September 22 2011
JTA launches its online digital news
archive, for the first time making
widely available on the Internet more
than 90 years of English-language
Jewish reporting.
In a controversy over the Israel
positions of Jewish playwright Tony
Kushner, the City University of New
York first cancels, then reinstates,
plans to grant Kushner an honorary
degree.
Capping more than three decades
of legal drama, a Munich court rules
that former Ohio autoworker John
Demjanjuk, 91, was a Nazi war crimi-
nal.
Thousands of Arabs storm Israel's
borders from Syria, Lebanon and else-
where to mark the Nakba — the anni-
versary of the "catastrophe" of Israel's
founding. Caught unprepared, Israeli
forces hold the crowds back and more
than a dozen Arabs are killed.
The arrest of Dominique Strauss-
Kahn in New York on sexual assault
charges represents a particularly harsh
blow for many in France's Jewish com-
munity. Law enforcement officials
would later report that major ques-
tions have emerged about the cred-
ibility of his accuser, but not before he
resigns his post at the International
Monetary Fund. His planned candi-
dacy for the French presidency is con-
sidered dead.
San Francisco approves a ballot
measure for November to outlaw
circumcision of minors in the city. A
judge later strikes the ban from the
ballot, saying the city has no authority
to ban circumcision.
President Obama delivers a major
speech on Mideast policy in which he
states that Israeli-Palestinian nego-
tiations should be based upon "1967
lines with mutually agreed swaps."
The formulation sparks a fiery debate
over whether the president was simply
reiterating longtime U.S. policy or
pressuring Israel. Soon after, the presi-
dent holds a tense news conference
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. Both leaders speak to
thousands of pro-Israel activists at the
annual AIPAC policy conference. Later,
Netanyahu receives multiple ovations
during remarks to a joint session of
Congress.
After a deadly tornado strikes
Joplin, Mo., the Jewish community
sends help.
In the Chasidic village of New
Square, N.Y., an arson attack that
leaves a Jewish man severely burned
raises questions about religious vio-
lence in the name of fealty to a rebbe.
Anthony Weiner, is engulfed in scandal
over lying about illicit messages sent
on Twitter. Eventually he resigns.
Yale University shutters its Initiative
for the Interdisciplinary Study of
Anti-Semitism, saying it failed to
meet certain academic criteria. Critics,
however, claim the program was killed
for shining a light on Muslim anti-
Semitism.
Cottage cheese, a national staple
in Israel that has seen its price ris-
ing steadily, becomes the focus of
a consumer revolt and a symbol of
frustration with the high cost of living
in the Jewish state. Later, the protests
broaden and focus on the shortage of
affordable housing in the country, with
mass demonstrations and tent cities
popping up in Tel Aviv and elsewhere.
July
The lower house of the Dutch parlia-
ment passes a ban on kosher slaughter,
spurred on by the unlikely conver-
gence between animal rights activists
and the country's far-right, anti-Mus-
lim movement.
After a flotilla of ships to Gaza
fails to launch from Greece, protest-
ers announce a planned "fly-in" to
Israel to protest its treatment of the
Palestinians.
Jewish communities in New York
and Houston are rocked, respectively,
by the murder of 8-year-old Leiby
Kletzky, who was abducted walking
home from summer day camp in
Borough Park, Brooklyn, and a car
crash that instantly killed Josh and
Robin Berry, 41 and 40, and left two of
their three children paralyzed from the
waist down.
For the first time since 1945, the
Maccabi Games — the so-called
Jewish Olympics in Europe — are
held in a German-speaking country.
Maccabi officials said the crowd made
up the largest gathering of Jews in
Vienna since the Holocaust.
Israel passes a law that penalizes
those seeking to boycott Israel or West
Bank Jewish settlements. American
Jewish groups slam the law as undem-
ocratic.
As media mogul Ruport Murdoch's
News of the World is engulfed in a
phone-hacking scandal and shuts
down, some Jews worry that a pro-
Israel voice in the media will be
muted.
British Jewish singer Amy
Winehouse, 27, dies.
Anders Behring Breivik, a
Norwegian anti-Muslim extremist
who wrote a manifesto expressing
sympathy for Israel's plight, bombs a
government building in Oslo and goes
on a killing spree on the nearby island
of Utoya, killing 77. I
