Adopting Towns Builds Relationships
BFP staff and Australian ambassador (center) visit computer lab donated by BFP
AUSTRALIAN AND ISRAELI FLAGS were flying in the breeze as joyful Hebrew music played and hundreds of school-age children clapped along. The elementary school in Beit Shemesh was humming with excitement as we walked in with the Australian ambassador to Israel. The town was rolling out the red carpet for his visit. At the same time, BFP volunteers from Australia were working at the school: cleaning, painting, creating playground decorations, and tutoring students in English. The ambassador heard of this activity and came to see the Australian–Israeli cooperative venture for himself.

Hamas retracted its apology over the weekend for causing Israeli casualties with its rocket fire during last January’s Gaza offensive. The apology had originally appeared in their response to the UN-sponsored Goldstone commission’s allegations of war crimes for targeting Israeli civilians. Hamas said these casualties had been the inadvertent by-product of attacks on Israeli military targets by their inaccurate weapons and regretted having harmed civilians. When this was reported, the Hamas government quickly issued a denial of regret.

How can you be sure that bacteria are not festering in your food? Dangerous pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and chemical contaminants are responsible for more than 76 million food-borne illnesses a year in the US, according to the Center for Disease Control. Bacteria, viruses, and toxins thrive on food that is undercooked, inadequately refrigerated or prepared in places where hygiene standards are lax. One Israeli company, however, hopes to make your food safe from the farm to your fork. Herzliya-based MS Tech has developed advanced smart sensor technology that can detect the presence of contaminants and related chemicals in just three seconds in the field.

A Kassam rocket exploded in an open area in the western Negev, near Sderot on Sunday [February 7]. There were no reports of injures or damage. The rocket fell after a Color Red alert was sounded in the surrounding areas. The last rocket attack from the Gaza Strip came Wednesday [February 3], when a Kassam rocket exploded near the border fence in an agricultural field belonging to one of the kibbutzim of Shaar Hanegev Regional Council. A day earlier, another rocket was fired, and this time landed in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. Following the attack, Israel Air Force jets struck a number of targets in the southern Gaza Strip.

Last week, Palestinian Media Watch [PMW] Director Itamar Marcus and analyst Nan Jacques Zilberdik presented PMW research and findings in the Italian parliament in Rome, following an invitation by Italian Member of Parliament Fiamma Nirenstein. PMW prepared two special reports for the members of Parliament. One report demonstrates the Palestinian Authority's misrepresentation of Jesus as a Muslim Palestinian. The second report documents Hamas's goal of subjugating the Christian world under Islam which "will begin in Rome" as well as the desired genocide of the Jews.

Israelis Seek Answers about Funding Anti-state Activities
The question of whether a left-wing organization has crossed lines by funding groups with anti-Israel agendas is echoing among lawmakers who are pushing for a formal inquiry. The issue became acute when the right-wing Im Tirtzu (“If you will it”) organization issued a report revealing that the overwhelming majority of sources condemning Israel that are quoted in the Goldstone report—the U.N. Human Rights Council’s investigation into last January’s Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip— are, in part, funded by the New Israel Fund (NIF).
