Der neue Botschafter in Israel - Berlin schickt einen Profi der Diplomatie Inge Günther - Iran-Frage, Palästina-Konflikt oder syrischer Bürgerkrieg: In Israel Diplomat zu sein, ist eine Herausforderung. Clemens von Goetze vertritt künftig die deutschen Interessen in Tel Aviv. Ein Porträt des neuen Botschafters.

Tel Aviv - Für einen ruhigen Diplomatenposten eignet sich Tel Aviv nicht gerade. Und der neue deutsche Botschafter in Israel ist dafür auch nicht gemacht. Clemens von Goetze, 51, ist ein außenpolitisch versierter Kopf. Einer, der sich auskennt in allen heißen Themenfeldern im Nahen und Mittleren Osten, die immer auch Israel tangieren. Ob Iran-Frage, Palästina-Konflikt oder syrischer Bürgerkrieg – von Goetze, der seine Karriere vor 25 Jahren im Auswärtigen Dienst begann, ist damit seit langem befasst. >>>

Polizei geht gegen Demonstranten vor - Proteste gegen Abriss von Häusern in jüdischer Siedlung - Bei Protesten gegen den Abriss von Häusern in einer jüdischen Siedlung im Westjordanland ist es am Dienstag zu Zusammenstößen zwischen Demonstranten und der Polizei gekommen. Wie die Armee mitteilte, sicherten Beamte der israelischen Grenzpolizei die Häuser in Beit El nördlich von Ramallah, um "Gewalt" während der Abrissarbeiten zu verhindern. Nach Angaben der örtlichen Behörden hatten sich jedoch rund 50 Demonstranten in den Häusern verschanzt. Die Sicherheitskräfte hätten die Gebäude dann gewaltsam geräumt.

Das Oberste Gericht Israels hatte im Juni den Abriss von zwei Häusern in Beit El angeordnet. Sie sind noch im Bau und sollen bis Ende des Monats zerstört werden. Ein Palästinenser und israelische Nichtregierungsorganisationen hatten gegen den Bau der Häuser Klage eingereicht. Die Behörden von Beit El haben aber angekündigt, sich weiter vor Gericht gegen den Abriss zu wehren.

Auch Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu erklärte am Dienstag, er sei gegen die Zerstörung der Häuser. Die Regierung versuche, den Abriss "mit juristischen Mitteln" zu verhindern. >>>

Israeli general likens attack on Gaza towers to 9/11 attack, as ‘symbol’- Dan Cohen - An Israeli general likened Israel’s bombing of three landmark towers in the Gaza Strip last year to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Speaking at the Future Forces for Homeland Security conference in Herzliya last week, Major General (ret.) Gershon Hacohen said:

“I need symbols, I’m talking about symbols. It is no simple matter. Because if I destroyed three towers in Gaza towards the end of Operation Protective Edge, and inflicted not only pain in the economic sense but also a symbol, and like the Twin Towers in New York were a symbol, what is significant is not only the physics but the significance of the matter.”

During the final two nights of the 51-day war on Gaza last summer, Israeli warplanes dropped American-supplied bombs on the Zafer Four tower, the Italian Compound, the Basha tower, and a four-story mall in Rafah. The mass destruction left hundreds of families homeless and struck a heavy blow to Gaza’s already crippled economy. These attacks were carried out when the ceasefire was imminent. The Italian Compound and Basha tower were destroyed only a few hours before the announcement of the ceasefire agreement.

Contrary to Israeli propaganda which claimed that the towers housed Hamas “command centers,” the general’s statement confirms my reporting from Gaza: the Israeli military chose these targets so as to attack the professional class, which is considered unsympathetic to the political goals of Hamas. These attacks are part of Israel’s continued strangulation of Gaza’s economy. >>>

Palestinian Territories - Israel's media war targets journalists in Gaza, West Bank - Israel is fighting several diplomatic and military battles. However, one war it may be losing is over its treatment of journalists. As Mel Frykberg reports from the West Bank, the pen is often mightier than the sword.

The Israeli foreign ministry released a video recently ridiculing the foreign media as being naive and uninformed prompting the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel to slam the ministry. The Tel Aviv-based FPA said it was "surprised and alarmed by the foreign ministry's decision to produce a cartoon mocking the foreign media's coverage of last year's war in Gaza."

"Posting misleading and poorly conceived videos on YouTube is inappropriate, unhelpful and undermines the ministry, which says it respects the foreign press and its freedom to work in Gaza." The release of the video coincided with a letter published in the Israeli daily Haaretz by Robert Mahoney, the deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, attacking Israel's treatment of journalists.

"One year and numerous inquiries later, we still don't know the whole truth behind the staggering death toll among journalists and media workers during Israel's Operation Protective Edge in Gaza," said Mahoney. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have dismissed the latest United Nations Independent Commission of Inquiry report on the Gaza war as 'defective and biased' but that does not mean Israel can move on with a clear conscience as far as the journalists' deaths are concerned. More media staff members were killed in Gaza during the 50-day conflict than in the rest of the world combined over that period," said Mahoney.

The International Middle East Media Center says that 17 journalists were killed in Gaza, while Reporters Without Borders gave the figure as 15, most of them Palestinian. Journalists living dangerously >>>

"Obama führt Israelis zur Ofentür" - Republikaner Huckabee sorgt mit Holocaust-Vergleich für Aufregung. - Mit einer Anspielung auf die Judenvernichtung im Dritten Reich hat der US-Präsidentschaftsbewerber Mike Huckabee für Empörung gesorgt. In einem Interview mit der konservativen Website Breitbart warf der Republikaner US-Präsident Barack Obama vor, durch das Atomabkommen mit dem Iran die Israelis zur "Ofentür" der Krematorien zu führen.

Obamas Außenpolitik sei die "unverantwortlichste" in der Geschichte der USA, sagte Huckabee. Indem jener so naiv sei und den Iranern glaube, "nimmt er die Israelis und führt sie zur Tür der Öfen".

Keinen Platz in der Politik
Während das Weiße Haus zunächst nicht reagierte, forderte die Vorsitzende der Demokraten, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, eine Entschuldigung von Huckerbee. Diese Rhetorik sei zwar im Kampf um die Präsidentschaftskandidatur der Republikaner gang und gäbe, habe aber in der "amerikanischen Politik keinen Platz", erklärte sie. "Leichtfertige Vergleiche mit dem Holocaust sind nicht akzeptabel." >>>>

The Long Road to Bethlehem: Part Three - In parts one and two, Jewish journalist Mya Guarnieri struggles to find her place in two conflicted societies. In her struggle with forbidden love, desperation is fueled by the innumerable — societal and military — obstacles that seem to lurk beyond every bend. Thankfully, hope often appears when you need it most. - Mya Guarnieri

The New Year comes and passes. It’s January 2014 and I’ve been living in the territories for almost a year. But rather than becoming more comfortable in my new surroundings and feeling like my usual curious and adventurous self—I am the woman, after all, who has traveled some 20 countries, mostly alone—I find myself turning inwards. I prefer to stay in Bethlehem, close to home.

This is not me. - The occupation and the checkpoints, particularly the flying checkpoints, have something to do with the change: on my way back to Bethlehem from Ramallah one afternoon, a flying checkpoint pops up near Jabaa’. As the soldiers take the IDs of everyone in the service taxi, I don’t know what to do—do I give them my American passport or my Israeli teudat zehut?

In theory, I could be headed from Qalandia—which is technically part of East Jerusalem—to Hizme, which is in Area B. I’m legal here, I tell myself. Or am I? I try to picture myself on the map that shows the zones: A, B, C.

Where is Jabaa’?
Where am I?
Who am I supposed to be right now?

It happens again as I’m driving back to Bethlehem from Jerusalem one afternoon. I’m on the little, rolling two-lane road that takes me to Beit Jala. Usually, I glide by the small army base on the edge of Beit Jala and from there, it’s a short drive to Bethlehem and I’m home. But today: when I bank >>>

Wrong on the Facts, Wrong on the Law: Israeli’s False Claims of “Self-Defense” in Gaza War - James Marc Leas - “Public relations campaigns based on self-defense have been critical to Israeli officials avoiding accountability after each of the six major assaults on Gaza since Israel withdrew its settlers from Gaza in 2005. Notwithstanding the reports of war crimes committed by Israeli forces, the remarkable success of those self-defense based public relations campaigns continued to provide Israeli officials with impunity: the freedom to strike militarily again” >>>

A traffic jam in the middle of the desert - The rendezvous was scheduled for 11:30 am, outside the Arlozorov Street Railway Station in Tel Aviv. I arrived at 11:35. "Three buses have already been filled, but don’t worry – the fourth bus will soon arrive" said the organizers’ representative. "There will be a place for anyone who wants to go to the protest in Susiya."

It is long since there was such a wide response to a call for a demonstration in the wild West Bank. Among the passengers could be seen quite a few long-time activists who had however not been seen in recent years. Why did the case of Susiya evoke so much attention, in Israel and throughout the world? (Circulating on the bus was the current New York Times op-ed page, featuring a moving personal story of a Susiya resident). This tiny threatened village is in every way worthy of support and solidarity - but in the past, quite a few instances of no less outrageous injustice have been perpetrated and met a virtually complete indifference and silence. One can never know in advance which particular case will become the focus and symbol of a struggle. >>>
