Israel seeks builders for West Bank settler homes
July 18, 2011 06:08 AM EST |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JERUSALEM — A government official says Israel is seeking builders to erect 336 apartments in Jewish West Bank settlements.
The bids went out Monday even as international leaders are trying to get Israelis and Palestinians back to peace talks after months of deadlock over settlements.
Ariel Rosenberg, the spokesman for the Ministry of Construction and Housing, says developers will compete to build 294 apartments in Betar Illit and 42 apartments in Karnei Shomron.
Rosenberg estimated Monday that construction would begin within a year and be completed in about three years.
Jewish settlement construction has stymied peacemaking for months. The Palestinians say they won't negotiate while Israel builds on lands they want for a future state. Israel rejects that demand.[1]

Obama Administration in talks with radical
Muslim Brotherhood?
Dear Jeff,
In a startling reversal, the Obama Administration is spreading hints that it will begin formal talks with the radical extremist Muslim Brotherhood. Apparently, their belief that the Muslim Brotherhood will dominate the new government of Egypt after this fall's elections led to the change, despite the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most violent terrorist organizations in the world and despite their continued refusal to recognize the right of Israel to exist.
As the Administration welcomes the Quartet—the UN, the EU, and Russia along with the US—to Washington for another round of talks aimed at restarting the peace negotiations the Palestinians walked away from last September, it is a troubling sign that they are cozying up to one of Israel's most bitter enemies. Reports leaked late last week that several family members of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin (wife of disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner) are part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Secretary of State Clinton will represent the US at the Quartet talks, and she has been firm in supporting the Obama Administration's plan to force Israel to retreat to the 1967 borders and divide the Holy City of Jerusalem.

This Day…
July 18, 586 BCE: Jeremiah spoke this prophecy at the outset of Nebuchadnezzar’s siege on Jerusalem in 588 B.C. Jeremiah 21:1-14.[2] Also Ezekiel spoke the following prophecies in January 588 B.C., the month his wife died. Ezekiel 24:1-27.[3] On January 15, 588 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon lays siege to Jerusalem under Zedekiah's reign. The siege lasts until July 18, 586 BCE.[4]
July 18, 64: During the reign of Emperor Nero, the Great Fire begins in Rome. After the fire, Nero avoided the initial inclination to blame the blaze on the Jews. Instead, he targeted the nascent Christian sect which had recently become active in the city. Possibly Nero who saw himself as a god felt personally threatened by Christianity which also worshipped a Divinity who had come to earth in human form.[5]
64 A.D.
In 64 A.D., Peter wrote his first letter to remind the churches in northeast Asia Minor of the blessings of their salvation and to encourage them to persevere through their persecution. 1 Peter 1:1-2:12.[6]
64 A.D.
When fire broke out in Rome in 64 A.D., destroying three quar4ters of the city, Nero blamed the Christians and had many of them in Rome arrested and killed. Tacitus, the Roman historian, offers us the gruesomne details. Those captured were torn to death by dogs, crucified, and set on fire on the grounds of the imperial palace whle Nero invited the populace for the display and rode around in his chariot.[7]
An emerging cult calling themselves Christians is the perfect target. The leader of the Christians, Peter, is an outlaw. To be a Christian at that time meant you were a traitor. It is a crime. Those rounded up included Peter, their 64 year old leader, the first disciple of Jesus Christ. According to legend, Peter asked to be crucified upside down. He felt he wasn’t worthy to die like his savior. Peter was supposedly buried in a shallow grave on Vatican hill. Over the centuries that grave was lost. [8]
64 and 65 A.D.
Between 64 and 65 A.D. some churches were being overrun by a false teaching that denied the return of Christ. Jude wrote to counter these teachinbs and to encourage the believers to persevere in their faith. Jude 1:1-16. [9]
July 18, 1195: The Moslem Almohads (‘Proclaimers of the Unity of Allah’) score a great victory over the Christian Catilian King Alfonso VIII at the Battle of Alacros. The Almohads were a sect of Moslem fundamentalists who invaded the Iberian Peninsula from North Africa. They were determined to defeat the Christian forces fighting to take Iberia back from the Moslems. As part of their agenda, the Almohads also punished the Moslems living in Spain for having become ‘soft’ and moderate in their views on Islam. They also punished the Jews of Spain who lived among the Moslems for being agents of their corruption. Many Jews would flee Spain as the Almodhades consolidated their power, thus marking the end of the Golden Age. One of those departing because of the Almodhades was Maimonides and his family.[10]
July 18, In 1287, he arrested several prominent Jewish leaders and demanded the community produce a 12,000-pound ransom for their freedom. The date for the actual order of expulsion is given by some as July 12 and by others as July 18.
July 18, 1290 Edict of Expulsion: Edward I expels all Jews from England, allowing them to take only what they could carry, all the other property became the Crown’s Official reason: continued practice of usury.[11]

The Governor's Council of the Virginia colony voted to award Washington's Virginia Regiment and the South Carolina Independent Company 300 pistols (coinage) "as a reward for their bravery in the recent engagement with the French" at Fort Necessity. [12]

[Fort Cumberland, July 18, 1755.]
Honour'd Mad'm: As I doubt not but you have heard of our defeat, and perhaps have it represented in a worse light (if possible) than it deserves; I have taken this earliest opportunity to give you some acct. of the Engagement, as it happen'd within 7 miles of the French Fort, on Wednesday the (July) 9th. Inst.
We March'd on to that place with't any considerable loss, having only now and then a stragler pick'd up by the French Scoutg. Ind'nd. When we came there, we were attack'd by a Body of French and Indns. whose number, (I am certain) did not exceed 300 Men; our's consisted of abt. 1,300 well arm'd Troops; chiefly of the English Soldiers, who were struck with such a panick, that they behav'd with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive; The Officers behav'd Gallantly in order to encourage their Men, for which they suffer'd greatly; there being near 60 kill'd and wounded; a large proportion out of the number we had! The Virginia Troops shew'd a good deal of Bravery, and were near all kill'd; for I believe out of 3 Companys that were there, there is scarce 30 Men left alive; Capt. Peyrouny and all his Officer's down to a Corporal was kill'd; Capt. Polson shar'd near as hard a Fate; for only one of his was left: In short the dastardly behaviour of those they call regular's expos'd all others that were inclin'd to do their duty to almost certain death; and at last, in dispight of all the efforts of the Officer's to the Contrary, they broke and run as Sheep pursued by dogs; and it was impossible to rally them.
The Genl. was wounded; of w'ch he died 3 Days after; Sir Peter Halket was kill'd in the Field where died many other brave Officer's; I luckily escap'd with't a wound, tho' I had four Bullets through my Coat, and two Horses shot under me; Captns. Orme and Morris two of the Genls. Aids de Camp, were wounded early in the Engagem't. which render'd the duty hard upon me, as I was the only person then left to distribute the Genl's. Orders which I was scarcely able to do, as I was not half recover'd from a violent illness, that confin'd me to my Bed, and a Waggon, for above 10 Days; I am still in a weak and Feeble cond'n; which induces me to halt here, 2 or 3 Days in hopes of recov'g. a little Strength, to enable me to proceed homewards; from whence, I fear I shall not be able to stir till towards Sept., so that I shall not have the pleasure of seeing you till then, unless it be in Fairfax; please to give my love to Mr. Lewis and my Sister,42 and Compts. to Mr. Jackson43 and all other Fds. that enquire after me. I am, Hon'd Madam Yr. most dutiful Son

DE PEYSTER TO THOMAS BROWN, StPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.]
“DETROIT, July 18, 1782.
“Sir:— I am happy to inform you that the Indians from this quarter have g~ined a complete victory over six hundred of the enemy who had penetrated as far as Sandusky, with a view of destroying the Wyandots, men, women, and children, as they had done with ninety-six of the Christian Indians at Muskingum [Tuscarawas] a few weeks before.
“The affair of Sandusky happened on the 4th of June, w’ien the enemy left two hundred and fifty in the field; and it is believed that few of the remainder escaped to Wheeling.
“Their major, [John] McClelland, and most of the officers were killed in the action. Colonel Crawford, who commanded, was taken in the pursuit and put to death by the Delawares, notwithstanding every means had been tried by an Indian officer [Matthew Elliott] present, to save his life. This the Delawares declare they did in retaliation for the affair of Muskingum [the ‘Gnadenhuetten affair’].
“I am sorry that the imprudence of the enemy has been the means of reviving the old savage custom of putting their prisoners to death, which, with much pains and expense, we had weaned the Indians from, in this neighborhood. . . - A’T S. DE PEYSTEE.

The infantry of the Guard also acquired more foreign elements. The Velites of Florence received Guard status in 1809, those of Turin in 1810. In 1813 the battalions of Velites were increased to 800 with Young Guardsmen who spoke Italian.
Napoleon enlarged the Young Guard several times.
In 1809 were formed the following regiments:
- - - 1st and 2nd Tirailleurs-Grenadiers, in 1810 renamed to 1st and 2nd Tirailleurs
- - - 1st and 2nd Conscrit-Grenadiers in 1810 renamed to 3rd and 4th Tirailleurs

July 1814
In Greenville, Ohio, a famous council was held in July 1814, in which the “western” tribes agreed to support the United States against Great Britain. One of the signers was Wabaunsee, an influential Potawatomi war chief who lived on the Kankakee River in Illinois, now Kankakee County, Illinois, about forty miles southwest of Lake Michigan.
Wabaunsee later told Colonel McKenney that he buried the tomahawk forever, in the Indian phrase, on the day he “took the Seventeen Fires by the hand…”[21]
July 1834
Henry Bedinger of the County of Berkely and State of Virginia declares that his Brother George M. Bedinger now a resident in Nicholas County, Kentucky, and himself entered as Volunteers, for one year, early in the month of June 1775, in the Company of Volunteer Riflemen then raising in Berkeley County, by Captain Hugh Stephenson, that they Marched in said Company and arrived at the siege of Boston, and served the full term for which they Was engaged, that subsequently the said G M Bedinger entered as a Volunteer in a Company Commanded by Captain William Morgan of Berkeley Commanded by Captain William Morgan of Berkeley…[10][22]
1835
In 1835, Jackson managed to reduce the federal debt to only $33,733.05, the lowest it had been since the first fiscal year of 1791.[20] President Jackson is the only president in United States history to have paid off the national debt. However, this accomplishment was short lived. A severe depression from 1837 to 1844 caused a ten-fold increase in national debt within its first year.[[11][23]
1835
David Friedrich Strauss published ‘The Life of Jesus Critically Examined in 1835, in which he treated the gospels as “mytho-poetic” writings. Soon after, Bruno Bauer, a German theologian , maintained that Jesus never existed at all in his Critiq ue of the Gospels and History of Their Origin.[12][24]

In Boston, directly opposite the State House, facing Beacon Street, stands one of the nations;s most important war monuments, a memorial to interracial cooperation as well as to individual heroism.
When the Civil War broke out in 1861, many of Massachusetts’ black residents wanted to join the fight to free their enslaved brethren. ButU.S. Army policy prohibited blacks from enlisting.
] After pleas from Governor Andrew, the War Department relented and allowed blacks to serve, but not as officers. Some of the state’s most prominent young white men then volunteered to lead the black troops of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Among these was Robert Gould Shaw, only son of one of Boston’s first families, and the colonel of the regiment. It was a risky venture for both black soldier and white officer. The black men, if captured, would become slaves’ the whites were seen as traitors to their race by the Confederate Army. Shaw and 32 of his men were slain leading the assault on Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863 and were buried in a mass grave at the fort.
This monument was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the leading American sculptor of the time. It took 14 years to complete, and was the first sympathetic portrayal of black men by a whit e artist. Dedicated on Decoration Day of 1897, it is one of the finest works of art to come out of any American war. It’s also the starting point for the Black Heritage Trail.[26]

July 1865
The Confederate Cemetery, Rock Island Illinois.
The only tangible remains of the Rock Island Barracks is the Confederate Cemetery. The Rock Island Barracks was one of 21 prison camps operated by the Union. From December 1863 to July 1865, 12,192 Confederate prisoners were held at the prison camp. A total of 1,960 prisoners died. Each gravestone identifies the individual soldier, his company, and his unit.
The National Cemetery Administration maintains the Confederate Cemetery. [29]
Among the Confederates who were imprisoned at Rock Island were Anthony Baker (23rd Va. Cavalry) and Lemuel Brill (18th Va. Cavalry), grandsons of Francis Godlove (Franz Gottlob).[30]

• July 18, 1942: Dannecker telexes Eichmann that the raids will be carried out gby the French police from July 16 to July 18 and it is expected that about 4,000 children will be among those arrested.
• Dannecker sets out the main arguments in favor of deportation of these 4,000 children: to prevent promiscuity between them and non-Jewish children under Public Assitance care; and the impossibility that the ‘U
• GIF can care for more than 400 of them. Dannecker requests an urgent response to the question of whether, beginning with the tenth convoy (July 24), the 4,000 children can also be deported. These will be children ages 2 to 16, whose fate Premier Laval has said does not interest him. The minimum age for children to be deported is set at two because the Special Commission has exembpted from arrest mothers with children under two and the children themelves. Dannecker further requests an urgent response to a question posed in his July 6 telex; whether beginning with convoy 15, he can deport children under 16 whom Vichy will deliver from the Unoccupied Zone and whom Laval had asked Knochen to deport with their parents.[31]
July 18, 1942
Rothke reports to Berlin by telex the numbers of Jews areested during the raids., Again, he insists that the children be deported; they represent 4 of the 20 loaded transports he is committed to provide. To persuade Eichmann, he makes use of an argument advanced the day before by the French police officials, that is, the considerable difficulties that would be imposed by long term care of the children.
The staff of the prefect of police is alerted by a social work assistant who is trying to arrange some help for the 8,160 Jews, half of them children, held in the Vel d’Hiv. (The final count for the roundup is 13,152 arrests; 4992 adults without children are interned in Drancy, where the prisoner count reaches 6,626, a thousdand more than the camp’s “forced” capacity.) The social work assistant emphasizes the polic’s lack of preparation rfor the arrsts; nothing has been anticipated at the Velodrome, where the assistant has seen “sick shildren, overflowing chamberpots… [and only two doctors.”[32]
On July 18, 1942, Heinrich Himmler promoted Auschwitz camp commandant Rudolf Hess to SS major. He also ordered that the Warsaw ghetto, the Jewish quarter constructed by the Nazis upon the occupation of Poland and enclosed first by barbed wire and then by brick walls, be depopulated—a "total cleansing," as he described it. The inhabitants were to be transported to what became a second extermination camp constructed at the railway village of Treblinka, 62 miles northeast of Warsaw.
Within the first seven weeks of Himmler's order, more than 250,000 Jews were taken to Treblinka by rail and gassed to death, marking the largest single act of destruction of any population group, Jewish or non-Jewish, civilian or military, in the war. Upon arrival at "T. II," as this second camp at Treblinka was called, prisoners were separated by sex, stripped, and marched into what were described as "bathhouses," but were in fact gas chambers. T. II's first commandant was Dr. Irmfried Eberl, age 32, the man who had headed up the euthanasia program of 1940 and had much experience with the gassing of victims, especially children. He was assisted in his duties by several hundred Ukrainian and about 1,500 Jewish prisoners, who removed gold teeth from victims before hauling the bodies to mass graves.
In January 1943, after a four-month hiatus, the deportations started up again. A German SS unit entered the ghetto and began rounding up its denizens—but they did not go without a fight. Six hundred Jews were killed in the streets as they struggled with the Germans. Rebels with smuggled firearms opened fire on the SS troops. The Germans returned fire—machine-gun fire against the Jews' pistol shots. Nine Jewish rebels fell—as did several Germans. The fighting continued for days, with the Jews refusing to surrender and even taking arms from their Germans persecutors in surprise attacks.
Amazingly, the Germans withdrew from the ghetto in the face of the unexpected resistance. They likely did not realize how few armed resisters there were, but the fact that resistance was given at all intimidated them. But there was no happy ending. Before this new incursion into the ghetto was over, 6,000 more Jews were transported to their likely deaths at Treblinka.[33]
Convoy 57, July 18, 1943
There was no Convoy 56, on Jun 24, 1943, contrary to the Rutkowski story. The file, containing 450 names, is only a projected convoy. Examination of the names shows that they left for Auschwitz in later convoys or were not deported. Once again, the Auschwitz calendar believed that the deportees of this phantom convoy were all gassed, since no trace of them could be found. The report on Brunner’s inspection of Drancy (CCXXI-19; quoted in Convoy 55) probably would have indicated a convoy of June 24 had there been one, since it specifically mentioned the convoy of June 23.
Document CCXXI-19 describes Convoy 57 as “deportation to the East of 1,000 internees, among them many French in origin, and a large number of women and children.” A note of July 17 (DLXII-26) describes the organization of the departure of the convoy.
This was the first routine telex to Eichmann and Auschwitz signed by Brunner, the great master of Drancy beginning at that time. It indicated that the convoy left on July 18 at 9:30 AM for Auschwitz, not from Le Bourget/Drancy, but from Paris/Bobigny, with 1,000 Jews. On July 11, it was Brunner, not Rothke, who telexed Eichmann to ask his agreement for the departure of the convoy. The deportation list took on the appearance that would be maintained until the last convoys: neither place of birth nor nationality was recorded. Brunner knew what Auschwitz was. And while Rothke and Dannecker knew, too, Brunner was more cynical and wished to avoid extra work. So for him it was sufficient to indicate only the i9ndispensable items, first name, family name, date of birth, and profession k that would trick the deportees into believing that they were going to work.
The convoy carried 522 males, 430 females, and 18 undetermined. Of the total, 126 were under 18. The order is more or less alphabetical, but nationality, of course, is not indicated. However, we were able to establish the place of birth for most of the deportees by comparing the list with those obtained in the Ministry for War Veterans.
Henri Bulawko, who was later to be president of the Organization of Jewish Deportees of France, was part of thei convoy. This passage is from his book, Les Jeux la Mort et de L’Espoir (The Games of Death and Hope; pp. 51-3.):L
“Two nights and three days in the sealed freight cars. We were loaded 60 people where 30 would have had difficulty fitting… The train stopped. The door opened suddenly and all the questions were answered, an unexpected answer, unimaginable, inhuman. Brutally the door is pushed open and nightmarish moments followed. Strange people, in striped clothes, jump on the train, like gnomes who have escaped from hell. Behind them, the SS, rifles pointing at us and crying: ‘Los, raus, alles raus, Los’ (Fast, outside, everyone outside, fast).”
Sim Kessel, in Pendu a Auschwitz (Hanged in Auschwitz), also describes this arrival in Auschwitz (p.66):
“Schneller, Schneller.” Faster! How can we go faster? We are falling all over one another, caught in this unexpected ferocity. The women cry under the blows trying to protect their children.”
Upon their arrival, 369 men were selected and assigned numbers 130466 through 130834; 191 women were selected and given numbers 50204 through 50394. The rest of the convoy was immediately gassed.
There were 52 survivors in 1945, 22 of them women.[34]
On Convoy 57 was Wolf Gotliber, born April 14, 1907 in Mlatta.
