US aid group admits Gaza convoy taken over by
unvetted people before IDF fired at them-Israel says individuals were
gunmen, which it specifically targeted without harming others; Anera
does not explain their presence but says it did not view them as
‘hostile threat’By Emanuel Fabian-31 August 2024, 1:25 am
A
US-based aid group admitted Friday that a group of individuals — who the
Israeli military says were armed — took control of an aid convoy in the
southern Gaza Strip the day before, without the organization having
vetted them or coordinated the matter with the Israel Defense Forces.The
military said Thursday that it struck the gunmen, killing them while
not harming aid workers.According to the IDF, Hamas operatives
frequently try to hijack aid deliveries.The IDF had said on Thursday
that a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid
(Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with Israeli
coordination. It said that during the drive, it identified a group of
gunmen taking over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and beginning to
lead it. The IDF described the act as a hijacking attempt.Shortly
afterward, the IDF said it was able to determine that it could strike
just the car with the gunmen, without harming the rest of the convoy,
and so it carried out a strike, killing at least four.In a vaguely
worded statement on Friday, Anera said that after the convoy departed
the Kerem Shalom crossing, “four community members with experience in
previous missions and engagement in community security” with their
transport company, Move One, “stepped forward and took command of the
leading vehicle, citing concern that the route was unsafe and at risk of
being looted.”Anera did not explain who the four were, or why persons
who had not been coordinated with the military were allowed to take
control of the convoy. It acknowledged that “the four community members
were neither vetted nor coordinated in advance.”Still, the organization
said “the four individuals were not perceived by the convoy as a hostile
threat” and that the Israeli strike “was carried out without any prior
warning or communication.”No Anera employees were hurt in the incident,
and the convoy arrived at its destination, both the IDF and the
organization said. According to the Anera, only one employee was present
in the convoy, and they were unharmed.The IDF said Thursday that “the
presence of armed men in a humanitarian convoy without coordination is
against the procedures, makes it difficult to secure the convoys and
their workers and thus also harms the humanitarian effort in Gaza.”The
military also said that representatives from the Coordination of
Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit spoke with members
of Anera, who “confirmed that all the members of the organization who
were part of the convoy, along with the humanitarian aid, were safe and
sound and reached their destination safely.”The Anera incident followed a
shooting on Tuesday toward a United Nations World Food Programme
humanitarian aid convoy inside Gaza. Israel said the shooting was a
result of a communication error between army units, leading the US to
call on Israel to “immediately rectify” its conduct.On Wednesday, the
WFP suspended the movement of its employees across the Gaza Strip. It
said at least 10 bullets struck one of its clearly marked vehicles as it
approached an Israeli military checkpoint at the Wadi Gaza bridge, in
northern Gaza, after completing a mission in the Strip’s south. No one
was hurt.“Humanitarian workers are there to help innocent civilians, and
Israel must ensure they are protected,” US State Department
spokesperson Matthew Miller wrote on X.A bullet-ridden World Food
Programme vehicle in Gaza on August 27, 2024. (WFP)-The strikes came as
the UN readies to inoculate some 640,000 children in Gaza against polio
after an unvaccinated 10-month-old boy was found to have the Strip’s
first case of the disease in 25 years.The Israeli Prime Minister’s
Office confirmed Wednesday night that there would be localized
humanitarian truces in the Strip to facilitate the vaccination
campaign.Israel has previously come under intense criticism for harm to
humanitarian convoys in Gaza. In April, the IDF struck a clearly marked
World Central Kitchen aid convoy near Deir al-Balah, in the Strip’s
center, killing seven aid workers. The army said the strike was a grave
error, and two senior IDF officers were fired over the incident.Times of
Israel staff and Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

Behind
Gaza polio case, experts see ‘horrible’ WHO decision fueling outbreaks
worldwide-UN body removed strain from oral prophylactic in 2016, leaving
children vulnerable to vaccine-derived viruses circulating silently,
with over 3,300 paralyzed by disease since-By AP and ToI Staff 29 August
2024, 11:48 pm
LONDON — The baby in Gaza who was recently
paralyzed by polio was infected with a mutated strain of the virus that
vaccinated people shed in their waste, according to scientists who say
the case is the result of “an unqualified failure” of public health
policy.The infection, which marked the first detection of polio in the
war-torn Palestinian territory in more than 25 years, paralyzed the
lower part of one leg in the unvaccinated 10-month-old child. The baby
boy was one of hundreds of thousands of children who missed vaccinations
because of the fighting between Israel and Hamas.Scientists who have
been monitoring polio outbreaks said the baby’s illness showed the
failures of a global effort by the World Health Organization and its
partners to fix serious problems in their otherwise largely successful
eradication campaign, which has nearly wiped out the highly infectious
disease. Separately, a draft report by experts deemed the WHO effort a
failure and “a severe setback.”The polio strain in question evolved from
a weakened virus that was originally part of an oral vaccine credited
with preventing millions of children worldwide from being paralyzed. But
that virus, known as Type 2, was removed from the vaccine in 2016 in
hopes of preventing vaccine-derived outbreaks.Public health authorities
knew that decision would leave people unprotected against that
particular strain, but they thought they had a plan to ward off and
quickly contain any outbreaks. Instead, the move resulted in a surge of
thousands of cases.“It was a really horrible strategy,” said Columbia
University virologist Vincent Racaniello, who was not involved with the
report or the WHO. “The decision to switch vaccines was based on an
incorrect assumption, and the result is now we have more polio and more
paralyzed children.”A draft copy of the report commissioned by the WHO
and independent experts said the plan underestimated the amount of the
strain in the environment and overestimated how well officials would be
able to squash outbreaks.The plan led to vaccine-linked polio outbreaks
in 43 countries that paralyzed more than 3,300 children, the report
concluded.Even before the Gaza case was detected, officials reviewing
the initiative to tinker with the vaccine concluded that “the worst-case
scenario has materialized,” the report said.The report has not yet been
published, and some changes will likely be made before the final
version is released next month, the WHO said.The strain that infected
the baby in Gaza had lingered in the environment and mutated into a
version capable of starting outbreaks. It was traced to polio viruses
spreading last year in Egypt, according to genetic sequencing, the WHO
said.In 2022, vaccine-linked polio viruses were found to be spreading in
Britain, Israel and the US, where an unvaccinated man was paralyzed in
upstate New York.Scientists now worry that the emergence of polio in a
war zone with an under-immunized population could fuel further
spread.The WHO said Thursday that it had reached an agreement with
Israel for limited pauses in fighting in Gaza to allow for the
vaccinations. The agency’s representative in the Palestinian territories
said the first three-day pause would start Sunday in central Gaza. That
will be followed by another three-day pause in southern Gaza and then
another in northern Gaza. The pauses were to last eight or nine hours
each day.Racaniello said the failure to track polio carefully and to
sufficiently protect children against the strain removed from the
vaccine has had devastating consequences.“Only about 1% of polio cases
are symptomatic, so 99% of infections are silently spreading the
disease,” he said.The oral polio vaccine, which has reduced infections
globally by more than 99%, is easy to make and distribute. Children
require just two drops per dose that can be administered by volunteers.
The oral vaccine is better at stopping transmission than the injected
version, and it is cheaper and easier to administer.But the weakened
live virus in the vaccine can be shed by immunized kids in human waste,
allowing it to circulate and eventually mutate into a form that can
trigger outbreaks in unvaccinated people. In 2016, the WHO removed Type 2
from the vaccine, reasoning that the wild version had been eradicated,
but leaving populations vulnerable to vaccine-derived outbreaks.In Gaza,
authorities will use a newer version of the oral polio vaccine that
targets the problematic strain. The weakened live virus in the new
vaccine is less likely to cause vaccine-derived outbreaks, but they are
still possible.Most wealthy countries, including the US, use an injected
vaccine, which carries a dead virus and does not come with the risk
that polio will be present in human waste. However, it does not prevent
those who are vaccinated from spreading the virus around to
others.Racaniello said it was “unethical” that the WHO and its partners
were using a vaccine that is unlicensed in rich countries precisely
because it can increase the risk of polio in unvaccinated
children.Vaccine-linked cases now comprise the majority of polio
infections in more than a dozen countries, in addition to Afghanistan
and Pakistan, where transmission of the wild virus has never been
stopped.“This is the result of the Faustian bargain we made when we
decided to use” the oral polio vaccine, said Dr. Paul Offit, director of
the Vaccine Education Center at the University of Philadelphia. “If we
really want to eradicate polio, then we need to stop using the vaccine
with live (weakened) virus.”The report’s authors faulted leaders at the
WHO and its partners for being unable or unwilling “to recognize the
seriousness of the evolving problem and take corrective action.”WHO
spokesman Oliver Rosenbauer acknowledged that the vaccine strategy
“exacerbated” the risk of epidemics linked to the vaccine.He said in an
email that immunization “was not implemented in such a way to rapidly
stop outbreaks or to prevent new strains from emerging.”The WHO
estimates that 95% of the population needs to be immunized against polio
to stop outbreaks. The UN health agency says the rate has since dropped
to below 90% of Gaza’s population.Rosenbauer said not hitting
vaccination targets was the biggest risk for allowing vaccine-linked
viruses to emerge.“You need to reach the children with the vaccines,” he
said. “Regardless of which vaccines are used.”

A
synagogue on the Temple Mount? Temple Institute founder answers-Temple
Institute founder and dean of the Temple Yeshiva Rabbi Yisrael Ariel
speaks with Arutz Sheva and voices support for the establishment of a
synagogue on the Temple Mount.
Uzi Baruch- Aug 27, 2024, 4:13 PM (GMT+3)
Rabbi
Yisrael Ariel, the founder of the Temple Institute and the dean of the
Temple Yeshiva, sat with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News for an
interview following the renewed debate regarding Jewish visits to the
Temple Mount.The debate surrounding the issue was rebooted after
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that he would establish a
synagogue on the Temple Mount.Asked if Ben-Gvir's remarks crossed a
line, Rabbi Ariel answers: "The real question is who draws that line?
For us, G-d is the one who draws the lines which were set in the Torah
and during the return to Zion in the Land of Israel and Jerusalem after
the Six Day War." Rabbi Ariel harkens back to the days after the war
when he was assigned to guard the Dome of the Rock, the site of the Holy
of Holies in the Temple. "Since then I haven't left the position. We
must protect the place. That is our line, and we have no
other."Regarding rabbinical rulings prohibiting entry to the holy site,
Rabbi Ariel emphasized: "To be honest, there was never a discussion on
the matter at the Chief Rabbinate. There were decisions made, but there
was never a discussion about entering the mount." According to him,
there is no sweeping halachic ruling prohibiting entry, he notes that
"there isn't even half a document that confirms this."Rabbi Ariel
recounts that he spoke with Minister Ben-Gvir and reminded him that the
idea to build a synagogue on the Temple Mount is not a new one. He
mentions the Chief Rabbinate Council's decision from the 12th of Av 5760
(August 13th, 2000), 24 years ago, which decided to hold deliberations
regarding the construction of a synagogue on the Temple Mount. "That
means that there was a Chief Rabbinate decision to discuss the matter,
and not to prohibit entry to the mount," Rabbi Ariel says.Rabbi Ariel
also mentioned claims made mostly by haredi rabbis that visits to the
Temple Mount provoked the Gentiles, especially during such a sensitive
time of war. He emphasized that "whoever says it's prohibited to provoke
the nations of the works disagrees with the Torah. The entire book of
Deuteronomy talks about inheriting the land and settling it, and there
is no place to fear the nations."Rabbi Ariel concluded by mentioning the
stance of Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, which was communicated in a letter by
the late Haifa Chief Rabbi She'ar-Yashuv Hacohen, according to which
everything possible must be done to restore Jewish control over the
Temple Mount. According to him, Rabbi Kook encouraged the establishment
of a synagogue on the Temple Mount but asked that it be done through a
Chief Rabbinate Council decision. "Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda planned, together
with Rabbi She'ar-Yashuv Hacohen, the establishment of a synagogue on
the Temple Mount under the direction of the Chief Rabbinate," Rabbi
Ariel concluded.
Open Jewish prayer, prostration on Temple Mount
now ‘routine,’ activists say-In recent weeks police are no longer
preventing or penalizing acts at holy site as Ben Gvir pushes practice,
and are allowing them on a daily basis-By Jeremy Sharon-29 August 2024,
8:04 pm
Open prayer and prostration on the Temple Mount by Jewish
worshipers is now a matter of routine and permitted by the police on a
daily basis, activists for prayer rights at the holy site have said.The
practice was witnessed during a visit to the Temple Mount by The Times
of Israel on Wednesday, where an afternoon prayer service was conducted
out loud. Activists say the prayers take place during morning and
afternoon services every day.The prostrations are conducted on the
eastern side of the Temple Mount esplanade, out of sight of Muslim
worshipers, but in full view of police who accompany Jews during their
visits, and who previously did not allow such prayers under the
decades-old, vague status quo regarding conduct on the Temple
Mount.Prostration on the Temple Mount is considered a special form of
religious worship and even a distinct religious commandment in the right
spot on the site, which is why the ability to carry out the practice
has been welcomed enthusiastically by Temple Mount activists.Prior to
August 13 this year, police would in general detain and remove Jewish
and any non-Muslim visitors engaging in demonstrative prayer such as
prostration. A police officer briefing visitors before their visit would
also instruct them not to engage in demonstrative prayer.But such
instructions are now no longer given, it appears.The new practice first
gained attention on August 13, which this year was the date of the
Jewish Fast of the Ninth of Av, when worshipers who visited the Temple
Mount at the same time as National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir
prostrated themselves and prayed out loud. Police did not detain or
remove any of the worshipers who engaged in such demonstrative
prayer.Ben Gvir insisted then and subsequently that his policy, as the
minister with authority over the police, was to allow Jewish prayer at
the site. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought to play down the
development, asserting that there had been no change to the status quo.
But Ben Gvir brushed off his protestations, and prayers have continued
uninterrupted.One key Temple Mount activist who has been involved in
lobbying for greater Jewish prayer rights at the site for many years
told The Times of Israel that although the changes since August 13 were
“substantive,” he did not believe they constituted a change in the
status quo.Discreet Jewish prayer has been permitted by the police since
at least 2018, during the tenure of Gilad Erdan as police minister.
According to the activist, who wished to remain anonymous, that move was
the real change to the status quo in recent years.He added that along
with the ability to prostrate oneself, the police also permit prayer
with singing and dancing on the eastern side of the Temple Mount,
although this reporter did not witness such activity during Wednesday’s
visit.At the beginning of the visit, a group of some 30 people, mostly
men but including some women and children, ascended to the Mughrabi Gate
from the entrance to the Western Wall plaza singing, “And they will
prostrate themselves to God on the holy mountain in Jerusalem” — a verse
from the Biblical book of Isaiah.As is the general procedure for Jewish
visitors ascending during visiting hours for non-Muslims, the group was
taken by a police escort around the Temple Mount counter-clockwise from
the southwestern corner of the plaza to the eastern side.Upon arriving
there, numerous members of the group bowed down facing west to where the
sanctuary of the ancient Jewish temples was located, in full view of
police.The worshipers also prostrated themselves during the afternoon
prayer service which they conducted, with the relevant parts of the
service performed out loud.
Two activist rabbis then gave short lessons
lasting a few minutes each, before the police instructed the group to
conclude the visit, coming around the northern end of the site and out
through the Chain Gate.Veteran Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yitzhak
Brand, who, unusually for such activists, is ultra-Orthodox (most
Haredim oppose visits to the site), gave one of the lessons, noting the
ability to perform prostration without restriction since August 13.“We
must give thanks to God that we have now merited greater closeness to
God. Prostration is already a special form of worship on the Temple
Mount and the site of the Temple, and this is another stage in the
redemption,” Brand told the group of worshipers.Rabbi Ofer Elyashiv,
another ultra-Orthodox activist who has been visiting the Temple Mount
for just a few years, also extolled the new-found liberty to bow down at
the holy site and, like Brand, insisted it was another step toward the
final redemption.“The completion of the ingathering of the exiles is
prostration [on the Temple Mount]. On the Ninth of Av, an opening was
created by God… and prostration was formally allowed on the Temple
Mount,” said Elyashiv.“Everything begins slowly. We are beginning to
build the infrastructure for the Temple.”Speaking on Army Radio on
Monday, Ben Gvir — a longtime proponent of Jewish prayer rights on the
Temple Mount predating his time in politics — insisted that Israeli law
does not discriminate between the religious rights of Jews and Muslims
at the Temple Mount, which is considered the holiest site in Judaism and
the third-holiest in Islam.“The policies on the Temple Mount allow
prayer, period,” Ben Gvir said. “You are allowed to pray; it’s illegal
to prevent you from praying.”Asked if he would put a synagogue on the
site if he could, he answered, “Yes, yes, yes, yes.”In response to Ben
Gvir’s comments, Netanyahu issued an oft-repeated statement insisting
that there was “no change to the official status quo on the Temple
Mount,” but avoided mentioning his ultranationalist coalition partner by
name.The unwritten status quo at the site in the past provided few
restrictions on Muslim prayer and access to the Temple Mount and its
Islamic holy sites, while non-Muslims, including Jews, were not allowed
to pray and could only visit during limited time slots via a single
entrance to the site.Police began allowing discreet Jewish prayer around
2018, although the restrictions on access to the site for non-Muslims
have remained in place.Israeli security officials view changes at the
Temple Mount as having the potential to set off mass unrest, as the
Temple Mount has been the scene of frequent clashes between Palestinian
protesters and Israeli security forces, and tensions at the disputed
compound have fueled past rounds of violence.Defense Minister Yoav
Gallant, who has increasingly clashed with Ben Gvir in recent months,
has accused the minister of endangering Israel with his comments.“Ben
Gvir’s actions endanger Israel’s national security and its international
standing,” Gallant wrote on X on Monday.Ben Gvir fired back, accusing
Gallant of “bowing to Hamas and dragging the State of Israel into a
reckless deal,” in reference to proposals for a hostage release deal and
ceasefire agreement with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.Times of Israel staff

Spanish PM to visit China amid EU trade standoff.
Madrid,
Aug 30 (AFP) Aug 30, 2024-Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will
visit China in September, his office said Friday, as Beijing and the
European Union are locked in a trade standoff over Chinese subsidies for
electric vehicles.Sanchez's office did not provide details for the
visit, which will run between September 7 and 12, but he is expected to
meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and other officials during his
trip.The Spanish premier met with Xi during his last visit to China in
March 2023, and took part in the Boao Forum for Asia -- similar to the
World Economic Forum held in Davos -- in China's Hainan province.That
visit came as Xi was trying to galvanise support for China's peace
proposal for Ukraine, and Spain -- the eurozone's fourth largest economy
-- was preparing to hold the rotating presidency of the European Union
during the second half of 2023.Sanchez's upcoming visit to China comes
after the European Commission, which oversees the bloc's trade policy,
announced last week that it planned to impose five-year import duties of
up to 36 percent on electric vehicles imported from China.The duties
are to counter what it says are unfair subsidies.Beijing responded by
launching a probe into EU subsidies of some dairy products imported into
China.That investigation will cover a range of items including fresh
cheese and curd, some milk and cream.

1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them,
When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man
of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon
his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not
warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall
deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow
not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and
take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but
his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself
in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his
heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him
into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal
with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And
strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left
him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen,
and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the
people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To
the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for
their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither
their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they
are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the
midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus
saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a
mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods
thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn
for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made
the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to
hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the
choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in
the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with
him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his
arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To
whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of
Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the
nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh
and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

earth, with them that go down into the pit.

earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have
they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They
have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her
graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the
sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet
have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put
in the midst of [them that be] slain.

27And they shall
not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which
are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid
their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their
bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the

once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their
disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they
prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves

among the slain.
26 Meshech and Tubal (RUSSIA) are there with all

27 They do not lie down with the fallen
warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose
swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their
bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the
living.
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.

SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel
had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second
angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the
way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey
and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my
message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the
angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I
saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria,
Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood
all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many
of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction –
men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the
great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the
remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children
of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final
judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the
final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the
Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those
countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken
in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no
more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

1,200 people were massacred, women were
horribly raped on Oct. 7' Harris says she won’t change US policy on
arming Israel, stresses need for hostage deal-VP: I’m ‘unwavering’ in
support for Israel, but how it defends itself matters; too many innocent
Palestinians have died; ending war will allow to move toward two-state
solution-By Jacob Magid-Today, 6:09 am-AUG 30,24
US Vice
President Kamala Harris said Thursday that she won’t change US President
Joe Biden’s policy of arming Israel, in her latest rejection of calls
to curb weapons shipments or end them completely.Harris was pressed on
the matter during a CNN interview with her running mate Tim Walz — her
first since becoming the Democratic party’s presidential nominee last
month.Highlighting calls by progressives to withhold weapons shipments
to Israel, CNN asked Harris whether she would take a different approach
to the Israel-Hamas war than Biden has. Interviewer Dana Bash didn’t
mention that Biden has, in fact, withheld one transfer of heavy bombs,
though, part of it was eventually released and all other shipments have
continued.Harris began her answer by pivoting, reiterating the remarks
she made in her speech at the Democratic National Convention last
week.“I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s
defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not going to
change,” Harris said.“But let’s take a step back. October 7 — 1,200
people were massacred, many young people who were simply attending a
music festival. Women were horribly raped,” the vice president
continued.Harris doesn't commit to any policy changes on Israel/Hamas
but says, "Israel has a right to defend itself … and how it does so
matters." pic.twitter.com/n4722VycmF— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 30,
2024 “As I said then, I say today: Israel has a right to defend itself.
We would,” she said.“And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent
Palestinians have been killed,” Harris added, referencing her concern
over Israel’s prosecution of the war — something she has been slightly
more vocal in Biden in emphasizing.The vice president then reiterated
her belief in the urgent need for a ceasefire and hostage release
agreement between Israel and Hamas. Indirect negotiations continued in
Doha this week, though the sides remained at odds regarding the
withdrawal of IDF troops from two key corridors: Philadelphi between
Egypt and Gaza and Netzarim, which divided the northern and southern
halves of the enclave.“This war must end, and we must get a deal that is
about getting the hostages out,” Harris stresses, noting that she has
met with the families of the eight American hostages. “Let’s get the
ceasefire done.”Pushed again on whether she would change the current
policy regarding weapons shipments, Harris responded, “No” before
quickly continuing her point about the need for a hostage deal.“When you
look at the significance of this to the families, to the people who are
living in that region — a deal is not only the right thing to do to end
this war but will unlock so much of what must happen next,” the vice
president said, not straying from her message.Harris on Israel/Gaza:"I
will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself""At the same
time, what has happened in Gaza is devastating""[I will work to make
sure] The Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity,
security, freedom, and self-determination" pic.twitter.com/Kkhc0lW8qJ—
Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) August 23, 2024-“I remain committed — since
I’ve been on October 8 — to what we must do to work toward a two-state
solution, where Israel is secure and — in equal measure — the
Palestinians have security and self-determination and dignity,” the
Democratic presidential nominee added.In her DNC speech last week,
Harris pledged that if she is elected in November, Israel will always
have the support it needs to defend itself.“Let me be clear: I will
always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always
ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said, drawing
thunderous applause from the tens of thousands in the United Center.The
line amounted to a rejection of a loud and heavily-covered fringe of
Democratic delegates and anti-Israel protesters outside of the party who
have been calling for an Israel arms embargo.Harris has not deviated
publicly from the Biden administration’s policies on Israel during her
time as vice president, although some have seen her rhetoric throughout
the war as more sharply emphasizing the plight of Palestinians.
New
School senate blocks funding to clubs in effort to demand Israel
‘divestment’Manhattan university student body’s announcement doesn’t
specify how it expects university to carry out divestment; school
indicates move will be circumvented-By Luke Tress Today, 4:03 am-AUG
30,24
New York Jewish Week via JTA — The student senate at The
New School voted to suspend funding for all student organizations in
protest of the university’s Israel policies.The University Student
Senate at the Manhattan school said that on Friday it had voted to
suspend all funding in order to demand “divestment from industries
implicated in military and police violence in Gaza and the West
Bank.”The statement added, “The USS voted and passed to halt all
external funding operations until the [university investment committee]
votes in favor of divestment.”At The New School, the student senate’s 12
members are responsible for disbursing funding to campus groups,
drawing from an $8 per semester fee from every student to fund programs
like the figure skating club and the printmaking club.The statement did
not specify how the student activists expected the university to carry
out divestment.
“This is not a duty we take lightly,” the senate
said. “We understand this leaves students with many questions and will
provide more information soon.”Persuading campus governments to withhold
funding from student groups in protest of Israel appears to be an
emerging tactic for pro-Palestinian activists, whose approaches are
evolving as a new school year begins with many of their demands from
last year unmet. The student government at the University of Michigan
has also vowed to block funding from student groups to demand
divestment.Michigan’s administration says it will circumvent the student
government if it carries out the pledge. At The New School, too, the
university said it was taking responsibility for allocating the funds
normally controlled by the senate, effectively nixing the senate’s
decision.“To ensure continued access and support for all students on
campus, we will temporarily transfer the responsibility of managing this
university fee to the Division of Student Success,” The New School said
in a statement. “This decision was made with careful consideration, as
this fee is crucial to the work of student leaders on campus.”The campus
chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine called the move “part and
parcel to the structure of z*onist violence globally,” and blamed
“z*onists within the New School Administration.”A New School university
spokesperson said the board of trustees postponed a vote on divestment
in June, based on a recommendation by the university’s Advisory
Committee on Investor Responsibility, which said it was looking into
“ways to divest from military industry and military surveillance
companies.” The committee aims to provide a proposal for divestment to
the board of trustees during a committee meeting next month.Founded in
1919, The New School, which is located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village,
has a long history of radical activism. In line with that tradition,
the university employed an anti-Zionist rabbinical student, Louisa
Solomon, last year to serve some Jewish students.The university
confirmed on Wednesday that Solomon was no longer with the university
because her one-year internship had finished.“Student Rabbi Solomon’s
engagement with The New School was intended to be temporary, and the
university is exploring ways to provide students with sustained clerical
and rabbinical support,” the university said.Pro-Palestinian activism
has swept across New York campuses, including the New School, since
Hamas’ Oct. 7 invasion of Israel and the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
Those tensions are reemerging with the start of the fall semester.The
university’s new president, Joel Towers, was repeatedly interrupted by
anti-Israel protesters during his first public address last week, the
New School Free Press reported.The New School spokesperson told the New
York Jewish Week that the university had been preparing for the upcoming
semester since classes ended in the spring. As part of those
preparations, the university is offering a new course, Socially
Responsible Investing: History, Theory, and Practice, that will be open
to all members of the university community for free.“The New School is
committed to providing a rigorous, equitable, and intellectually
challenging learning environment. We believe deeply in making space for
educational dialogue in our community to better understand complex and
challenging issues,” the university said in a statement.
Berlin
Holocaust memorial vandalized with antisemitic, pro-Palestinian
graffiti-‘Block of Women’ monument commemorating non-Jewish women who in
protested agains Nazis daubed with ‘Jews are committing genocide,’
‘Free Palestine,’ and Palestinian flagBy Jackie Hajdenberg Today, 3:50
am-AUG 30,24
JTA — A Berlin Holocaust memorial was vandalized
with pro-Palestinian and antisemitic graffiti, local police said
Thursday.The graffiti, sprayed across the sandstone monument, said “Jews
are committing genocide” in English. The words “Free Palestine,”
accompanied by the image of a Palestinian flag, were sprayed on the
ground below it. A local tour guide discovered the vandalism on
Wednesday, according to the Juedische Allgemeine, a German Jewish
publication.The incident is the latest in which Holocaust memorials and
Jewish sites have been hit with pro-Palestinian and antisemitic graffiti
since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7. Earlier this
summer, a Seattle Holocaust museum was tagged with pro-Palestinian
graffiti, and US synagogues have also been defaced with anti-Israel
messages. In the Netherlands last month, a statue of Anne Frank was
vandalized with spray paint, and in the fall a mural in Italy honoring
Frank was also damaged.Berlin police called the graffiti antisemitic,
and the European Jewish Congress condemned it. The State Security Police
agency is investigating.The Berlin monument, called the “Block of
Women,” designed by German Jewish artist Ingeborg Hunzinger and built in
1995, commemorates the non-Jewish women who in 1943 publicly protested
against the Nazis when their Jewish husbands and fathers were set to be
deported.“This monument honors the courageous women who, in 1943,
protested against the Nazi persecution of their Jewish husbands,” the
EJC said in a statement. “This outrageous disrespect of Shoah victims
doesn’t advance the Palestinian cause. It is simply
unacceptable.”Denkmal in der Rosenstraße in Berlin-Mitte.

(@Czupczik) August 28, 2024-The 1943 protest was led by non-Jewish
women, most of them married to Jewish men who were detained in a
building that had formerly functioned as the Jewish Welfare
Administration.Until that point, Jews in mixed marriages had not been
immediately targeted for deportation or murder by the Nazi regime, for
fear of antagonizing their non-Jewish relatives.More than 100 women
participated in the protests, which lasted for a week until the
approximately 2,000 men were released. The protest on Rosenstrasse was
the only open demonstration in the face of Nazi authorities on behalf of
Jews in wartime Germany, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum. The men were once again arrested and then deported to labor
camps shortly afterward. About 25 of them were deported to Auschwitz and
designated as laborers by the Gestapo.An inscription on the monument
reads: “The strength of civil disobedience; the vigor of love; overcomes
the violence of dictatorship; Give us our men back; Women were standing
here; defeating death; Jewish men were free.”
Families Forum: PM
takes every opportunity to thwart talks-Ministers back Netanyahu’s
demand for IDF to stay in Philadelphi Corridor in any deal-Gallant votes
against, Ben Gvir abstains, in largely symbolic vote after maps of
planned IDF presence were already shown to Hamas and mediators; demand
has impeded talks’ progress-By Jacob Magid-Today, 10:34 am-AUG 30,24
The
security cabinet voted Thursday to back Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s position in favor of maintaining Israeli military presence
along the Gaza-Egypt border as part of any potential ceasefire and
hostage release deal, a senior official in the premier’s office said.The
top panel of ministers was asked to approve a series of maps that the
Israel Defense Forces has drawn up, showing how Israel plans to keep its
troops deployed in the nine-mile narrow stretch known as the
Philadelphi Corridor. The maps have already been adopted by the US, the
official said, apparently referencing the “bridging proposal” that the
White House submitted earlier this month.The eight-to-one vote, with one
abstention, was all but symbolic since the maps had already been
submitted to Hamas and to mediators Egypt and the US.Bucking Israel’s
security establishment, Netanyahu presented the continued IDF deployment
in the Philadelphi Corridor as a new demand in the hostage negotiations
last month, slowing the talks, which had picked up momentum after Hamas
agreed to cave on its main demand for Israel to agree up-front to a
permanent ceasefire.In the Thursday night security cabinet meeting,
eight ministers voted in favor of Netanyahu’s position, while only
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant voted against it, representing the
security apparatus’s position.Far-right National Security Minister
Itamar Ben Gvir cast the vote’s lone abstention. A source close to Ben
Gvir was cited by Hebrew media as explaining this was because the
proposal included a gradual drop in the number of soldiers in case of a
deal, while he supports maintaining full military presence at the
corridor and in all of Gaza.The vote drew an outraged reaction from the
Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents relatives of many
of the remaining 107 hostages held by terrorists in Gaza.“After close to
a year of neglect, Netanyahu doesn’t miss a single opportunity to
ensure that there won’t be a deal,” the Forum said. “Not a day goes by
in which Netanyahu doesn’t take concrete action to jeopardize the return
home of all the hostages.”But the Tikva Forum, which represents some
hawkish hostage relatives, praised the decision and said IDF presence at
Philadelphi “creates highly significant pressure on Hamas that could
help return all the hostages home.”Netanyahu has insisted that remaining
in the Philadelphi Corridor is essential for preventing continued
weapons smuggling, which would allow for the revival of Hamas after the
war. This is despite the demand not featuring in a previous Israeli
proposal issued on May 27.The premier believes control of the border
zone is key to pressuring Hamas into signing a deal, Republican US
Senator Joni Ernst, who met Netanyahu this week as she led a US
congressional delegation to the Middle East, told Axios. She added she
found it unlikely that Israel would soon agree to withdraw its troops
from there.The US has urged Israel to compromise on the issue, while
also offering a bridging proposal that allows for a limited number of
soldiers to remain in the corridor, which both Hamas and mediator Egypt
have to date opposed, two Arab officials told The Times of Israel
earlier this week.According to the officials, the bridging proposal
over-catered to Israel’s demands and it has since been adapted.The
security establishment has pushed the government for more flexibility on
the Philadelphi issue, fearing Netanyahu’s stance will further drag out
the talks, risking the lives of the hostages, and arguing that Israel
would be able to return to the corridor if need be.Channel 12 news
reported Thursday that at the meeting in which the vote was eventually
held, Gallant presented a document presenting the security
establishment’s opinion that without a hostages-for-ceasefire deal,
Israel faced “imminent deterioration into a multifront war.”According to
the senior Prime Minister’s Office official who reported the vote’s
results, Netanyahu told ministers during the meeting that Hamas had been
able to carry out its October 7 onslaught because Israel didn’t have
control over the Philadelphi Corridor.Netanyahu stressed that by
maintaining control over the corridor, Israel will prevent another
attack of that nature from unfolding since Hamas won’t be able to re-arm
itself.He also argued that this stance will make a hostage deal more
likely because Hamas will see that it has no other choice but to
compromise on this issue, just as it did when it agreed to forgo its
demand for a permanent end to the war.In the proposal Hamas submitted
earlier this month, the terror group agreed to only have a six-week
ceasefire, during which the sides would negotiate the terms of
subsequent phases. While the offer envisions the mediators keeping
Israel and Hamas at the table, it does appear to provide Israel with the
ability to resume fighting if Hamas is deemed to be violating the terms
of the deal and not negotiating in good faith.Netanyahu at the Thursday
night meeting assailed the defense establishment, claiming it had
wrongly supported Israel’s so-called Disengagement from Gaza in 2005 —
which Netanyahu himself helped pass — as well as the withdrawal from
Lebanon in 2000 and the Oslo Accords of the 1990s.“Security officials
claimed that they would know how to deal with the first rocket [from
Gaza], but this did not happen after Hamas began raining fire on
Israel,” Netanyahu told the ministers, according to the statement from
an official in his office. Hamas had also been launching rockets at
Israel before the Disengagement.“Security officials also believed that
they would know how to deal with the withdrawal from Lebanon and, before
that, with the import of terrorist elements into Judea and Samaria as
part of the Oslo Accords,” Netanyahu said, using the West Bank’s
Biblical name. “These estimates were also wrong.”Separately, during
Thursday night’s meeting, the security cabinet was presented with the
preliminary results of an IDF review that found that most of the dozens
of hostages who are no longer alive were killed during the first six
months of the war, closer to the October 7 onslaught, and not in recent
months, the Israeli official says.That comes amid an uproar from hostage
families, who frequently claim that more of their loved ones could have
been brought back alive had the negotiations not dragged on for as long
as they have. Earlier this month, six hostages — who had been alive
until earlier this year — were returned to Israel in body bags.Times of

Head of Hamas in Jenin, 2
other operatives killed in IDF drone strike, shootout-Wissam Hazem shot
dead by undercover forces amid ongoing major operation in northern West
Bank; Palestinians say death toll rises to 20-By Emanuel Fabian-Today,
1:19 pm-AUG 30,24
The commander of Hamas’s military wing in the
West Bank city of Jenin was killed along with two other operatives in
clashes and drone strikes on Friday morning, the Israel Defense Forces,
Shin Bet security agency, and police said.According to the military,
amid an ongoing operation in the northern West Bank, troops spotted a
cell of gunmen in a car in the Jenin area town of Zababdeh.Inside the
car was Wissam Hazem, the head of Hamas’s terror network in
Jenin.Undercover Border Police officers opened fire at the car, killing
Hazem, while the other two gunmen fled, the joint statement said. A
short while later, a drone struck and killed the pair.The military
released footage of the incident.According to Israel, Hazem was involved
in numerous shooting and bombing attacks and was advancing additional
attacks.The other two gunmen, killed by the drone, were named by the IDF
as Maysara Masharqa and Arafat Amer.The military said they were Hamas
members working under Hazem and were also involved in shooting attacks,
including against Israeli communities near the West Bank security
barrier.Inside the car and on the bodies of the terror operatives, the
IDF says it recovered assault rifles, handguns and other equipment.No
troops were hurt in the incident.The drone strikes came amid an ongoing
large-scale operation in the northern West Bank launched early
Wednesday. The military has been operating mostly in the West Bank city
of Tulkarem, but also in Jenin and the Far’a camp near Tubas.According
to Palestinian media, the death toll since the start of the operation
had risen to 20 as of Friday morning. The IDF has said that it has
killed at least 17 gunmen.Early Thursday, Israeli forces killed five
Palestinian gunmen who were hiding in a mosque in the West Bank city of
Tulkarem, including the commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s
local wing in the Nur Shams camp, the military said.Another founding
member of Islamic Jihad’s local wing in Tulkarem was detained.The large
operation, involving the Kfir Brigade, the Duvdevan Commando Unit,
combat engineers and Border Police, was expected to last at least
several days, military sources said Wednesday.The ongoing operation was
focused on dismantling a Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror
network in the Tulkarem area, as well as in Jenin and the Far’a camp
near Tubas.While the army has said it has seen a relative decline in
terror coming from the northern West Bank in recent months, it has also
seen continued attempts by terror operatives to launch attacks.After a
series of smaller operations in the northern West Bank, the IDF decided
to launch a more extensive operation, targeting three areas at once —
Jenin, Tulkarem and Far’a — where terror operatives were seen as
operating together, military sources said.The large-scale operation was
also launched in part following an intended suicide bombing in Tel Aviv
earlier this month.The IDF has carried out several drone strikes amid
the operation. In the past 10 months, the IDF has carried out more than
60 airstrikes in the West Bank, using drones, attack helicopters and
fighter jets.A Border Police officer was lightly hurt and an IDF soldier
was moderately wounded amid the operations on Wednesday and
Thursday.Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have soared since October
7, when terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel in a
Hamas-led attack, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 251
hostages.Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,850 wanted
Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,960 affiliated
with Hamas.According to the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry,
more than 670 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time. The
IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of
fire, rioters who clashed with troops or terrorists carrying out
attacks.During the same period, 27 people, including Israeli security
personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West
Bank. Another five members of the security forces were killed in clashes
with terror operatives in the West Bank.
Seized Hamas documents
show terror group inflated its support rates, IDF says-Actual support
for Hamas, Sinwar and Oct. 7 said to be far lower than published; army
says influential Palestinian polling firm uninvolved in scam; lead
pollster doubts claims-By Emanuel Fabian and Gianluca Pacchiani-Today,
9:34 am-AUG 30,24
The Israel Defense Forces released Hamas
documents on Thursday that it said showed Hamas had secretly falsified
its levels of public support in polls conducted by the Ramallah-based
Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR).The IDF said
the documents do not prove that PCPSR was cooperating with Hamas, but
rather that the terror group was conducting clandestine actions to
fraudulently influence the results of the polls.PCPSR, which is based in
the West Bank city of Ramallah, is run by prominent Palestinian
pollster Khalil Shikaki.In the Gaza Strip, the firm uses Gazan data
collectors to conduct surveys in residential areas and shelters for
displaced Palestinians, and it is thought that Hamas was able to take
advantage of this to manipulate the results later sent back to
Shikaki.The alleged Hamas security apparatus documents (English
translated version), which the military said were found in Gaza, showed
the results of a PCPSR poll from March 2024, with both the alleged
original data and the falsified numbers.One document, under “corrected
result” — the figure that was published — gave Hamas’s approval rating
in Gaza as 62 percent, compared with what was termed the “actual result”
of 31.9% support; Hamas Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar’s “corrected” approval
rating as 52%, up from 22.1% “actual” support; and there was a 71%
“corrected” approval rating for the October 7 onslaught, up from an
“actual” 30.7%.“The survey results have been revised according to the
practices followed in previous surveys, and the results have been sent
by the source to the center in Ramallah,” read the document.“Note: The
attached actual survey results are confidential and intended for limited
distribution,” it added.According to the IDF, the documents it
recovered in Gaza “prove an extensive effort by the terror organization
to falsify the results of [the PCPSR] polls, to create a false
representation of the Gazan public’s support for the terror
organization, especially after the massacre [in Israel] on October
7.“These documents are part of a systematic process, the purpose of
which is to disguise the collapse of the organization, and the collapse
of public support for it,” the IDF claimed.The military said the
documents “emphasize the importance that the Hamas terror organization
sees in the results of the polls, to falsify Palestinian support and to
influence the Palestinian public and Arab and international public
opinion.”Prominent Palestinian pollster Khalil Shikaki, who runs the
polling firm, said it was “highly unlikely” that Hamas falsified the
results of the polls conducted in Gaza.“Our Gaza team worked with us for
more than 20 years. But we will investigate all claims as part of a
commitment to ensure full quality control,” Shikaki told The Times of
Israel.Shikaki maintained that the IDF claim was part of a “battle over
narratives” between the military and the terror group. “The center
doesn’t involve itself in politics, which is how I view this: The army
against Hamas in the battle over narratives,” he said.The documents
shared by the IDF said the falsified poll results were shown “as-is on
Al Jazeera” after Hamas reached out to “Brother Tamer Al-Misshal,” a
Doha-based Palestinian host for the channel.Alongside the inflation of
Hamas’s approval rating, the documents showed an occasional downgrading
in support for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, head of
the terror group’s secularist rival Fatah, which rules the West Bank.In a
poll question on who Gazans would vote for in a potential election
between Abbas and Hamas’s then-chief Ismail Haniyeh, the documents gave
Abbas a 22% “corrected result” — down from a 25.8% “actual result” — and
Haniyeh 48% of the “corrected vote,” up from an “actual” 21.3%.In other
areas of the survey, however, support for Abbas was revised modestly
upward. Thus, when respondents were asked who would rule Gaza after the
war, “PA led by Abbas” received a “corrected” 19%, up from an “actual”
18.2%, according to the documents the army released. Hamas, meanwhile,
got a “corrected” 52%, up from an “actual” 36.8%, while the IDF received
a “corrected” 1%, down from an “actual” 11.5%.Gaza has been devastated
in the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack, which saw thousands of
terrorists storm southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251
hostages.The Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 40,000
people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the
fighting so far. The toll, which cannot be verified, does not
distinguish between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed
some 17,000 combatants in battle and another 1,000 terrorists inside
Israel on October 7.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Jordan said concerned IDF ops in West Bank, settler violence may lead Palestinians to cross border in search of refuge-AUG 30,24
Jordan
is concerned that Palestinians fleeing intensified IDF operations and
extremist settler violence in the West Bank will seek to enter the
Hashemite Kingdom, the Qatari-owned Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news outlet
reports.According to the report, Jordanian officials fear that as a
result of Palestinians crossing into Jordan, sky-high regional tensions
will escalate further, leading to increased security risks in the
country and across the region as a whole.Earlier this month, King
Abdullah II warned that Jordan would “not allow any escalation in the
region to be at the expense of Jordanians or Jordan’s security and
safety.”Echoing the king’s comments, a Jordanian security expert tells
Al-Araby that “any displacement of the residents of the West Bank will
pose an existential threat to Jordan, and is absolutely rejected by
Jordan and the Palestinian people.”There are also concerns among senior
Jordanians that by leaving the West Bank, Palestinians could become
permanently displaced, leaving their land empty and at risk of being
taken over by settlers, the report states.This possibility, combined
with recent statements by Israeli government ministers that threaten the
status quo on the Temple Mount, would destroy “any possibility of a
political solution based on the two-state solution, which harms Jordan’s
predominant interest in establishing an independent Palestinian state,”
posits a Jordanian analyst.
Gaza protests already marring
kickoff of fall semester at several US campuses-4 arrested at University
of Michigan ‘die-in,’ but none of them students; 150 protesters stage
demonstration against Israel in campus dining hall at Cornell on first
day of class-By Andrew Lapin Today, 3:42 am-AUG 30,24
JTA —
University of Michigan security broke up an anti-Israel student “die-in”
demonstration Wednesday and police arrested four people, in the latest
sign that campus activism across the United States is resuming as the
fall semester begins.None of the four people arrested were students, a
university spokesperson told the press. One is a temporary university
employee. At least one arrested protester got into a physical
altercation with police, according to the Michigan Daily, the student
newspaper.The protest was backed by a pro-Palestinian student coalition
that includes the university’s chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish
Voice for Peace and was staged during a popular outdoor showcase for
fall student activities. Members of the collective claimed on Instagram
that one student had been arrested and later released.Many universities,
including Michigan, have said they will enforce rules surrounding
demonstrations more assertively this term. The school agreed to change
its enforcement policies after the U.S. Department of Education
determined that it had violated the civil rights of its Jewish students
by not doing a better job disciplining protesters. Jewish and
free-speech groups had also expressed concern that the demonstrations,
and subsequent mass arrests, created a hostile environment on campuses
in the spring.But in Ann Arbor and elsewhere, groups pushing for
divestment from Israel have also returned to campus determined to
continue their activism.The evening before the arrests, Michigan’s
student government tentatively passed a budget for fall student
activities after its student body president was elected on a platform of
denying funding to all student groups until the university divests from
Israel.Arrests made at the University of Michigan after police
mobilized to stop pro-Palestine campus takeover during The Diag Festival

2024-The scene at Michigan was the most striking example of volatile
campus protests returning with the start of classes, but other campuses
have also already encountered controversy surrounding Israel and Gaza. A
pro-Palestinian flyer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
referenced the Mapping Project, a website targeting Boston-area Jewish
institutions that has been condemned as antisemitic by a host of Jewish
groups and politicians. The project has also been disavowed by the
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.The incident prompted
condemnation from MIT’s Jewish president, Sally Kornbluth. Kornbluth
faced intense blowback last year over antisemitism at MIT but has held
onto her job, the only Ivy League president to appear before Congress
who remains in place.“I believe the Mapping Project promotes
antisemitism,” Kornbluth wrote in a letter to students this week. She
added, “I have heard from students who felt the flyers sent the message
that they are not welcome at MIT. Do we really want to draw lines on Day
One and risk making any of our newest students question whether they
belong here?”And on the first day of classes at Cornell University on
Monday, around 150 protesters staged a demonstration against Israel in a
campus dining hall. They unfurled signs reading “If Not Now, When?” in
Hebrew, a reference to a famous quote by Hillel, an ancient Jewish sage.
At one point the protesters were joined by unionized university
employees striking over pay. No arrests were made, but the university
condemned spray-painted blood on an administrative building.Some
schools, including Harvard, preemptively warned their students this week
against participating in disruptive protests. Yet even at schools that
have taken extra steps to gird their campuses against unrest, a fresh
round of protests is still expected.At a consortium of California
universities, pro-Palestinian activists planned a coordinated action
Thursday. A masked protest group at Pomona College, a private school
near Los Angeles, shut down its school’s convocation Tuesday. The event
was switched to streaming; no arrests were made, despite the school
warning ahead of time that violators of its mask ban would be
disciplined.New kinds of student protests seem designed to flaunt their
school’s restrictions: After a federal judge ruled that a university
can’t allow protesters to restrict Jewish students’ movement through
campus, student protesters at Sonoma State University set up fake
Israeli “checkpoints” and blocked student access through
campus.Conservative political pushback to the protests is also
mobilizing again. This week 24 Republican state attorneys general warned
Brown University not to move forward with a plan to vote on divestment
from Israel in October, saying that it could lead to the states cutting
off all business with Brown in accordance with their laws against
boycotting Israel. Brown had agreed to the vote as part of negotiations
with its pro-Palestinian encampment movement in the spring.Some campuses
that were hotbeds of protest last year have so far remained relatively
calm. At Columbia University and Barnard College in New York City, where
students have begun moving in but classes have not yet begun, small
groups of activists offered leaflets denouncing Israel to passersby on
Broadway, the city street separating the campuses, but staged no
protests on Thursday. Both campuses are closed to people unaffiliated
with the schools to mute the effect of outsiders on activism there.
IDF:
Hamas’s Rafah Brigade has collapsed, 80% of border tunnels
neutralized-Islamic Jihad intelligence commander killed in strike;
military says documents found in Gaza show terror group falsified
prominent polling results-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 1:38 am-AUG 30,24
The
Hamas terror group’s Rafah Brigade had “collapsed” as a result of the
Israel Defense Forces’s ongoing offensive in the city in the southern
Gaza Strip, military sources said on Thursday.The remarks come a week
after Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the Rafah Brigade had been
defeated.Hamas’s Rafah Brigade was made up of four battalions: Yabna
(South), Shaboura (North), Tel Sultan (West), and East Rafah. It had
been considered one of the terror group’s final strongholds in the Strip
until the IDF’s 162nd Division launched its offensive there in May.Amid
the fighting in Rafah, the military has seen Hamas operatives
increasingly trying to escape from tunnels and flee north to the
Israeli-designated humanitarian zone, instead of fighting troops. IDF
troops have successfully been ambushing Hamas gunmen in the area who
have tried to flee, the military sources added.The IDF has said it has
killed more than 1,000 terror operatives in Rafah amid the ongoing
offensive, and that many gunmen fled with the Palestinian population as
the operation began.In addition to fighting in the city itself, the
operation in Rafah has also focused on the Philadelphi Corridor — the
Egypt-Gaza border area, where IDF combat engineers have discovered
dozens of tunnels, some of them cross-border.Combat engineers have been
meticulously sweeping the entire Gaza-Egypt border for tunnels while
expanding the corridor by demolishing structures within about 800 meters
(875 yards) of the border.Such tunnels have been used by Hamas for
smuggling, although military sources have said that the terror group in
recent years has been smuggling weapons via the overground Rafah
Crossing, rather than using tunnels. The crossing was captured by the
IDF on the first day of the offensive in Rafah.As of Thursday, the IDF
said that around 80 percent of Hamas’s tunnels along the Philadelphi
Corridor had been neutralized. More than 150 tunnels have been
discovered along the corridor, Gallant said last week.Earlier Thursday,
the IDF said a Palestinian Islamic Jihad intelligence officer was killed
in a drone strike in Rafah.According to the military, Osama Gadallah
served as a commander in Islamic Jihad’s military intelligence unit, and
he also participated in the October 7 onslaught.The IDF said that
dozens more gunmen were killed by troops with the 162nd Division in
Rafah in the past day.Further north, in Khan Younis and on the outskirts
of Deir al-Balah, the IDF said troops with the 98th Division also
killed dozens of gunmen in clashes and by directing drone strikes over
the previous 24 hours.In the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center,
reservists with the 252nd Division directed a drone strike on a cell of
gunmen, while carrying out pinpoint raids in the area, the military
said.In addition, the Israeli Air Force struck more than 40 targets
across Gaza in the past day, which the IDF said included buildings used
by Hamas and other positions used by terror operatives to open fire at
troops.-Falsified polling results-On Thursday, the IDF revealed Hamas
documents recovered from the Strip that it said showed the terror group
has been secretly falsifying the results of polls conducted by the
Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR).The IDF said
the documents do not prove that PCPSR was cooperating with Hamas, but
rather that the terror group was conducting clandestine actions to
fraudulently influence the results of the polls.PCPSR, which is based in
the West Bank city of Ramallah, is run by prominent Palestinian
pollster Khalil Shikaki.In the Gaza Strip, the firm uses Gazan data
collectors to conduct surveys in residential areas and shelters for
displaced Palestinians, and it is thought that Hamas was able to take
advantage of this to manipulate the results later sent back to
Shikaki.In a document released by the IDF, a letter written by one Hamas
official to another read: “Following the subject, we would like to
inform you that we have completed the preparation of Research Survey No.
91. The survey results have been revised according to the practices
followed in previous surveys, and the results have been sent by the
source to the center in Ramallah.”According to the IDF, the documents it
recovered in Gaza “prove an extensive effort by the terror organization
to falsify the results of [the PCPSR] polls, to create a false
representation of the Gazan public’s support for the terror
organization, especially after the massacre [in Israel] on October
7.“These documents are part of a systematic process, the purpose of
which is to disguise the collapse of the organization, and the collapse
of public support for it,” the IDF claimed.The military said the

with both the original data and the falsified numbers.The published poll
showed 71% of Palestinians supporting the October 7 Hamas attack, while
the IDF said the actual data showed support from just 30.7% of
respondents.“The documents show that the falsified results are in favor
of the organization and its leaders, with an emphasis on Yahya Sinwar,”
the military said.In response, Shikaki said it was “highly unlikely”
that Hamas falsified the results of the polls conducted in Gaza.“Our
Gaza team worked with us for more than 20 years. But we will investigate
all claims as part of a commitment to ensure full quality control,”
Shikaki told The Times of Israel.Shikaki maintained that the IDF claim
is part of a “battle over narratives” between the military and the
terror group. “The center doesn’t involve itself in politics, which is
how I view this, the army against Hamas in the battle over narratives,”

Iran is
further increasing stockpile of highly enriched uranium, UN report
finds-Atomic agency document says regime has 164.7 kilograms of material
enriched to 60%, up by 22.6 kilos since May-By STEPHANIE LIECHTENSTEIN
29 August 2024, 11:48 pm
VIENNA (AP) — Iran has further increased
its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels in
defiance of international demands, a confidential report by the United
Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Thursday.The report by the International
Atomic Energy Agency, seen by The Associated Press, said that as of
August 17, Iran has 164.7 kilograms (363.1 pounds) of uranium enriched
up to 60 percent. That’s an increase of 22.6 kilograms (49.8 pounds)
since the IAEA’s last report in May.Uranium enriched up to 60% purity is
just a short technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. By
the IAEA’s definition, around 42 kilograms (92.5 pounds) of uranium
enriched to 60% is the amount at which creating one atomic weapon is
theoretically possible — if the material is enriched further, to 90%.The
IAEA chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, has previously warned that Tehran
has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make
“several” nuclear bombs if it chose to do so. He has acknowledged the UN
agency cannot guarantee that none of Iran’s centrifuges may have been
peeled away for clandestine enrichment.Thursday’s report is the latest
low in spiraling relations between Tehran and the IAEA. It follows a
June 6 resolution by the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors that censured
Iran for failing to cooperate fully with the Vienna-based agency.Iran’s
mission at the UN in New York did not immediately respond to a request
from the AP for comment. There were also no immediate comments from
Tehran on the IAEA report.Iran’s 2015 landmark nuclear deal with world
powers had put limits on its nuclear program — which the West fears
could be used for making nuclear weapons and Tehran insists is only for
peaceful purposes — while lifting punitive economic sanctions imposed on
Iran.But the deal collapsed after the Trump administration in 2018
pulled the United States out of the agreement, leading Iran to abandon
all limits the deal had put on its program, and enrich uranium to up to
60% purity.Meanwhile, surveillance cameras installed by the IAEA have
also been disrupted and Iran has barred some of the Vienna-based
agency’s most experienced inspectors. Iranian officials also have
increasingly threatened that they could pursue atomic weapons.The IAEA
report further says that Tehran has also not reconsidered its September
decision to ban the agency’s inspectors from monitoring its nuclear
program and that IAEA surveillance cameras remain disrupted.The agency
said it had requested an August 8 letter that Iran provide access to a
centrifuge manufacturing site in the city of Isfahan, to enable the
agency to service its cameras, but received no reply.Additionally, the
report says Iran has still not provided answers to the nuclear
watchdog’s years-long investigation about the origin and current
location of man-made uranium particles found at two locations that
Tehran has failed to declare as potential nuclear sites, known as
Varamin and Turquzabad.The IAEA report comes just days after Iran’s
supreme leader opened the door to renewed negotiations with the US over
his country’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, declaring there was “no
harm” in engaging with the “enemy.”Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s remarks on
Tuesday set clear red lines for any talks taking place under the new
government of reformist Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and
reiterated his warnings that Washington was not to be trusted.The IAEA
report said that as of August 17, Iran’s overall stockpile of enriched
uranium stood at 5,751.8 kilograms (12,681 pounds).“The continued
production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only
non-nuclear weapon state to do so, adds to the agency’s concern,” it
concluded.The report acknowledged that before the June elections in
Iran, the IAEA was told “that further engagement with the agency would
be determined by the new government.”After Pezeshkian’s win, the IAEA
congratulated him and offered to send the agency’s chief to Tehran “to
re-launch the dialogue and cooperation between the agency and Iran,” the
report said. But while the newly elected Iranian president confirmed
“his agreement to meet” with the IAEA chief, nothing has moved forward
on this since.The IAEA report also said the agency verified that Tehran
had completed the installation of eight cascades of IR-6 centrifuges at
its underground plant at Fordo. Those additional eight cascades are not
operational yet, meaning they are not yet enriching uranium.Also, Iran
has completed the installation of 10 out of 18 planned cascades of IR-2m
centrifuges at the underground site in Natanz, and the installation of
another two cascades was ongoing there, it said. At the same site, Iran
has increased the number of operating cascades of IR-2m centrifuges by
six to a total of 15, and cascades of IR-4 centrifuges by nine to a
total of 12.Under the 2015 deal, Iran was allowed to install just
first-generation centrifuges. The more advanced model of centrifuges
enriches uranium at a much faster pace than the baseline IR-1
centrifuges.The IAEA report is likely to add to the wider Middle East
concerns, with tensions between Iran and Israel hitting a new high since
the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel and the outbreak of the
Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.Tehran launched an unprecedented
drone and missile attack on Israel in April after years of a shadow war
between the two countries reached a climax with Israel’s apparent attack
on what Iran said was a consular building in Syria, which killed two
Iranian generals and others. The assassination in Tehran of Hamas leader
Ismail Haniyeh also prompted Iran to threaten to retaliate against
Israel.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Houthis
said to okay salvage of burning tanker after setting off bombs on
ship-Footage released by Iran-backed group shows detonation of at least 6
explosive devices on deck, sparking blaze that now threatens to
decimate Red Sea ecosystem; EU says no leak yet-By Agencies 29 August
2024, 11:48 pm
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have agreed to allow
tugboats and rescue ships to assist a Greek-flagged oil tanker that it
set ablaze in the Red Sea, Iran said late Wednesday, amid concerns that
it could begin leaking oil, causing a massive environmental
catastrophe.However, the Houthis, who are believed to have blocked an
earlier attempt to salvage the vessel, did not offer specific details.
On Thursday the group released footage of its fighters setting off bombs
aboard the tanker after it was abandoned, and a European Union mission
said the ship was not yet leaking oil, as diplomats scrambled to find a
solution for the looming environmental disaster.The Sounion carried some
1 million barrels of oil when the Houthis initially attacked it on
August 21 with small arms fire, projectiles and a drone boat.A French
destroyer operating as part of Operation Aspides rescued the Sounion’s
crew of 25 Filipinos and Russians, as well as four private security
personnel, and took them to nearby Djibouti.Days later, monitors
reported that several fires had broken out on the ship, apparently the
result of Houthi bombs planted on it.Iran’s UN mission said Wednesday
that following the fire on the Sounion “and the subsequent environmental
hazards,” several countries it didn’t identify reached out to the
Houthis “requesting a temporary truce for the entry of tugboats and
rescue ships into the incident area.”“Ansar Allah has consented to
this,” the Iranian mission said, using another name for the Houthis.It
offered no further details, nor did the Houthis, who have repeatedly
attacked ships in the Red Sea since the outbreak of war in Gaza,
claiming they are doing so in support of Hamas.Houthi spokesman Mohammed
Abdul-Salam, in comments carried by the Houthi-controlled SABA news
agency, said late Wednesday that the attack showed how serious the
rebels took their campaign against shipping.“After several international
parties contacted us, especially the European ones, they were allowed
to tow the burning oil ship Sounion,” Abdul-Salam said, without giving
further details.On Tuesday, the Pentagon said an unidentified “third
party” that tried to send two tugboats to the stricken Sounion was
blocked by the Houthis.Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters that
the Houthis’ actions demonstrate “their blatant disregard for not only
human life, but also for the potential environmental catastrophe that
this presents.”Western countries and the United Nations have warned any
oil spill from the Sounion could devastate the coral reefs and wildlife
that call the Red Sea home.The EU’s Red Sea naval mission Aspides said
on Thursday that no oil spill has been detected on the Greek-flagged oil
tanker Sounion in the Red Sea, despite “multiple fires” detected on the
main deck of the vessel.It said the Sounion was still anchored and not
drifting.Greece’s foreign minister said on Thursday he had been in touch
with his Saudi counterpart as part of intensive efforts to avert an
environmental disaster.“There is a significant diplomatic endeavor
underway among countries and Greece, so we can avert any potential
ecological disaster,” George Gerapetritis said on arrival at an informal
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels.The attack on the Sounion
capped the most serious attack in weeks by the Houthis in their campaign
disrupting the $1 trillion in goods that pass through the Red Sea each
year over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, as well as halting
some aid shipments to conflict-ravaged Sudan and Yemen.In footage
released Thursday by the group, masked Houthi fighters carrying
Kalashnikov-style rifles can be seen boarding the Sounion after it was
abandoned, then rigging explosives over hatches on its deck leading to
the oil tankers below.At least six simultaneous blasts could be seen in
the footage as the fighters were heard chanting their motto: “God is the
greatest; death to America; death to Israel; curse the Jews; victory to
Islam.”The US State Department did not immediately respond to a request
for comment over the new Houthi footage.Ryder said Tuesday that the
Sounion appeared to be leaking oil. A US official, speaking on the
condition of anonymity, later said the ship was leaking an unidentified
substance.A million-barrel oil spill would be one of the largest from a
ship in history, threatening to destroy the area’s fishing industry and
regional ecosystems, government officials have warned.The Houthis in
their campaign have seized one vessel and sunk two in the campaign that
also killed four sailors. Other missiles and drones have either been
intercepted by a US-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach
their targets.The rebels maintain that they target ships linked to
Israel, the US or the UK to force Israel to quit its war against Hamas
in Gaza, launched when Hamas-led terrorists carried out an unprecedented
attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 251.Many of the
ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including
some bound for Iran.In the case of the Sounion, the Houthis have claimed
the Greek company operating the vessel had other ships serving Israel.
The Joint Maritime Information Center, a multinational organization
overseen by the US Navy, assessed that the Sounion “has no direct
association with Israel, US or UK within the company business structure”
though other ships had “visited Israel in the recent past.”
China Achieves 12th Successful Sea-Based Satellite Launch-by Simon Mansfield.
Sydney,
Australia (SPX) Aug 30, 2024-Galactic Energy, a private rocket
manufacturer based in Beijing, successfully completed the third
sea-based launch of its Ceres 1 carrier rocket on Thursday afternoon.To
date, China has conducted 12 sea-based launches, utilizing four
different rocket types: Long March 11, Smart Dragon 3, Ceres 1, and
Gravity 1."The company said in a news release that the rocket blasted
off at 1:22 pm from a mobile launch platform - a modified deck barge -
in the Yellow Sea off the eastern province of Shandong and then sent six
satellites into a sun synchronous orbit about 535 kilometers above the
Earth.""The satellites, from multiple operators, will be used to collect
meteorological data, demonstrate optical remote-sensing technologies
and collect hyper-spectral remote-sensing data," according to Galactic
Energy.Galactic Energy has now conducted 15 orbital launches with the
Ceres 1 model, significantly surpassing other private competitors. These
missions have successfully placed 54 commercial satellites into
orbit.The first sea-based launch of the Ceres 1 occurred in September
2023 off the coast of Shandong, placing four Tianqi satellites into
space, marking Galactic Energy as the first Chinese private company to
launch a rocket at sea.The second sea-based launch took place in May,
also successfully deploying four satellites.The Ceres 1 rocket stands
about 20 meters tall with a diameter of 1.4 meters and primarily
utilizes solid propellant. With a liftoff weight of 33 metric tons, it
is capable of sending a 300-kilogram satellite or several satellites
with a combined weight of 300 kg into a 500-km sun-synchronous orbit, or
payloads of 350 kg into a low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 200 km.
