Israel’s Online Response to Palestinian UN Vote
September 22, 2011 11:43 by Simon Plosker

[Translate] class="translate_loading" v:shapes="translate_loading_post-27058">

Even in the realm of public diplomacy, Israel is singled out for trying to defend itself. Take this article from Politico that profiles the IDF’s New Media Desk:

The IDF is also proactive on social media, with accounts on Twitter (in English, French and Arabic), the photo-sharing website Flickr and the video-posting website YouTube. “We just launched a [Facebook] page a month ago – now we have over 127,000 ‘friends,’” [Lt. Col. Avital] Leibovich bragged.

While the Internet is populated with huge amounts of anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic content, why does the media prefer to make Israel’s public relations efforts the story? Tools such as Facebook and YouTube are available to anyone to use. Yet, when Israel and her supporters utilize these platforms quite legitimately, the media singles this out as somehow newsworthy.

The next few days will see a diplomatic battle with huge potential consequences taking place at the United Nations over the unilateral Palestinian bid for statehood.

At the same time, the public diplomacy battle is being fought to explain exactly why the US, Israel and many other European and Western democracies are opposed to the Palestinian course of action.

The message is clear – a declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UN will do nothing to achieve the ultimate goal of peace. Only direct negotiations between the two parties can bring an end to the conflict and offer Palestinians (and Israelis) a better future.

To assist Israel’s efforts online, many organizations, including HonestReporting, have produced videos in the run-up to the UN vote. Please view a few of them below and spread them as widely as possible to your friends, family and through social media networks such as Facebook.

With a critical mass behind them, these videos will be seen beyond Israel’s traditional supporters.

The Truth About the Peace Process
His last video “The Truth About the West Bank” was considered to be such a threat to the distorted Palestinian historical narrative that Palestinian Authority spokespeople publicly condemned it. Now, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon is back in time for the UN vote with his latest look at “The Truth About the Peace Process”.

This Day…



September 25, 275 Marcus Claudius Tacitus appointed Roman emperor by the senate. By now the Roman Empire was in decline and Emperor’s served at the pleasure of the Army. In the case of Tacitus, that meant a mere six months. One of the Emperor’s greatest claims to fame was his relationship to the Tacitus, the famous first century Roman historian. When it came to writing about the Jews, Tacitus (the historian) was not bothered by the facts. He helped to propagate the claim that the ancient Israelites were a group of plague-infested Egyptians who were driven into the desert to die. In his Histories sounded themes that would be the staple of anti-Semites for the next two thousand years. Jewish customs were vile and disgusting. The vileness of their customs were actually the source of their strength. Jews were compassionate and honest when dealing within their own community, but have nothing but contempt for the rest of mankind. He did not see them as a political threat, but saw them as a corrupting influence that would undermine the moral fiber of the empire. For this reason he advocated that they become as far from the imperial capitol as possible.[1]



September 25, 1396: Ottoman Emperor Bayezid I defeats a Christian army at the Battle of Nicopolis. The Battle of Nicopolis is referred to as the Last Crusade. The clash was between the Moslem Ottomans and a alliance of Hungarian and French knights. This French connection is ironic considering other events taking place at that time. In 1394, two years before this climatic fight, “Sultan Yildirim Bayezid invited the French Jews who were molested by King Charles VI, to the Ottoman Empire. They were settled in Edirne and the Balkans. The French Kings had the habit of inviting the Jews to establish commerce and borrowing money from them. However often, when payment was due, they expelled them; only to re-invite them when they needed further financing.” [2]

1397: Both parties evidently came to an agreement again in regards to Gutleben’s employment, for in 1397 the Colmar magistrate agreed to give to the physician Master Johann each year 2 lib. Strassburg currency and for the current year and four loads of wood, wheras Gutleben was promised 6 lib. per year and four loads of wood besides. These appear to be untypical for our Vivelin/Gutleben; if he had looked for other employment at that time it would not be surprising.[3]

1397: This employment in Basel turned out to be the first time the Jewish physician was the only Israelite in the town except for his household, for in 1397 all other Jews, in fear of their lives, had fled from the city because of renewed accusations against them for poisoning wells.[4]

September 25, 1690

Publick Occurrences, printed in Boston, becomes the first newspaper in the Colonies.[5]



September 25, 1694: Birthdate Henry Pelham who while serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom would oversee the passage of the Jew Act of 1753, which allowed Jews to become naturalized by application to Parliament.[6]



September 25, 1725: King Louis XV of France married Maria Leszczynska. Jews may well have taken part of the wedding celebrations since Louis XV had publicly guaranteed the rights of Jews living in southern France when he came to throne in 1723. This change in policy from his father Louis IV may have been the result of 110,000 lives payment made in honor of “the joyous event of his Majesty’s coronation.”[7]

Essex County in which Andrew2 Harrison (compilers 7th great grandfather) lived and died, became in

1727, a part of the newly-erected County of Caroline.[13]



1727
In 1727, a colorful comment that tells us something about the man, and about the time in which he lived, was entered in Essex County Order Book 7, "Andrew2 Harrison being arrested at the suit of James Gillison in debt and he having rescued himself by a superior force out of the sheriff's custody, order is granted to the said plaintiff against the daid defendant for what shall appear due at next Court unless the defendant then appear and answer the said suit."

September 25. 1771: Dunmore actively served as royal governor of the Coloney of Virginia from September 25, 1771 until his departure to New York in 1776, he continued to hold the position until 1783 when American independence was recognized and continued to draw his pay. [15]



September 25, 1773: Washington wrote to William Crawford to take up land down the Ohio, below the mouth of the Sciota River.[16]



No. 16. [17] George WASHINGTON TO William CRAWFORD.





MOUNT VERNON, September 25, 1773.



DEAR Sir :—I have heard (the truth of which, if you saw Lord Dunmore in his way to or from Pittsburgh,[18] you possibly are better acquainted with than I am) that his Lordship will grant patents for lands lying below the Scioto, to the officers and soldiers who claim under the proclamation of October, 1763. [19] If so, I think no time should be lost in having them surveyed, lest some new revolution should happen in our political system. I have, therefore, by this conveyance, written to Captain Bullitt,4 to desire he will have ten thousand acres surveyed for me; five thousand of which I am entitled to in my own right.; the other five thousand, by purchase from a captain and lieutenant.

I have desired him to get this quantity of land in one tract, if to be bad of the first quality; if not, then in two, or even in three, agreeably to the several rights under which I hold, rather than survey bad land for me, or even that which is middling. I have also desired him to get it[20] as near the mouth of the Scioto, [21] that is, to the western bounds of the new colony, [22] as may be; but for the sake of better lands, I would go quite down to the Falls, [23] or even below; meaning thereby to get richer and wider bottoms, as it is my desire to have my lands run out upon the banks of the Ohio. If you should go down the river this fall, in order to look out your own quantity under the proclamation, I shall be much obliged to you for your assistance to Captain Bullitt in getting these ten thousand acres for me, of the most valuable land you can, and I will endeavor to make you ample amends for your trouble; but I by no means wish or desire you to go down on my account, unless you find it expedient on your own. Of this, I have written to Captain Bullitt, under cover to you, desiring, if you should be with him, that he will ask your assistance.

As I have understood that Captain Thompson [24] (by what authority I know not) has been surveying a good deal of land for the Pennsylvania officers, and that Dr. Connolly[25] has a promise from our Governor of two thousand acres at the Falls, I have desired Captain Bullitt by no means to involve me in disputes with any person who has all equal claim to land with myself, under the proclamation of 1763.

As to the pretensions of other people, it is not very essential; as I am told that the Governor has declared he will grant patents to none but the officers and soldiers who are comprehended within the proclamation aforementioned; but even of these claims, if I could get lands equally as good, as convenient, and as valuable in every respect, elsewhere, I should choose to steer clear. [26]

Old David Wilper, who was an officer in our regiment, and has been with Bullitt running out land for himself and others, tells me that they have already discovered four salt springs in that country; three of which Captain Thomp­son has included within some surveys he has made; and the other, an exceedingly valuable one, upon the River Ken­tucky, is in some kind of dispute. I wish I could establish one of my surveys there; I would immediately turn it to an extensive public benefit as well as private advantage. However, as four are already discovered, it is more than probable there are many others; and if you could come at the knowledge of them by means of the Indians, or otherwise, I would join you in. taking them up in the name or names of some persons who have a right under the proclamation, and whose right we can be sure of buying, as it seems there is no other method of having lands granted; but this should be done with a good deal of circumspection and caution, till patents are obtained.

I did not choose to forego the opportunity of writing to you by the gentlemen who are going to divide their land at the mouth of the great Kenhawa, though I could wish to have delayed it till I could hear from the Governor, to whom I have written, to know certainly whether he will grant patents for the land which Captain Bullitt is surveying, that one may proceed with safety ; as, also, whether a discretionary power, which I had given Mr. Wood[27] to select my land in West Florida, under an information, even from his Lordship himself, that lands could not be had here, would be any bar to my surveying on the Ohio; especially as I have heard since Mr. Wood’s departure that all the lands on that part of the Mississippi, to which he was re­stricted by me, are already engaged by the emigrants who have resorted to that country. Should I, however, receive any discouraging account frorri his Lordship on these heads, I shall embrace the first opportunity that offers afterwards to acquaint you with it.

By Mr. Leet[28] I informed you of the unhappy cause which prevented my going out this fall.[29] But I hope nothing will prevent my seeing you in that country in the spring. The precise time, as yet, it is not in my power to fix; but I should be glad if you would let me know how soon it may be attended with safety, ease, and comfort, after which I will fix upon a time to be at your house.[30]

I am, in the meanwhile, with sincere good wishes for you, Mrs. Crawford, and family, your friend, etc.[31]



No. 17.—WASHINGTON TO CRAWFORD.



MOUNT VERNON, September 25, 1773.



DEAR SIR :—Since writing the inclosed, [32] I have further understood that the Governor, from some displeasure at Captain Bullitt’s conduct (whether for surveying at all or for other persons, besides those claiming under the procia­ination, or whether for a speech and engagement which he entered into with the Indians), has ordered him in.[33] If the Governor’s displeasure proceeded from the last-mentioned cause, I should be glad (in case of your going down the river in pursuit of your own land) if you could obtain a license from him to survey my quantity of ten thousand acres, as I will endeavor to get him to authenticate it, in order that I may proceed to patenting of it, if the Governor thinks himself at liberty to grant one.

I have written to Bullitt to this effect, and though I know I gave him mortal offense, by interesting myself in procuring the commission I did for you, yet I have some expectation of his complying with my request. If he does comply, you must know from him what surveys he has made, as also what entries are lodged, in order that you may steer clear of them; and I would recommend it to you to use dispatch, for depend upon it, if it be once known that the Governor will grant patents for these lands, the officers of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Carolina, etc., will flock there in shoals, and every valuable spot will be taken up contiguous to the river, on which the lands, unless it be where there are some peculiar properties, will always be most valuable. I am, etc. [34]

September 25, 1777

On the 25th of September the army, moving in two columns, advanced as far as Germantown, five English miles from Philadelphia. The right wing extended through the town toward Frankford Creek and the left as far as the Wissahickon. The Hessian jager Corps was posted by a stone bridge over the latter to form an outpost toward the Schuykill.[35]

September 25, 1780: Of the more than 1,000 mounted riflemen who assembled at Sycamore Shoals on September 25, Shelby and Sevier brought 240 each. Colonel William Campbell, a towering, red-haired Scot carrying the family’s Highland broadsword, came in with 400 Virginians. Colonel Charles McDowell arrived with 160 of his North Carolinians. The majority of those present brought their womenfolk and children, who came to see fathers, sons, or brothers off to the war. The gathering had a gala air. As Dykeman recounts: “The men talked and planned and prepared. The women cooked, made last minute patches or polishings on clothing or equipment, and they talked and worried over the dangers” (With Fire and Sword). [36]



September 25, 1789: At Federal Hall in New York America’s first Congress proposes a bill of rights. “ The first amendment was ratified and becomes part of the Constitution in 1791. “Congress shall make no more the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”[37] The establishment of religion on a national level was expressly prohibited in the U.S. with the adoption of the First Amendment, the opening words of which read: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' This line from the Bill of Rights gave de jure recognition to a concept that has made the American experience different for the Jews than anything else that they had encountered during their centuries of living in the Diaspora. There would be examples of discrimination against Jews in the United States such as covenanted real estate, college quotas, and oaths invoking the Christian deity. But these proved to be minor compared to what had happened elsewhere in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East where Jews were second class citizens because there was always a state religion be it Islam or Christian. Final ratification of the First Amendment would come in 1791. [38]

September 25, 1861: WILLIAM HARRISON6 MCKINNON (NANCY5 HARRISON, SARAH4 CRAWFORD, WILLIAM3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1) was born November 29, 1789 in Pennsylvania, and died September 25, 1861 in Logan Co., OH. He married KITTIE FOLEY February 23, 1815 in Clark Co., OH. [39]

September 25, 1890

(Pleasant Valley) Miss Cora Goodlove is attending school in Marion. Cora is a good scholar and we hope she will be successful.[42]



September 25, 1919: The trustees of Buck Creek Church agreed to pay their new pastor a salary higher than that of any other Methodist pastor in the county. This did not go unnoticed, drawing the following commentary from the editor of the Manchester Press: “Big Salary for Rural Pastor”. The Hopkinton Leader says that the official board of the Buck Creek Church has decided to pay the pastor a salary of $2,000 per year and house rent. Ever been to Buck Creek? Well, it is purely a farming community, no town to draw on, yet the farmer church goers of that locality feel able to pay a preacher $200 a year more than is received by the pastor of the Methodist church in Manchester. We say that is going some.” [43]



• September 25, 1941: In Kovno, the Germans gave the Jewish Council 5,000 work passes, placing upon them the burden of choosing who shall work and live, and who shall die.[44]



• September 25, 1942(14th of Tishrei, 5703): Four hundred eighty-one French Jews, including Rene' Blum, the brother of the former French Prime Minister were killed in Birkenau.[45]



September 25, 1942



• 1942: Two thousand more Jews were deported from the "show ghetto" at Theresienstadt.

1942: Learning about the impending liquidation of their ghetto, some Jews of Korets, Ukraine sought refuge in the woods while others resist by setting the ghetto ablaze. Resistance is led by Moshe Gildenman.

1942: Swiss police decree that race alone does not guarantee refugee status, thus preventing Jews from crossing the Swiss border to safety.

1942: Seven hundred Romanian Jews, interned at Drancy, are deported to Auschwitz.

1942(14th of Tishrei, 5703): Abraham Gamzu, chairman of the Jewish Council at Kaluszyn, Poland, is executed after refusing to deliver Jews for deportation. Six thousand of the town's residents are deported to the Treblinka death camp and later killed.

1942: Lian Berkowitz, a member of the anti-Nazi Red Orchestra was arrested and formally charged today in Berlin.

1942(14th of Tishrei, 5703): 475 French Jews are gassed at Auschwitz. One of the victims is ballet director René Blum, the brother of former French Prime Minister Léon Blum.[46]





Convoy 37, September 25, 1942



Convoy 37 was primarily (729) composed of Romanian Jews. On September 24, the day before the departure, 1,594 Romanian Jews had been arrested in the Paris region. A series of Gestapo and German diplomatic service documents made it possible to reconstruct the steps taken by the Nazis to seize this particular group of Jews. Romania was allied with Germany. But under the pressure of Gustav Richter, Eichmann’s representative in Bucharest, the Romanian Jews living in France lost the protection of their government. On September 17, the German Embassy had told the Gestapo that Romania and Bulgaria were no longer interested in their Jews. They thus became deportable (XXVa-252). The next day, the Gestapo informed the RSHA in Berlin that the deportation of Romanian Jews would not exceed 3,000 persons (XXVc-177; related documents are XXV-45; XXVa-121 to 150 and 252; XXVI-65; and XXVc-175 to 178). Arrested on September 24, more than 700 Romanian Jews were deported the next day. The majority of them were gassed in Auschwitz on September 27, less than 80 hours after they lost their freedom in Paris.[47]



Erwin Gotlieb, born August 6, 1896 in Caica, Romania was on board Convoy 37. [48]



There were 473 males and 531 females in this convoy. One hundred twenty seven were children under 17. The list, in very poor condition, comprises six sublists.



1. Camp of Le Vernet—71 people, ranging in age from 17 to 57.

2. Camp of Rivesaltes—83 people. Men and women; no birthplace listed.

3. Special list—7 people.

4. Drancy—571 people, among them many entire families.

5. Drancy 2—238 people.

6. Last minute departures—37 people,



The routine telex to Eichmann and Auschwitz was composed by SS Heinrichsohn and signed by his superior, Rothke. It stated that convoy 901/32, transporting 1,000 Jews, left Le Bourget/Drancy on September 25 at 8:55 AM for Auschwitz, under the supervision of Feldwebel Poller. It also indicated that among the deportees was film producer Nathan Tannenzapf ((see sublist 3), deprived of his French citizenship by the French government.



This convoy, carrying a total of 1,004 people, arrived in Auschwitz on September 27, after a selection at Kosel of .0 175 men. In Auschwitz, another 40 men were selected for work and received numbers 66030 through 66069. Ninety one women received numbers 20913 through 21003. The rest of the convoy went immediately to the gas chambers.



In 1945, 15 people remained alive. [49]



• Lazarus Gottlieb, born July 20,1866 in Lemberg, Galizien. Charlottenburg, Bleibtreustr. 49; 67. Alterstransport. Resided Wohnhaft Berlin. Deportation: from Berlin September 25,1942, Theresienstadt . Date of death: October 29,1942 am, Thereseinstadt. [50]



• September 25, 1943: 1943: The Chief Rabbi of Athens, Ilia Barzilai, escaped from the city disguised as a peasant. He reached Thessaly where he promoted the Greek partisans, saving some 600 Jews by smuggling them across the Aegean to Turkey. The smuggled boats and money came from the Jewish Labor Federation in Palestine.

1943: After two days of selections, only 2,000 out of 10,000 Jews remained in the Vilna Ghetto. They were placed in local labor camps.[51]



September 25, 2007: Yuval Baruch, an achaeologist with the Israeli Antiquities Authority, announced the discovery of a quarry compound which provided King Herod with the stones to renovate the second Temple. It houses the Temple Mount Coins, pottery and iron stake found proved the date of the quarrying to be about 19 BC. Archaeologist Ehud Netzer confirmed that the large outlines of the stone cuts is evidence that it was a massive public project worked on by hundreds of slaves. [52]

[8] The Stephenson Homestead

After leaving the Crawford home and its quaint little spring house, we proceed westward to route 340, which we cross and follow a curved lane alongside a pasture, where thirsty livestock graze by Buliskin’s cool stream. Stopping in front of the house, we are greeted by a beautiful green lawn with huge shade trees; and here is a straight concrete walk, unusually wide, leading to a white pillared porch. The structure is brick, lending an air to the solid southern hospitality, for which this region is noted.

On either side of this fine old genteel hone are two smaller buildings (each with the same styling and size), constructed of native stone and are exceedingly noticeable. These too, have weathered the storms of tine and are said to be about the same age of the house. A typical arrangement, bearing evidence of early American history, when negro help was depended upon. The stone building on the right is said to be a kitchen, where servants prepared the meals for the master and his family, to be served in the large dining room of the big house. The stone building on the left is similar to the one on the right, except for a small window, rather high above the door (center front). This building is known as a school house in the past.

[18] Lord Dunmore visited Pittsburgh as he and Washington had contemplated; but the latter, as will presently be seen, was unable to accompany him. The governor’s journey was made during the summer of this year. On his way, he tarried awhile at the home of Crawford.

[19] This report, which had reached the ears of Washington, was an erroneous one.

[20] Thomas Bullitt, a prominent Virginian and land surveyor, de­scended the Ohio in 1773 to survey lands in Kentucky. He had no authority from Governor Dunmore to make surveys in that region; notwithstanding which he ran out several tracts. Other parties who descended the Ohio at the same time went also without any permit from his lordship. The latter, while at Fort Pitt, wrote Bullitt advising “him to return again immediately.” He knew nothing whatever of his surveys.

[21] The Scioto, one of the largest of the northern tributaries of the Ohio, enters the latter stream at Portsmouth, three hundred and sixty miles below Pittsburgh.

[22] “Walpole’s Grant “—a large tract of land, solicited by Thomas Walpole and others of the Crown, lying upon time Ohio above the Scioto, but upon the other side of the river. This “grant” was never perfected; it would have included time whole of Northwestern Virginia.

He was a nephew of Colonel Croghan, and “a very sensible, intelligent man,” who previously had traveled over a good deal of time country watered by the Ohio and its tributaries. He soon after, as the agent of Dunmnore, played an important part in affairs at Pittsburgh, in attempting to maintain the possession of Fort Pitt and its dependencies for the colony of Virginia, and to put the militia and other Virginia laws in force—the governor claiming the country as a part of that province.

[26] Some Pennsylvania officers, claimants to land on the Ohio, among them being Col. John Armstrong, who sent Capt. William Thompson to meet Captain Bullet a the mouth of the Scioto and make surveys in that region.

“Application was made to the Governor and Council of Virginia, in 1774, by the agent of these associated officers, for leave and permission to survey and lay off the pot tions of land which they were respectively entitled to under the proclamation a 1763. That the Governor and Council were of opinion that the claim of the asic officers was well founded, and a commission was thereupon granted by the master of William and Mary College, to Captain William Thompson, appointing him either a principal or deputy-surveyor for the purpose of making the said surveys withis Virginia. The said Thompson, being duly authorized, proceeded to make the sur veys, and did actually make and complete them on Salt Lick River, then in Virginia now in Kentucky. . . . Thompson, when he had completed a draft of the surveys and made the necessary arrangements with the associated officers for the complctios of the titles, proceeded, in the year 1775, to the office in Virginia, for the purpose a returning the said surveys, and having them duly accepted; but, as a previous condi tion to their acceptance, it was required of him that he should take an oath of alle giance to the King of Great Britain, which as a patriot, from principles of attachmen to his country, he refused to take, and consequently, the surveys were not accepted and the patents notissued.” (See Report of Mr. Boyle to the House of Representativcs Feb. 3, 1807.)Ford.

[27] James Wood, a prominent Virginian. By the proclamation of 1763, three new colonies were established in America—Quebec (Canada), East Florida, and West Florida. Wood, upon proposing to visit West Florida, in March, 1773, was requested by Washington to have ten thousand acres surveyed for him in that country, if he could find such lands as he thought would answer his purpose; as he “had never yet been able to designate the lands to which” he was “entitled under his Majesty’s proclamation of October, 1773.”

[28] Daniel Leet, a native of New Jersey, but an early resident of that part of the western country which afterward became Washington county, Pennsylvania. He was a surveyor, and was frequently employed as such by Washington. He was born Nov. 6, 1748; died, June 18, 1830, in Alleghany county, Pennsylvania.

[29] The “unhappy cause” was the death of Miss Custis, the daughter of Mrs. Washington by her former marriage.

[30] Washington never again visited Crawford. The Revolution was at hand; in which contest the latter perished miserably by torture, at the stake, on the 11th ,June, 1782.

[41] The section of the Valley that Sheridan’s troops found themselves in had not been occupied by a Union army since the war began. Complying with Grant’s orders, the troops drove off all the cattle, destroyed the food and forage they could not carry, and burned the grain mills.
