B’nai B’rith Commends Moldova Parliament For Recognition Of Holocaust Victims

7/29/2016

 
B’nai B’rith has issued the following statement:

B’nai B’rith International commends Moldova’s parliament for its recognition of the country’s Holocaust victims. A report, published in 2004, estimated that 45,000 to 60,000 Jews were killed in 1941, in what is now the country of Moldova. The report also stated that 105,000 to 120,000 Jews died after being sent to Trans-Dniester region. The compendium of Holocaust findings was overseen by the late Elie Wiesel, who chaired a commission of scholars and other experts, including B’nai B’rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin. The commission focused on the Holocaust in wartime Romania and on territory that constitutes present day Moldova.

On July 22, the Moldova government denounced the “persecution and extermination of Jews.”

Shoah victims deserve the respect of being remembered and commemorated. With anti-Semitism on the rise, this is an important acknowledgement not only for the Jewish people in Moldova, but for Holocaust survivors and their families and for Jews around the world. 

B'nai Brith France horrified by the murder of a priest (French)

Le B'nai Brith France meurtri et horrifié par l'assassinat d'un prêtre
 
Le B'nai B'rith France et son Président Serge Dahan ont été profondément choqués et bouleversés par l'assassinat du Père Jacques Hamel, 84 ans, à l'issue d'une prise d'otages pendant une messe à Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, au cours de laquelle trois paroissiens ont également été grièvement blessés.
 
Cette barbarie innommable est une nouvelle atteinte au peuple de France, blessé au plus profond par la terreur et la haine islamistes depuis de nombreux mois.
 
Une fois de plus, les valeurs de notre civilisation judéo-chrétienne sont attaquées par les ennemis djihadistes de l'humanité et nous sommes dans l'effroi et dans la colère.

Partout en Europe les libertés d'expression et aujourd'hui de culte sont visées par le terrorisme islamiste. Partout en Europe les valeurs de fraternité sont attaquées, partout en Europe l'islamisme fanatique s'attaque à notre existence

Aprés une école à Toulouse, après un musée à Bruxelles, après Charlie, après l’Hypercacher, après le Bataclan, après Nice, après Ansbach, c'est aujourd'hui à l'intérieur d'une église que ces barbares ont commis cet acte ignoble.

Le Président de la République l'a rappelé « nous devons mener une guerre par tous les moyens », le Bnai Brith France exprime par la voix de son Président son total soutien à l'action du gouvernement dans son combat difficile pour la défense de nos valeurs républicaines
Le B'nai Brith France présente à Monseigneur l'Archevêque de Rouen ainsi qu'à l'Eglise de France et à toute la communauté chrétienne de France ses plus profondes condoléances attristées, et souhaite le rétablissement des blessés. 

B’nai B’rith Welcomes Renewal Of Formal Diplomatic Ties Between Israel And The Republic Of Guinea 

7/20/2016

 
B’nai B’rith has issued the following statement:

​B’nai B’rith International welcomes the renewal of formal diplomatic ties between Israel and the Republic of Guinea. In 1967, Guinea, a predominantly Muslim country, cut formal relations with the Jewish state. Earlier today in Paris, Israel’s Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold met with Guinea’s Ibrahim Khalil Kaba, chief of staff to President Alpha Condé, to sign a document reestablishing official ties between the two countries. 
 
Almost 50 years have passed since Israel has had diplomatic relations with Guinea, and we view this as an important development. B’nai B’rith hopes that this bilateral relationship will richly serve both nations, and their peoples, as it surely can.
 
We call on every country in Africa and beyond to cement ties with the Jewish state, in the interest of both vital communication and practical cooperation.

B’nai B’rith Marks 22nd Anniversary Of The AMIA Building Bombing In Buenos Aires

7/18/2016

 
Picture

People marching to both remember the 1994 AMIA building bombing in Buenos Aires and to protest the lack of answers as to who was responsible.
​B’nai B’rith International marks the 22nd anniversary of the bombing attack on the Argentine-Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building—the Jewish center—in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On July 18, 1994, a suicide bomber drove a truck filled with explosives into the AMIA building, collapsing it, killing 85 people and wounding 300. Iran has long been widely recognized as the perpetrator behind this heinous crime.
 
It wasn’t until 2005—when former President Néstor Kirchner acknowledged the state’s responsibility for the stagnant investigation and named Alberto Nisman to head-up a new investigative unit—that a serious investigation into the bombing finally started. Nisman eventually found that several top Iranian officials, including then-President Hashemi Rafsanjani and former Minister of Defense Ahmad Vahidi, as well as Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah were all involved with the attack. Eventually, Interpol issued arrest warrants for a Lebanese national and five Iranians. To this day, none has been apprehended.
 
In 2013, despite the extensive evidence found by Nisman, Argentina and the regime in Tehran signed a “Memorandum of Understanding,” which created a "Commission of Truth" to jointly “investigate” the attack. The deal allowed Iranian officials full access to the case file. The agreement also stated that any interrogations of suspects would only take place in Iran. Disregarding the memorandum, Nisman continued to unearth new information. In January 2015, he filed a complaint against then-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman and other members and close allies of the government, for allegedly having negotiated the pact with Iran in order to give impunity to the accused, in exchange for a trade agreement that included oil.
 
On Jan. 18, 2015, Nisman was found dead in his home, just one day before he was set to expand on his explosive allegations before the Argentine Congress. The causes of his death have still not been clarified.
 
“The fact that Argentina entered into a deal with Iran, which is widely believed to have planned the attack, has always been very disconcerting and appalling,” B’nai B’rith International President Gary P. Saltzman said. “Alberto Nisman’s valiant efforts to procure justice for victims of the AMIA building bombing will always be acknowledged by B’nai B’rith.”
 
When Argentine President Mauricio Macri was sworn into office this past December he decided not to appeal a federal court’s verdict that the “Memorandum of Understanding” was unconstitutional. While she was still president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had filed an appeal to keep it intact.
 
For more than two decades, B’nai B’rith, with its deep ties throughout Latin America, has pressed for those responsible to be brought to justice. We pledge to never forget the victims and their families, or Alberto Nisman, and what he has done for the Jewish community.
 
“There is no statute of limitations on bringing terrorists to justice. Macri’s decision to void the AMIA bombing pact with Iran was a major step in the right direction,” B’nai B’rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin said. “B’nai B’rith will remain persistent in the fight for justice.”

B’nai B’rith International Horrified by Truck Attack in France

7/15/2016

 
B’nai B’rith has issued the following statement:

B’nai B’rith is horrified by the truck attack on Bastille Day revelers in Nice, France, that left at least 84 people dead and scores wounded.

We stand with the people of France, and all people of moral courage in the world. We call for an international campaign to eradicate the sources of terror, which direct and inspire such despicable acts as the Nice attack.

Our thoughts are for the speedy recovery of those injured. And our deepest sympathies are with the families of the victims.

B’nai B’rith Is Appalled As UNESCO World Heritage Committee Considers Resolution That Again Questions Jewish Ties To Temple Mount

7/12/2016

 
B’nai B’rith International has issued the following statement:

B’nai B’rith International is appalled that a joint Palestinian-Jordanian draft of a resolution that questions Jewish historic ties to Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem was presented to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Committee in Istanbul. The draft resolution that was submitted to the 21-member committee includes references to the Temple Mount solely by its Arabic name and describes it only as a Muslim holy site, thereby seeking to erase and supplant the fundamental history of Judaism. The resolution also refers disrespectfully to the Western Wall (the Kotel, in Hebrew) in quotes while claiming it as part of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Attempts to change the facts of Judeo-Christian history by relabeling universally established names for holy sites with only Arabic or Muslim names have been ongoing at UNESCO. Similar Palestinian-backed resolutions at UNESCO’s Executive Board over the past year have led to a public outcry over the blatant, frontal attack on Judaism and the Jewish people. In spite of the outrage, the Palestinians continue to put forward the same inflammatory language, hoping that the repetition will eventually become an accepted narrative.

The World Heritage Committee is tasked with preserving the common history of humanity and cannot allow itself to let the Palestinians pervert this goal for political ends. This resolution would do lasting damage to the reputation of UNESCO. 

​B’nai B’rith urges international leaders to strongly repudiate this outrageous resolution.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer Delivers Keynote Address at B'nai B'rith World Center Award for Journalism Ceremony

Awards conferred upon Amanda Borschel-Dan (The Times of Israel) and Allison Kaplan Sommer (Haaretz); Lifetime Achievement Award to Ya'akov Ahimeir (Israel Broadcasting Authority); Idan Raichel received special citation
Ron Dermer, ambassador of Israel to the United States, presented the keynote address at the B’nai B’rith World Center Award for Journalism Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage in Jerusalem. In his speech, Dermer spoke about the vital link between Israel and the United States. He said: “Beyond security and technology, my confidence in the future of the U.S.-Israel alliance also comes from my appreciation that our alliance is rooted in things that run much deeper. It is rooted in our most cherished values and in a shared sense of destiny. The idea that all are created equal in the image of God, that no one is above the law, that compassion for the most vulnerable is a sacred obligation — ideas which have been a moral compass for generations of Americans…”

Dermer has served in Washington, D.C. since October 2013, and from 2009-2013 he served as senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

​


​Winners of the award which recognizes excellence in Diaspora reportage in Israel print, broadcast and digital media were Amanda Borschel-Dan, the Times of Israel’s Jewish World editor and Allison Kaplan Sommer, staff writer at Haaretz. Both journalists submitted an impressive array of articles on Diaspora communities and Israel-Diaspora relations published during 2015.

Additionally, a Lifetime Achievement Award in memory of Luis and Trudi Schydlowsky was conferred upon senior Israel Broadcasting Authority journalist Ya’akov Ahimeir, editor and presenter of the Saturday night foreign news and culture magazine show "Ro'im Olam" (Seeing the World), on Channel 1 Television. Ahimeir also appears on the Voice of Israel’s daily radio news program “HaBoker HaZeh” (This Morning).

In the course of the event a special citation for fostering Israel-Diaspora relations through the arts was presented to Idan Raichel. The special citation was established by the B'nai B'rith World Center in 2014. To date, citations were conferred upon Nurit Hirsh (2014) and David D'or (2015).
From the Jury considerations:
Amanda Borschel-Dan
"In her writing, as in her position as editor, Amanda Borschel-Dan strives to augment mutual understanding and the process of familiarity between Israel and Diaspora Jews. Borschel-Dan understands the singular importance of the topic she specializes in and she engages in it with intensivity and true dedication. Her writing is articulate, she delves into research and her professional scope in wide."
Picture
Allison Kaplan-Sommer
"Allison Kaplan-Sommer has specialized in writing about Israeli and American politics with an emphasis on the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora, on a wide variety of topics from an overall general perspective as well as personal stories. During the year 2015, she wrote some 34 articles for Ha’aretz on Israel and the Diaspora – in itself a most impressive body of work. Her writing is both incisive and personal, revealing a broad fund of knowledge about the Israeli and Diaspora Jewish communities – what separates them and what unites them. She sees the battleground of ideas and ideologies as important, but chooses to describe them within the context of the people and personalities involved – their stories and their lives."
Picture
Ya'akov Ahimeir
"Ya'akov Ahimeir is one of the most senior journalists in Israel who is among those who layed the foundations of the Israel broadcast and print media. The many awards he has received are an indication of the consistent and overwhelming appreciation that exists for the outstanding brilliance of his long career. Ya'akov Ahimeir is blessed with the essential attributes for a journalist: inquisitiveness, a keen eye, the ability to recognize the essence of the story, broad education, caring, accuracy, thoroughness, fairness, courage and particularly the rare ability to be objective while not being neutral. A profound personal interest is evident in all of his reports on the Jewish world and their lives, empathy and sympathy towards his fellow Jew and real concern for Jewish communities in the Diaspora."
Picture
Idan Raichel
"Idan Raichel is a meteor in the expanse of Israeli art. In a relatively short period of 15 years this multi-talented artist has become one of the leading musicians in Israel and one of the most successful Israeli musicians internationally. He created a unique stage presence heretofore unknown on the Israeli stage. The international musical cooperations that Raichel has created throughout his career have turned him into a cultural ambassador for millions of fans, representing a world full of hope in which musical collaborations remove boundaries between people coming from different backgrounds and cultures. His music is the beating drum of a troubled region that serves as a source of inspiration for a young generation for the promise of a better future."

B’nai B’rith Mourns The Loss Of Eminent Voice Of The Holocaust, Survivor Elie Wiesel

7/2/2016

 
B’nai B’rith International President Gary P. Saltzman and Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin have issued the following statement:
 
We mourn the passing of Elie Wiesel, whose writing gave voice to the millions who perished in the Shoah, and to the millions of Soviet Jews seeking freedom to emigrate. Eminent thinker and author, his books and lectures taught us with power and grace, but served also, in our own times, to teach us the lessons of history's darkest moments.

His passing leaves the world bereft of a profound moral conscience.
