physicist and was a professor at the University
of California, Berkeley.
The Karpus family was “an intellectual and
successful secular Jewish family” who were “prominent citizens” of
Vienna, where there is a street named after them, according to “A Love
of Discovery,” a biography of Robert Karpus published in 2002.In its reasoning, the academy noted that in
the past, chemists “used to create models of molecules using plastic
balls and sticks. Today, the modelling is carried out in computers. In
the 1970s, Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel laid the
foundation for the powerful programs that are used to understand and
predict chemical processes.”The academy continued, in a statement:
“Computer models mirroring real life have become crucial for most
advances made in chemistry today. Chemical reactions occur at lightning
speed. In a fraction of a millisecond, electrons jump from one atomic
nucleus to the other. Classical chemistry has a hard time keeping up; it
is virtually impossible to experimentally map every little step in a
chemical process. Aided by the methods now awarded with the Nobel Prize
in Chemistry, scientists let computers unveil chemical processes, such
as a catalyst’s purification of exhaust fumes or the photosynthesis in
green leaves.”It said the work of Karplus, Levitt and
Warshel “is groundbreaking in that they managed to make Newton’s
classical physics work side-by-side with the fundamentally different
quantum physics. Previously, chemists had to choose to use either or.
The strength of classical physics was that calculations were simple and
could be used to model really large molecules. Its weakness, it offered
no way to simulate chemical reactions. For that purpose, chemists
instead had to use quantum physics. But such calculations required
enormous computing power and could therefore only be carried out for
small molecules.”This year’s Nobel Laureates in chemistry, the
academy said, “took the best from both worlds and devised methods that
use both classical and quantum physics. For instance, in simulations of
how a drug couples to its target protein in the body, the computer
performs quantum theoretical calculations on those atoms in the target
protein that interact with the drug. The rest of the large protein is
simulated using less demanding classical physics. Today the computer is
just as important a tool for chemists as the test tube. Simulations are
so realistic that they predict the outcome of traditional experiments.”Vienna-born Karplus is based at the Université
de Strasbourg, France, and Harvard University, Cambridge,
Massachusetts. Levitt, who holds UK and Israeli citizenship, works from
Stanford University, California. Warshel, who holds US and Israeli citizenship, is a distinguished professor, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.The prize amount, SEK 8 million — some $1.25 million — is to be shared equally between the laureates.
