Germany has come under criticism from both Israel’s Ambassador Yakov Hadas-Handelsman and the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center office in Jerusalem, Dr. Efraim Zuroff. They slammed Germany on Monday and Tuesday respectively for showing a lack of sensitivity towards Nazi era crimes when granting prestigious awards... B’nai B’rith International issued a statement on Monday saying that “Butler’s anti-Israel actions include endorsing the United States Campaign for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel – a boycott that was actively promoted by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.” B’nai B’rith continued: “It is wrong to give the Adorno prize, named in honor of a Jewish intellectual, to anyone who shares these goals...read more.

Del 26 al 31 de agosto se reúnen en Teherán por 16ª vez los países que responden a la denominación de Movimiento No Alineado. El NOAL nació en 1961 como `respuesta neutral al enfrentamiento bipolar del mundo de entonces entre URSS y EE.UU.` Cincuenta años después hay 120 países afiliados, pero ya no existe la URSS, no existe la guerra fría y tampoco la neutralidad. Hoy, para muchos, hay `buenos y malos`. En ese contexto los No Alineados se reúnen en un país cuyos líderes principales hablaron muy claro la semana pasada. El denominado líder supremo de la revolución islámica, ayatollah Alí Jamenei dijo: `La tierra islámica, lejos de cualquier duda, será devuelta a la nación palestina, y la falsa glándula inventada del sionismo será borrada de la geografía mundial`. Por su parte, el presidente de Irán, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, dijo que `Israel es un insulto para la humanidad` y sigue proclamando la negación del Holocausto...more. By Herb Keinon
With Iran posed to assume chairmanship later this month of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) for the next three years, member states should significantly downgrade their participation in that framework, Daniel Mariaschin, executive vice president of B’nai B’rith International, has said. As is done every year, Mariaschin, as well as the heads of other major US Jewish organizations – such as the Anti-Defamation league, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the World Jewish Congress – will meet together with leaders from some 40 countries attending the UN General Assembly meeting in New York in September. One of the main issues on the agenda of the talks, that will include leaders from a number of NAM countries, will be the subject of Iran’s leadership of that organization, said Mariaschin, currently on a visit to Israel. Salir adelante es un programa de la B'nai B'rith que apoya a jovenes de condición socioeconómica crítica, que asisten a liceos publicos pero con buen desempeño académico. Part 2: JTA: Ryan hailed by Jewish GOPers, organizations see him as a face of budget confrontations8/14/2012 Anointing Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney attached a name and face to his fiscal policy.
Jewish Republicans, including the House majority leader, say they are thrilled with Wisconsin's Ryan emerging as the ticket’s fresh face, hailing the lawmaker as a thoughtful and creative budget guru bent on taming out-of-control federal spending. ...Jewish community officials say that privatizing entitlement programs is more likely to drive up costs for individuals than it is to keep overall costs down. “A competition approach is not appropriate for people who are higher risk,” said Rachel Goldberg, the director of senior advocacy for B’nai B’rith International. Ryan’s plan, she said, would lure younger and healthier Medicare-eligible Americans into cheaper plans, which in turn would drive up costs for older and less healthy citizens...read more. A bipartisan group of six Congress members is sponsoring a bill that would ensure recognition of the plight of 850,000 Jewish refugees displaced from Arab countries since Israel’s War of Independence in 1948.
Their bill in the US House of Representatives also would recognize other displaced populations, including Christians from countries in the Middle East, North Africa and the Persian Gulf...Both B’nai B’rith International and the World Jewish Congress were among those who applauded the proposed legislation. “We want to ensure that the United States makes the rights of Jewish refugees from Arab nations a priority in multilateral discussions about the Middle East conflict,” said Eric Fusfield, B’nai B’rith’s international director of legislative affairs. “Any time refugee issues are discussed in the context of the peace negotiations, the rights of Jewish refugees need to be given their proper place.” ...read more. B'nai B'rith Uruguay gestiona becas para estudiantes de liceo montevideanos de bajo nivel socioeconómico
Lograr terminar el liceo es, para muchos jóvenes uruguayos, un enorme desafío. Incluso para aquellos alumnos que se destacan y trabajan para tener muy buenas notas, los últimos años del bachillerato se vuelven a veces una barrera insalvable. Los aspectos socioeconómicos suelen ser grandes barreras, especialmente para aquellos con necesidades económicas o presiones sociales que los hacen tomar otros caminos. Como una respuesta a esta situación, el programa Salir Adelante busca generar en los jóvenes estrategias para permanecer exitosamente dentro de la educación formal y finalizar la Secundaria. Está dirigido a jóvenes a partir de cuarto año de liceos públicos con muy buen desempeño académico y provenientes de hogares en situación socioeconómica comprometida. La propuesta selecciona estudiantes dentro del sistema formal apoyando a la conclusión de sus estudios, el apalancamiento de su buen desempeño y la proyección de sus trayectorias educativas y un plan de vida con un proyecto sustentable. El programa funciona desde 2009, trabajando en conjunto con empresarios, el Estado y la sociedad civil, la ACJ, entre otras organizaciones, y es gestionado por B´nai B´rith Uruguay. |
