【エルサレム共同】イスラエル政府は２７日、占領地東エルサレムの南部ギロで約１１００戸のユダヤ人住宅を建設する計画を承認した。東エルサレムを将来の独立国家の首都と見なすパレスチナ側の反発は必至。「パレスチナ国家」の国連加盟申請をめぐる国連安保理で始まった協議にも影響を与えそうだ。
占領地での入植は国際法で違法とされる。パレスチナ自治政府のアッバス議長は、入植が続いている限りイスラエルとの和平交渉に応じない姿勢を示している。
アッバス氏は２３日、パレスチナの国家としての国連加盟を申請。和平交渉を支援する米国など４者はこれを受け、双方に早期の和平交渉再開を呼び掛けたが、今回の計画承認は要求を無視した形だ

THE JUDAISM OF ISRAEL TODAY:
Signing out of Judaism (RACHEL CANAR, 10/05/2011, Jerusalem Post)
It is now legal for Israeli Jews to sign out of the Jewish religion officially. Last week, an Israeli court ruled that Israeli author Yoram Kaniuk can change his official religious status in the government registry from "Jewish" to "no religion." He requested this change in order to have the same status as his grandson, whose mother is not Jewish, and therefore has fewer rights, including no legal way to be married in Israel. Kaniuk, a hero of the 1948 War of Independence and a major literary voice in the evolution of Hebrew culture, is widely admired in Israel. His rejection of the religion of the state is an indictment of a system that causes many Israelis to feel nothing but contempt for Judaism as they know it. [...]
The Judaism of Israel today has become an ultra-Orthodox hegemony that represents neither the views and values of the vast majority of Israelis, nor those of the global Jewish community. This official religion of the Jewish State does not recognize the existence of the multiple streams of Judaism to which the majority Jews around the world adhere, let alone the commonly accepted advances of the Enlightenment that promote basic human equality.
The Judaism of Israel today, which is supported legally and financially by the state, does not recognize women as equal to men in marriage, divorce, or most recently, even on public buses. The official religion of Israel today supports racism even between Jews, with clear preference given to Ashkenazim over Sephardim and above all over Ethiopians - a fact demonstrated by several state-supported religious schools. The Judaism of Israel today accepts no converts unless of course they are willing to convert ultra-Orthodox. Baruch Spinoza would be ostracized by the State of Israel even today.
It is time for Israelis and the global Jewish community to recognize that Jewish peoplehood is threatened not just externally from assimilation but internally from the all powerful ultra-Orthodox rabbinate and its vice-like grip over the Jewish homeland - the modern political representative of the Jewish people and, supposedly, their refuge.
