| Amsterdam mayor: Netanyahu ICC comments hurt fight against anti-Semitism | | Toby Axelrod - Times of Israel - Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema, a
former leader of the Dutch Green Left party, criticized Netanyahu’s
recent statement that the Netherlands-based International Criminal
Court has made “anti-Semitic edicts” when the court decided last
month that it had jurisdiction to prosecute
Israelis for alleged war crimes in Gaza in 2014. “If someone says
for political gain that a legal investigation by the International
Criminal Court of a state actor in Gaza is anti-Semitism, then you
deeply undervalue the meaning [of] anti-Semitism and the dark
outcomes of anti-Semitism nowadays and in history,” Halsema said
Tuesday during her video address in the Mayors Summit Against Anti-
Semitism, a virtual conference hosted by the German city of
Frankfurt with the US-based Combat Anti-Semitism Movement. The
Israeli Ambassador to the Netherlands expressed his surprise and
disapppointment with the Mayor`s statement. Until now, the
Government of Israel was used to international forums dealing with
Anti-Semitism to endorse its policies rather than criticize them...[ak] | 18/3/2021 |

| US Palestinian activist defeats Israeli “defamation” lawsuit | | Nora Barrows-Friedman - EI - "In a significant victory for free speech, a California
court has ruled in favor of a Palestinian American activist who was sued for
defamation by a former Israeli soldier over a Facebook post. The suit was
explicitly meant to bully, silence and smear activists for Palestinian rights" [ry] | 15/3/2021 |

| Help Gaza breathe! Covid-19 rampages in Gaza, help equip Haifa Hospital! | | A resident of a kibbutz on the Gaza border, who chose to remain anonymous, writes:
More than a hundred days of war, and I’m at the kibbutz again.
I haven’t slept here since October 7th. When I left it was still warm outside. Now, I’m wearing a sweater and still shivering. The Kibbutz is rather empty, but not quiet. There’re sounds of work, army vehicles, and especially loud cannons.
Even us kibbutz residents, who’re used to boom sounds, jump from them occasionally. There`s a new scent in the air. Smoke, gunpowder and something else I can’t identify. It’s bad, the kind of smell animals avoid.
I think that with all the news, the television, the tiktoks and tweets, we sometimes forget about simple things, like the human body. How it shivers when it’s cold, gets hungry when it’s lacking food. Tenses up when a bomb falls. It’s always fighting to hold on, eventually breaking down. For the body it’s only a matter of time. | 11/3/2021 |

| Write to Congress: IHRA is the wrong way to fignt antisemitism! | | Sarah - IfNotNowRight - The self-appointed leaders of the American
Jewish community are lobbying members of Congress behind closed
doors in a campaign to permanently codify the controversial IHRA
working definition of antisemitism — which does more to shield the
Israeli government from accountability than make American Jews safe.
The IHRA working definition is a tool to shield the Israeli
government from accountability. It’s part of the long-term strategy
by the political establishment and self-appointed American Jewish
leaders to shut down criticism of Israeli policy, target organizers
of color, and support Israel’s ongoing violation of Palestinians’
basic human rights. The IHRA definition is vague and intentionally
blurs the lines between legitimate criticism of Israeli policy and
antisemitism. Already, the IHRA definition been abused to silence
students and Palestinian rights activists in places like Canada and
the UK. [ak] | 11/3/2021 |

| Jerusalem Section of al-Walajeh under Threat of Forced Displacement | | Ir Amim and Bimkom - Alert - Israel has been gradually confiscating al-Walajeh lands and detaching it from the Palestinian space around it. While its northern segment is situated within the Jerusalem municipal borders, the construction of the Separation Barrier between 2010 and 2017 around three sides of the village turned it into a nearly isolated enclave. The barrier severed it from the rest of the city, while likewise separating it from some 1200 dunams of the village`s agricultural lands now located on the Israeli side of the barrier. In tandem, these lands were declared by the Israeli Authorities as the Nahal Refaim National Park, a form of “touristic settlement,” which would serve to create Israeli territorial contiguity between Jerusalem and the Har Gilo settlement (part of the Gush Etzion bloc), constituting another link in the de facto annexation of "Greater Jerusalem."

| Pro-BDS professor rumored frontrunner for Israel’s most prestigious prize | | Batya Jerenberg - World Israel News - In May 2019, the Bundestag
passed an advisory resolution calling on Germany’s regional and
local governments to deny public funding or space to any person or
institution that supports or identifies with the BDS movement. A few
weeks later, some 240 mostly Jewish and Israeli scholars, condemned
resolution, denied that BDS was anti-Semitic and expressed concern
that the resolution curtailed the right of freedom of speech. One of
these was Prof. Oded Goldreich of the Weizmann Institute, a well
authority in cryptography and computational complexity theory, who
the Knuth Prize in 2017 for outstanding contributions to the
foundations of computer science. Hearing that Prof. Goldreich was
about to be nominated for this year`s Israel Prize in the category
of Mathematics and Computer Science, Education Minister Yoav Galant
angrily demanded that Nominating Committee rescind its decision,
since "a supporter of BDS was unworthy to receive the Prize".
Legally, the Minister has no standing in the matter, the Nominating
Committee being completely autonomous.[ak]
