Michael Oren cannot hide his disrespect for Jewish Americans

Michael Oren's fascinating and provocative memoir includes an anecdote that will make readers wince. Oren is an American, born in New York, who immigrated to Israel in his late 20s and raised three children there. He recently asked his son Noam, now an officer in the Israeli army, "Who do you feel you have more in common with, your Bedouin sergeant Mahmud, or your cousin Josh in Long Island?" Noam answers: "'Are you serious?' he shrugged. 'Mahmud slept in the dirt with me. Mahmud fought for this country.'"
The Oren family's American relatives will not be happy at this insensitive story. But it perfectly illustrates a central paradox in Oren's book (entitled Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide). He was appointed ambassador to the U.S. partly to try and slow the Jewish American drift away from Israel. But there's a big impediment to this goal: Oren truly does not respect Jewish Americans, and his feelings bubble constantly just under the surface of his narrative. Right after he relates the anecdote about his son, he adds:
"Many Israelis — the world's only Jews without a compound identity — looked down on an American Jewry that preferred comfort to sovereignty."
Oren shares this view, even if he tries to hide it.
His enemies list of Jewish Americans is long. Early reports focused on his attack on certain Jewish journalists, including Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, for criticizing Israel at all, and his speculation as to "whether Americans Jews really felt as secure as they claimed," and therefore "perhaps persistent fears of anti-Semitism impelled them to distance themselves from Israel and its often controversial policies."
There is more. Oren has a pathological dislike for J Street, the moderate pro-Israel lobbying group that was started as an alternative to AIPAC. (Nowhere in 377 pages does he even mention Jewish Voice for Peace.) At first, Oren grudgingly "engages" in a "dialogue" with J Street, even though "I had no illusions about the group, which received funds from anti-Israel contributors, supported every legislator critical of Israel, and stridently attacked mainstream American Jewish leaders."
Then Judge Richard Goldstone issued his report criticizing Israeli human rights violations during the 2008-09 attack on Gaza: ". . . outrageously, J Street members hosted Goldstone in Congress and began lobbying against sanctions on Iran," Oren writes. His "dialogue" with the organization ended. So much for diplomatically listening to other viewpoints. (Oren was merciless toward Goldstone, even after the judge partly recanted in a Washington Post op-ed piece a year later. Oren writes that a certain rabbi "asked me to meet Goldstone and accept his penitence but, rather coldly, I refused.")
The Oren Jewish enemies list also included a number of Obama administration officials. He doesn't like Martin Indyk, who seems to most observers an ordinary, inoffensive "peace processor," certainly no threat to Israel. He is especially nasty about Steven Simon, describing him as "a former Orthodox Jew turned dapper apostate in pinstripes and suspenders." The only U.S. official he thoroughly approves of is Dennis Ross, which should tell us something.
One Jewish American he does have sympathy for is Jonathan Pollard, who was sentenced in 1987 to life in prison for spying for Israel. Oren lobbies high officials for Pollard's release. "One senior member of the National Security Council told me over breakfast, 'As an American Jew, I believe Jonathan Pollard should get out of prison. . .' He paused to take a bite of his bacon. 'In a coffin.'"
As the bacon-detail shows, Oren tries to hold himself in check, but his real views about Jewish Americans continually break the surface. He says: "In America, the problem is a scarcity of Jewish identity, while in Israel, the problem is a superabundance. I, for one, would rather deal with a superabundance." He complains that "only a third of American Jews ever visited Israel and many of those would cancel their trips at the first whiff of crisis."
Michael Oren provides plenty of raw material in his book for someone to develop a comprehensive explanation for his anti-Jewish American feelings. For now, the anecdote about his son suggests at least part of the reason. Oren writes about his own military training in Israel as a paratrooper, and he brings it up more often than you might expect in what is supposed to be a diplomat's account. He would deny it, but on some level he thinks Jewish Americans just aren't tough enough.
amigo on July 6, 2015, 12:45 pm
If Oren hates his fellow tribal members so vociferously, what must he think of "Arabs" and non Jews.
I shudder to think.Suffice it to say , he must have had all the right answers for Nietanyahu to be appointed Ambassador in the first instance , even though that did not work out for him.
I look forward to a plethora of books taking him on.The upside of that will be his very busy schedule for the next few years attempting to justify his spiel.It will also keep quite a few so called Lib zios occupied and less able to write pro Israel screeds under the guise of being peace nicks.
These people deserve each other.

@Amigo
I hate to think of him as a neighbor, but why doesn't he leave the US, give up his citizenship and live in Israel permanently (gag…). I'm positive he won't be missed in the country that afforded him and his a good life, wait a minute, he said there was a scarcity of Jewish identity in the US. That must have been quite traumatizing for him. Apparently the US is uncomfortably gentile. He has to continue to live there and monitor it I guess, bitch about it, start conspiracy theories that American Jews aren't hopped up on zionism as he is due to the invisible but nonetheless present antisemitism that has American Jews scared shitless. Right.
amigo on July 6, 2015, 3:38 pm
I am not sure if he moved permanently to Israel but I think he is a member of the Knesset.He had to renounce his American citizenship to take that position.Wonders will never cease.I bet that,s the next law the 5th column will be addressing.
In any case , he is a traitor.Sure would not want to have him living on the street where I live.

"Who do you feel you have more in common with, your Bedouin sergeant Mahmud, or your cousin Josh in Long Island?" Noam answers: "'Are you serious?' he shrugged. 'Mahmud slept in the dirt with me. Mahmud fought for this country.'"
Yet Josh is supposed to be 100% devoted not only to his cousin Noam and his uncle Michael, but to Benjamin Netanyahu! And if he fails, he's just another "classical anti-Semite" or screwed up self-hater/self-promoter.
"Many Israelis — the world's only Jews without a compound identity"
So how do you describe the difference between Noam and Mahmud (which is the whole point of the previous anecdote)? Noam is just an Israeli and Mahmud is what? Michael just calls him a "Bedouin". But Mahmud slept in the dirt with Noam and fought for Noam's unhyphenated identity!
evets on July 6, 2015, 2:21 pm
It's interesting he would even ask his son the question, since his son presumably had infrequent contact with his cousin and clearly had much contact with Mahmud under circumstances which would naturally foster closeness. If Oren believes that tribe should trump all, the response should have been disappointing, though I expect it made him kind of proud. Of course, it's possible Mahmud is somehow part of the tribe, in which case it's all just confusing.
At any rate I feel for young Josh, though I guess he's taking this potshot on behalf of all American Jews who don't know what it's like to sleep in the dirt like real men.
It's interesting he would even ask his son the question
Although I've heard similar (hypocritical) sentiments from Jewish-Israeli soldiers, I'm guessing he didn't. It's a little too rhetorical, and it has already been established that Oren's accounts of his conversations in this book are somewhat less than truthful.
In recounting this "conversation", Oren pushes a few too many hasbara buttons (negation of the diaspora [a few sub-buttons there as well], the glories of IDF service, equality and even brotherhood between the un-compounded and non-Jewish citizens of Israel — if they would only be loyal and do their duty, etc.).
Mooser on July 9, 2015, 5:43 pm
Cousin "Josh" shouldn't be too hard to find. Somebody should, and ask him about it.
Stephen Shenfield on July 6, 2015, 3:58 pm
It's quite likely that neither Josh nor Mahmud exist and Oren invented them to make his point, which I think is this. Josh is a fellow Jew and therefore SHOULD (by Zionist lights) be much closer to Noam than Mahmud is, but in fact he is not — wholly on account of Josh' weakness and perfidy, of course.
Mahmud is a Bedouin, or he could be a Druze — two groups traditionally half-accepted (being not too numerous) as loyal appendages of the Zionist state and contrasted with the ordinary "Arabs" (the Israelis don't like to utter the word "Palestinian") who are the enemy.
James North on July 6, 2015, 6:12 pm
Of course "Mahmud" — at least as Oren portrays him — is the Gunga Din loyal native, long a beloved figure in Orientalism.
Shmuel on July 7, 2015, 2:41 am
You're a better man than cousin Josh is, Gunga Din!
bryan on July 7, 2015, 4:00 am
I wonder if Oren asked Mahmud how he felt about israeli attempts to drive his people from the Negev and the Jordan Valley. Sleeping in the dirt is a useful accomplishment, especially if your home is likely to be destroyed for want of planning permission.
Mooser on July 7, 2015, 11:18 am
I knew there had to be a "better man" line in there, but would Shmuel show a little deference to an ancient, decrepit and slow brain? Nope, he rushes right on past.
ckg on July 6, 2015, 2:02 pm
Oren: "One senior member of the National Security Council told me over breakfast.."
I suspect former Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken knows exactly whom Oren is referring to. From Wikipedia: Blinken, who is Jewish,[1] married Evan Ryan in a bi-denominational ceremony officiated by a rabbi and priest at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington, D.C.[10]

"Israelis — the world's only Jews without a compound identity "
oh gag me with a f'ing spoon. he's gross.
But I thought "Israeli's do< have a compound identity!! See, they think of themselves as "Israelis" but the Government of Israel registers them as "Jews". Isn't that a compound identity?
Hostage on July 6, 2015, 4:21 pm
See, they think of themselves as "Israelis" but the Government of Israel registers them as "Jews". Isn't that a compound identity?
I know, then there's this "Hebrew" identity from Plan Dalet:
(a) The objective of this plan is to gain control of the areas of the Hebrew state and defend its borders.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/Plan_Dalet.html
So they must have had a map somewhere that showed their armed militias the location of these "defensible borders" they keep shreying about, but they've never been willing to share it with anyone.
Don't you see Hostage, the way it works? It's so clever! If Israel is ever taxed with, asked for an accounting for the actions of settlers, they can say: "Hey, it wasn't us Israelis did that, it was a bunch of Jews!"
Sibiriak on July 6, 2015, 11:37 pm
Mooser: But I thought "Israeli's do< have a compound identity!! See, they think of themselves as "Israelis" but the Government of Israel registers them as "Jews". Isn't that a compound identity?
Great point! Oren's assertion is pure nonsense. All Israelis have official compound identities–Israeli citizenship + "nationality".
RoHa on July 6, 2015, 9:09 pm
I have enough trouble working out what simple identities are. Now I'm faced with compound identities!
Is there a formula for it, with principal, compounding period, and so forth?
See "RoHa", that's the problem with rushing in and making the joke I would have made. You have to make some pretty lousy jokes. Ones even I wouldn't make, unless you didn't, of course! I ask you, is it worth it?
RoHa on July 7, 2015, 10:02 pm
Then I'm sunk. You will always get there 'fustest with the mustiest' like I used to. Maybe I'll join the "Jape of the Month Club", so I'll have a constant supply of fresh puns, juicy mots, big double-entendres and real crisp Pippins, in season.
Steve Grover on July 6, 2015, 2:35 pm
As Gomer Pyle sez, "Surprise! Surprise!" he doesn't mention Jewish Voice for Peace! Why would Oren give a group like JVP that hates Israel the time of day?
As far as Pollard is concerned he as served 3X as long as anyone convicted of a similar crime.
Oren quite often praises Obama in the book. Netanyahu and the President did get along well when they met. Oren did a good job as a diplomat in his effort to maintain personal relationships with those on both sides of the aisle. He reached out to all religions as well and held an Iftar at the embassy.
The ultra left hate Oren because he did his job as a diplomat and represented his government and the ultra right hate Oren for exactly the same reason.
I was amused by the remarks made by John McCain at the retirement party for Joe Lieberman.
"As Gomer Pyle sez, "Surprise! Surprise!" he doesn't mention Jewish Voice for Peace! Why would Oren give a group like JVP that hates Israel the time of day?" SG
I dunno , maybe for the same reason adelson gives "BDS" the time of day.Lots of days.I believe Jewish Voice for Peace supports BDS.
http://forward.com/news/309227/sheldon-adelson-to-host-secret-anti-bds-summit-for-jewish-donors/
Ignore them at your peril .
Oren very indirectly mentions JVP. He mentions Rabbi Capers Funnye who is Facebook friends with Rabbi Brant Rosen. Rabbi Capers Funnye is pro Israel and a friend of Michael Oren's and a cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Then this.
"Oren very indirectly mentions JVP." SG
did you have a point to make??.
@amigo,
I'm just amplifying the significance of JVP for your benefit.

Are you saying the words Jewish and peace are an oxymoron.
Hmmmm, very revealing.
Who needs "peace"? When I listen to Grober and Hophmi and Yonah and "Jon s" expound, I begin to wonder if "Jewish" is an oxymoron!
Amigo tries to put words in my mouth by saying "Are you saying the words Jewish and peace are an oxymoron."
JVP has nothing to do with peace. A more accurate name for JVP is "Jews Who Think Israel Should Surrender to Terrorism and Die".
Mooser on July 6, 2015, 11:25 pm
"A more accurate name for JVP is "Jews Who Think Israel Should Surrender to Terrorism and Die"."
Psst, Stevie! Listen just between you and me, don't say stuff like that, please? Please don't let the Gentiles know that the Jewish people is full of renegades and traitors! Jews who want other Jews to die, so Arabs can take over! Stevie, other religions don't have problems like this, cases of mass self-hatred and a desire to kill their own tribe! It's not something we want to advertise, m'okay?

Care to substantiate your claims … thx …. I'll wait
Steve Grover on July 7, 2015, 12:41 pm
Mooser or is it Dybbuk?
The history of Christianity and Islam is chock full of renegades and traitors who want to kill their coreligionists. With respect to the case of the Jewish people you are referring to, they are not renegades. They are morons who think they are renegades.
Talknic, I have heard some Christians have difficulty with the doctrine of transubstantiation. Zionists simplify the theology and just forgo substantiation at all. You just gotta take it on faith.
"The history of Christianity and Islam is chock full of renegades and traitors who want to kill their coreligionists."
Uh, "Stevie", I know, of course, that you mean well, but would you be terribly disappointed if I told you it doesn't make me feel any better about Judaism being plagued with traitors and kapos and needing a good stiff Inquisition to weed them out?
Or are you trying to say that this gives you the right to kill your correligionists if they don't agree with you? Don't quite get it. At any rate, it's hardly comforting, but thanks for trying.
Brewer on July 9, 2015, 8:03 pm
Rabbi Capers Funnye. There's a guy with a compound identity.
Yes, as I remember, the Rosenbergs didn't serve a whole lot of time, did they? But the time served.
lysias on July 8, 2015, 6:42 pm
3X? John Walker, the Navy spy, was arrested on May 20,. 1985, was sentenced to life in jail, and stayed in jail until he died on August 28, 2014. That's nearly 30 years.
Pollard has yet to serve even as long as that in jail. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1987.
David Doppler on July 6, 2015, 2:38 pm
"Israelis – the world's only Jews without a compound identity."
The chief advantage of the technological age we live in – with instant communications and rapid transportation – is that one can be a member of many different societies or groups: one's immediate neighborhood, block, dorm or apartment floor, or gated community, classes and teams, one's co-workers, one's professional societies, one's fraternal organizations, one's alumni associations, one's religious groups, one's political group, blogs where one posts, one's online gaming community, social media groups, etc., etc.
The difference Oren suggests as an advantage for Israeli Jews is actually a ticket back 2,000 years and more when such tribal sharing was the natural though primitive state. Freeing oneself from "compound identity," as he sees it, is a process of denial of the importance of anyone else, other than Chief-Rabbi certified Jews. It is a starvation of life, rather than an enhancement of life he is promoting. Balance among the different groups one belongs to requires careful management, and one can be stretched too thinly, but preaching oneness as a virtue seems both narrow-minded and anachronistic.
Fanatical, even.
"He paused to take a bite of his bacon"
Yup, as an American Jew, that tells me everything I need to know about the guy. Discussing Pollard over breakfast, and I bet it wasn't kosher bacon.
There's some sort of chemical reaction that takes place only if you've got a "compounded identity" and have "preferred comfort to sovereignty". The "uncompounded" can eat as much bacon as they like, and it doesn't seem to affect them.
"One senior member of the National Security Council told me over breakfast, 'As an American Jew, I believe Jonathan Pollard should get out of prison. . .' He paused to take a bite of his bacon. 'In a coffin.'"
Oren was pointing out how stupid a person sounds when the nitrates are talking.
John O on July 6, 2015, 3:33 pm
@sg "Oren was pointing out how stupid a person sounds when the nitrates are talking."
Wow, that's subtle. Oren is surely the James Joyce de nos jours.
Maybe, "Grober", but speaking of kosher bacon, I know one thing. Ain't nobody gonna cure you.
"Grober:" Don't you realize that Oren is attacking you— for not moving to Israel and serving in its army?
But what happens if "Grober" runs off and joins the IDF and his parents buy another car? Everybody should have someplace to come home to!
@James North,
I don't have a problem with being criticized by someone who served in the U.S. Armed Forces or the IDF for not serving. It is legitimate criticism.
@mooser,
Thanks for your concern about my family. My father z"l and my mother z"l have passed away. I have 2 children in college and a third child who will be a senior in high school. Our home will always be open to them.
"I have 2 children in college and a third child who will be a senior in high school."
And no doubt, vociferous anti-BDSers, and pro-Israel fighters, every one! And your house will always be open to them, cause there's nothing we can do about it, I mean, if kids do become anti-Zionist, there's nothing you can do, except accept it. It's unfair in a way, not having any real power over what might happen, but that's the way it is. Just gotta lay back and take it..
Geez Mooser, you should change your name to Dybbuk since you know my kids' views without anyone telling you.
"since you know my kids' views without anyone telling you."
Well, it was inevitable. And not a thing you can do about it.
I can't believe it! Bacon! When everybody knows we eat broiled kippahs for breakfast!

What is the difference between saying that American Jews have "compound identities" and saying that they have "dual loyalties"? Apparently, the first phrase is permissible when it comes from an Israeli who's renounced his American citizenship. Meanwhile, the second phrase implies anti-Semitism on the part of the user, whether the user is Jewish or not. And yet they mean just about the same thing. They refer to the predicament of a person torn between two loyalties, but refer to different versions of the same division–one a permissible topic of discussion, the other a taboo.
catalan on July 6, 2015, 4:33 pm
"but refer to different versions of the same division–one a permissible topic of discussion, the other a taboo. – " irfan
I believe that the topic is taboo but not for the reason you imply. There may be as many fifty to a hundred million Americans with dual citizenship, with the vast majority of them Mexican (nobody knows how many but there are estimates). Opening up this particular topic may result is some shocking discoveries about this country and that's why this is all best kept under the rug, with everyone pretending they don't know. Better than having a Bosnia or Sudan, I think.
The issue of Jewish "dual loyalty" in that context is of very little importance. Well unless you think that Mexico and the Unites States have identical interests.
Hello, Donald!
You had us all fooled for the longest time that you were from Catalunya (and several other places).
Donald on July 6, 2015, 8:47 pm
"Hello Donald"
I'm confused. For multiple reasons.
"Well unless you think that Mexico and the Unites States have identical interests."
Oh look, a regular Arizona all-rightnik he's become already.
Don't worry, "catalan" we know all about Mexico's subversive plan to flood the country with people who will foist a different heat scale on us, and make a real mild salsa a thing of the past. Even "extra mild" will burn, if they get their way!
John O on July 7, 2015, 3:08 am
Sorry; should have said "Mr Trump".
That's what I keep on telling them; "catalan" wants everybody to know he is a regular American all-rightnik!
catalan on July 7, 2015, 11:53 am
"That's what I keep on telling them; "catalan" wants everybody to know he is a regular American all-rightnik" Mooser
Why don't we tone down on the hysteria. I voted for Obama the last election. I speak decent Spanish and live in a place where the vast majority of people are Hispanic. My town is 90 percent Hispanic according to the last census. Since I was illegal once myself, it would be the height of hypocrisy for me to speak negatively on that issue. Also, unlike you, I have tasted life in poor countries, whereas you love the poor from afar – an old American liberal habit.
That said, the issue of dual loyalty, dual citizenship is a very common thread on this forum, and always with Jews under the microscope. It's just not objective, considering that up to 100 million people have dual citizenship. I am not making a judgement as to the morality of this situation, just observing it. As usual, you engage in schoolyard labeling tactics. Peter Pan syndrome?
"Why don't we…."
"Catty" pal, if it's from you and it's over a paragraph, I scroll right on past. Try to keep that in mind when you answer. TLTSDR
My question, in case you missed it, was, what is the DIFFERENCE between having a compound identity and having dual loyalties? I am not making either accusation. Michael Oren is making the first, and I am wondering how it differs from making the second. My answer is: it does not differ. Anyone sensitive about hearing the second mentioned should be equally sensitive about hearing the first mentioned. But this happens not to be the case, as your comment illustrates.
I don't yet have, but am a candidate for, dual citizenship (US/Pakistan), and intend to apply for it when I get a chance. Many of the Americanized members of my family have dual citizenship. It is a perfectly legitimate question whether we favor Pakistan's interests over the US or vice versa in case of conflict. It is patently obvious that people differ on that issue. Some hyphenated Pakistanis favor Pakistan over the US; others do the reverse. It shouldn't be traumatic to allow this bit of reality to make an appearance in debates about Pakistan. I face this question without fail every time I go to Pakistan. A responsible adult should have an answer to such questions rather than a series of whining non-responses and maudlin attempts to play the race card over a subject that has nothing to do with race.
Incidentally, the discussion on this subject (dual loyalties/dual nationality) in Pakistan is a great deal more candid than the American discussion about Israel (which is saying something). Questions have been raised about the dual loyalties of a long list of prominent Pakistanis with dual national status (US, UK, and Canadian)–Hussain Haqqani, Shaukat Aziz, Tahirul Qadri, Faranaz Isphahani, Rehman Malik, and Moeen Qureishi among them. (Google any of those names and "dual national" or "dual loyalty".) The same issues arise re Mexican-Americans or anyone else. They arise particularly acutely with Cuban-Americans, as a trip to Miami or Union City NJ will confirm.
If the issue of dual loyalty is of such little importance to the present context, why did Michael Oren bring up compound identities and regard it as an accusation?
Both phrases–"compound identity" and "dual loyalty"–refer to the state of being torn in one's allegiances between countries. To repeat the question I asked (and which you've ignored): why is one way of referring to the phenomenon a permissible accusation, and the other a taboo?
echinococcus on July 6, 2015, 4:48 pm
Irfan,
The term "dual loyalty" is nonsense, even though used all over the place. What counts in the "loyalty" is where it goes in the case of a conflict between the two countries.
When it comes to the Zionist entity, there is no doubt that the full loyalty of such a subject will be to the tribal state, being acquired late in life, consciously and out of attachment to Zionism. It is totally different than other cases of double citizenship, where the non-US one is generally not acquired by choice but by inheritance mostly, the US citizenship being most generally the voluntarily acquired, desired one.
Echinococcus,
I don't agree with your comment. The issue of dual loyalties is a complex one, which is why it should be discussed openly rather than treated as some taboo subject to be shoved under the table. I think you're oversimplifying somewhat.
The issue of dual loyalties arises with respect to any hyphenated identity and any pair of countries that allow for dual citizenship or nationality. Unless the perceived interests of two countries are identical, they can conflict. If they can conflict, then people can be conflicted over them. But the conflicts are a matter of degree, and go in lots of directions. Some people are more loyal to the country that's far away. Some are more loyal to the country they've living in. There are a million variations in between those poles.
There is a familiar literature on hyphenated identities ("compound identities"), and in that context, everybody admits that people can be divided. For some bizarre reason, when conversation turns to divided political loyalties, bring it up and everyone thinks you're making an accusation of treason. Not so. It's just an obvious fact that if people can be torn between two ethnic identities, they can be torn between two political ones. A culture unable to handle this fact is in denial.
All of the preceding applies to American Jews and Israel, just as it applies everywhere else. I think it's an exaggeration to say that the "full loyalty" of a Zionist is to Israel. It just depends on the person. Sometimes it is, sometime is isn't. People are weird and complicated.
As I said to Catalan, I don't think Israeli dual citizenship is all that different from other kinds. In fact, that's my whole point: it's no different, but it's treated as though it is. There are many reasons why people get dual nationality in non-US countries, among them more favorable visa options, the right to own real estate, and in some cases the right to vote, etc. In the Pakistani case, you also get reduced fees at tourist attractions (by a factor of 10), for whatever that's worth.
Incidentally, to respond to jon s below: as a matter of simple logic, if everyone has a compound identity, then no one has 100% of any identity. That's what the phrase "compound identity" means.
"if everyone has a compound identity, then no one has 100% of any identity."
Of course not, if a person moves to Palestine, and is involved in an illegal and risky settlement operation for Zionism, they still don't want to go in 100%, they need a bolthole, so you hang on to your US passport.
Isn't it great? Bunches of, uh, 'people' completely unafraid to push Israel into disaster cause they can leave if the gamble doesn't pay off. They've got a real dual-loyalty problem over there.
echinococcus on July 9, 2015, 11:28 am
You make a lot of sense with regard to multiple citizenship and multiple nationality (in the traditional or Soviet-Ottoman sense of nationality); I cumulate several of both myself.
What I was discussing was the term of "dual loyalty". Totally different. Even though, as you say in daily life "the conflicts are a matter of degree, and go in lots of directions" and millions of shades are possible, with regard to each single decision that requires action it becomes a yes/no question.
So we can guess the probable balance of loyalty as a statistical inference from the specific citizenships discussed. That immediately makes Israeli second citizenship unlike any others. Anyone born anywhere else does not usually request or accept this one as heritage citizenship, ease of travel or keeping family possessions in the old country etc., because there is precious little of that kind of situation. It is a citizenship that, always speaking statistically, very probably betokens an attachment to the political ideology of Zionism, or at the very least very strong tribal/racial attachment. The balance of loyalty of such a person, whenever a conflict of interest is perceived, is obvious. Worse still, the awareness of any conflict of interest in the mind of such a person will be irremediably sick.

And yet Mahmud's people are being expelled from their lands to make way for a nice Jewish town that only Noam will be able to live in. It seems that military comaraderie only goes so far.
diasp0ra on July 7, 2015, 4:42 am
And Josh who apparently has nothing to do with the land can settle anywhere whilst Mahmuds people can't tie a shoelace without discrimination and humiliation.
Oren also repeatedly mentions Netanyahu's military record in his book. (He writes about Netanyahu in the most sycophantic way.)
Oren in that uniform looks like Dukakis in the tank.
The Hasbara Buster on July 6, 2015, 9:16 pm
Oren is a fortunate man. He asks his son a question and the boy gives him exactly the answer he needs to prove a point.

1. Mr. Oren is mistaken – Jewish Israelis, too, have a compound identity: Jewish and Israeli.
2. Many (most?) Israelis are hateful and immoral Zio-supremacists who advocate, justify, support and excuse Jewish supremacism in/and a supremacist "Jewish State" and all related past and on-going (war) crimes.

To say nothing of their many passports.

Everyone has a "compound identity": your citizenship, your ethnic group, your religion, your political affiliation, your profession, your sexual orientation…and more. Nobody is one-dimensional.
On the other hand the "dual loyalties" accusation is raised to imply that Jewish -Americans are not 100% Americans.
"On the other hand the "dual loyalties" accusation is raised to imply that Jewish -Americans are not 100% Americans"
"Jon s" didn't you just say we have "Jewish DNA" and with things "etched" on it??.
How can we possibly be 100% American when we don't have 100% American DNA? And what about our religion. How can we be loyal to America 100% when we are required by our religion to always keep the Zionist project, the highest expression of and only hope for Judaism, in the forefront of our loyalties?

|| jon s: On the other hand the "dual loyalties" accusation is raised to imply that Jewish -Americans are not 100% Americans. ||
It would help if Zio-supremacists were to stop insisting that Israel is the only true homeland of Jewish-Americans and that loyalty to the "Jewish State" is an essential part of being Jewish.
"Everyone has a "compound identity"
:Jewish DNA (on which is etched "Balebatim") and a US passport! Now there's the winning combo for a Palestine filibusterer and international squatter and freebooter!
No such animal. There are American Jews, of course, like any other religion. "Jewish" is not an ethnicity.
Also, it is entirely legitimate to speculate that any Jew not born in Palestine who carries a Zionist entity citizenship may effectively not be 100% American, as the grounds for requesting that second citizenship are overwhelmingly ideological.
In the case of people like Jon S, assuming that he is a human, living in and working for the Zionist entity and that he is US-born, I would welcome a clear procedure for canceling his US citizenship. All Americans who wear the Zionist uniform must forfeit it, too.

"In the case of people like Jon S, assuming that he is a human, living in and working for the Zionist entity and that he is US-born,"
Yes, that's exactly what I mean, all those people who are pushing Israel further and further into intransigence have dual-passports, so they always have an 'out'- a flight back to another country.
I think Israel has a dual loyalty problem. A bad one. Israel might be different if people knew, in no uncertain terms, that they couldn't just leave if it doesn't satisfy their particular Zionist fantasy of Greater Israel, or whatever. Or if they make the place "too hot to hold them", they can leave and avoid consequences.

On a related note, From Haaretz:
Religious Services Minister David Azoulay (Shas) angered Reform Jews on Tuesday morning, by saying that they cannot be considered Jewish.
Speaking to Army Radio, the minister said, "Let's just say there's a problem as soon as a Reform Jew stops following the religion of Israel. I can't allow myself to say that such a person is a Jew."
He continued: "These are Jews that erred along the way, and we must ensure that every Jew comes back into the fold of Judaism, and accept everyone happily and with love."
The National Jewish Population Survey of 1990 showed 38% of U.S. Jews are affiliated with the Reform tradition.
Oh crap, now I have an ugly bruise on my cheek, where I hit the floor when I syncoped after that. Oh, my poor, tattered, Tribal Unity.
Well, I guess there's only one thing to do. Tribal Unity must be preserved, so I guess all Reform and secular and Conservative Jews (wait, they've got a deal with the Orthodox, don't they, stemming from the Trefa Banquet? Not their fault. You think I'm kidding?) will become Orthodox by next Shabbos.
Jeez, I never thought that would happen, but what choice do we have?
I implore all of my fellow and fellowette Jewish people to remember: "If we don't hang out together, we will hang out separately, and who wants to stay home on a Saturday night?"
I sympathize, Mooser. Many evangelicals don't consider Presbyterians, UCC congregants, and Quakers to be "real" Christians.
Many evangelicals don't consider Presbyterians, UCC congregants, and Quakers to be "real" Christians.
They don't consider Catholics or Orthodox real Christians either.
I wonder what they think of the Church Fathers.

The U.S. right-wing fundamentalist web site Breaking Israel News seems almost giddy that the reconstituted, self-appointed Sanhedrin in Israel intends to put Pope Francis "on trial." And similarly right-wing and end-times oriented World Net Daily seems similarly gleeful.
"self-appointed Sanhedrin in Israel intends to put Pope Francis "on trial."
Wait til they send out for a couple of 4x4s and some 60Ds, and you'll know His Holiness has been convicted??
Well, what are those Catholic and Orthodox waiting for? Have they no idea of the value of Christian Unity? Besides, I thought they opposed having sects under most circumstances.
Has it come to this? You are recycling my jokes?
RoHa, although there is a vast amount of humor, it is ultimately a finite amount. If we don't conserve, re-use, and recycle, we'll run out.

In the disdaining American Jewry sweepstakes, Mondoweiss is way ahead of Michael Oren.
What on earth are you talking about Hophmi? Mondoweiss just covered, and promptly, the opening of a new Jewish denomination!
But I know, Hophmi, when it comes to the American "Jewry" anything but manipulative flattery, a sales job, or self-pity based discourse, is "disdain". American Jews will go all to pieces if they're talked to like adults!
Oh, BTW, what's the prize? In the "disdaining American Jewry sweepstakes", I mean. Should I buy a ticket?

Hey lovies!. It's Nifemi, and today's post is about all different kinds of men, although there is one I'm really rooting for. Read on to find out!
The man that calls you beautiful— makes you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, is very hilarious, even handsome except he has no values; doesn't respect what you want, not to talk of what you need.
There is the one that takes care of you— feeds you, buys you goodies but never takes you home to mama.
There is another one that is all determined to rock your world, but is so dumb* (permit me to use the word). Doesn't have a sense of direction for himself, not to talk of you.
Also, there is the rich, handsome and romantic guy, but arrogant and highly irresponsible.
But there is this type of man too: He is an introvert, but would go out of his way to create a world of fun for you; he would literally do anything for you. He listens to you with empathy, respects you, spends his days trying to take care of you and make you happy. He also knows God— he is God fearing, and added to this, he just doesn't want to take you home to mama, he alsowants to show you off to the world. Now, that kind of man is what I call—a good man!
Beyond all the lovies, riches, beauty, fun and sweetness a man could have; my kind of truth would be for you to settle for 'a good man' if you don't already have one.
For a good manwill give you: rest, peace, growth, love and a sense of self-worth amongst other things. Remember the saying: who you marry is the most important decision of your life. Marrying a good man is sure one part of making that gooddecision.
Yes, have fun all you like, meet the sassy ones, the happy ones, the fun ones, the handsome ones, but when it's time to settle down, remember Nifemi says: MARRY THE GOOD MAN.
If you feel you haven't gotten a good man in your hands, pray to God to help you with one, and hit me up in a mail for tips on how to get a good one (or maybe I will share some tips soon).
To your fun, sweet, romantic life: I wish you success.
Till next time, be a sharp gurl!
What Love is not: A Man Beating You!

DeloPorts is a Russian stevedoring holding that consolidates the assets of Delo Group at the Novorossiysk Sea Port, comprising NUTEP container terminal, KSK grain terminal and Delo service company and towing operator. The primary beneficiary of DeloPorts is Russian businessman Sergey Shishkarev.

History
The company was registered in 2012 in the city of Limassol in Cyprus as a holding, consolidating assets of Delo Group at the Novorossiysk Sea Port. Initially, Sergey Shishkarev (owner of the Delo Group) had 90% of shares, while 10% belonged to his nephew Timofey Telyatnik, who also was one of the company's presidents. In 2015 the partnership dissolved due to the dissent in business strategies. Shishkarev purchased Telyatnik's share in June 2015 and became the sole owner of DeloPorts, transferring the group to Russian jurisdiction shortly afterwards.
At first DeloPorts holding comprised KSK grain terminal, NUTEP container terminal, TOS bunkering company (later renamed into "Delo Service Company") and NNK oil transshipment complex. In late 2013 100% of NNK were sold to Gazpromneft. Later in the same year, DeloPorts sold 25% share of KSK grain terminal to the Cargill food trader.

Structure
 KSK grain terminal is a third major Russian terminal in Black Sea Basin specializing in transferring grain cargoes. It started operating in 2006. As of the beginning of 2020, the total terminal area is 12,4 hectares, KSK handles transloading on 6 docks, 4 of which are company-owned and 2 are under long-term rent. Terminal's technical capabilities allow it to receive vessels like Supramax and Panamax (deadweight up to 55,000 tons). The KSK grain terminal has a direct access to state highway M4 "Don"state highway M4 "Don". As a result of modernisation, the terminal's capacity is expected to grow up to 220,000 tons, throughput capacity will increase up to 6,5 million tons. In 2018-2019 the construction of additional silos (102,000 tons in volume) was completed, as well as additional line of grain receivers from trains and trucks. Their own certified laboratory for grain quality control was expanded. Upon the completion of the dock №40a construction, the terminal will be able to receive type Post Panamax vessels (deadweight 100,000 tons).

NUTEP container terminal is the leading terminal in cargo transferring in Novorossiysk (its share is 48,8%) and the Azov and the Black Sea basin (its share is 48,1%) according to the report of 2019. It occupies 34 hectares, has its own railway park with 6 reception and departure sidings and possibility to create block-trains, as well as harbor railways and direct access to the major federal highway М4 'Don'. It can receive and dispatch containers via sea, railroad or on trucks, and serve vessels such as Panamax and Post-Panamax. In 2019 15m deep dock №38, began operating at NUTEP, being able to receive container ships up to 10 000 TEUs in capacity. The throughput capacity of the NUTEP terminal will increase to 700,000 TEU a year after the investment program is over in 2021.

Delo Service Operator operates 5 tugboats ASD Tug 2310, supplied by Damen Group from a Chinese shipyard. The sixth tugboat is scheduled to be delivered in 2021, it's expected to be named Delovoy-6, matching the rest of the tugboats. These vessels are used for towing, mooring and other logistic operations in DeloPorts' terminals in the Port of Novorossiysk.

Performance

DeloPorts' consolidated revenue in 2019 was 9,835 million roubles (-17,5% compared to 2018), the revenue from the container segment was 4,912 million roubles (+21% compared to 2018), the revenue from the grain segment was around 3,363 million (-44,1%). Consolidated EBITDA was 6,755 million roubles (-23,1%). Net profit was 4,863 million roubles (-20,4%), net liabilities were 22,126 million (+14,4%). Total cargo turnover in 2019 was 8,3 million tons (-4,6% compared to 2018).
DeloPorts accrues to the major share of Delo Group cash flow. For instance, in December 2017 — April 2018 Delo Group issued an offering of bonds for $140 mln and raised borrowings for DeloPorts to acquire 30.75% share of Global Ports' stevedoring company.

In October 2019, Expert RA agency affirmed the ruA+ credit rating with a stable outlook for DeloPorts.

From April 2018, the long term B+ corporate credit rating is valid. It was given to DeloPorts by Standard & Poor's.
In May 2020 S&P Global Ratings international rating agency reaffirms long term B+ credit ratings in foreign and national currency with a stable outlook and put "DeloPorts" away from the CreditWatch list.

In March 2019, Fitch confirmed BB- long term rating with a stable outlook.

Q: Displaying tableView items by CoreData attribute I am trying to group section 0 my tableView by the "category" attribute of an item.
Example:

Drinks: (item.category = header)
  Dr. Prepper
  Coke
  Pepsi
  Kitchen: (item.category = header)
  Pots
  Pans...etc.
  CrossOff(header)
  items

I still want section1 to be the item.slcross (or the last section if each group has to be their own section...and it doesn't have to be grouped).
When I change the secondarySortDescriptor key from "slitem" to "slcategory" and use the sectionHeader code below, it returns "nil". I also tried using
let sectionHeader2 = "\(item.valueForKeyPath("slcategory"))" but still had the same effect with both "slitem" and "slcategory".
Do I have to use a sort descriptor for each category or is there a way to make it pull the category attribute for the item and group the like categories together?
FRC set up:
let moc = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext

var frc : NSFetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController()

var selectedItem : List?

func itemFetchRequest() -> NSFetchRequest{

    let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "List")
    let primarySortDescription = NSSortDescriptor(key: "slcross", ascending: true)
    let secondarySortDescription = NSSortDescriptor(key: "slitem", ascending: true)
    fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [primarySortDescription, secondarySortDescription]
    fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format:"slist == true")
    return fetchRequest
}

func getFetchRequetController() ->NSFetchedResultsController{

    frc = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: itemFetchRequest(), managedObjectContext: moc, sectionNameKeyPath: "slcross", cacheName: nil)
    return frc
}

TableViewHeaders:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String?{

    let entityDescription = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("List", inManagedObjectContext: moc)

    let item = List(entity: entityDescription!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: moc)

    let sectionHeader = "\(item.slcategory)"
    let sectionHeader1 = "Items in Cart - #\(frc.sections![section].numberOfObjects)"
    if (frc.sections!.count > 0) {
        let sectionInfo = frc.sections![section]
        if (sectionInfo.name == "0") {
            return sectionHeader2
        } else {
            return sectionHeader1
        }
    } else {
        return nil
    }
}

A: There are a few ways to do this, but probably the easiest is to add a new method to your NSManagedObject subclass.  The method returns a string which will be used as the title for the section; so if slcross is false, it returns the value of slcategory, and if slcross is true it returns "True":
func sectionIdentifier() -> String {
    if (self.slcross) {
        return "True"
    } else {
        return "\(self.slcategory)"
    }
}

(Note this code goes in your List class definition, not your view controller).
In the view controller, use this sectionIdentifier as the sectionNameKeyPath for your FRC:
frc = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: itemFetchRequest(), managedObjectContext: moc, sectionNameKeyPath: "sectionIdentifier", cacheName: nil)

For that to work, it is imperative that the objects are sorted correctly: first by slcross, then by slcategory:
let primarySortDescription = NSSortDescriptor(key: "slcross", ascending: true)
let secondarySortDescription = NSSortDescriptor(key: "slcategory", ascending: true)

Finally, amend your titleForHeaderInSection to use the section name (which the FRC gets from sectionIdentifier), but replacing the "True" with your computed string:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String?{
    if (frc.sections!.count > 0) {
        let sectionInfo = frc.sections![section]
        if (sectionInfo.name == "True") {
            return "Items in Cart - #\(sectionInfo.numberOfObjects)"
        } else {
            return sectionInfo.name
        }
    } else {
        return nil
    }
}

A: From Apple Docs...

When you initialize the fetch results controller, you provide four parameters: .....
  ....Optionally, a key path on result objects that returns the section name. The controller uses the key path to split the results into sections (passing nil indicates that the controller should generate a single section).....
  After creating an instance, you invoke performFetch: to actually execute the fetch.

If you want to sort the sections by category then you need to make the sectionNameKeyPath argument in the NSFetchedResultsController init to be your "category" property instead of your "slcross" property.
When I've used this in the past I've also included that same property that I've set as the sectionNameKeyPath in my sort descriptors, but not sure if that is actually needed or not.
Hope I have answered your question?

The renown Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the northern tip of Chief's Island, within the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. The island is surrounded by open floodplains and the camp itself is largely built in and around the shade of some large Mangosteen, Ebony and Fig trees - overlooking a wonderful floodplain teeming with game.
The camp has nine luxuriously furnished tents, raised off the ground. The guests' rooms and connecting walkways that connect are up to two metres off the ground, allowing game to wander freely through the camp while at the same time allowing for guest safety. One often finds that animals take refuge under the rooms. The canvas rooms are spacious and well appointed and have en-suite facilities with an additional outdoor shower for those who enjoy a shower under the stars.
The dining room, pub and living area overlook the open plain in front of the camp and there is a plunge pool for relaxing in the heat of the day.
The camp offers abundant big game viewing, arguably the best in Botswana. The highlight is the concentration of plains game and all the predators - including the big cats. Lion sightings are particularly good. Guests can also see Leopard, large herds of Buffalo, Cheetah, Wild Dog, Elephant, Hyaena, Giraffe, Wildebeest and Zebra. Black and White Rhino have been reintroduced with outstanding success to the area (albeit most are further away from camp), thanks to the Botswana Rhino Reintroduction Programme.

Scotland announces moratorium on fracking
Colleen Mallick
January 29, 2015 01:23:20 pm
[JURIST] Scotland announced a moratorium on the granting of permits for unconventional oil and gas extraction, including fracking, on Wednesday amid environmental and health concerns. Energy minister Fergus Ewing [official website] told the Scottish parliament [statement] that the moratorium will give the government time to investigate the effects of the controversial drilling technique. The announcement puts a dent into British Prime Minister David Cameron's [official website] shale gas ambitions to promote growth in the North Sea's oil and gas production. The Scottish government will engage in a public consultation, so that all interested parties and members of the public can give their input. Friends of the Earth Scotland [advocacy website], led by Dr. Richard Dixon, applauded the decision and expressed hope that a full investigation into the health and environmental effects of fracking will lead to a complete ban on the drilling technique, as it did in Ireland, France and New York State, among other countries and regions. Public opposition against fracking in Scotland has increased dramatically, especially in areas where fracking companies conduct the drilling. Supporters of unconventional oil and gas extraction worry about Scotland's economic and energy security.
Hydraulic fracking [JURIST backgrounder] is a process by which chemicals and water are blasted deep underground to release trapped gas in rock. Hydraulic fracturing is a highly debated topic [JURIST report] in regions where recent Marcellus shale gas developments have been associated with toxic water pollution. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration said this month that they will block hydraulic fracturing across the state [JURIST report]. The New York State Assembly approved a two-year ban [JURIST report] on fracking in 2013. The measure postponed any potential fracking until May 15, 2015, by which time a "comprehensive health impact assessment" could be conducted to identify potential public health impacts that may result from the process. The ban represented a continuation of a previous ban on fracking that had been in place in the state since 2008. Also in 2013, JURIST guest columnist Nicolas Parke debunked rumors [JURIST op-ed] around fracking. In 2012 Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Vermont, New Jersey, New York and the Environmental Protection Agency all took regulatory, legislative and judicial steps towards restricting hydraulic fracturing [JURIST report] for fear of environmental and public health concerns.

China is the world's largest rice producer. Rice production accounts for about 40% of the world's total rice production, with an annual output of more than 180 million tons of rice, accounting for about 45% of the country's total grain output. China's annual rice bran oil production is at least 1.62 million tons. China's rice bran resources are abundant, and if it can be fully exploited and utilized, it will be of great significance to the development of China's food industry.
Rice bran oil is an ideal edible vegetable oil. The fatty acid is relatively complete and reasonable, and contains a variety of nutrients. Regular consumption of rice bran oil has a good effect on lowering human serum cholesterol and preventing symptoms such as arteriosclerosis and hypertension. It is precisely because of these inherent properties that rice bran oil is used more and more widely.
The preparation method of rice bran oil mainly includes microwave drying machine equipment, wood kneading machine, pressing method, leaching method, supercritical CO2 extraction method, enzymatic method and the like. At present, due to the relatively scattered raw materials of rice bran in China, some factories still use the pressing method.
In recent years, with the development of microwave technology, microwave drying technology has been widely used in the extraction of rice bran oil.
Although supercritical CO2 extraction technology is also applied, its application is still limited due to its relatively expensive equipment investment. Isopropanol extraction technology has been studied, but this method is currently limited to the laboratory stage and has not been applied to production practice. Enzymatic oil-making technology requires high types of enzymes, so the application is not very extensive.

Nils Henry Pederby, född 15 november 1903 i Stockholm, död 21 juli 1987 i Danderyds församling, var en svensk förläggare, läroboksförfattare och radiotjänsteman.

Henry Pederby föddes som son till den ensamstående Maria Lovisa Pettersson. Efter folksskollärarexamen i Linköping 1924 arbetade han 1925–1939 som folkskollärare i Misterhults socken. Vid sidan av sitt lärararbete kom Pederby under 1920- och 1930-talen att ägna sig åt folkbildning, och startade och drev studiecirklar  runtom i Kalmar län. 1934 blev han ledamot av Jordbrukare-Ungdomens Förbunds riksstudienämnd och redigerade en jultidning för förbundet. Pederby blev under tiden från 1939 tillförordnad och från 1940 ordinarie överlärare i Lofta landskommun. Han var under denna tid ledamot av Lofta kommunalfullmäktige 1939 och ordförande i kommunens kristidsnämnd. Under slutet av 1930-talet började Pederby skriva debattartiklar i rikstidningarna och Svensk Lärartidning om radions möjligheter som undervisningsmedium. Han skrev även manuskript för skolradion för att visa hur man med ljudets hjälp kunde levandegöra historiska händelser. Det ledde till att han 1943 anställdes vid Radiotjänsts skolradioavdelning som programtjänsteman. Under sin tid skapade han program där ljudet kombinerades med text och bilder i programhäften. Han startade även skolradiosändningar för undervisning i engelska. 1950 lämnade han Sveriges Radio och anställdes i stället som avdelningschef vid Svenska bokförlaget, där han i större skala fortsatte sitt läroboksförfattande. 1954–1967 var han VD för Magnus Bergvalls förlag, 1955–1967 sekreterare i Föreningen för svensk undervisningshistoria, 1969–1971 VD för bokförlaget Medium och 1971–1983 styrelseordförande där.

TheWiseJobSearch: Tell it like it is!
A great deal of job search advice available online, in books, and from coaches involves how to best answer various questions that come up in interviews.
Job seekers look for the best canned answers to help them ensure a positive outcome. They want to know the best spin or the "correct" response to get to the next stage of the hiring process or an offer.
While it is important to present yourself in the best way possible… it's a bad idea to give an answer that's not true for you!
It's not uncommon for someone to get the offer, and then find that the job is a disaster once they get to work. They often assume that the company wasn't forthcoming with them about the job or the culture. However, they don't think about how they may have portrayed themselves to the employer.
Someone pursuing a sales position may be asked about how they deal with cold-calling new prospects. Knowing that's an important point in the selection process for a new hire, they may paint a picture of enjoying it and aggressively going after it, while knowing that it's one of the least attractive aspects of a sales role for them.
They may get the position, but end up failing because they were in the habit of procrastinating when it came to cold-calls. They are frustrated with the company, yet the employer is frustrated as well since they were led to believe cold-calling was one of the candidates' strengths.
Someone may give the "correct" answer about preferring to work with a team as opposed to working individually, yet know that constant teamwork has generally led to dissatisfaction in their work life. They may convey that they appreciate accountability and feedback from their supervisor, but then be resentful because they feel micro-managed. They may "spin" a question on their weakness by implying they "work too hard", and then become irritated when they are consistently given projects that require extra hours and effort.
While always giving answers that they think the employer wants to hear, they often don't think about the picture they are painting of themselves and the expectations they are setting. They get the job, but everyone is disappointed when things don't turn out as hoped for.
Presenting your actual strengths, weaknesses, interests, abilities, and skills as positively as possible is critically important in the interview process. However, it's vital to be honest about yourself in those areas as well. Being honest may, at times, mean you don't get an offer. However, it would likely be a job that would be a poor fit for you anyway. Often, an employer is likely to find honesty refreshing, and they realize a candidate is not likely to fit every aspect of a job at any rate. Getting someone that will tell them things as they are is often more attractive than someone that tries to always deduce the "desired" answer.
Hone your answers to common interview questions carefully, however, always be sure to tell it like it is!

White House Summit to spotlight Milwaukee for water innovation
Posted by Lee Matz | Mar 22, 2016 |
"Milwaukee is the Silicon Valley of water innovation right now." – Ali Zaidi
The Obama Administration will host the first-ever White House Water Summit during World Water Day to raise awareness of the national importance of water.
As part of the March 22 meeting, the City of Milwaukee will announce that the International Water Association will be establishing its first North American regional office in Milwaukee.
The city will also introduce a new partnership with the Water Council, the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, and Marquette University. The aim of this collaboration will be to build or attract water-focused entrepreneurs and small businesses to Milwaukee, train hundreds of students with water-focused education qualifications, and implement the AWS International Water Stewardship Standard for ten percent of businesses in the Milwaukee area.
Dean Amhaus, President and CEO of The Water Council, will be representing Milwaukee at the Summit.
"All kinds of good stuff going on in your city," said Dr. John Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, during the White House briefing. "Part of the purpose of this summit is sharing best practices, letting people understand and benefit from what others are doing in this domain, and it's great to have Milwaukee making such a big contribution to that."
The Summit will focus on the importance of creative solutions for the current water problems, as well as highlight the innovative strategies that will catalyze change for how the nation uses, conserves, protects, and thinks about water.
"We had Dean Amhaus and others from the region at our round table in December, and the work Dean is doing in particular is totally remarkable," said Ali Zaidi, Associate Director for Natural Resources, Energy and Science from the Office of Management and Budget. "The incubator model that Milwaukee has used to generate interest both from entrepreneurs and engineers in pioneering technology breakthroughs is tremendous and something we want to see replicated around the country. Milwaukee is the Silicon Valley of water innovation right now."
Senior Obama Administration officials will join with water experts, practitioners, and leaders from organizations and institutions across the country to discuss how groups can work together to build a sustainable water future so that Americans have access to the safe, clean, and affordable water they need, when and where they need it.
"Communities and regions across the United States are facing water challenges, impacting millions of lives and costing billions of dollars in damages," said Holdren. "Recent events, including record-breaking drought in the West, severe flooding in the Southeast, and the water-quality crisis in Flint, Michigan, have elevated a national dialogue on the state of our water resources and infrastructure. This dialogue is increasingly important as a growing population and changing climate continue to exacerbate water challenges."
"Water innovation has lagged over a period of decades," explained Zaidi. "Clean energy R&D gets fifty times more investment than water R&D. That just shows how little we are investing in something we all clearly value and need at the end of the day."
Zaidi also pointed out that the nation wastes 7 billion gallons of cleaned and treated water every single day. It is a shocking total considering the how water resources are essential to the functioning of every aspect and sector of American society, including agricultural and energy production, industry and economic growth, human and environmental health, and national security.
The Summit builds on the December 15, 2015 White House Roundtable on Water Innovation, and will bring together representatives from Federal, State, regional, local and tribal levels, and from other stakeholder groups, to discuss and advance progress in this important area.

Meta's European warning wasn't a threat—but if it does have to withdraw, U.S. surveillance laws will be to blame
February 9, 2022, 12:04 PM UTC
Good morning. David Meyer here in Berlin, filling in for Alan.
Meta/Facebook has strongly denied reports that it is "threatening to leave Europe" owing to legal uncertainty around data protection compliance. "This is not true," wrote Europe public policy chief Markus Reinisch in a blog post. "We have absolutely no desire to withdraw from Europe."
I don't often sympathize with Meta, but on this occasion I can understand its frustration. As my colleagues Christiaan Hetzner and Jeremy Kahn reported a couple days ago, Meta's latest 10-K annual filing noted that—if it can't find a solid legal footing for exports of Europeans' personal data to the U.S.—it might be forced to stop offering its core services in the EU. This would be a huge deal, and it's Meta's responsibility to keep its investors apprised of the threat.
But this does not mean that Meta was making a threat—not that you'd know it from the many, many articles and pundits that framed it in that way, with some even trying to egg the firm on.
Here's Loup's Gene Munster on CNBC's Squawk Box yesterday: "[Mark Zuckerberg] is a shrewd operator, and I wouldn't put it past him to pause the service for a week. The reason is I think it would really punctuate that this is not a one-sided conversation, it's not just that tech is reaping benefits from these other countries. The small businesses, I think they actually do get a benefit from it, and if they did pause the service I think that lawmakers would hear about it…I don't think it's out of the realm [of possibility] that they flex that muscle in Europe."
With all due respect, this analysis spectacularly misses the point. So, without delving into the complex specifics, let's break Meta's plight (at least, this particular plight) down into the simplest possible terms:
1) The U.S.'s surveillance laws empower its intelligence agencies to collect and access foreigners' personal data that is held on the servers of U.S. Big Tech firms, and those companies cannot stop this. The U.S. also has no federal data protection law outside the health care sphere.
2) European law treats data protection and privacy as fundamental rights, meaning people there must generally have online privacy, and if their data is collected by intelligence or law enforcement then there must be an exceptional reason, along with strict controls that include mechanisms through which people can complain and stop their data being accessed.
3) Because the two systems are completely mismatched, the EU can't give American companies a free pass for importing Europeans' personal data. Its political leaders in the European Commission keep trying to create workarounds, but they keep getting shot down by the EU's top court. That's because—no matter how much Big Tech insists it will respect and protect Europeans' privacy—U.S. firms still can't say no to U.S. intelligence agencies, and Europeans still have no meaningful way to stop their data being collected in this way.
This is the legal reality, and there's no way Meta could change it by "flexing that muscle" in Europe. There's no point trying to sway members of the European Parliament because there's no data protection law being made right now—the GDPR is already in force and won't be revised for many years—and even if there was, Meta's name is mud and throwing its weight around would lead to certain disaster. The European Commission would love to make the problem go away, but it can't credibly keep pumping out workarounds that the courts then strike down. And the EU data protection authorities that enforce the law certainly wouldn't take kindly to threats.
Meta wasn't making a threat here. But if there's any lobbying to be done, it's back home. If the U.S. doesn't reform its surveillance and privacy laws, yes, there is a strong likelihood that its Big Tech companies will end up having to shutter their European operations. Investors need to know this—and wake up to the implications. More news below.

Peloton CEO
Peloton CEO John Foley will hand over the reins to former Spotify and Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy, and investors are so thrilled that the exercise-bike company's share price rose by a third. Here's Fortune's Phil Wahba: "The Peloton case makes clear that the entrepreneurial skills needed to launch and transform a startup into a corporate behemoth are not necessarily the same as those needed to run and scale a large company that faces unique challenges and growing pains."

European chips
The EU has a big plan to create a serious chipmaking industry, so it's not so reliant on Asia. As part of this effort, the EU would relax its state-aid rules so countries can offer handouts to the likes of Intel and TSMC, to entice them to set up European plants. Fortune

Here's a terrific and unsettling Fortune piece from Courtney Rubin about the direly discriminatory workplace culture at Activision Blizzard, the gaming giant that Microsoft is trying to buy for $68 billion. More than two dozen women say demeaning and bullying behavior was common, as was daytime drinking. Activision insists this is all in the past. Fortune
The FT has a deep dive into the sexual-misconduct scandal surrounding Julian Reichelt when he was editor of Bild, the flagship tabloid of Insider and Politico parent Axel Springer. The piece details how Springer top brass "rallied to protect" Reichelt when allegations surfaced, "advising him to deny everything" and exposing "some of the very people the [internal] probe was meant to protect." Financial Times
Diversity data
Companies should disclose their workforce diversity data in granular detail, JUST Capital's Ashley Marchand Orme writes in an interesting piece for Fortune. "It wouldn't require any significant additional effort from companies," Orme notes.
