Google Message on YouTube Incompatibility Back in 2010 when this device was first released, Google and Apple closely collaborated, to the point where many Google services came pre-installed on the iPad and iPhone, including a YouTube app. The strange thing is that I myself own an iPad 1 on which I updated all apps regularly starting in 2010. This won't work with all apps. With this application all are advantages.

It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Erding, M�hldorf, Rosenheim and Munich. 3 Coat of arms 4 Towns and municipalities The most important event in the district's history was the battle of Hohenlinden on December 3, 1800, which was a part of the Napoleonic Wars. The district includes rural areas east of the city of Munich. Despite the vicinity of Munich urbanisation is low. In the north there is a contiguous forest area of 80 km2, serving as recreation area for the population of the Bavarian capital. The forest consists of three separate unincorporated areas, Anzinger Forst, Ebersberger Forst, and Eglhartinger Forst. The arms display both parts of the word "Ebersberg": a boar (German "Eber") standing on a mountain (German "Berg"). These two symbols are part of the arms of the city of Ebersberg as well. In addition the district's arms include a fir, symbolising the forests of the region.

__label__cc	0.503675	0.496325	EU Parliament President concerned over Europe's shrinking Jewish population It has now been recognized that the Jewish population in Europe is shrinking. France: Majority indifferent to Jews leaving France. Via European Parliament: Parliament President Antonio Tajani To honour the upcoming International Holocaust Remembrance Day, MEPs held a ceremony in the Parliament on Wednesday together with representatives from Jewish communities in Europe and other dignitaries. Referring to the Holocaust as "the worst tragedy in European history", Parliament President Antonio Tajani said: “Remembering is not only an act of commemoration. It is a crucial process if we want to avoid repeating the same errors.” Tajani expressed concerns over Europe's shrinking Jewish population and the persistence of crimes against Jews. He added: "Remembering the terrible mistakes of the past gives us the possibility to remind ourselves that Europe has always been able to draw lessons from history for a future based on freedom, democracy and respect for human dignity." Labels: Europe , Perpetrators: Politicians , Type: Jews fleeing France: Socialist primary winner had backing of prominent anti-Semites The issue of the importance of the Muslim opposed to the much less important Jewish vote is not new in France - it was advocated 15 years ago by Pascal Boniface. Pascal Bruckner wrote: "When the political scientist Pascal Boniface, in a note to the leaders of the Socialist Party in April 2001, advised them, as a matter of simple electoral calculation, to abandon the Jewish vote (500,000 in France) for the Muslim vote (five million), he very honestly spilled the beans." A left-wing politician in France who was endorsed by the founders of the country’s Anti-Zionist Party handily defeated Prime Minister Manuel Valls in the Socialist presidential primaries. Benoit Hamon, who supports dramatically expanding welfare payments and has called for his party to support Palestinian causes to increase its appeal to Muslim voters, beat his hard-line challenger Sunday with 58 percent of the vote in the second and final round of the balloting. Last week, the comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala and the far-right author Alain Soral — who along with founding the Anti-Zionist Party both have multiple convictions for Holocaust denial and inciting racial hatred against Jews – endorsed Hamon publicly. Hamon disavowed Soral and Dieudonne. Soral wrote on his website that voting for Hamon was necessary to “knock Valls out of the race” because he is “a candidate who swore allegiance to the CRIF and to Israel be it through policy, media exposure, judicial means or by deploying the police.” CRIF is the umbrella group of French Jewish communities. Soral and Dieudonne cited Valls’ commitment to defending Jews against anti-Semitic violence. Valls is married to Anne Gravoin, a Jewish musician. In 2011 he said his marriage connected him “in an eternal way” to Israel and the Jewish people. He is also the only French prime minister who has said publicly that anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism. (...) Hamon in a televised interview last month called the establishment of a Palestinian state the “best way of ensuring Israel is not attacked by its neighbors.” But in a 2014 interview, he said that supporting the establishment of such a state was the Socialist Party’s “best way to recuperate our electorate in the suburbs and the neighborhoods” – code for Muslim voters — “who did not support the pro-Israeli position taken by President François Hollande.” Hamon had criticized Valls, too, for “giving in to Israel.” Labels: Country: France , Perpetrators: Politicians , Type: Israel-bashing UK: Outrage as Jewish students at SOAS told they can’t define anti-Semitism Jewish students’ campaign to define what they find “anti-Semitic” hit a brick wall at a Union General Meeting at SOAS University in London this week, with Jewish representatives blasting the “outrageous” comments made. SOAS Students’ Union, which supports a boycott of Israel, debated the ‘Jewish Equality Act,’ a motion proposed by economics undergraduate Avrahum Sanger, one of less than 40 Jewish students at the university. His requests were mainly met, such as kosher sandwiches in cafes, easier access to multi-faith prayers rooms and rescheduled activities around Shabbat and Jewish holiday. However the Union took issue exception to his additional request that Jewish students be able to define what is anti-Semitic. The clause in question read: “Jewish students should be given the right to self-determination and be able to define what constitutes hatred against their group, like all other minority groups.” Elsewhere, during another debate about the invitation of speakers to campus, one student singled out any “organisation that has any affiliation or any links to a Zionist or Netanyahu or to a Zionist ideology,” adding: “There will not be any tolerance of such organisations to host an event or speak on any topic regardless.” UJS campaigns manager Josh Nagli said: “The disgraceful comments regarding Zionist speakers will bring back dreadful memories of Jewish students’ experiences on campus in the 1970s when the banning of Zionist speakers led to Jewish Societies being banned.” Labels: Country: United Kingdom , Perpetrators: Academics , Type: Antisemitism denial Belgians who chanted about Jewish massacre indicted Three men were indicted in Belgium for chanting in Arabic at an anti-Israel rally about a site where Muslims are believed to have massacred Jews centuries ago. Two organizers of the Antwerp rally in July 2014 and a participant had cried out “Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Muhammad is returning,” the Gazet van Antwerp reported Tuesday about their indictment this week. The cry relates to an event in the seventh century when Muslims massacred and expelled Jews from the town of Khaybar, in modern-day Saudi Arabia. The Forum of Jewish Organization of Flanders filed a complaint against the men based on videos showing them chanting the slogan at the rally. The defendants, identified only as Youssef R., Suhail A. and Marc D.Q., are denying the chant was incitement to hatred. The verdict is expected next month. Labels: Country: Belgium , Perpetrators: Muslims , Type: Incitement Swiss government denies requests for public information about funding of framework distributing 56% of its budget to BDS advocacies The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), the country’s foreign ministry, has denied requests from a Swiss resident and from NGO Monitor research institute to provide public information about Swiss government funding to the Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat (the IHL Secretariat), a Ramallah-based framework that distributes 56% of its budget to NGOs that advocate for BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) campaigns against Israel. The FDFA claimed in his response that disclosure of the documents "might harm Swiss interests regarding foreign policy and international relations." NGO Monitor has since submitted an appeal to the FDFA, citing the Swiss Federal Act on Freedom of Information in the Administration (Freedom of Information Act, FoIA). The IHL Secretariat is an intermediary framework that distributes funds to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including to many active in BDS campaigns, and is managed by the Institute of Law at Bir Zeit University in Ramallah and the NIRAS consulting firm in Sweden. IHL is a funding scheme of the Swiss, Danish, Swedish and Dutch governments. According to the contract between the Swiss Confederation (represented by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs acting through the Swiss Cooperation Gaza & West Bank office) and NIRAS, the Swiss contribution to the IHL Secretariat amounts to CHF 3 million between December 12, 2013 and September 30, 2017. (...) According to NGO Monitor, NGOs receiving "core-funding" from the Secretariat include BADIL, Al-Haq, Addameer, and MIFTAH, which are at the forefront of BDS and lawfare campaigns. "The central question is why are audits of government financial contributions to a 'human rights' framework subject to such secrecy?" continued Sacks ( Shaun Sacks, Senior Researcher at NGO Monitor's Europe Desk). "Those most affected by the funding, including Israelis, Palestinians, and Swiss taxpayers should be able to see how these crucial decisions are made, and how this money is being spent," he said. Labels: Country: Switzerland , Perpetrators: Government , Perpetrators: NGOs , Type: BDS , Type: Incitement Germany: Muslim students protest Holocaust remembrance, school supports 'criticism' Muslim students of Arab and Turkish origin protested participation in an International Holocaust Remembrance Day event in Germany, while their high school’s administration showed understanding for their criticism of Israel. “Some Muslims students said they would not participate in the event,” said Florian Beer, a teacher at the school in the city of Gelsenkirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia state, Der Westen newspaper reported on Thursday. The Holocaust remembrance event was part of a global commemoration in which participants take selfie photographs along with a sign saying “I Remember“ or “We Remember.“ A blackboard at the school was defaced with the sentence: “F* Israel, free Palestine.” The school was not able to identify the perpetrator. The Weiterbildungskolleg Emscher-Lippe school, where the protest unfolded, has 500 students, 40% of whom have a migrant background. School director Günter Jahn told Der Westen it was good that there was student opposition to the remembrance event. “It is important that there is criticism. That is the basis for a discussion.” He added that in certain communities, criticism of Israel is demanded. The school is located in the northern part of the Ruhr region and Gelsenkirchen’s population in 2015 was roughly 260,000. Some of the students allowed themselves to be photographed with the remembrance signs but declined to permit the photographs to be displayed on the Internet. A number of students, according to Der Westen, asked, “Why always the Jews?” The students added there are, after all, other problems in world. Beer said the school likes to be provocative because there are always events at the school that leave an “aftertaste of antisemitism.” He added that representatives from the World Jewish Congress have been invited to come speak at the school.

The failed firebombing attack had occurred in 2014, during the Israeli conflict with Hamas in Gaza. In 2015 the lower court found that the men had intended their actions as a protest against Israel—with the result that the adults in the group deserved to have their sentences suspended, freeing them from jail time. And now, after review by a superior court, the German legal system has affirmed that German synagogues are legitimate targets of protest against Israel. Remember this moment, for the German courts have exposed the mechanism by which opposition to Israel proves indistinguishable from opposition to Jews. (...) To see the logic at play, suppose that three white men had attacked a traditionally black church in Birmingham, Alabama, scrawling graffiti and trying to set the church on fire. Caught and convicted, they were sentenced to a year in jail—with the jail time suspended. Yes, the judge explained, they had been unlawfully violent and thus deserved to be convicted. But he suspended their sentences because their purpose in attacking the African-American church had not been to harm Americans but to protest the failure of the Nigerian government to halt the kidnapping of schoolgirls by the radical African militia Boko Haram. (...) Black citizens of the United States are never taken as symbolic representatives of African governments. For that matter, imagine the outcry if a judge condoned violence against the places of worship of native citizens who happened to be Muslim—because a distant government was doing something objectionable. (...) What the German courts have revealed, however, is not so much the psychology as the logic by which anti-Semitism has returned to the West. A strong case can be made that modern anti-Zionism was always a subterfuge, born from an anti-Semitism trying to disguise itself. But now even the need to wear that mask seems gone. The German Muslims who attacked the Wuppertal synagogue in 2014 took Germany's Jews as representatives of Israel, and in 2017 the German courts agreed, simply as a matter of law. Think about that for a moment. Once non-Israeli Jews have been legally recognized as symbols of Israel, not even a ray of daylight can slip between opposition to Israel and opposition to Jews. (...) Once and for all, anti-Zionism equals anti-Semitism. German courts have told us so. Labels: Country: Germany , Perpetrators: Courts , Type: Glorifying or Justifying Killing Jews Norway: Media doesn't forget to explain that Trump's son-in-law is Jewish Via The Local (h/t CFCA): Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten has apologized for a formulation used when describing Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser. On January 12th, Aftenposten wrote in an article about Kushner that “the Jew Kushner reportedly pushed for David M. Friedman as the new ambassador to Israel”. The Norwegian Jewish society Det Mosaiske Trossamfund (DMT) took offence to the wording and asked the newspaper to issue an apology. “It is anti-Semitic when Aftenposten journalists believe that Kushner’s Jewish identity explains why he allegedly pushed to get Friedman as ambassador. This is a coarse generalization based on the myth that Jews have a different loyalty. The accusation that Jews have a different loyalty is an accusation that is hundreds of years old,” DMT head Ervin Kohn told Norwegian news source Minerva. Aftenposten news editor, Tove Tveøy Strøm–Gundersen told the same source that the newspaper has sent an apology to the Jewish community. “This is a term that has also been used in an anti-Semitic context. It was not our intention to create that kind of negative association. We've discussed this internally and concluded that it is right to apologize for the choice of wording,” she said. Strøm–Gundersen added however that Aftenposten did not conclude that Kushner’s lobbying on behalf of Friedman was because he is Jewish but rather that his religion “is not uninteresting information for our readers”. “When [conservative American politician] Rick Santorum fights for stricter abortion laws, we inform readers that he is a Catholic. When Donald Trump chooses to use his son-in-law as a player in the Middle East - and when one of the issues Kushner is reported as having been directly involved in was the appointment of a new Israeli ambassador - then it is natural to mention that he is an Orthodox Jew,” she said. While Aftenposten issued an apology, rival newspaper Dagbladet said it saw no reason to regret its choice of wording in an article on Kushner in which the headline asked “what experience does he have besides being a Jew and married into the family?” “It’s important to look at the context in which Jared Kushner’s religious affiliation was mentioned. Trump himself has made a number out of the fact that Kushner is Jewish, in part to position him as a friend to Israel, and has already set his Middle East policy high on his agenda,” Dagbladet editor Hilde Schjerve told Minerva. “It has also been controversial that Trump has appointed his own son-in-law as responsible for the Middle East because Kushner lacks political experience and has previously given money to Israeli settlements - something that has helped to cast doubt on his ability to mediate peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” Schjerve added.

In fact, as far as I could determine, the action taken recently by students at the Laisves (freedom) Gymnasium (high school) in Naujoji Vilnia, a suburb of the capital, Vilnius (Vilna), is unprecedented since Lithuania regained its independence in 1990. So what prompted this unusual case of student insubordination, which garnered headlines in the largest of the Baltic republics? At this point, we must differentiate between the official version of the story and what appears to be the real reason for the events which took place at the high school several weeks ago. According to the principal, the teacher in question, Marius Janulevicius, who teaches Lithuanian language and literature, had spoken harshly to one of the school’s female cleaning staff, which prompted his immediate dismissal. Such a step might seem unduly harsh, but the real reason for his dismissal apparently had nothing to do with that incident. It was because of an unusual, and unprecedented, film project undertaken by Andzej Davlevic, Dominykas Versalovicius and Deividas Svencionis, three of the school’s pupils, with the encouragement and tutelage of Janulevicius. The film, The Forgotten, commemorates the Jewish victims of the Holocaust in Lithuania. These same students had originally approached their history teacher with the idea for the film, but she strongly discouraged them, suggesting it would be far better to deal with historical tragedies which had befallen Lithuanians. “Don’t deal with the fate of the Jews,” was her unequivocal message. But the three boys were determined to deal with the Holocaust and were able to carry out the project in their free time, with the enthusiastic help of Janulevicius. The film was produced and put online (but has still not been screened at the school), and once it became public knowledge the reprisal from the school came very swiftly – once an excuse presented itself to fire Janulevicius. The authorities, however, did not anticipate the reaction of the students, who rallied to his defense, barricading the school and locking the principal in her office.

He was replaced by a pro-BDS politician, Pierre-Yves Dermagne. In 2016 a Belgian economic delegation was slated to visit Israel. Together with a few other Brussels and Walloon MPs, Pierre-Yves Dermagne asked for the visit to be cancelled. Le Vif reported that a collaborator (himself very anti-Israel) of the Socialist party president Elio Di Rupo had complained that Dermagne could have expressed his opposition privately and not embarrass the party by going public about it. Pierre-Yves Dermagne is the son Jean-Marie Dermagne, a rabid anti-Israel lawyer and 'human rights activist' who peddles on his FB account conspirationist theories. He was Dieudonné's lawyer and accuses Israel of being "the master of the world". Jean-Marie Dermagne re-posted this conspirationist and anti-semitic meme (see explanation here). “There are only 9 countries in the world without a Rothschild Central Bank: Russia, China, Iceland, Cuba, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Hungary. Isn’t it funny that we are always at war with these countries?” Another example of Dermagne's hatred of Israel as reported on this blog: A Belgian delegation headed by a socialist MP Gwenaelle Grovonius was barred from entering Gaza. Obviously it's big news on Belgian media. This caused an indignant Jean-Marie Dermagne to post the following message on Facebook: "Yet another affront. This justifies the breaking of relations (between Belgium and Israel). Israel is the master of the world". Jean-Marie Dermargne is a lawyer, a former president of the Bar of Dinant, a member of the Human Rights League, a vice president of the Union of lawyers for democracy (Syndicat des avocats pour la démocratie), director of Sirde /UCL/ LLN (Catholic University of Louvain). During a debate on Belgian State TV he was presented as Dieudonné's lawyer - at the end of the show, Dieudonné and his wife sent a note refuting the claim and demanding that Dermargne stop saying that he is their lawyer - they named their two official Belgian lawyers. It seems that Dermagne used to be their lawyer but no longer, but he didn't see fit to say so... In 2009, Jean-Marie Dermagne wrote a pro-Dieudonné article entitled Does Dieudonné fornicate with the devil? By the way, neither he nor his son the minister is on record condemning Belgian government high level official visits to countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Iran... Unsurprisingly 74% of the Belgian population feel that their elites have let them down.

We asked witnesses to the performance to e-mail us, and interestingly Icke’s associates urged his disciples to contact us. We have received numerous e-mails from Icke’s devotees unanimously reassuring us that Icke is no antisemite, and his message is one of love and compassion. We decided to publish extracts below, unedited save for the grammar and spelling. While their comments are patently risible, they are also highly dangerous. They illustrate how easy it is for a demagogue like Icke to convince people that age-old antisemitic conspiracy myths are real. Icke passionately warns his followers that the “Rothschild Zionists” have the world in their grip, and that even the antisemitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion should be heeded. It is perhaps unsurprising that people who are willing to pay up to £80 to be lectured for twelve hours straight by Icke are susceptible to his views. It is, nonetheless, extremely alarming. He preys on ordinary people who are suggestible, and persuades them that he is revealing a hidden truth, and that they cannot trust anybody else to be honest with them. Like a cult leader, he “wakes them up” from the “dreamworld” they were living in before they met him. Take David Wright for example. He resoundingly endorsed Icke’s philosemitic credentials, telling us: “Just because he believes a Jewish elite run the world doesn’t make him an antisemite.” In a separate e-mail, he assured us that: “David Icke is nothing like an antisemite,” reinforcing the point with a link to David Icke’s “Rothschild Zionism” speech.

The book will not be removed from German schools' bookshelves, however. Based in Berlin, the Klett-Verlag publisher told Vice magazine blogger Philipp Frohn that the "regrettable mistake" would be corrected in a future edition, which will not come out for several years. At issue is an image in the firm's textbook about politics, called "Impulses 2." It depicts the euro as a Pacman-like chomping mouth about to devour Europe superimposed over a symbol with the words "Rothschild Bank." The notion that the Jewish banking family is controlling the world for its own selfish purposes "is a classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that the Nazis made good use of," Frohn wrote. "The message to pupils ... is clear: The driving force behind the whole nasty affair is a bank. A Jewish bank," he added. The book credits the notorious American illustrator David Dees, whose work the New York-based Anti-Defamation League called "anti-Semitic and conspiratorial" in a 2008 report.

The defendant is allegedly a member of National Action, a violent neo-Nazi group which recruits teenage children and university students. The Home Secretary designated National Action a proscribed terrorist organisation last month after a long campaign by Campaign Against Antisemitism and others. Prosecutor Barnaby Jameson told the jury that the teenage defendant made a viable bomb using fireworks after seeking out instructions on the internet. He said that the defendant often wore a business suit, but beneath his respectable veneer he was an unabashed neo-Nazi who allegedly sent friends racist Snapchat messages, leading to police being alerted to what he was preparing. When police entered his bedroom they found it festooned with Nazi flags including the swastika and the emblem of Hitler’s Waffen SS. His laptop screensaver was an image of a Nazi eagle over a Swastika and Hitler’s famous slogan: “Ein volk, ein reich, ein führer” (one people, one nation, one führer). Police found the bomb in a drawer. According to the prosecution, police found that after he became involved with National Action, the defendant had written online: “Focusing on making homemade weapons [guns] and explosives, as well as amassing a collection of knives. We don’t have any right to bears arms, so the resistance has to learn to construct its own weapons.” He began attending National Action rallies and participating in sticker campaigns to spread their message, the prosecutor said. In early June, he wrote to a friend on Facebook Messenger: “The IRA is where we get most of our techniques from. We follow them religiously, the way they operated in an urban environment. The way they blended into the population. Urban guerrilla warfare is what we need to learn.” He also posted: “I wish the Nazis had won the war.

Professor David Hirsh arrived on campus to see that one of the suggestions was to remove him. The comment read “no more David Hirsh, no more Zionism — a bitter Jew” appended by a smiley face. This not even the first but rather ” the third openly antisemitic piece of graffiti at goldsmiths in a year.” The university responded they “condemn this action – this is an unacceptable attack on a member of Goldsmiths staff.” This though is nonsense. Goldsmiths proudly provide an environment in which the breeding swamp of antisemitism flourishes. I have been to several anti-Israel events there and felt the hatred myself. You cannot create an environment so hostile and refuse to accept the responsibility when the sewer spills over. Even their rugby team has an emblem on their shirt that has obliterated Israel. What did they expect? Just a few weeks before this, my daughter came home distraught, because the local bus stop had been vandalised with horrific antisemitic graffiti. How do you deal with a fourteen-year-old who phones in tears because somebody has abused her so anonymously? Why should we even have to deal with this question? Just two weeks ago, my wife lost income as a direct result of her identity. We are aware that the cancellation of an assignment, was down to the realisation on the part of the client that my wife had been educated in Israel. For a Muslim Councillor in a nearby town, that was an unacceptable connection to make. Today, the editor of the UK’s Jewish Chronicle Stephen Pollard, went to a local coffee shop (in Tottenham Court Road) for a sandwich. He heard a discussion on a nearby table. Two girls were talking about Israel. The conversation swiftly switched to Jews. “She’s Jewish and she’s like really annoying – you know, rich like the rest of the them and keeps going to fing Israel for holidays.” The response: – “”Ugh. Hate them”. This week, there have also been a spate of attacks against Jewish homes across North West London. In one attack, in the early hours of Saturday morning, a brick was thrown through the window of a Jewish home. A group of Jews were pelted with eggs while walking home from Shabbat dinner. Another property was daubed with swastikas. Last week on a different campus in London, there is footage from an event promoting the boycott of Israel.

The Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly, also known as PACE, voted on Tuesday in favor of a resolution, based on an internal report on the humanitarian situation in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian enclave, which charges Israel with “excessive and intentional force without justification against Palestinian civilians in the buffer zone, including against farmers, journalists, medical crews and peaceful protesters, [which] runs blatantly counter to human rights principles and the international law-enforcement standards.” “Cases of the deliberate fatal shooting of individuals who posed no imminent danger to life amounts to an appalling pattern of apparently systematic unlawful killings,” read the report, which was composed by Eva-Lena Jansson, a Swedish politician from the Swedish Social Democratic Party, and presented on January 4 to the assembly, made up of 324 parliamentarians from 47 countries.

Forty-two out of 180 EU grantees in total support BDS – through participation in activities and events, signing of petitions and initiatives, and/or membership in explicit BDS platforms. A number of organizations were funded through more than one EU grant, sometimes as part of the same program (“Double Dipping”). The EU expressly opposes BDS. When confronted by evidence of funding for NGOs with agendas or values that contradict EU policy, the EU’s recurring response is that it “funds projects submitted by NGOs, in line with [the] EU’s fundamental principles and values, but not NGOs themselves.” A grant titled “Performing Arts: A Pathway Towards Self Expression and Democracy” amply demonstrates this flawed logic. In 2014, during their participation in the EU’s Cultural Programme, all twelve beneficiaries of this grant initiated a group statement calling for a cultural and academic boycott of Israel.

A new national study conducted by the Center for Research on Prejudice at the University of Warsaw finds a significant increase in negative attitudes toward Jews since 2014. The research, covering the years 2014-2016, shows that anti-Semitic hate speech is becoming increasingly acceptable and enjoys a growing popularity on the Internet and on Polish television. The study took actual examples of anti-Semitic statements found in different media and asked respondents if they found these statements offensive. In all cases, the statements were found to be less offensive in 2016 than in 2014. The difference was most pronounced among young people. For instance, a statement referring to Jews as scumbags was found offensive to 43 percent of young people in 2016, as compared to 66 percent in 2014. The statement was offensive to 69 percent of older people in 2016, as compared to 78 percent in 2014. The study offers as an explanation that young Poles are accustomed to anti-Semitic statements on the Internet. In the last two years, the percentage of young people with Internet contact increased from 58 percent to 74 percent. Poland’s organized Jewish community of 10,000 is only 0.1 percent of the Polish population of 38.2 million. More than 80 percent of Poles say they have never met a Jew. Yet, according to the study’s findings, Poles are increasingly unwilling to accept Jews as co-workers, neighbors, or a member of their family. More than half of Poles – 55.98 percent – would not accept a Jew as a family member, a jump from 45.53 percent in 2014. A third of Poles – 32.20 percent – would not accept a Jew as a neighbor, an increase from 26.70 percent in 2014. And 15.1 percent would not accept a Jew as a co-worker, up from 10 percent in 2014. The study notes that a sharp rise in Islamophobia has been accompanied by a distancing from other ethnic groups, including Jews. “The more people are anti-Muslim, the more they’re anti-Semitic,” said Michal Bilewicz, the Center’s director. “They portray George Soros as the embodiment of the Jewish conspiracy that’s helping to finance the influx of Muslims that poses a threat to Christian civilization in Europe.” Labels: Academic: Statistics , Country: Poland , Perpetrators: General Public , Type: Conspiracy theory Russia: Duma’s Deputy Speaker speaks against Jews Via Jewish Press: The Russian Federation of Jewish Communities (FJC) on Tuesday accused the Duma’s Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy of undermining international peace and called on the Parliament to rebuke him for his statements concerning the handing over of St. Petersburg’s St. Isaac’s Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church, Interfax reported.

Piers has boasted of the family’s anti-racist credentials, but the mask is slipping.

Duda said: “I say it loud and clear here and in Poland: We also have painful memories but it was not we who invaded Poland in 1939, it was not we who planned the Holocaust, and it was not we who built the death camps on our own territory.” At the same time, Duda denied his country’s collective guilt for the atrocities of the Holocaust, saying Poles also suffered under the Nazi regime. Asked by ICFR Board member and distinguished Israeli scholar Shlomo Avineri whether Poland was not resorting to legislative measures to stifle academic discourse, particularly where research on Poland's wartime history was concerned, the president answered: "Historical truth is as it is. It is not always pleasant, and that is true for the Polish nation as well."We do not want to prosecute those who are conducting scholarly research but rather those who, in the wider world, promulgate lies defaming my country, my compatriots and me," he added, referring to a bill currently under discussion in Poland. He said no final decision about the law had been taken yet. President Duda defended recently passed legislation that criminalizes the use of the phrase “Polish death camps” in reference to Nazi extermination camps in occupied Poland. He said the world should not refer to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibór or Chełmno as Polish concentration camps. “They were not Polish camps. This absurd name refers only to geography,” he said. “How would you feel if a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv was called ‘an Israeli attack’? How would the Japanese feel if the Hiroshima atomic bomb was referred to as ‘a Japanese nuclear attack’? It is a historical distortion.” Labels: Country: Poland , Perpetrators: Government , Type: Antisemitism denial , Type: Holocaust negationism , Type: Misc German Court Rejects Effort to Ban Neo-Nazi Party Via New York Times: Germany’s highest court rejected on Tuesday an attempt to ban the National Democratic Party, the country’s oldest far-right political organization, finding that it did not pose a danger to democracy even though its principles violate the Constitution. The ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court came after years of deliberation and at a time of soul-searching in the country, where another right-wing party, Alternative for Germany, is poised to win representation in Parliament in national elections this year. Although the National Democratic Party “pursues aims contrary to the Constitution,” there was a lack of “concrete supporting evidence” that the neo-Nazi party would be able to successfully achieve its goals and to pose a genuine threat, said Andreas Vosskuhle, the president of the court. “That a party has aims that run contrary to the Constitution is not sufficient grounds for banning a party,” he said. Labels: Country: Germany , Perpetrators: Courts UK: SOAS students 'scared to wear the star of David and speak Hebrew’ Via Evening Standard: A proudly-progressive stance is part of SOAS’s draw. Russell Brand and political activists are among its current student body, alongside more typical students (one on SOAS steps was debating the merits of cigarettes versus spliffs when I visited), while Jemima Khan received her MA there in 2003. The school is diverse: its 5,900 students hail from 133 countries, and it likes to celebrate this diversity. But according to Avrahum Sanger, president of SOAS’s Jewish Society (JSoc), there is a minority that doesn’t feel able to express itself. He believes there is an anti-Semitic sickness in the heart of Bloomsbury. “Some students tell me they are too scared to wear the star of David, or speak Hebrew, and Israeli students don’t want to attend Jewish events because they’re afraid of being singled out,” he tells me. “Even I feel uneasy when I go into the student union. And yet someone from the student union...” — he wouldn’t be drawn on who — “...told me that the anti-racism officers didn’t have a mandate to address anti-Semitism as it wasn’t in their manifesto.

Hanukkah: A Great Miracle Happened There From RadioArt(r) \| 58:10 A conversation between Rabbi Ismar Schorsch and Host Larry Josephson about the history, rituals and meaning of Hanukkah--and its importance in our time. (Revised 2013) RadioArt(r) "A Great Miracle Happened There: A Hanukkah Special," is a conversation between Rabbi Ismar Schorsch and Host Larry Josephson about the history, rituals and meaning of Hanukkah--and its importance in our time. Cantors David Lefkowitz and Elisheva Dienstfrey sing the music of Hanukkah. Rabbi Ismar Schorsch explains that Hanukkah is really about a Jewish civil war, a war between assimilated, Hellenized Jews and a pious band of zealots, the Maccabees. The well-known "miracle of the oil," occurs at the end of the story--after the Temple has been retaken by the Maccabees, and rededicated and cleansed. Rabbi Schorsch also talks about Hanukkah as "the Jewish Christmas." Dr. Ismar Schorsch is Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Larry Josephson is a veteran public radio host and interviewer, whose programs have been heard in New York, and nationwide for over 35 years. Glorious music of Hanukkah is sung by Cantor David Lefkowitz of The Park Avenue Synagogue in New York, and by Cantor Elisheva Dienstfrey, now of Congregation Agudas Achim in Alexandria, Virginia. Both are graduates of the Seminary. Additional music from "Voice of the Turtle" and the Zamir Chorale of Boston. Revised, 2014.

The Kabbalah of Chanukah: An Inspirational Program for the Festival of Lights A jazz-virtuoso cantor and a kabbalistic psychotherapist bring their respective talents together, to provide new inspiration for Chanukah! Weaving a tapestry of tales and teachings from the Kabbalah together with sacred music from around the world, this dynamic duo reveals some of the hidden treasures of this ancient spiritual tradition. This program is being offered for Chanukah programming in 2006. (Chanukah is from after nightfall on 12/15, ending at nightfall of 12/23.) The Kabbalah of Chanukah \| 55:54 Yiddish Radio Project Holiday Special, Hour One From Sound Portraits \| 58:59 Two self-contained hours of special programming based on the acclaimed ten-part ATC series, with a Web site filled with photos, features, background, and sound at YiddishRadioProject.org.

Sound Portraits Two self-contained hours of special programming based on the acclaimed ten-part ATC series, with a Web site filled with photos, features, background, and sound at YiddishRadioProject.org Yiddish Radio Project Holiday Special, Hour One \| 58:59 Portraits of Faith From Aaron Henkin \| 49:27 Nine people of nine different faiths and philosophies attempt to answer a deceptively simple question: What does it mean to you to believe? Aaron Henkin This is a one-hour, talk-clock-formatted documentary special that might make a nice addition to your program schedule if you're looking for some holiday programming or just wanting something contemplative to put on your airwaves. Here in Baltimore, my friend Jason and I set out on a simple mission: We criss-crossed our city and met with nine people of nine different faiths. We asked them each a set of identical questions about what it means for them to 'believe.' We talked with an Orthodox Muslim, a Buddhist monk, a Christian minister, a Jewish cantor, an atheist, a Quaker, a United Methodist / Episcopalian, a Catholic, and a Keetowah Cherokee. They all spoke eloquently about how their beliefs give them strength and comfort, and also about how those beliefs can sometimes give way to doubt when tested. We ended up with nearly nine hours of audio, and when we finally whittled it down and cut it together into this radio special, we realized there's a pretty incredible amount of common ground beneath the religious differences that often seem to divide us. If you're interested in licensing this special, I'd be happy to custom-tailor a promo for you and help you out with whatever else you might need.

Portraits of Faith \| 49:27 An Open Gate From Claire Schoen \| Part of the ILLUMINATIONS: Jewish Culture in the Light of the World series \| 59:01 What happens to the children when Jews and Christians marry? An Open Gate looks at this question with humor and sensitivity. Jews and Christians speak about growing up within their faith and how intermarriage has redefined their perspective. Interfaith couples grapple with the challenge of celebrating holidays as a family as they attempt to instill a sense of religion, community and holiday spirit. This program also digs deep into the historical underpinnings of these two religions, exploring Jewish fears of Christian anti-Semitism and Christian desires to share Jesus' love with people they care about. Claire Schoen "An Open Gate" is an hour-long audio documentary exploring the repercussions of a Jewish/Christian intermarriage on faith, identity and the family. Claire Schoen and Helen Stolzfus - CoProducers. A Traveling Jewish Theatre - Executive Producer What happens to the children when Jews and Christians marry? "An Open Gate" explores this question with humor and sensitivity. Jews and Christians speak about growing up within their faith and how intermarriage has redefined their perspective.

This program also digs deep into the historical underpinnings of these two religions, exploring Jewish fears of Christian anti-Semitism and Christian desires to share Jesus' love with people they care about. As couples in this program struggle with these questions, they shed light on the broader issues we all face in trying to preserve our own culture while becoming part of the global village. (Each of the 3 shows in this series can be broadcast as stand-alone programs.) An Open Gate \| 59:01 Happy ChallaDAY! From Camino Real Productions, LLC \| 53:39 Happy ChallaDAY! An original musical comedy for Hanukkah. Book, music and lyrics by Charles Moster. Camino Real Productions, LLC Inspired by the rather odd fact that the most famous Christmas song ever written, “White Christmas,” was composed by Irving Berlin, a Jew, Charles Moster has composed this light-hearted spoof parodying the old Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye movie “White Christmas.” General Waverlystein, retires from the Israeli army and opens a B&B on the Red Sea. Two of his old army entertainment corps buddies, now big stars known as the Sinai Schlamazels, join forces with the Schwartz Sisters to save his business by putting on a big holiday show. Happy ChallaDAY! \| 53:39 La Nona Kanta ("The Grandmother Sings") From Julie Subrin \| 14:22 Profile of Flory Jagoda, an 83-year-old Sephardic folk singer from Sarajevo. Julie Subrin Flory Jagoda grew up in a family of singers. Her childhood, in a mountain village outside of Sarajevo, was filled with songs, sung in Ladino - the language passed down by Jews expelled from Spain during the Inquisition - that told of the loves, lives and rituals of her community. With the horror of World War II, all that changed. She and her parents were the only survivors of the 42-member Altaras family. Since then, Jagoda, winner of a 2002 NEA National Heritage fellowship, has dedicated her professional life to composing, performing and teaching songs that preserve her memories of that lost life. Her songs, sung in Ladino, echo the Spanish and Bosnian melodies and rhythms of her past. This piece combines Jagoda's stories - told unflinchingly, and with humor and warmth - with music from her 4 recorded CDs. "La Nona Kanta" could air anytime, but might be especially appropriate during Hanukkah, as Jagoda is perhaps best known for what has now become something of a Hanukkah standard, her original composition, "Ocho Kandelikas." This piece was recorded and produced in 2007. La Nona Kanta ("The Grandmother Sings") \| 14:22 Schnartzenholler It's not Christmas. It's not Hanukkah. It's Schnartzenholler!

Terin Mayer Emma Cohen finds herself working on campus during the winter holidays, living in a dingy little room in your quintessential college dorm. For a practicing, but non-beliving Jew, Chanukah is a particularly important holiday for Emma. Its about tradition and ritual. But this winter, she doesn't go home. Instead, and by complete coincidence, she spends the festival of lights with Byron White. He's a big personality on campus, the kind of guy who's friends with everybody, but that nobody really knows. This is the story of their dorm-lounge Chanukah, and how they got to know each other. Every night, after the candles were lit, there was nothing to do but talk. Chanukah with Byron \| 08:54 Like Hanukah Oil, Endangered Ladino Language Endures Among Jews From Rhonda J. Miller \| Part of the Ladino: The Endangered Language of the Spanish Jews series \| 04:56 As Jews around the world prepare to celebrate Hanukah, some in Boston are singing in Ladino, a language UNESCO rates as "severely endangered" in its 2009 Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. Ladino has been traveling with the Jews since they were expelled from Spain in 1492. Like Hanukah Oil, Endangered Ladino Language ... Rhonda J. Miller The endangered Ladino language, also called Judeo-Spanish, is a language without a country. Ladino has been traveling with the Jews since they were expelled from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. It has been kept alive in pockets of culture around the world, including Israel and Turkey, and some places in the U.S., such as New York, Florida and Seattle, Washington. Some universities in Israel have established programs on Sephardic culture and the Ladino language, but in the United States, the longest-running - and many say the only consistent - Ladino instruction at a university is by Professor Gloria Ascher at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, near Boston. Ascher is Co-Chair of the Judaic Studies program at Tufts and initiated Ladino classes 10 years ago. Some students, professors and people from the community have studied up to four semesters of Ladino. Besides Ascher, others find Ladino calling to them. Vocalist Julia Madeson has performed many styles of music, and now performs Ladino with area musicians, some of them students at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she is Coordinator of the Guitar Department. As Hanukah approachs and Jews prepare to commemorate the miracle of oil supposed to burn for one day -but lasting eight days - the singing of Ladino songs is also a reminder of the endurance of Jewish culture, despite the Jews' often forced scattering around the globe. Like Hanukah Oil, Endangered Ladino Language ... \| 04:56 Ladino Hanukah Songs Shed Light on Endangered Language of Jews As the candles of Hanukkah connect Jews around the world, holiday songs in Ladino shine a light on a language UNESCO rates as “severely endangered.” An increasing number of musicians in many countries are singing in this Judeo-Spanish language, which means it is no longer just your grandmother's Ladino. Ladino Hanukah Songs Shed Light on Endangered ... As the candles of Hanukah connect Jews around the world, holiday songs in Ladino shine a light on a language UNESCO rates as “severely endangered.” A growing number of musicians are discovering Ladino, also called Judeo-Spanish, a language in danger of dying, along with its elderly speakers. With musicians in the United States, Latin America and Israel singing, and even writing, songs in this Judeo-Spanish language, it is no longer just your grandmother’s Ladino. Ladino has become part of the soundscape of the Jewish musical revival and a recognized element of world music. Ladino Hanukah Songs Shed Light on Endangered ... \| 04:24 The Stories of Hanukkah From Eric Molinsky \| 04:58 Hanukkah can be seen as a holiday about assimilation. Eric Molinsky Hanukkah has become the pinnacle of assimilation for American Jews. Dreidels and Menorahs hang in holiday displays alongside Christmas trees and wreaths. But the real history of Hanukkah is sometimes forgotten. The ancient war that Hanukkah celebrates was very much a civil war between religious and secular Jews. A former Orthodox Jew explains (while cooking latkes) how this 2,000 year old struggle over assimilation has affected her life.

__label__cc	0.687754	0.312246	Tender is the Night A Romance Fitzgerald, F Scott Roth, Joseph - The Radetzky March - ( Item 126772 ) Published in London by Folio Society. 2014. First Thus. Fine Hardback. Sealed. No inscriptions or bookplates. Near Fine slipcase. Slight bump to the edge of one panel of slipcase. Introduced by William Boyd. Illustrated by Tim Laing. At once epic and intimate, this deeply compassionate portrait of a family and the empire they serve places its author alongside Tolstoy and Chekhov. Joseph Roth was born in East Galicia, now Western Ukraine, in 1894, to an Austrian Jewish family. The Radetzky March; his acknowledged masterpiece; was published in 1932, seven years before he died in impoverished exile in Paris. This edition uses the acclaimed translation by Michael Hofmann, which was largely responsible for the revival of this neglected classic. Tim Laing has created a series of photo-realist pencil drawings that celebrate the story's naturalism. In his introduction, novelist William Boyd praises this remarkable novel which, 'because of its deep, sympathetic, non-judgmental understanding of our flawed humanity, achieves greatness'. Bound in buckram, blocked with a design by Tim Laing. Set in Janson. 352 pages. Frontispiece and 8 colour illustrations. 9" x 6�". A disintegrating empire revealed through three vivid lives.

__label__cc	0.553253	0.446747	Our film for January is SINCE OTAR LEFT (in French, with English subtitles) 2003. Winner of the prestigious Critics’ Week Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Set in a crumbling Tbilisi, Georgia in 2003, it’s spoken half the time in Georgian/Russian & half the time in French with English subtitles. Julie Bertuccelli’s first feature is suffused with indelible humanist values and emotions. The touching story of three generations of Georgian women, the film is effectively made, superbly acted and, at its centre, has a matriarch much like the ones who appeared in John Ford films. Bertuccelli’s documentary experience shows in the way she lets us soak in people and places before a plot emerges to shape bitter truth and familial affections into serio-comic deception. It’s lovingly done, scenes of the women washing each other’s hair or massaging granny’s feet expressing their affections more readily than words, yet the film offers even more than warming humanity. With a light dusting of Arvo Pärt on the soundtrack, proceedings patiently build in emotional resonance until a final surprising and moving confrontation with the City of Light. Ninety-year-old Gorintin is the absolute star, touchingly wise yet friskily coquettish, in one of 2003’s hands-down loveliest films. AND IT HAS JOKES!	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0037.json.gz/line45
__label__cc	0.649578	0.350422	SUZUKI RIDERS FIGHT HARD AT INDY SUPERCROSS The JGRMX/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team headed to Indianapolis, Indiana for round 11 of the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship and the sixth stop of the 250 Eastern Regional Supercross Series at the weekend. Despite a series of unfortunate events in the “Race Capital of the World,” the 250 and 450 teams all qualified strong and charged hard throughout the night. RM-Z250 rider Kyle Peters earned his best finish in the 250 main event after logging strong results in qualifying. Peters attacked the high-speed track with control and speed. After leading the pack for seven laps, he was passed but still managed to finish third in his heat. In the 250 main, he came through the first turn in fourth and held a top-five position for 13 laps, finishing in sixth place, which marked the best finish of his Supercross season. Teammate Alex Martin was hopeful to have a breakout performance in Indianapolis as the Suzuki RM-Z250 rider recorded the second-fastest lap in daytime qualifying and finished third in his 250 heat race. Although luck was not on A-Mart’s side in the main, he is never one to quit: After getting tangled with several riders in the first turn, he dug deep and moved up to ninth after being in last place for several laps. The gutsy ride helped Martin maintain his notable fourth place standing in the overall points. “I was super happy to qualify second in practice,” said Martin. “It was the most comfortable I felt before on a super rutted track. I had a great start in the main, but got sandwiched and fell in the first turn. It was damage control and bittersweet, because I had the speed and capabilities to be on the podium.” Two-time 450 Supercross Champion Chad Reed celebrated his 37th birthday over the weekend and looked to continue rewriting the history books. Racing his RM-Z450 in custom birthday graphics, Reed qualified ninth-fastest in the daytime sessions and fourth in his heat race. After a bad start in the 450 main, the Australian collided with another rider and fell. Reed charged his way up from the back of the pack to 11th when the chequered flag flew. Teammate Justin Hill was determined to ride the wave of confidence after earning a season-best the prior weekend in Daytona. The Suzuki RM-Z450 rider looked extremely comfortable in his first timed practice. Although he improved during the final session, Hill was bumped back to fifth in combined times. The 23-year-old finished eighth in his heat race and hovered around the top-10 during the early laps in the 450 main. While executing a tricky triple jump, Hill touched the back of another rider and crashed, finishing in a disappointing 14th place. “In the 450 class, Hill qualified well,” said Team Manager Jeremy Albrecht. “It was cool to see him do jumps that no one else was doing. Unfortunately, he came together with another rider in the main event and crashed.” The JGRMX/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team will travel to Centurylink Field in Seattle, Washington, on Saturday, March 23rd for the 12th round of the 2019 Monster Energy AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship. This will also serve as the seventh round of the 250 West Regional Supercross series. Kyle Peters [250 Class, 6th Place]: “It was a good day. We are still progressing, and the speed is coming up. I’m able to run the lead pace for longer and getting more comfortable at that pace. I still have a few areas to work on with Buddy Antunez, mainly in the 90-degree turns. I always want to improve, and I felt that I could have finished fifth this weekend. Unfortunately, I was dealing with some stomach cramps at the end of the race. However, the team made it happen for me and I earned my best result of the season. That’s something to build on.” Alex Martin [250 Class, 9th Place]: “I was super-happy to qualify second in practice. It was the most comfortable I felt before on a super rutted track. It set me up for the first gate pick in my heat, which was nice. We made some changes with the clutch this past week, and I made really good progress with my starts. We finally figured some things out. I had a great start in the main, but got sandwiched and fell in the first turn. I picked up my bike and was dead last. It took two laps to even catch anyone. I was motoring and got up to ninth at the checkers. It was damage control and bittersweet, because I had the speed and capabilities to be on the podium. I’m bummed, but I’m also looking forward to this break to start testing for outdoors.” Chad Reed [450 Class, 11th Place]: “The goal was to put together a more complete weekend. I was competitive in qualifying practice and possibly rode my best main of the season. As a team we made great progress throughout the weekend. Unfortunately, I had a crash on the opening lap of the main event and I was charging back from 22nd place. Still, I was happy with my pace for the race. Starts are frustrating. I feel like a golfer going through a bad swing cycle. I was awesome all off-season with my starts, and now find myself frustrated with my starts. I will continue working on this area.” Justin Hill [450 Class, 14th Place]: “It was a really rough main event. I hit neutral off the start, followed by a big crash a few laps in. I’m upset with the result, but also really happy with the bike. I’m feeling good and ready for Seattle.” Jeremy Albrecht [Team Manager]: “The results in the main events don’t show how well the guys were riding throughout the day. Alex Martin figured out that he needed to do a triple after the mechanic’s area in the main event. He was going for the holeshot in the main event and fell in the first corner. He fought really hard to get up to ninth. Kyle Peters keeps improving every week. He almost won his heat race. He started using lines to block riders behind him instead of taking the faster lines. Kyle rode well in the main and got sixth. He still wants to be better, which is great to see. “In the 450 class, Justin Hill qualified well. He looked great during press day. It was cool to see him do jumps that no one else was doing. Unfortunately, he ended up hitting another rider in the main event and crashed. Chad Reed also went down in the main. It was just one of those nights that wasn’t kind to us. Still, it was great that we were able to surprise Chad for his birthday with custom graphics.”	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0037.json.gz/line49

__label__wiki	0.649059	0.649059	Playing by the Informal Rules Why the Chinese Regime Remains Stable despite Rising Protests Part of Cambridge Studies in Contentious Politics Author: Yao Li, Harvard University, Massachusetts Please email academicmarketing@cambridge.edu.au to enquire about an inspection copy of this book Growing protests in non-democratic countries are often seen as signals of regime decline. China, however, has remained stable amid surging protests. Playing by the Informal Rules highlights the importance of informal norms in structuring state-protester interactions, mitigating conflict, and explaining regime resilience. Drawing on a nationwide dataset of protest and multi-sited ethnographic research, this book presents a bird's-eye view of Chinese contentious politics and illustrates the uneven application of informal norms across regions, social groups, and time. Through examinations of protests and their distinct implications for regime stability, Li offers a novel theoretical framework suitable for monitoring the trajectory of political contention in China and beyond. Overall, this study sheds new light on political mobilization and authoritarian resilience and provides fresh perspectives on power, rules, legitimacy, and resistance in modern societies. Presents a new view of political mobilization and authoritarian resilience Provides a novel theoretical framework in which to monitor the trajectory of political contention in China and beyond Proposes fresh perspectives on power, rules, legitimacy, and resistance in modern societies 'Playing by the Informal Rules tackles the important question of why we see regime resilience amidst high frequency of protests in China. Yao Li argues the answer lies in the state's use of informal norms in managing contention. Using both quantitative and qualitative field research data, Yao Li has been able to examine the macro picture and micro dynamics of protest cases. This well-researched book speaks to a broad range of literature in authoritarian politics and social movement. It deserves to be widely read.' Lynette Ong, University of Toronto 'Carefully analyzing the interaction between protesters and officials in China, Yao Li gauges the impact of different kinds of protests on regime legitimacy. Differentiating between what she calls regime engaging and regime threatening protests, she shows that - despite tumultuous change and widespread protests - the Chinese regime has remained stable because most protests have stayed on the regime-engaging side of the continuum. Her innovative framework not only helps us better understand the dynamics of protest in China and the resiliency of the Chinese regime, but it also provides a template for investigating popular political contention in other authoritarian regimes.' Joel Andreas, The Johns Hopkins University 'Playing by the Informal Rules makes a compelling case that protest in contemporary China is not a sign of imminent democratization, but rather of authoritarian consolidation. Drawing on impressive original data, Yao Li shows that both protesters and the regime conform to two informal rules: self-censored resistance and informal tolerance. Most protests are regime-engaging, rather than regime-threatening; and the government, despite its vast repressive capacity, systematically under-enforces the law, tolerating such protest despite its illegality. The result is to channel discontent and facilitate bargaining - not unlike social movement in Western democracies. Playing by the Informal Rules makes an important contributing to our understanding of authoritarian durability in China, highlighting its informal institutional bases. In my view, the book is a model for how to study China as an authoritarian regime, per se, rather than a would-be democracy.' Steven Levitsky, Harvard University 'In a remarkably wide-ranging book that examines both regime-engaging and regime-threatening protest, Yao Li reveals how informal norms shape contention and the Chinese government's response to it. In her telling, it's the unwritten rules that determine which protesters engage in self-censorship and encounter tolerance and which act in unruly ways and are subject to unlawful repression. That most norms in today's China fall on the accommodating side of the ledger offers us a fresh, new perspective on why high levels of contention and regime durability may be more compatible than is often thought.'
