US Jewish communities test emergency system
by Yaakov Lappin, Jerusalem Post, 9 March 2009
In the wake of ongoing terror threats to Jewish targets around the world, representatives of American Jewish communities are now testing an integrated rapid-response system designed to allow communications during times of emergency and to share security information on an ongoing basis.
The Secure Community Network (SCN) program is being run under the auspices of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and was launched in 2003 in cooperation with the Jerusalem-based Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI).
As part of the initiative, representatives of US Jewish communities recently held a meeting with JPPPI officials aimed at enhancing the relationship between the two parties.
The SCN was founded after the JPPPI highlighted a need to create a program for emergency management, communications and response to serve America's Jewish community.
"The JPPPI looked at professional aspects regarding preparedness, coping and reconstruction in the context of crisis management," said Avinoam Bar-Yosef, Director of the JPPPI.
The JPPPI and the Jewish Agency have encouraged US and European Jewish communities to set up their own emergency communications and response programs out of a sense that "all Israel is responsible, each for the other," Bar-Yosef added.
Through SCN, the organized Jewish community has established a coordinated approach to critical security needs, including proactive planning and establishing common standards for improving security at the national and local levels.
SCN offers expertise, guidance and assistance to Jewish organizations and institutions on protection against terrorism and other threats. There is also a crisis communication system that allows the rapid dissemination of critical information to all SCN members.
SCN maintains close working relationships with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, intelligence and counter-terrorism units. For example, it receives regular notices of security alerts from the Department of Homeland Security. It also gives member communities information on how to obtain grants from the department for security projects.
In addition, SCN maintains contact with major Jewish communities worldwide to share information and experience and to maximize resources.
The SCN Web site gives tips on a wide variety of security issues, such as school security and travel safety. It tells readers how to recognize "seven signs of terrorist activity," including the surveillance of a target before an attack and attempts by suspected terrorists to elicit information.
European equivalents of SCN receive alerts from European law enforcement agencies. |

|

Here's one good reason, that may already have been posted here, for testing their emergncy system (despite? Odigo):-
Shlomo Zand's "When and How Was the Jewish People Invented?"
| Quote: | Controversial Bestseller Shakes the Foundation of the Israeli State
By Joshua Holland
February 04, 2009 "AlterNet" -- - What if the Palestinian Arabs who have lived for decades under the heel of the modern Israeli state are in fact descended from the very same "children of Israel" described in the Old Testament?
And what if most modern Israelis aren't descended from the ancient Israelites at all, but are actually a mix of Europeans, North Africans and others who didn't "return" to the scrap of land we now call Israel and establish a new state following the attempt to exterminate them during World War II, but came in and forcefully displaced people whose ancestors had lived there for millennia?
What if the entire tale of the Jewish Diaspora -- the story recounted at Passover tables by Jews around the world every year detailing the ancient Jews' exile from Judea, the years spent wandering through the desert, their escape from the Pharaoh's clutches -- is all wrong?
That's the explosive thesis of When and How Was the Jewish People Invented?, a book by Tel Aviv University scholar Shlomo Zand (or Sand) that sent shockwaves across Israeli society when it was published last year. After 19 weeks on the Israeli best-seller list, the book is being translated into a dozen languages and will be published in the United States this year by Verso.
Its thesis has ramifications that go far beyond some antediluvian academic debate. Few modern conflicts are as attached to ancient history as that decades-long cycle of bloodletting between Israelis and Palestinians. Each group lays claim to the same scrap of land -- holy in all three of the world's major Abrahamic religions -- based on long-standing ties to that chunk of earth and national identities formed over long periods of time. There's probably no other place on Earth where the present is as intimately tied to the ancient.
Central to the ideology of Zionism is the tale -- familiar to all Jewish families -- of exile, oppression, redemption and return. Booted from their kingdom, the "Jewish people" -- sons and daughters of ancient Judea -- wandered the earth, rootless, where they faced cruel suppression from all corners -- from being forced to toil in slavery under the Egyptians, to the Spanish massacres of the 14th century and Russian pogroms of the 19th, through to the horrors of the Third Reich.
This view of history animates all Zionists, but none more so than the influential but reactionary minority -- in the United States as well as Israel -- who believe that God bestowed a "Greater Israel" -- one that encompasses the modern state as well as the Occupied Territories -- on the Jewish people, and who resist any effort to create a Palestinian state on biblical grounds.
Inventing a People?
Zand's central argument is that the Romans didn't expel whole nations from their territories. Zand estimates that perhaps 10,000 ancient Judeans were vanquished during the Roman wars, and the remaining inhabitants of ancient Judea remained, converting to Islam and assimilating with their conquerors when Arabs subjugated the area. They became the progenitors of today's Palestinian Arabs, many of whom now live as refugees who were exiled from their homeland during the 20th century. |

| Quote: | Israeli Army Ordered to Devise Iran War
Category: News and Politics
As Israeli talks of war on Iran gain momentum, Israel's military Chief of Staff says the army must prepare for a military aggression.
In a meeting with top US diplomats on Monday, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi said Israel could not live with a nuclear Iran and that an Israeli military strike was a "serious" option in retarding the country's progress.
Ashkenazi -- whose request to meet with President Barack Obama and his American counterpart Admiral Mike Mullen was turned down -- made the remarks in a meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her designated US envoy to the Persian Gulf, Dennis Ross.
The Israeli general and the American hosts discussed the Iranian issue shortly after reports revealed that the Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu plans a "major military confrontation" in the next few months.
Israel, believed by many to be the sole possessor of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East, says Iran and its nuclear program pose an "existential threat" to Tel Aviv.
Under the claim, Israeli officials in the military and the government regularly threaten to launch aerial strikes against Iranian nuclear
infrastructure.
Tehran is a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and, according to the UN nuclear watchdog, has not opted to violate the treaty.
Iran says the only objective of its program is to make use of the civilian applications of the nuclear technology. The US, Israel and their European allies - Britain, France and Germany --, accuse the country of having military intentions in its pursuit.
Ashkenazi added that any final decision on Iran would be made by the government. He, however, said that he had been tasked with drawing up contingency plans since a military operation was a 'concrete possibility'. |
Yes imagine this scenario
| Quote: | The Oil Domino?
"Oil will rise for the unexpected reason".
If this insanity of war against Iran is carried out, the West can kiss its economy (or what is left of it) good-by. Our markets are now in a difficult situation and they could tumble for any number of reasons or rise. I am seeing the probability of a 4000 (+/- 300) bottom and war.

How quaint ;-)
I think this maybe relevant here:-
http://www.infowars.com/house-passes-mandatory-national-service-bill/
| Quote: | The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate. |
You couldn't make it up if you tried; G.I.V.E - right! Himmler would have loved this.
