following nearly two weeks of unprecedented protests demanding political change Hariri’s office summoned the press as counterdemonstrators wielding sticks and throwing stones attacked the main protest site in Beirut Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The violence came shortly after dozens of other Hezbollah supporters also wielding sticks attacked a roadblock set up by the protesters on a main thoroughfare in the capital Tuesday marked the 13th day of Lebanon’s anti-government protests which have been an unprecedented expression of anger that’s united millions of Lebanese against what demonstrators say is a corrupt and inefficient political class in power for decades since the 1975-1990 civil war But in recent days Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah grew critical of the protests claiming they have been backed and financed by foreign powers and rival political groups “What does it mean that the Israelis get Lebanese among those who are in the Zionist entity to the border to show solidarity with the protests” he was quoted saying by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television network on Friday It was not immediately clear what he was referring to He called on his supporters to leave the rallies and urged the protesters to remove the roadblocks The mass rallies have paralyzed a country already grappling with a severe fiscal crisis Hezbollah and its allies dominate the current government and is the country’s most powerful organization The riot police and military first moved in Tuesday trying to separate the rival groups but the security forces failed to stop the storming of Martyrs Square where anti-government protesters have held their ground since October 17 The protesters are calling on the government to step down holding rallies in public squares and promoting a civil disobedience campaign that include blocking main roads At the Beirut roadblock the angry crowd swelled by early afternoon some using sticks to chase protesters away Some of the men also attacked journalists kicking them and attempting to smash their cameras Many among the angry mob chanted: “God Nasrallah and the whole Dahiyeh” in reference to the southern suburb that is a stronghold of the Iranian-backed terror group that seeks to destroy Israel Others told TV crews that they were upset at the roadblocks and insults to their leader Then they marched to the central square tearing down tents smashing plastic chairs and using metal poles to poke holes in the tents which they later burned They also beat some anti-government protesters One TV presenter described it as “a war scene” In his speech on Friday Nasrallah evoked the specter of new civil war like the one that ended in 1990 saying “someone is trying to pull it … toward a civil war” It was seen a precursor to the confrontation Tuesday Source Article from Related Posts WATCH anti-govt protesters fight with Beijing supporters in Hong Kong mall Intense fistfights broke

healthcare rights group says October 30th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s sanctions against Tehran have drastically constrained its ability to pay for humanitarian imports and are threatening the health rights of Iranians Human Rights Watch said Tuesday US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal last year and reimposed punishing sanctions as part of a stated campaign of “maximum pressure” against the Islamic republic Officially the punitive measures make exceptions for food medicine and other humanitarian goods but most companies are unwilling to do any trade with Iran for fear of repercussions in the world’s largest economy Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Trump “administration officials claim they stand with the Iranian people but the overbroad and burdensome US sanctions regime is harming Iranian’s right to health including access to live-saving medicines said Sarah Leah Whitson Middle East director at HRW “The comprehensive web of US sanctions has led banks and companies to pull back from humanitarian trade with Iran leaving Iranians who have rare or complicated diseases unable to get the medicine and treatment they require” she added The sanctions include previously suspended nuclear-related embargoes including on Iran’s oil exports and financial transactions with new ones added The US Treasury said they were imposed to make Iran’s leaders “cease support for terrorism stop proliferating ballistic missiles end destructive regional activities and abandon their nuclear ambitions” In a 47-page report HRW documents how the US-built exemptions for humanitarian imports into its sanctions regime have failed to offset the strong reluctance of US and European companies and banks to finance humanitarian goods Iranian patients have struggled with a foreign medicine shortage and price hikes for over a year both due to reimposed US trade sanctions as well as a battered economy with a free-falling currency Medicine importers get subsidized currency rates from the government yet foreign drugs and medical equipment cannot always be found in state-owned pharmacies Iran produces 96 percent of the drugs it uses but imports more than half the raw materials to make them according to the Syndicate of Iranian Pharmaceutical Industries It also has to import special medicine which patients with rare diseases require HRW called on the US to “get serious about addressing the harm resulting from its cruel sanctions regime” Washington must create “a viable financial channel with reasonable requirements for companies banks and groups to provide humanitarian goods for people in Iran” it said Source Article from Related

withdraw from a 120-kilometer 75 mile long Arab-majority segment of the 440-kilometer 275-mile border zone although clashes have been reported since Turkey subsequently reached a deal with the Syrian

said officials were concerned that Iran — now more “aggressive and creative” than before — might choose a target outside of Israel Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The report said several diplomatic missions have been placed on high alert and have been instructed to take certain security precautions Israeli leaders in recent weeks have increasingly warned of a growing security threat from the Islamic Republic Last week IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi warned that the “tense and precarious” security situation along Israel’s northern and southern borders was poised to deteriorate into a conflict Kohavi told reporters the primary threat facing Israel comes from Iran and its proxies in Lebanon Syria and Iraq and said the IDF was in an “accelerated process of preparation” for a multi-front war On Monday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran was trying to launch precision-guided missiles at Israel from Yemen and elsewhere in the region Speaking at joint press conference with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in Jerusalem Netanyahu called on Washington to impose additional sanctions to halt what he called Iran’s “plunge for everything” in the region “Iran is seeking to develop now precision-guided munitions missiles that can hit any target in the Middle East with a circumference of five to ten meters” Netanyahu said according to an English-language statement from his office “They are developing this in Iran” “They want to place them in Iraq and in Syria and to convert Lebanon’s arsenal of 130000 imprecise rockets to precision-guided munitions” he added “They seek also to develop that and have already begun to put that in Yemen with the goal of reaching Israel from there too” It was not clear what strategic advantage Iran would gain from targeting Israel from Yemen which is nearly twice as far from the Jewish state as its own soil Later on Monday Channel 12 said the IDF has adjusted its air defenses to better defend against a direct cruise missile or drone strike from Iran Israel’s high-level security cabinet is set to convene for a special meeting on Tuesday to discuss Iran tensions for the second time this month Earlier this month the body — which must approve major military operations — convened for over six hours amid cryptic warnings by Israeli leaders of a growing security threat from Tehran Iran appears to have been building up its drone activities and attacks in recent months In August Israeli fighter jets carried out airstrikes in Syria to thwart a planned attack on Israel by Iran-backed fighters using armed drones the Israel Defense Forces said The Israeli military said its strike targeted operatives from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force as well as Shiite militias who had been planning on sending “kamikaze” attack drones into Israel armed with explosives Israel has vowed to prevent Iran’s regional proxy militias from obtaining advanced weapons

Netanyahu convened a special meeting on the matter on Monday evening at which he said he wanted to bring change to a matter which “causes immense suffering to the residents and major harm to the State of Israel” The team is to be headed by Ronen Peretz the acting director general of the Prime Minister’s Office who is tasked with formulating within 90 days a national program to eradicate violence

the trust of members of the community to aid their investigations Joint List leader Ayman Odeh has called for a “government decision and a wide-ranging plan to eradicate violence and crime in Arab society” Since the start of October Odeh other Joint List leaders and local Arab Israeli officials have held meetings with many top law enforcement officials to discuss violence in their communities

Jesus Christ ✝ One year on from the Pittsburgh shooting it’s clear that the Trump administration and the GOP along with their media boosters have helped create the climate for lethal white nationalist anti-Semitism to thrive By Ben Lorber A white supremacist seen during the Unite the Right rally Charlottesville Virginia August 12 2017 Evan Nesterak/CC BY 20 One year ago last Sunday a white nationalist committed the deadliest attack against Jews in American history killing 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh As for many American Jews that day will remain etched in my memory forever — a mixture of disbelief shock fear and grief The identity of the shooter however was not a surprise: a white nationalist committed to the movement’s core belief that Jews are the chief orchestrators of “white genocide” — the “great replacement” of whites in America by non-white immigration and the forces of multiculturalism The shooter’s anti-Semitism didn’t rise in a vacuum The dog-whistle rhetoric against George Soros and “globalists” voiced by the Trump administration right-wing politicians and Fox News in the days leading up to the shooting helped create the climate that motivated the shooter to take action Days after the shooting Vice President Mike Pence explicitly denied that Trump’s scapegoating rhetoric had played any role Six months later after another white nationalist shot up a synagogue in Poway killing one right-wing leaders — from Trump Jr to Ted Cruz — repeated this ploy rushing to point the finger at progressives instead of white nationalists For Jews still mourning the Pittsburgh massacre these added injuries were an outrage We’re all used to this pattern by now White nationalists continue to commit deadly attacks against Jews immigrants and other minorities while right-wing leaders continue to deflect from this reality and instead falsely portray progressive leaders and social movements from Ilhan Omar to the Women’s March as the chief threats to American Jews Now more than ever we need to understand and confront the threats posed to Jews and other minorities and multiracial democracy as a whole by white nationalism and the forces of Trumpism Mourners take part in a vigil for the victims of the shooting at Tree of Life Congregation Pittsburgh Pennsylvania October 29 Governor Tom Wolf/CC BY 20 It is with this in mind that my organization Political Research Associates has just released a new report “Taking Aim at Multiracial Democracy: Antisemitism White Nationalism and Anti-Immigrant Racism in the Era of Trump” in collaboration with Bend the Arc a progressive Jewish advocacy group The report highlights growing white nationalist anti-Semitism in the United States and its amplification by right-wing elected officials Fox News and segments of the general public from the time of the Pittsburgh shooting up to the present Since 2016 the United States has seen a frightening escalation of anti-Semitism across the right This has taken many forms ranging from Trump’s anti-Semitic campaign ads and claims of Jewish “disloyalty” to Republican rhetoric scapegoating George Soros and “globalists” the rise of the internet alt-right movement white nationalist street mobilizations like the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and deadly and attempted violence vandalism and arson targeting synagogues and Jewish cemeteries This anti-Semitism is intimately connected to racist and exclusionary rhetoric policy and violence against non-white immigrants and other minorities White nationalists hold the racist belief that non-white “others” are intrinsically inferior They also imagine Jews as the shadowy architects behind a strategy to undermine white civilization and carry out the “meticulously planned genocide of the European white race” in the words of the Poway synagogue shooter White nationalists believe Jews are orchestrating this so-called “white genocide” by encouraging non-white immigration and engineering a slew of progressive forces from the civil rights feminist and LGBTQ rights movements to multiculturalism “political correctness” and more These ideas don’t just exist on the fringes of the right White nationalist anti-Semitism is increasingly echoed and reinforced in dog-whistle form by prominent right-wing elected officials and media pundits including Trump himself These right-wing leaders echo the demonization of liberal Jewish philanthropist George Soros and the “globalist” or “cosmopolitan” elite as hidden masterminds of non-white immigration and various “liberal” causes from present-day impeachment proceedings against Trump to the “migrant caravan” during the 2018 midterms Black Lives Matter protests and more When right-wing leaders voice this rhetoric it legitimizes anti-Semitic conspiracies while granting it a massive public forum contributing to a climate that encourages white nationalist attacks on Jews and other minorities None of these tactics are new From early 20th-century Tsarist Russia to Nazi Germany conservative and ultra-nationalist leaders and social movements have long propagated the fantasy of a scheming immensely-powerful Jewish cabal that covertly manipulates world affairs While many forms of oppression “punch down” by declaring groups of people inferior based on race class and gender modern European-derived anti-Semitism claims to “punch up” at an imagined secretive elite class of Jews In so doing right-wing leaders and social movements use anti-Semitic scapegoating during times of intense inequality and instability in order to deflect popular discontent and discourage it from challenging the inequitable policies they uphold and benefit from As we explain in “Taking Aim at Multiracial Democracy” this anti-Semitism doesn’t only threaten the safety and vibrancy of Jewish communities It also bolsters and amplifies racist rhetoric and exclusionary policy against immigrants communities of color and other marginalized groups It serves as an effective scaffolding for full-frontal attacks against progressive movements and multiracial democracy as a whole Mourners take part in a vigil for the victims of the shooting at Tree of Life Congregation Pittsburgh Pennsylvania October 29 Governor Tom Wolf/CC BY 20 Given this reality it’s astounding that many continue to frame anti-Semitism as a threat that confronts Jews equally from both progressive and right-wing movements — or more astounding still as a primarily left-wing phenomenon Too often conversations around anti-Semitism within the American Jewish community and the broader American public are derailed by endless scrutiny of progressive women of color or activists for Palestinian human rights as the chief threat to American Jews This plays into the right’s well-documented strategy of championing their own apparent support for Jews and Israel in order to cover for their own racism and anti-Semitism This tactic also informs the right’s deepening unconstitutional attempts to pass legislation suppressing speech critical of Israel on American universities and elsewhere This dynamic was on full display in the events surrounding Bard College’s recent conference on anti-Semitism and racism which I attended as a proud Bard alum as a Jew and as a researcher deeply invested in these topics Shockingly keynote speaker Ruth Wisse barely mentioned white nationalism instead using her platform to tar critics of Israel progressive academics and college students and the entire Muslim and Arab world as the chief inheritors of global anti-Semitism after the Nazi Holocaust Equally frustrating The Forward’s Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon then published a scathing op-ed claiming that a student protest of Wisse’s keynote was anti-Semitic — a piece that was labeled a brazen mischaracterization by numerous firsthand accounts of the protest The tragic end result is that in the era of Trump and rising white nationalism the chief outcome of a conference on the vital and timely topics of racism and anti-Semitism seemed to be public bickering over whether or not a handful of largely Jewish student human rights activists are anti-Semitic To be clear like every other kind of oppression anti-Semitism is part of the air we breathe as a society and exists in different forms across our political spectrum When anti-Semitism appears today among progressives it is a significant obstacle to effective analysis and coalition-building and needs to be understood and challenged Right-wing anti-Semitism however is a violent threat to Jewish safety and continuity It helps fuel the far-right populist movement that brought Trump to power and continues to reshape our political landscape and it sits at the core of white nationalism which enjoys an expanding base of potential support across the United States Without appropriate interventions we can expect scapegoating rhetoric and deadly attacks against Jews as well as immigrants and other minorities to continue and even to escalate As American Jews we cannot afford to get confused as to where the real danger lies and where we can find allies and build safety through solidarity In order to protect our communities we must deepen solidarity between Jews immigrants Muslims and all groups targeted by white nationalism and the racist rhetoric of the Trump camp This means engaging with our differences in a shared understanding that it is the right which seeks to exclude and scapegoat our communities and silence our allies

from the East and Africa and it was loaded with meaning about education ethnicity and cultural practices It explained a lot Then there was a populist revolt Intelligent educated diverse and widespread populists started to kick up about being pigeonholed with all the nasty things With bad left stuff with bad right stuff and just with downright bad So now the liberals have decided that those things they don’t like those tricky election results they find hard to explain or process will no longer be simply branded ‘populist’ because that no longer works in explaining away some voting behavior that

masculinity leaves no place for men in a progressive society October 30th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Being a gentleman and displaying chivalry – opening doors for women or giving up your seat on the underground – might find you accused of conforming to a traditional gender stereotype while displaying boisterous behavior and telling politically incorrect jokes over a few drinks might find you denounced as part of the patriarchy Being the stoical tough guy might result in a charge of toxic masculinity and being deemed out of touch with your emotions while playing the sensitive nice guy who takes the sins of his gender past and present unto himself may not win the respect of females in the long run Ultimately would even the most ardent feminist want a man emasculated of all his traits both good and bad As I have written previously “While it is true that straight white men as a group have faced less obstacles than females non-straight men or ethnic minorities the majority of straight white men past and present also struggle to survive from paycheck to paycheck…” In developed and affluent countries the differences or privileges that exist between classes are far greater than those that exist between men and women from the same class Thus being told to ‘check your privilege’ or accept a portion of guilt by virtue of unwittingly being born into the patriarchy seems like a rather abstract concept to most working-class guys Certainly there are ‘privileges’ that men have which need to be checked Some of these include a reduced life expectancy and a higher rate of suicide compared to women Also on rtcom Unashamedly intolerant: Veganism promotes a religion of hate attempts to guilt-trip amp ridicule meat eaters In the past working-class men had stable jobs that allowed them to support families The loss of stable employment and its replacement with low-paid insecure work chipped away at male identity self-esteem and a sense of pride The void remains unfilled The question of male identity is as much a class issue as one of gender politics Guidelines published recently by the American Psychological Association APA warn about traits associated with traditional masculinity that are largely deemed harmful such as “stoicism competitiveness dominance and aggression” Yet these traits are a double-edged sword that at certain times in history played a necessary role and a psychologist who helped draft the guidelines acknowledging that in certain circumstances traits like stoicism and self-sacrifice can be absolutely crucial For instance a lack of such traits would have been disastrous whilst hunting wild beasts in the Paleolithic era or during the Normandy landings and battles on the Eastern Front in WWII While it is certainly true that men should be encouraged to discuss issues related to mental health and should not feel that they need to suppress their emotions all the time it needs to be accepted that many men think and communicate their feelings differently to the ways in which women do Also on rtcom GQ magazine’s ‘new masculinity’ is men in make-up and dresses VIDEO Men may be deemed to have a desire to protect and be less willing to talk about feelings while women might be considered more in touch with their feelings but at times too emotional Regardless of your perspective avoiding a discussion about these differences and seeking to ignore suppress or force them to converge on a middle ground is not an answer It is important to acknowledge that there are clear and vital differences in the way in which men and women act think and communicate Both men and women have their fair share of positive and negative traits Differences are not necessarily deficiencies and should be valued as equal and complementary where possible This will not be feasible by pushing towards a gender neutrality that seeks to obscure rather than acknowledge these differences Also on rtcom Toxic femininity: ‘Badass’ US women demand right

still the tribalism of gender exacerbated by fanatics on both sides prevents unity amongst two groups of people who share more similarities than differences Around a century ago German Marxist Clara Zetkin critiqued the bourgeois feminism of her day and came to the conclusion that“the proletarian woman fights hand in hand with the man of her class against capitalist society” Be it in class struggle or daily life both men and women need each other neither gender can fully thrive without the other Think your friends would be interested Share this story!

May Sporadically Cut Power To Californians For A DECADE By Tyler Durden Californians trying to justify living in the Golden State might be updating their Hits: 10 A Palestinian father’s call for justice October 30th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Mohammed Halabi Courtesy of family A Palestinian father calls for justice for his son a World Vision worker imprisoned by Israel for 3 1/2 years tortured but never allowed to testify against the preposterous charges of which he is accused by Khalil El-Halabi reposted from Times of Israel My son Mohammed Halabi has been imprisoned in Israel for 1226 days He has suffered torture He has endured 126 court appearances He has been moved from Ashkelon prison to Nafha Penitentiary and then to Rimonim Prison He has never seen all the evidence that the Shin Bet says it has against him He has never been given a chance to testify under oath in his own defense and he has not faced any cross-examination That’s not right and it’s not just Three years four months and nine days ago Mohammed who was the Gaza branch director of World Vision International was arrested at Erez Crossing on his way back to the Gaza Strip following a meeting with the organization’s board in Jerusalem The charge was preposterous My son was accused of funneling 7 million dollars a year of the international aid funds he managed to Hamas The sum is several times World Vision’s average annual budget in Gaza But bad math isn’t the only reason the charge is absurd My son believes deeply in the work he was doing World Vision in Gaza funds humanitarian projects and psychological help for children It provides support for farmers for fishermen It distributes school supplies to children Is this terrorism Mohammed was an outstanding student receiving a Master’s degree on a scholarship from the Palestinian Authority for excellence He started working for World Vision in 2005 while the PA not Hamas ruled Gaza He identifies with Fatah’s ideology and with those who believe in the way of peace He strongly opposes violence believing that humanitarian work is the best way to curtail violence in all segments of Palestinian society He felt the economic blockade of Gaza fomented violence and that humanitarian work reduces it My son was invited to Australia in 2014 and delivered a speech to its parliament about reducing violence in Gaza through humanitarian aid and he did the same in Germany World Vision scrutinized his work Project contracts were signed in Jerusalem for any partner working with the organization And my son advised the organization regarding which partners to work with leaving a clear email trail of his contacts Following his incarceration World Vision a global organization that prides itself on accountability and transparency engaged independent investigators who “found no diversion of funds by Mohammad and no material evidence that he was a member of or working for Hamas” “In fact” a World Vision spokeswoman told The Times of Israel “there is substantial evidence to the contrary showing how Mohammad worked to ensure World Vision avoided improper interactions with Hamas” Presenting the UNRWA human rights curriculum to Pres Jimmy Carter Courtesy German Australian and USAID launched investigations into how the funds they donated were used and found nothing supporting Israeli allegations “Unfair and inhumane” Given due process I’m confident Mohammed would be able to prove his innocence But the process has been unfair and inhumane The judge has pressured him to accept a plea bargain and admit to crimes he didn’t commit He has refused Adding to the difficulty is my son’s severe hearing loss the result of torture when an interrogator screamed directly into his ear Proceedings are carried out in Hebrew which my son does not speak and the translation supplied is inaccurate Why The Israeli security apparatus has refused to allow witnesses who could help my son’s defense enter Israel Why His lawyer is barred from going to Gaza to collect evidence and expose the truth Why As a father I have a message especially for fathers and mothers in Israel I believe you can see the human side of this case My son has five sons of his own who expect justice to prevail even in Israeli courts because their father is innocent and good and an unjust ruling will only prove that the Israeli judiciary system lacks integrity To the Israeli public I want you to know that I worked for UNRWA as an education director and implemented the first human rights curriculum in the region And I insisted on including the Holocaust in this course because I believe that we must not deny the injustice inflicted on Jews and that it’s part of history and I presented this curriculum to the US President Jimmy Carter These are the values I raised my son to uphold The Israeli courts must find Mohammed innocent in this case and be courageous enough to exonerate my son and apologize to him And when they do I will cheer and all lovers of justice and peace will cheer with me for a judiciary in the State of Israel that is just and impartial Khalil El-Halabi worked for four decades as an education supervisor in the Gaza Strip for UNRWA the United Nations refugee agency RELATED READING: Special Report: Israel’s Treatment of Americans Israeli Army’s Lies Can No Longer Salvage Its Image Palestinian woman on hunger

and peace for Palestinians – now he is positioned to make it a reality Sir Richard Branson billionaire activist and philanthropist understands the Palestinian plight As his airline begins operation in Israel will he be true to his own philosophy “social justice is good for business” by Kathryn Shihadah Last week Sir Richard Branson head of venture capital conglomerate Virgin Group made headlines when he emerged from his Virgin Atlantic flight and kissed the ground in the Tel Aviv airport The action sparks questions about Branson’s years-long devotion to the cause of justice Richard Branson kisses the ground as he arrives at Ben Gurion airport Wednesday Oct 23 2019 in Tel Aviv Israel The billionaire’s visit to Tel Aviv coincided with the announcement of new Virgin Holidays vacation packages in Israel The escorted tours will be available beginning in 2020 One of the excursions named “Classic Israel” includes time in Bethlehem – which is significantly not in Israel but in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory This is common practice among pro-Israel tour guides but perhaps the Virgin package would work with this group instead Virgin Airlines began daily Tel Aviv-Heathrow flights just last month When asked about his impressions of Israel Branson told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that “Israel and Palestine” had a great number of entrepreneurs who were “wonderful resilient people” Israeli newspapers widely quoted him as referring only to Israeli entrepreneurs but in reality he referred to both groups at least three times He also mentioned “We have invested in both Israel and Palestine” In fact Richard Branson has had an eye on the people of Palestine for at least a dozen years Branson builds a human rights Dream Team In 2007 Sir Richard Branson partnered with former South African President Nelson Mandela and musician and human rights advocate Peter Gabriel to create an international peace and justice alliance World-class figures came together to tackle some of the toughest issues of our time including nuclear nonproliferation climate change and access to justice The group – still in existence – is called the Elders The Elders with Richard Branson Peter Gabriel and fellow Advisory Council members at an Elders Board Meeting in Evian France 2015 Branson’s panel of Elders is a veritable Who’s Who of world social justice leaders many of them known for advocacy for human rights for Palestinians: Nelson Mandela microcredit pioneer Muhammad Yunus former WHO Director-General MuGro Harlem Brundtland Graca Machel widow of Nelson Mandela Mary Robinson former President of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Annan former Secretaries-General of the UN Archbishop Desmond Tutu Jimmy Carter and a number of Nobel Prize laureates Sir Richard Branson is one of the group’s biggest donors and a member of the Elders’ Advisory Council Palestine a “top priority” The long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of The Elders’ top priorities since the group was founded…Given the far-reaching impact of the unresolved conflict and the power imbalance between the parties The Elders believe the international community has a vital role to play in helping Israelis and Palestinians reach a lasting solution… The Elders call for a resolution to the issue “based on universal human rights and international humanitarian law” including a return to the pre-1967 borders a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem an end to the siege of Gaza and just solutions to the issues of Palestinian refugees settlement and annexation mutual security and division of natural resources The organization condemned President Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem Israel’s killing of unarmed protesters in Gaza and the US withdrawal funding from UNRWA Individual members of the consortium have denounced Israeli policy and practice: Desmond Tutu for example used the word “apartheid” as early as 2002 to describe the situation Nelson Mandela famously said “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians” President Jimmy Carter stated in his 2007 book Peace Not Apartheid that peace will be possible “only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law…The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories” Statements released by the Elders as a group such as this this and this make an honest attempt to assess the issue – more honest than most politicians They clearly feel no obligation to treat Israel with kid gloves They could go further in their demands for justice and confront the futility of the two-state solution – few groups have taken these steps Virgin says it cares about human rights As Branson pursued human rights in Israel/Palestine and the world Virgin Atlantic Ltd also nurtured a culture of social integrity: training employees and maintaining best practices in environmental responsibility human trafficking and human rights As recently as 2018 the company instructed Virgin Holidays’ destination managers on human rights issue awareness and reporting Its “2018 Modern Slavery Statement” explained “We have a regular presence in our top selling destinations and our people are encouraged and empowered to observe and raise any particular concerns…Our people engage with our customers and suppliers every day and need to understand how to uphold our human rights standards” In addition a company-wide whistleblowing policy is in place to field any employee concern that “goes against our policies and values” confidentially without fear of reprisal Virgin Atlantic’s website spells out its Responsible Supplier Policy: “to source goods and services in a way that treats the people we work with directly and indirectly with respect and dignity” based on international human rights standards – such as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights Branson’s public support for justice Sir Richard Branson has personally advocated for human rights – for Palestinians and other groups – at times on the company website and Facebook page In 2014 during and after the Israeli incursion into Gaza that killed 2250 Palestinians and 73 Israelis Branson released statements on his Virgin website calling for a worldwide commitment to the rebuilding of Gaza and “an internationally recognized state for Palestinians where they can live their lives with dignity” In another reference he recognized the disproportionate nature of the conflict: “Just watching Israel bombarding Palestine and Palestine sending one or two little rockets over to Israel—it’s just too sad for words” In this “war” Israel killed over 2200 Palestinians 73 Israelis were killed Branson has also made general statements: “Inequality is probably the biggest prohibitor that we face to creating a sustainable and equitable future for all of us” and “social justice is good for business” “Before” and “after” menus from Virgin Atlantic Virgin caves in 2018 Sir Richard Branson gave up control of Virgin Atlantic in July 2017 when he sold stakes in the airline taking him from 51 down to 20 He remains president of the company A few months later a scandal erupted Virgin Atlantic served an appetizer aboard some flights identified on the menu as “Palestinian couscous salad” This drew sharp criticism from Israel supporters some of whom called for a boycott of the airline and accused it of sympathizing with terrorists Some targeted Branson himself saying that he had shown his “true colors” presumably as anti-Israel Following the brouhaha the word “Palestinian” was removed from the menu the food item continued to be served and the management apologized for the “offense caused” A spokesperson for the airline acknowledged that couscous was a Palestinian dish but explained the decision as “a result of feedback” Is Branson a true advocate for Palestinian justice or a player Richard Branson has not been bashful in his calls for Palestinians to get a fair shake Taking a stand against Israel’s supposed “right to self-defense” setting justice and peace as priorities – these are positions that often come at high social cost But billionaires have plenty of social capital and can afford to throw money at human rights causes Branson has signed the Giving Pledge in which he vowed to give away more than half of his fortune to philanthropic causes during his lifetime That still leaves him with up to 2 billion What would make Sir Richard Branson a true advocate for Palestinian justice not just a big talker He could dare to demand of his new destination Israel the same human rights standards he required in Virgin Atlantic – respect and dignity for all people directly or indirectly impacted by the company based on the principles laid out in the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights He could do what no superpower or international human rights organization has ever done: hold Israel to international standards Why Because Richard Branson has what Israel craves: recognition a vehicle to take the country to legitimacy a golden ticket to the high tech world that Israel wants more than just about anything Branson could be considered a Palestine ally with leverage Dear Sir Richard You could potentially create a legacy of epic proportions – if you dare You could change the lives of millions of Palestinians who have lived on the edge of hopelessness for decades The “something ghastly” you spoke of ten years ago has happened is happening Please in your unique position at this moment invoke your philosophy – “social justice is good for business” – and demand Israeli compliance with the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights The Declaration states that all rights and freedoms belong to all people “without distinction of any kind…including national or social origin” – yet as you know Israel maintains separate discriminatory laws and policies that apply only to Palestinians The Declaration affirms that “no one shall be subjected to torture” that accused persons have the right to “a fair and public hearing ”and that “no one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest detention or exile” – yet Israel routinely tortures Palestinian prisoners including children operates a military court system for Palestinians in violation of international law and has practiced arbitrary arrest detention and exile for decades Israel also regularly violates Palestinian rights to “freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state” to “leave any country including his own and to return to his country” and to “a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family including food clothing housing and medical care” Indeed the UN-guaranteed right of return is for many Palestinians a top priority and arguably one of their most important demands The right of return was also emphasized in a UN resolution in 1948 All of this you know Sir Richard and all of this you deplore Will you put your mouth where your money is by calling out Israel for its many human rights violations and demanding compliance with the United Nations document – before you do business there …or will you kiss the ground that was stolen from indigenous peoples Kathryn Shihadah is staff
