Controversy l Israel plans to build a military academy on Mount of Olives


The Mount of Olives adjacent to the walls of Jerusalem and revered by Christians, Jews and Muslims , is the scene of a new clash between Israelis and Palestinians by the Israeli decision to lift a military academy there who reject outright the Arab villagers. Large posters plastered on walls and fences in the Arabic and Hebrew announce plan approval to build an army training center, which provides military accommodate 400 students and more than a hundred officers and teachers, and give a deadline sixty days to make representations population against. "This is another step in Israel to gain control of the occupied Palestinian territory of East Jerusalem and, above all, control the land surrounding the Old City and the Holy Basin. The ultimate goal is that the eastern part of the city never become the capital of the Palestinian state, "said Ahmad Sub Laban Efe, the Israeli NGO Ir Amim. For Hagit Ofram, director of watching Israeli Settlements in the NGO Ajsav Shalom (Peace Now) the idea of building a military academy is not a problem, but "its location in one of the most sensitive and disputed areas of Jerusalem, is more that provocative " .

Mount Scopus to territory occupied in 1967

This is an eight-story building that will occupy four acres of land between the complex of the Lutheran World Federation (Augusta Victoria) and the Mormon University. Israel maintains that the site is part of Mount Scopus, where the Hebrew University is located and part of which is accepted internationally as Israeli territory since the creation of the State. Several NGOs and local people for their part argue that the complex will be built on Palestinian land occupied by Israel in 1967. "The area straddles between the Mount of Olives and Mount Scopus, more in the former than in the latter, but it's definitely out of the enclave (Israel) , "he explains with maps Betty Herschman, Director of International Relations of Ir Amim. However, the Jerusalem municipal spokesman Barak Cohen said the school will be on Israeli territory that was already in 1948 and stressed that Jerusalem "welcomes national institutions with open arms" and that "there is no more appropriate place for this academy that the capital of the Jewish state and the Jewish people eternal heart ".

No room to grow

Jatem Jweis, resident of the Mount of Olives and activist believes that "Israel starts building infrastructure, then tuck the settlers, expands settlements and strangles local populations, they run out of space to develop." Like many of his neighbors, believes the plan is "unacceptable" and sees "very severe" fact "put more Israeli soldiers in the occupied Palestinian territory and among Palestinian civilians." "It's very problematic military bases get right outside our garden," he says, and notes that "Jerusalem is special to all religious people. Jerusalem No one is unique  "This refers Ofran holiness when he asserts that one can not think of the Mount of Olives "in real estate terms." "It is important for the three monotheistic religions: Jewish cemetery has three thousand years, where the resurrection of the dead should begin when the messiah. For Islam, a thin bridge connecting the Temple Mount and the Mount at the end of days. And for Christians is a place connected with the life and death of Christ and where he spent his last days before his crucifixion, "he explains.

Violence in the sacred mountain

Ir Amim predicts that, if carried out the project, ll Evara much violence to the sacred mountain , whose slopes are in the Garden of Gethsemane, where, according to Christian tradition, Jesus withdrew to pray before being betrayed by Judas and arrested by the temple guards. The Defense Ministry spokesman Myriam Nahon said the decision to transfer military academies to Jerusalem aims to " relocate the military out of urban centers in the region of Gush Dan (Tel Aviv around), free land for the construction of thousands of homes and strengthen the areas of national priority." Nahon stressed that the project "will generate hundreds of jobs" and that "it is entirely within the city of Jerusalem, in an area planned for years for public buildings." He noted that "it is in the heart of the Palestinian population. "

A child dies in Pakistan attacked by their parents as a matter of 'honor'


A 14 year old girl died in the village of Saidpur Bela in northern Pakistan, after being attacked with acid by their parents because of suspicions that her daughter was having sex with another local girl, a police source said. A minor, identified by police as Anusha , was beaten and attacked with acid last Tuesday at his home, and died after being taken to hospital because of burns to the head and torso , said a local police, Javed Abbasi. "The next day some neighbors alerted security forces and proceeded to arrest the parents, who are still in police custody," said Abbasi, who declined to give more details as they continue investigations into the case. So-called "honor killings" are common in Pakistan, according to the Human Rights Commission of China, 943 women were killed last year in attacks of this typeThese crimes are committed when a family, usually in rural areas, believe that your honor has been sullied by the attitude of a woman, either because it rejects a marriage or because it relates to someone without family approval. Many of the attacks are carried out by throwing acid in the face of womenAnusha's case occurred in the jurisdiction Pakistani Kashmir, where acid crimes are not as common as in the provinces of Punjab (east) and Sindh (south), which bring together the majority of such crimes. According to an association of survivors of acid attacks mentioned a few weeks ago by the newspaper 'The News', in 2012 there have been more than 80 attacks of this nature even though the law was hardened by the end of last year. After the legislative change, the aggressors are exposed to a minimum sentence of 14 years which may extend to life imprisonment, although many cases remain unsolved and the perpetrators escape from justice.

U.S. creates 171,000 jobs but unemployment picks up one tenth to 7.9%


Barack Obama on Friday received bad news for the race for reelection . Official figures revealed that the unemployment rate rose in October tenth to 7.9%. A percentage that underscores the economic recovery anemia and contradicts the president's economic message, he inherited one tenth less unemployment in his inauguration in January 2009. But the numbers were not positive news for Mitt Romney , whose environment did vote for a rate of over 8% to let him use the figure in the final stretch of the campaign as a clear symptom that the economy does not end better. The U.S. economy created about 171,000 jobs in October. A figure higher than experts predicted but insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate on the eve of the election figure. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted that the U.S. would create between 114,000 and 125,000 jobs. One down from the 148,000 that were created in September according to the official report of the Administration. Experts attribute the contradiction between the rise of the unemployment rate and the creation of 171,000 jobs a fact that there are more Americans who want a job. Some because they are incorporated for the first time to the labor market and other re-search because the parentheses after the recession. The report published today shows that the economy created in August and September more than 84,000 jobs that were announced at the time. These figures are explained in the light of the improvement in consumer confidence, which have helped sustain the modest expansion in the United States despite the polarization in Washington and the worsening global economy. The stores hired more workers than any other month since April 2011 and the rise in house prices boosted improving employment in the construction sector. The economic problems in the euro zone and uncertainty over the election results led some sectors to cut their investments dwindled and just one tenth the rate of underemployed persons (14.6%), which adds to those working fewer hours than they would like , who are unemployed and those who have stopped looking.

Inheritance

The president inherited an unemployment rate of 7.8% and tried to reduce it to an ambitious fiscal stimulus plan . Some economists believe that his policies helped contain the damage from the recession.Others recall that unemployment remained above 8% for 43 months during his tenure: the longest period in the last half century. Since World War II, only Ronald Reagan was reelected with the unemployment rate above 6% . Then unemployment touched 7.2% and had decreased three points in 18 months. A time period in which Obama has just reduced unemployment by 1.1%. The president usually compare their policies with those of Franklin D. Roosevelt : the only president who was reelected with unemployment over 8% in the last 100 years. Roosevelt won the election of 1936 with a rate of 16.6% and 1940 with a percentage of 14.6%. But he had an ace in the hole that Obama has not: could boast of having reduced unemployment to economic policy. Something that could also mean Reagan, who inherited a rate of 7.5%. Unemployment is not always a good indicator as to who will prevail in the race for the White House. Richard Nixon was reelected despite an unemployment rate that had increased nearly two points over his first term.The percentage also increased in the first mandates of Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush did not prevent both a triumph in the race for reelection. Romney said Friday his reaction to the October unemployment figures with a statement that presents them as a reminder of the country's economic problems. "The unemployment rate is higher than when President Obama took office and there are still 23 million people struggling to find jobs," Romney said. "On Tuesday, Americans will choose between stagnation and prosperity. During four years, Obama has told us that things are getting better but we can do better. We can have real economic growth and create millions of good paying jobs."
