Urgently Palestinians need leaders of high caliber
Did anyone know? Did Western media care?
No. Not until reports appeared that Jewish community leaders cancelled a meeting with him after intervention by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office and Israel's embassy in London, and Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi condemned the move as “seeking to suppress and manipulate Jewish public opinion.”
It was also typical of Netanyahu's “persistent efforts” to prevent dialogue, she said, according to the Palestinian Ma'an news agency.
Even then, Western media were not much interested. I put it to the Palestinian ambassador in London, Professor Manuel Hassassian, that such a blunder by Israel was a gift to any alert public relations/public affairs team. Why didn't the Palestinian Authority seize it? Hassassian denied the Palestinians asked to meet with the Jewish community.
It seems odd that Ashrawi, a shrewd, well respected politician and close colleague of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, could have got it wrong. Or indeed the normally reliable Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which reported that Hassassian himself, together with British diplomats, had pushed for Jewish leaders to meet with Abbas.
A Great Time at the NY International Gift Fair! - Jewish Gift Place
The New York International Gift Fair at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in NYC is AWESOME! It is an incredible, unique opportunity to meet thousands of vendors. Although I specifically look for handmade Judaica, there are millions of products in the following categories:
General Gift Tabletop & Housewares Accent on Design Baby & Child Handmade Global Design At Home Featuring Home Textiles Personal Accessories Handmade Designer MakerI visited the NYIGF on Sunday, January 29, 2012, but first I have to brag about how fast I got to Manhattan. I left my house at 10:15 am and walked into Javits at 11:05, which was just amazing! I don’t think that has ever happened before or ever will again.
Although I love this show and will probably never miss it, the number of Judaica artists that come to this show is limited and it is a challenge to find new artists who make things that I love. I am very appreciative that I get contacted by artists at least once a week, so hopefully I will always be finding new artists to add to the site. At this show, I discovered three new artists, and I am very excited about showing you their pieces....
The NY International Gift Fair This Weekend! - Jewish Gift Place
Really crystallized. Prior to attending this show, I really didn’t have much of a clue how to connect with people who made and sold Judaica. After many Google searches, I hooked up with one vendor who made jewelry and Judaica that I liked, but I found it really difficult to find products to sell that I loved. I didn’t even know that gift fairs even existed for buyers only. Somehow, I found out about the NY International Gift Fair. Coincidentally, I discovered the NYIGF the week it was in town in January 2007. It all seemed very rushed to me. I found out about it, it was in town for another few days, then it wouldn’t be back again until August. I didn’t think I was at the point in developing my website and business to run out and start buying products to sell, but my husband said, “GO!” So I went. And I was awed.
Besides never being in such a massive space as Jacob Javits before, and never being at a convention before, I had never seen so many high quality craftspeople in one space. Prior to this trip, I had been to many arts & crafts fairs with maybe 50 vendors. I’m just guessing, but I think there were over 800 handmade crafts vendors, and that’s not including all the other gift categories that were going on at the same time. Maybe in total there are 3000+ vendors – probably even more.
