I Get Email!

Dear Jeff,

Psalms 65:4 says, "Blessed is the man whom thou chooses and causes to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple."

In David's time, God had chosen the line of Aaron to approach unto God and be the High Priest. In this verse, we see David's recognition of God's blessing upon those who were chosen by God to have a close relationship with HIM.

HR Comment: How Moral Equivalence Erodes Accurate Reporting
April 13, 2011 15:48 by Alex Margolin


When Judge Richard Goldstone published his famous op-ed reconsidering the Goldstone Report, he – perhaps unintentionally – revealed one of the predominant biases of the Goldstone Committee that produced the report. The committee, it appears, was operating under a deep-set assumption of moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas.

The same bias of moral equivalence can be seen in the coverage of the recent violence between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

While virtually all mainstream news outlets covered the story as an action-reaction, started by Hamas’s attack on an Israeli school bus and carried on by Israel’s retaliatory strikes on targets in Gaza, the coverage gives the misleading impression that Israel and Hamas are morally equal.

What’s left out of the coverage is the element of intentionality. More specifically, it glosses over the reality that Hamas’s intention was to kill Israeli school children and Israel’s intention, in firing back, was to defend its citizens.

The distinction between the two sides is most clearly evident when their intentions are examined. The original, flawed Goldstone Report, however, was so mired by the biases of its authors that no distinctions were made.

Even Goldstone now admits that there was no evidence pointing to any Israeli intention to target Palestinian civilians during the Gaza war. In the absence of evidence pointing clearly in either direction, his “reasonable conclusion” was to assume Israeli guilt:

That the crimes allegedly committed by Hamas were intentional goes without saying — its rockets were purposefully and indiscriminately aimed at civilian targets.

The allegations of intentionality by Israel were based on the deaths of and injuries to civilians in situations where our fact-finding mission had no evidence on which to draw any other reasonable conclusion.

In other words, the committee decided that since Palestinian civilians suffered, Israel targeted them on purpose unless it proved otherwise – just as Hamas intentionally targeted Israeli civilians.

Amazingly, the committee could not recognize that Israel’s sole intention for going to war in Gaza was to stop Hamas rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians. Had there been no rocket fire, there would have been no war.

But in a world of moral equivalence between aggressor and victim, intentions are irrelevant. Both sides fired and both sides caused civilian casualties. Therefore, both sides are morally equal.

This bias of moral equivalence – the failure to distinguish between Hamas’s intentional aggression against Israeli civilians, which “goes without saying” and Israel’s intention to protect its citizens against this aggression, for which there is apparently “no evidence” – is often reinforced in media coverage of the region.

As the violence escalated over the weekend, article after article focused on Israel’s retaliation to the trigger event – Hamas’s intentional attack on an Israeli school bus with an advanced anti-tank rocket.

This Associated Press article was typical of the coverage of the violence in Gaza:

Israel pounded Hamas targets in Gaza with air strikes and tank shells Saturday, killing four militants, Palestinian officials said, as Palestinian missiles reached deeper into Israel in the most intense round of fighting since the Gaza war.

In all, 18 Gazans have been killed and more than 65 wounded since Israel unleashed the strikes following a Hamas attack on an Israeli school bus Thursday. An anti-tank rocket struck the bus, seriously wounding a 16-year-old boy and injuring the driver.

It might seem reasonable to report, first and foremost, on casualties, especially when recounting the latest events. But a dry retelling of the actions without noting the intentionality behind them fails to convey the spirit of what happened.

Instead of presenting the events as Hamas intentionally attacking children on a school bus and Israel trying to prevent such attacks by pursuing those responsible, we get a play-by-play of the violence that has the strange ring of tit-for-tat attacks in a moral vacuum.

Time magazine even used the term tit-for-tat in its “teaser” – the one-line summary of the article – for its coverage of the Gaza flare-up.



The term suggests that all of the violence is essentially equal, as though Hamas’s intentions were irrelevant. In the AP article, it is Israel that “unleashed” strikes, as though the bus attack wasn’t really a trigger after all.

It is no wonder that people see the issue as a “cycle of violence.” When the media fails to make a distinction between Hamas’s aggression and Israel’s defense, it leaves out the essential element of the story that allows people to make sense of what’s happening.

But accurate reporting would show things as they truly are – with one side shooting precision missiles at school kids and firing rockets from within its own civilian population (see video below). Then people may understand there is no more equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Maybe even Goldstone is starting to see it.

Passover Haggadah Story



As we prepare for the Passover holiday, consider taking a moment to read about a beautiful Haggadah that also served as a sign of the resistance of the Jewish spirit! “The Haggadah (which means ‘the telling’ in Hebrew) is an important element of the Jewish Passover holiday. Reading the book is a Jewish rite in order to learn how the Jews escaped to freedom from slavery in Egypt. Every Jewish household has a copy. Szyk’s edition draws parallels between repressive regimes of Nazi Germany and the ancient Egyptians. In his original artwork for the book, Szyk placed swastikas onto Egyptian figures but he was persuaded to remove them because of concerns that a religious text should not be tainted by racist images. The Haggadah features a story about four sons - one is wise, one is wicked, one is simple, and the last does not know to ask. Szyk’s wicked son is clearly Germanic complete with a little Hitler moustache. “

American Jewish Artist Club Show



The American Jewish Artist Club, a prestigious and world class group of talented artists in Chicago will be exhibiting a very special show open to the public at the Swedish American Museum, 5211 North Clark Street, Chicago, from June 19 - September 11.



The show is entitled "A Gift of Hope." The theme asks artists to respond to the diplomatic dispatches from Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish business man assigned during the closing months of WWII to the Swedish legation in Budapest, Hungary. His assignment was to report on the conditions of the Jewish citizenry, along with his concerns and efforts that contributed to saving 100,000 Hungarian Jews from Hitler's death camps. (At the end of the War, Wallenberg was ultimately sent to a Russian prison, never to be found)



The Opening Reception will be Sunday, June 19th, 1-4 PM. A Gallery Walk is scheduled that day at 2 PM.



"Letters & Dispatches 1924-1944: Raoul Wallenberg" is available at the Geneva Library for those interesting in reading Mr. Wallenberg's chronicles.



Randie Hope LeVan, a FVJN member, is to be a juried member and has three paintings accepted into the Exhibition. Way to go Randie!

Egyptian Presidential Candidate Threatens War
with Israel



Dear Jeff,

In an interview with an Arab-language newspaper, Egyptian presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei said that if Israel launches attacks on Gaza while he was president, "we would declare war against the Zionist regime." He also said that he would open the Rafah border crossing (closed by Hosni Mubarak to prevent terrorists from smuggling weapons) and "consider different ways to implement the joint Arab defense agreement."

ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency who stonewalled efforts to stop the nuclear program in Iran and to find evidence of Saddam Hussein's nuclear ambitions, is considered one of the leading candidates for the office in this fall's elections for Egypt's new government. His use of the radical Islamist formulation constantly used by Iran's President Ahmadinejad, "the Zionist regime" to avoid calling the Jewish state Israel, is a further indication of his viewpoint.

The fact, that ElBaradei believes such inflammatory rhetoric will help him gain votes shows how radicalized the Egyptian population has become through the work of the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist and anti-Semitic organizations. ElBaradei also declared that Israel "controls Palestinian soil" and stated his desire to address what he called "the imbalance of power in the region."

This Day…

April 21, 753 BCE: According to tradition, on this Romulus and Remus founded Rome. Considering the impact that Rome would have on the Jewish people this date is worth noting.[1]

753 B.C.

Hosea’s ministry began around 753 B.C., during the reigns of King Uzziah (Azariah) of Judah and King Jeroboam II of Israel.[2]

753 B.C.

Jeroboam II dies. 2 Kings 14:29. Zechariah succeeded Jeroboam II as the king of Israel in 753 B.C.[3]

752 B.C.

Shallum became the king of Israel in 752 B.C.[4]

752 B.C.

Menahem became the king of Israel in 752 B.C.[5]

c. 750 B.C.

Expanding from the Crimean Peninsula through the Caucasus southward into Asia Minor, the Cimmerians threatened the Assyrian Empire. Allied with the Assyrians they destroyed the kingdom of Urartu. However, they were subsequently pushed westward and moved through Asia Minor, defeating the Phrygian kingdom and king Gyges of Lydia (killed defending his land). .[6]

Subsequintly some of the priests migrated to Nubia, where their successors founded a theocratic state with its capitalo at Napata.[7]

750 B.C.

Jotham began to coreign as king of Judah with his father, Azariah, in 750 B.C.[8]



[9]

747 to 656 BC



[10]

747 to 656 BC.

745 to 727 BCE: The firstr Assyrian ruler to make a significant appearance on the eastern shores of the Mediterreaning was Tiglath-pileser III (745-727), who marked thed beginning of ta new era in Assyrian history, launching several campaigns against the empire’s western neighbors. In the wake of these early Assyrian forays, Israel, a relatively prosperous kingdom in the northern part of Palestine, entered a long turbulent period.[11]

740 B.C.

Isaiah was called to his prophetic ministry the same year that Uzziah died (740 B.C.). Isaiah 6: 1-13.[12]

April 21, 586: Ricard I became King the Visigoth King of Hispania. “A year later converted from he Arianism for Catholicism, which changed the nature of life in Iberia in the same way that Constantine's conversion had changed things in the Roman Empire. Recared approved the Third Council of Toledo's move in 589 to forcibly baptize the children of mixed marriages between Jews and Christians. Toledo III also forbade Jews from holding public office, from having intercourse with Christian women, and from performing circumcisions on slaves or Christians. Still, Recared was not entirely successful in his campaigns: not all Visigoth Arians had converted to Catholicism; the unconverted were true allies of the Jews, oppressed like themselves, and Jews received some protection from Arian bishops and the independent Visigothic nobility.”[13]



March 21, 629: Emperor Heraclius marched into Jerusalem at the head of his army. Heraclius was head of the Eastern Roman Empire. During the fifth and sixth centuries the Christian rulers tried to make life for Jews in Palestine as difficult as possible. Heraclius was defeated by the Persians and the Jews sided with the Persians who were viewed as liberators. The joy was short lived as the Christians re-took the land from the Persians and punished the Jews severely. Ultimately all of this matter very little since the Arabs would soon appear in Palestine and Islam would become the dominate force.[14]



April 21, 1073: Pope Alexander II passed away. In 1063, Pope Alexander II had given his blessing to Iberian Christians in their wars against the Muslims, granting both a papal standard and an indulgence to those who were killed in battle. This was another act in the battle between Moslems and Christians for control of Spain. The Jews were caught in the middle and their fortunes fluctuated over the centuries. In hindsight, this was really just one more step in the long path that led to the expulsion in 1492. [15]



1073: IN 1073 Alp Arslan’s son and successor, Malik Shah, appointed his cousin, Suleiman bin Kutulmish, as Sutlan of Rum, that is Roman Empire, with the task of conquering the country.

The task was made easy by the Byzantines themselves. The provincial Byzantine troops could not contain the invaders. They retired to the coastlands followed by much of the Christian population. Constantinople itself was distracted by intrigues around the throne. On the news of Romanus Diogene’s captivity his stepson, Michael Ducas, took over the government. He was a cultured, intelligent youth who, in better times, might have been a good Emperor.[16]



1076: The Fatimids recovered Jerusalem, and Atsiz called in a Seldjuk prince, Tutush, the brother of Malik Shah, to help him. [17]



April 21, 1499: The New Christians, including those who had been forcibly baptized, are forbidden to leave Portugal.[18]

1499: Jews expelled from Germany.[19]



1500

Isle of Iona in the Reilig Orain (S. Oran's Chapel),

The altar slab of the Cathedral itself came from MacKinnon's country of Strath. It was one of the finest pieces of marble ever seen, being granulated and pure white. No trace of it now remains. Close to the altar on the north side of the choir, is a tomb stone of black marble quite entire, on which is a very fine recumbent figure of the Abbot MacFingon, as large as life, in his sacred robes, with a crozier in one hand, and the other lifted up to his chin, elbowing two lions at one end, and spurning two at the other. This elegant tomb stone which has always been considered the stateliest in the island, is supported by four pedestals about one foot high, and round the margin is the inscription, "Hic jacet Johannes Macfingone Abbas de Hy [Iona,] qui obiit anno Domini millessimo quingen tessimo [I500], Cujus animae propitietur DEUS altissimus. Amen." [20]

1500

Linguists believe that as many as “age of exploration.” Today only 6,000 spoken languages are left, and perhaps as many as 90 percent of these will be lost by the end of this century. We are losing a language every two weeks through the same migration process that is mixing the world’s genetic lineages. [21]

1500

Go back twenty generations, to about 1500 CE, and there could be, theoretically, over one million ancestors who could have contributed to your nuclear genes. In practice, many of these potential ancestors will actually be the same individuals, whose lines of descent have come down to you along different pathways, crossing between males and females through the generations in an unpredictable way. Tracing the genealogy of all 30,000 genes through this maze of interconnections would be quite impossible.[22]

1500

The Spanish brought horses to America about 1500.[23]

April 21, 1506: Three days of anti-Semitic rioting ends in Lisbon, Portugal where two thousand Jews were killed by the mobs.[24]

April 21, 1509: The first of the Tudor monarchs, Henry VII, died in 1509 after a reign of twenty-four years. His flamboyant eighteen year old son succeeded him, and would thereafter be known as Henry VIII.[25] Henry negotiated the marriage between his son, the Catherine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain (the monarchs who had expelled the Jews from Spain). One of the terms of the marriage was that the Jews would never be allowed to return to England. If Henry had not agreed to this term, the marriage would not have taken place.[26]

April 21, 1649: The Toleration Act was passed by the Maryland Assembly. It protected Roman Catholics within the American colony against Protestant harassment, which had been rising as Oliver Cromwell's power in England increased. Maryland had been founded under the Catholic Calvert family. They were trying to create a refuge for English Catholics. The Jews benefited from what was a clash between different branches of Christianity.[27]

In 1650, Lauchlan Mackinnon raised a regiment of his clan for the services of Charles II.[28]



1650: Methodically, mercilessly, the loose coalition of New York tribes had not only defeated many surrounding tribes and subjected their people to the most diabolical tortures, they also deliberately exterminated some, such as the Erie tribe in 1648 and the Neutrals during the following year. Other tribes were simply defeated and driven out, including the heretofore powerful Hurons. That tribe, longtime inhabitants of the Niagara area and greatly revered by the other tribes, inder the duress imposed upon them by the Five Nations, (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk) meekly migrated to the Michigan country in 1650. Soon afterward those same Hurons divided themselves to form yet another tribe, the Wyandots. The parent Hurons remained in Michigan, but the newly formed Wyandots planted fresh roots in the soil of the Ohio country just south of Lake Erie.[29]



April 21, 1729: Birthdate of Catherine the Great, Tsarina of Russia from 1762 to 1796. Under Catherine, Russia took part in the three-way partition of Poland which gave Russia its large Jewish population. At first, her treatment of her new Jewish subjects was fairly tolerant. She saw them as an economic asset. But in her later years she succumbed to the demands of Christian merchants and began to tighten the noose around the neck of the Jews. In the end, she laid the groundwork for the creation of what came to be known as The Pale of Settlement.[30]





George Washington to Andrew Lewis, April 21, 1758



Fort Loudoun, April 21, 1758.



Sir: I do not yet know, whether any of the Levies raised by the newly appointed Officers, in consequence of the late Act of Assembly, will fall to our share; and as we want about 130 men to complete the Virginia Regiment, I earnestly recommend, that you will use the most efficacious means in your power to recruit your quota in Augusta, and its Borders: Farther than this District I would not have you send Officers recruiting, as they must be ready to join you as soon as the Troops are ordered to this place. I have no money to send you for this purpose (which is a misfortune) but you may give the Recruits the strongest assurances, in myname, that they shall, upon their arrival at this place, receive each man £10 and a suit of Clothes, advantage of the Recruits for the New Regiment. I would have you send Lt. Crawford4 directly to this place; he is well acquainted in those parts, and I hope from such encouragement, will be able to pick up some clever fellows.



[Note 4: Lieut. John Crawford.] (William Crawford’s son.)



I have so often, and earnestly recommended the due practice of the Soldiers in their Exercises, that it is needless, I hope, to urge it again to [you] in this letter. But I must desire, that you will take great pains to get all your Arms straightened, and the men taught to shoot well at Targets, as that is an highly necessary qualification in our Service.



I offer my Compliments to Captn. McNeill, and all the Officers, and am, Sir, etc.[31]



April 21, 1792



Other records of Col. William Crawford’s heirs, who emigrated to the western frontier, were descendants of his daughter Effie, who married William McCormick. In Pendleton County, Kentucky, a few members of this branch are represented. William McCormick (undoubtedly the son of William and Effie (Crawford) McCormick and grandson of Col.William Crawford), from Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is recorded as having 500 acres n the South Fork of the Licking River; 4 miles above the said Fork, part of Philip Pendleton’s survey containing 1,900 acres. Dated April 21, 1792. Book A. page 225; Book A, page 406; Book G, page 12, Dated July 27, 1803.[32]





April 21, 1835 Francis Godlove Junior posted bond to administer Francis Godlove’s estate: brother-in-law Henry Detewick [Didawick] surety.[33]





April 21, 1835: The younger Francis Godlove administered the estate of his father. In the bond, the deceased was called Francis Godlove and the administrator was Francis Godlove Junior. He posted his bond on April 21, 1835 with Henry Detewick [Didawick] as suretor.

Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob first appeared in Hardy Co. tax lists in 1795. He is listed in the Hardy County personal property tax lists from 1795 through 1805 and is in Hampshire 1806-1825. Probably after that date he was exempt from taxes because of his age, and, perhaps his poverty. Excluding his 178 acres of mountain land, his personal property was appraised in 1835 at $27.71. In 1821 he was listed as on the delinquent tax list, (for personal property--horses, cattle, etc.), but the assessor reported he could find no taxable property.

In 1793 and 1794, in Shenandoah County, Frederick Heiskell of Edinburg paid the personal property tax for [no first name] Gutlope/Gudlope. These might be references to Francis Godlove. On April 2, 1790, a Francis Cutliff was in Augusta County. Sarah, daughter of Franz and Maria Gottlob, was born November 5, 1789 and baptized March 14, 1790 at Altalaha Lutheran Church, Rehrersburg, Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. These suggest a man on the move.

I want more evidence, but it looks like Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob of Hardy and Hampshire Counties was the Johan Franz Gottlob who deserted in July 1783 from Mallet's Company of the Linsing Regiment of Hessian Grenadiers shortly before they left New York after the American War for Independence. This Franz Gottlob was born in Werneck, principality of Würzburg (now in Bavaria). The military records give his year of birth as variously 1751-1753. An 1805 court record says Francis of Hampshire County he was 61 at that time, so born 1744.[34]



April 21, 1836: The brave defense of the Alamo became a powerful symbol for the Texas revolution, helping the rebels turn the tide in their favor. At the crucial Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 910 Texan soldiers commanded by Sam Houston defeated Santa Ana's army of 1,250 men, spurred on by cries of "Remember the Alamo!" The next day, after Texan forces captured Santa Ana himself, the general issued orders for all Mexican troops to pull back behind the Rio Grande River. On May 14, 1836, Texas officially became an independent republic. [35] Gary and Mary Goodlove discovered the name of a Harrison on the official plaque at the Alamo. It is not known if he is a relative. I bet that he is. The Harrison’s never miss a fight.







April 21, 1853: Catharina GUTLEBEN was born on April 21, 1853 in Muhlbach,Munster,Colmar,Upper Rhine,Alsace.

Catharina married Mathias BRAESCH on May 1, 1877 in Muhlbach,Munster,Colmar,Upper Rhine,Alsace. [36]



April 21, 1856: The first railroad bridge over the Mississippi River opens between Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa.[37]

April 21, 1893: The convoy arrived in Auschwitz on September 11. Twenty three men were selected for work and received numbers 63471 through 63493. A considerable number of men had been previously selected in Kosel for work (see Convoy 24). Sixty eight women were also left alive and were given numbers 19414 through 19481. The rest were gassed immediately.



The Ministry for War Veterans lists only 22 survivors from this convoy in 1945. One of them was Aron Gogiel, who managed to save his three sons and come home with them. Our research in Belgium enabled us to add 21 names to the list of survivors of this convoy, for a total of 43.



The list of Deportees on Convoy 31 included Joseph Gottlieb, born October 10, 1880, and Mato Gottlieb, born April 21, 1893. Both were from Poland.[41]



April 21, 1913: “Have not the Christians appropriated the entire Jewish sacred scriptures? Was not the New Testament also written entirely written by Jews? Was not Jesus also born of the Jewish race, if I may speak of it with due reverence? Did not we Christians get much or the most of what we have from the Jews? Why should anyone work so hard to proselytize the Jew? His pure belief in the one true living God …is one of the unbroken lineages and traditions of the world….” New York Mayor William J. Gaynor



April 21, 1921: April 21, the Hopkinton school board voted to permit all the school children from the Best district to attend the graded elementary school in Hopkinton. The Best district was a subdistrict of South Fork School Township adjacent to the Hopkinton school district on the latter’a east side. The South Fork School Township agreed to pay the Hopkinton district a flat rate of $500 for the next school year, while the Best district provided for the transportation of its students to Hopkinton. Although contractual relationships of this sort had been permitted for more than two decades, this appears to have bgeen the first instance of one bgeing formalized in Delaware County. This served as a reminder that consolidation was not the only alternative available to a rural district or subdistrict interested in having its students attend a modern garaded school. In partivular, the reminder seemed to be directed at the many families in Union Township to whom Hopkinton was more accessible than the proposed site of the new Buck Creek school. While this helped the anticonsolidation cause, opponents of the Buck Creek proposal had less than a week to organize and file their objections with the county superintendent. To make matters worse, just when opponents began circulation petitions objection to the formation of the district, a major snowstorm hit the area, making travel difficult and dangerous for several days. Nevertheless, warmed by the thought of those burning crosses, and determined to be heard this time, opponents succeeded in optraining a remarkably large number of signatures protesting the formation of the district.[42]



• April 21, 1933: Ritual slaughter is outlawed in Germany.[43]

These transactions were seemingly made in Hamilton County, Ohio, when Jane and John Lillard and Mary Ann McCormick signed off to Charles McCormick. (See the last will and testament of William McCormick, Sr. of Fayette County, Pennsylvania). These records mentions a Graham Wallace.(From River to Tymochtee and Col. William Crawford, 1969. p. 188.)

[38] Banks left Grand Ecore the night of April 21 and marched 32 miles to Cloutiersville without a halt. With Wm. Steel’s brigade, Wharton drove the Federal rear guard from Natchitoches, took some prisoners, and continued the pursuit behod Cloutiersville. Bee’s cavalry was in a position at Monett’s Bluff, about six miles due south of Cloutiersville, to block the Federal retreat while Wharton and Polignac attacked their rear. Bee was, however, driven off by a frontal attack by Emory and an envelopment by Birge from the west (Taylor’s spelling is Monette.)

Low water continued to impede Porter’s struggles to get his fleet down the river. The Eastport, largest of the ironclads, struck a mine (“torpedo”) eight miles below Grand Ecore and settled on the bottom. She was raised and gotten another 40 miles downstream before grounding again. After being once more floated free, again she was stopped by obstructions in the river. Adm. Porter had boarded the light draught Cricket and gone to Alexandria to bring back two pump boats to aid in saving the Eastport. However, when he returned with these, the Champion 3 and 5, the leak could not be found. When the ironclad grounded again she had to be destroyed (April 26).
