Tel Aviv: Israel's Cultural and Financial Capital
This week, we’re looking at the history of Tel Aviv. Since its establishment, this city on the coast has developed a big name for itself. It’s Israel’s commercial and financial center, bursting with startups and home to some major global companies. But, it’s not all work, work, work. Tel Aviv is also a cosmopolitan hub of cultural and art… not to mention the party capital of the Middle East.
Not bad for a city that’s just over 100 years’ old.
But how did Tel Aviv develop from the original seashell lottery of 1909 that marked the founding of the city? What’s the connection with one of the founding fathers of urban planning? And why does the city has the largest concentration of Bauhaus buildings in the world?
Let us know what you think about Tel Aviv in the comments below.

Shibboleth Exhibition @ Jaffa Port
Shibboleth: A SITE SPECIFIC EXHIBITION
A Bezalel Visual Communication Dept. / 3M / Jaffa Port joint project
Director and Curator: Anat Katsir
Date: From Friday 15- Saturday 30 April 2011
The word Shibboleth, which in hebrew refers to flowers arising from the main stem -- those without individual flower stalks -- has a biblical meaning relating to ethnic segregation based on linguistic differences.
Displayed in the open space of the Jaffa Port, the students' projects explore the meeting of two languages that exist in the Israeli environment, Hebrew and Arabic, allowing us to understand the complexity and polarity of our surroundings.
An environment of collisions, misunderstandings and miscommunication; sometimes of despair, sometimes of hope. The term Shibboleth represents separation and ethnic segregation, but is also a bouquet of multiple items.
The students selected cultural references, such as poetry, literature, news excerpts, music, and even online comments, using them in the artworks scattered across the port.
The bilingual installations shown in this exhibition were designed by students of the Site Specific course, directed by Anat Katsir of the Visual Communication Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
It is difficult to think of a more appropriate setting for this project than the existing and politically-charged Jaffa Port. It is the borderline between sea and land, Tel Aviv and Jaffa, Jews and Arabs, the privileged and the underprivileged. It is also the meeting point of languages, cultures, scents and sights; between past, present, and future.
The Jaffa Port, currently in stages of transformation and development, does not only serve as a good location for exhibiting the projects, but as a theme for them. Their development had originated from, and was inspired by the port's space, for which they were made. The Jaffa Port will become an outdoor gallery, allowing visitors to trace the path created by the projects.

9/11/01: FBI Issues A Nationwide APB For A White Van With Urban Moving Systems On The Back
See 9/11 Missing Links, George Washington Bridge Incident, and the Dancing Israelis. This is the earliest news report I have been able to find concerning the white vans on 9/11. New rare WKSB UPN WB Boston coverage of September 11, 2001. Aired 4:30 pm 9/11/2001 A Mossad surveillance team made quite a public spectacle of themselves on 9-11. The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards. Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents claiming middle-eastern men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery.They were like happy, you know ... They didn't look shocked to me said a witness. [T]hey were seen by New Jersey residents on Sept. 11 making fun of the World Trade Center ruins and going to extreme lengths to photograph themselves in front of the wreckage. Witnesses saw them jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact. Later on, other witnesses saw them celebrating on a roof in Weehawken, and still more witnesses later saw them celebrating with high fives in a Jersey City parking lot. It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at Liberty State Park. One anonymous phone call to the authorities actually led them to close down all of New York's bridges and tunnels. The mystery caller told the 9-1-1 dispatcher that a group of Palestinians were mixing a bomb inside of a white van headed for the Holland Tunnel. Here's the transcript from NBC News:
Dispatcher: Jersey City police.
Caller: Yes, we have a white van, 2 or 3 guys in there, they look like Palestinians and going around a building.
Caller: There's a minivan heading toward the Holland tunnel, I see the guy by Newark Airport mixing some junk and he has those sheikh uniform.
Dispatcher: He has what?
Caller: He's dressed like an Arab.
White, 2000 Chevrolet van with 'Urban Moving Systems' sign on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain individuals. When a van fitting that exact description was stopped just before crossing into New York, the suspicious middle-easterners were apprehended. Imagine the surprise of the police officers when these terror suspects turned out to be Israelis!
According to ABC's 20/20, when the van belonging to the cheering Israelis was stopped by the police, the driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers:
We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem.
Why did he feel Palestinians were a problem for the NYPD?
The police and FBI field agents became very suspicious when they found maps of the city with certain places highlighted, box cutters (the same items that the hijackers supposedly used), $4700 cash stuffed in a sock, and foreign passports. Police also told the Bergen Record that bomb sniffing dogs were brought to the van and that they reacted as if they had smelled explosives. The FBI seized and developed their photos, one of which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smouldering ruins in an apparently celebratory gesture. The Jerusalem Post later reported that a white van with a bomb was stopped as it approached the George Washington Bridge, but the ethnicity of the suspects was not revealed. Here's what the Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001: American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported. From there, the story gets becomes even more suspicious. The Israelis worked for a Weehawken moving company known as Urban Moving Systems. An American employee of Urban Moving Systems told the The Record of New Jersey that a majority of his co-workers were Israelis and they were joking about the attacks. A few days after the attacks, Urban Moving System's Israeli owner, Dominick Suter, dropped his business and fled the country for Israel. He was in such a hurry to flee America that some of Urban Moving System's customers were left with their furniture stranded in storage facilities. The Jewish weekly The Forward reported that the FBI finally concluded that at least two of the detained Israelis were agents working for the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and that Urban Moving Systems, the ostensible employer of the five Israelis, was a front operation.

Jedwabne a Witness of History
Jedwabne Massacre eyewitness testimony.
On 10 July 1941 Ms. Hieronima Wilczewska was 8 years old when she saw the massacre in Jedwabne, in German-occupied Poland.
The 1941 massacre in Jedwabne in German-occupied Poland was committed by Germans, on their own initiative and under their sole supervision like thousands of similar German crimes in Poland.
Imputing the commission of this crime to the Polish population of Jedwabne is equally absurd as speaking of Polish concentration camps.
Considering the German rule of terror in the occupied Poland, where even owning a radio receiver could result in imprisonment and death, it would have been physically impossible for the Polish inhabitants of a town to possess weapons or to be able to organize and independently conduct any armed or pacificatory action without Germans' consent and control.
Dissemination of such absurdities bespeaks their author's ignorance, ill will, or an intent to falsify history based on ulterior motives.
Out of all German-occupied countries, in Poland alone any form of aid extended to people of Jewish descent carried a death sentence. The punishment was dealt out immediately, most often without a trial, not only to the helper but also to his or her entire family.
In other words, the whole family would be stood against the nearest wall and shot.
In this context, and as defined by Germans - “help meant any assistance, in the broadest sense of the word: from hiding Jews through giving them clothes, food or water. The punishment was carried out on Poles with the utmost severity.
In German-occupied Poland Germans annihilated, in most cases through bestial murders, over 5 million Polish citizens, including over 2,5 million Poles of Jewish descent. Over 2 million Polish non-Jews were subjected to genocide in German concentration and death camps or killed as a result of various forms of terror and repression.
Out of the total of 25,685 people who have to this day been granted the highest civilian award of the State of Israel, i.e. the title of Righteous Among the Nations
of the Yad Vashem International Institute for Holocaust Research based in Jerusalem, 6,532 were Poles.
The title of Righteous Among the Nations, the highest civilian award in Israel, is granted in recognition of documented cases where non-Jews risked their lives to help Jews. This means that the State of Israel has acknowledged that, of all the nations engulfed by the war waged by the German Third Reich, out of all 21 German-occupied countries, non-Jewish Poles are credited with as much as 25 percent of all documented cases of aiding Jews at the peril of death to the helper and his or her family. However, it needs to be added that the number of over 6,000 awards is only symbolic. Historical estimates indicate that the total number of Poles engaged in organizing clandestine help for Jews in occupied Poland was as high as 2 million. For instance, securing help for a single Jew in the German-occupied and terrorized country required the concerted, clandestine and life-threatening effort of 20 non-Jewish Poles.
Unique among the occupied countries, both the Polish Underground State during WWII and the Polish Home Army - also unparalleled in the occupied Europe and Asia
established official administrative, financial and organizational structures whose task was to help and protect Jews in German-occupied Poland. This was perfectly executed, using all available means in the time of terror and oppression, at the cost of incarceration, bestial torture and death of thousands of non-Jewish Poles at German hands. From the Jewish Department set up specifically to this end in the Department of Information of the Bureau of Information and Propaganda at the Polish Home Army HQ, through the Provisional Committee to Aid Jews, to the Council to Aid Jews operating through the Polish Government Delegation for Poland - this effort was initiated, organized, managed, implemented and led at the peril of death by the clandestine structures of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army (yes, the anti-Semitic Home Army - as it is portrayed in some of today's Polish and international newspapers, scientific papers, according to historians, “journalists or German TV miniseries Unsere Muetter, Unsere Vaeter - “Generation War”).
Acting on the order of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army, underground armed forces heroes, like Rittmeister Witold Pilecki, voluntarily infiltrated German death camps to document the decimation of the Polish population and the extermination of Jews. The report, entitled The Mass Extermination of Jews in German Occupied Poland, was officially introduced to all nations of the world on 10 December 1942, at the League of Nations forum in Washington, and later presented directly, in person, to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The message was completely ignored both by the leaders and their nations.
Belonging and Public Space—Racism and the Right to the City | #OBConf2019
This breakout session explores how othering and belonging is spatialized across local and national contexts in order to influence how racialized groups access common spaces, such as places of work, educational institutions, housing, and other shared public space. The panel draws on case studies in racial geography to highlight the factors that shape various spaces either reproduce or resist messages of racial discrimination, marginalization, and exclusion. Themes include: connecting race and place, racial segregation and displacement, the inclusionary and exclusionary politics of spatial mobility, and strategies for cultivating inclusive local spaces around the world.
Speakers include: Rhonda Itaoui, Kevin Dunn, Omar Salha, Lara Kiswani, and Roberto Zurbano.

2015 AAA Session: ETHICAL ACADEMIC ADVOCACY FOR PALESTINIAN...
RIGHTS AND THE ACADEMIC BOYCOTT OF ISRAELI INSTITUTIONS
Since at least the 1980s, anthropologists have brought discussions about the relationship between academia and ethical engagements in Palestine-Israel to the AAA. During the past two AAA Annual Meetings, these discussions have focused on whether to endorse the academic boycott of Israeli institutions as an important part of this ethical engagement. This is a key way that scholars in the US can support and advocate for Palestinian rights. At the same time, the AAA has set up a Task Force on Israel-Palestine, to independently investigate and explore these issues. Speakers on this roundtable will address these varying engagements, and raise questions and possibilities for moving forward. They will weigh in, from a variety of perspectives in anthropology and academe more broadly, on the issue of academic boycott as well as other possibilities for supporting Palestinian rights. There will be plenty of time for discussion with the audience.
