Tikun Olam : New Israel Fund 'Jewish Homeland' Controversy

New Israel Fund 'Jewish Homeland' Controversy

I posted here about the controversy concerning NIF's new guidelines as reported by Nathan Guttman in The Forward.  He reported that the group would require grantees to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish homeland.  On that basis, I wrote a post harshly critical of what I perceived as a one-sided set of rules which would discriminate

Is Elie Wiesel a perjurer?

 




Is Elie Wiesel a perjurer?
Elie Wiesel stated under oath while giving testimony in the trial of Eric Hunt in San Francisco, California in July 2008 that the number A7713 was tattooed on his left arm. (see Where is the Tattoo? on this site)

Wiesel should have been asked to show his tattoo to the court at that time, but he wasn't. This was a failure of the defense, for sure. But obviously, at that time, Mr. Hunt, the defendant, was not questioning whether Elie Wiesel had been an inmate of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Since then, Mr. Hunt and others have uncovered video photography of Wiesel's bare left arm from all angles, leaving no reasonable doubt that no tattoo is there. Backing up this conclusion is the fact that Wiesel has also famously refused to ever show his tattoo when requested to do so. For those who will retaliate that Wiesel may have had the tattoo removed, he said as late as March 25, 2010 that he still had the number A7713 on his arm. (see Where is the Tattoo?)

From this, the average man on the street would probably agree that Elie Wiesel has committed perjury (a criminal offense) if he does not indeed have the number tattooed on his arm. The law, according to http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/p032.htm, says:
When a person, having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the U.S. authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true;

In order for a person to be found guilty of perjury the government must prove: the person testified under oath before [e.g., the grand jury]; at least one particular statement was false; and the person knew at the time the testimony was false.

However, in practice, the question of materiality is crucial. Perjury is defined at Criminal-law.freeadvice.com as:the "willful and corrupt taking of a false oath in regard to a material matter in a judicial proceeding." It is sometimes called "lying under oath;" that is, deliberately telling a lie in a courtroom proceeding after having taken an oath to tell the truth. It is important that the false statement be material to the case at hand—that it could affect the outcome of the case. It is not considered perjury, for example, to lie about your age, unless your age is a key factor in proving the case.

EAIF: The Multicultural Virtue of the African Medical Brain Drain

 

Aug. 30, 2010


From the desk of James Joseph Sanchez, PhD:

I will admit my principle concern is not Africa. However, I don't wish the Africans ill (although I hardly favor African regimes like Zimbabwe that slaughter my kin). Although it probably will not happen, a prosperous and peaceful Africa would generate less emigrants to my homelands.

However, the advocates of multiculturalism do not seem to have my laissez faire approach to Africa. Here a British multiculturalist (a professor to be sure) tries to argue that draining all the doctors and nurses out of Africa to be low-cost workers in the National Health Service in Britain somehow benefits Africa.

Multiculturalism is genocide.

James Joseph Sanchez, PhD
President, EAIF


====================
(abstract)


Andrew Lawrence.

"'Circular Migration' and the Potential to Improve Health Outcomes; UK Policymakers in Separate Branches of Government Need to Develop Creative Connections Among Migration, Health and Development Policy; Open and Free Recruitment Regimes That Maintain High Standards of Transparency and Accountability Provide Incentive Structures for Africans Students", in PPR-Public Policy Research, March-May 2010. pp. 49-54.

There is a consensus [sic] in Britiain that migration from the Third World (especially African) and Muslim countries is an almost pure benefit to Britain. Now, the British must realize that the National Health service (NHS) is utterly dependent upon Third World, immigrant health workers. Britain must also provide for easy two way travel by these health professionals between Britain and their homelands: Britain would "triple win" from such an opening of the border. 

At the same time, Africa has a severe shortage of health professionals. Compared to UK, Canada and Australia, South Africa has one-third the per capita physicians, Malawi has one-fortieth of the physicians South Africa has. The regional AIDS crisis both decimates the ranks of physicians and drives them to more pleasant surroundings. For these reasons, a recent Lancet editorial declared the active recruiting of health professionals in Africa to work in Britain to be a "crime". This racist point of view "marginalizes the agency of the migrant workers themselves". In fact, accelerating the brain drain from the African medical community benefits Africa. 

The most recent study of health worker migration shows that as of 2000, the UK was the principle receiving country for physicians born in Botswana (40% of overseas physicians, 5% of total), Malawi (66% overseas, 40% total), South Africa (45% overseas, 10% total), Tanzania (55% overseas, 28% total), and Zambia (55% overseas, 33% total). UK was also the principle receiving country for nurses in all these countries plus Nigeria and Zimbabwe (75% of  overseas, 20% of total). 

"Circular migration", in which African health professionals migrate freely between UN hospitals and sister hospitals in Africa, even if it involves only a microsciopic rate of repatriation, would immensely benefit health systems in Africa, especially in small countries with high rates of health professional migration to the UK, such as Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The UK could also finance other, unspecified incentives.
