The Year After the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30, by Naomi W. Cohen
Riot and Response
The Year After the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30.
by Naomi W. Cohen.
Wayne State University Press. 204 pp. $24.95.
Some 130 Jews, including eight Americans, are slaughtered during a week of Arab rioting in Palestine. In both Britain and the United States, amid dire predictions about the bleak future of a Jewish homeland, the riots are blamed on unsatisfied Arab political and economic grievances. As the State Department looks on benignly, the British embark upon a policy of placating the Arabs by breaking commitments made to the Jews. American Jewry, divided and disorganized, and apprehensive over homegrown anti-Semitism, offers a disjointed and ineffectual response to British actions and American inaction. Some American Jews even abandon the goal of a Jewish national home and instead advocate a binational solution in Palestine.
Although these events evoke certain contemporary parallels, they in fact occurred between August 1929 and October 1930. How Americans and particularly how American Jews responded to the Arab riots of those years is the focus of Naomi Cohen's absorbing and timely new book, The Year After the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30.
Mrs. Cohen, a longtime professor at Hunter College and the author of a number of important studies in 20th-century American Jewish history, begins by providing a thumbnail sketch of the key developments of the period. She notes that while the immediate cause for the disturbances was Arab anger at Jews praying at the Western Wall, the riots in fact arose after a long period of Arab discontent. They underscored the contradictory nature of Britain's pledge to Jews and Arabs: was Palestine to be the Jewish national home, or was its Arab majority to be granted self-rule? After the riots, ostensibly to examine their root causes but in reality to whitewash British and Arab responsibility, the British government appointed a commission of inquiry. Its report, issued at the end of March 1930, duly traced the events to Arab political and economic frustration, supposedly caused by Jewish immigration and unfair economic advantage in Palestine.
A second commission of inquiry, appointed to investigate economic conditions in Palestine, recommended in October 1930 that Jewish immigration be curbed. Simultaneously with the publication of this report, the British government issued a white paper endorsing the commission's findings and establishing limits on Jewish immigration and land settlements. It is with this milestone that Mrs. Cohen concludes her study. In a brief postscript she explains that although the British subsequently retreated somewhat in the face of Jewish protests, in the long run policy did not really change.
When it comes to American responses to the riots, her real subject, Mrs. Cohen focuses first on the State Department—at that time, as she writes, a small, elitist institution under strong Protestant missionary influence and permeated by anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Even though there were several Americans among those who died in the riots, and even though American Jews and a number of Congressmen were urging the Department to act, it refused to take up the Zionists' case. Instead, inclining toward the British and Arab positions, the Department attributed the Arab riots to Jewish provocation. The only thing restraining the Department from offering even greater support for British policies and Arab goals was a directive that the United States avoid being drawn into the dispute. Whatever American pressure on the British might or might not have accomplished, the absence of such pressure certainly bolstered Britain's anti-Zionist policies.
Mrs. Cohen proceeds to examine the response to the riots of American Jewry, a response which was eagerly attended to by Jews around the world, including in Palestine itself. That response was incoherent and for the most part ineffectual, hamstrung by internal disunity and by the dearth of non-Jewish support. American Jews were divided between a non-Zionist majority and a Zionist minority which was itself fragmented by personal and interorganizational disputes. Prominent Zionists like Louis Brandeis remained aloof from the organized movement, in part because of an internal power struggle.
The Zionist Organization of America saw the riots as an opportunity to bolster its plummeting membership; non-Zionists in the Jewish Agency saw an opportunity to "moderate" Zionist goals. Some American Jewish leaders, like the philanthropist Felix Warburg, believing that a Jewish majority in Palestine was unattainable, felt that Jewish interests in Palestine would be best served by improving economic conditions for all the inhabitants of Palestine. Judah Magnes, an American Jew who was chancellor of the Hebrew University and an ally of Warburg, called for a binational state in Palestine, thus legitimating and strengthening Jewish and non-Jewish opposition to a Jewish homeland. And so forth.
Both the British and the American governments paid close attention to the response of the general American public to the riots. In the immediate aftermath of the events there was in fact a great deal of public sympathy for the Zionist cause. But, partly as a consequence of the inadequate and uncoordinated reaction of organized Jewry, public perceptions soon changed; the Arab rioters came to be viewed as the underdogs, the Zionists as anti-democratic militarists. Palestine Jewry was depicted in the press as an artificial entity, reliant for survival on help from co-religionists abroad. Zionists soon found themselves forced to defend once again the very concept of a Jewish national home.
The history which Mrs. Cohen recounts is a depressing one. She does not exaggerate the significance of the 1929 riots or the importance of American reactions. In this period, American Jews were not as yet the acknowledged center of the Diaspora, and the riots themselves were not, in and of themselves, an irreversible turning point in the Jewish struggle for Palestine. But they did, she shows, provide a standard against which later developments could be measured. In hindsight, both the antagonism of the State Department and the muted response of American Jewry presaged reactions by both parties a decade later to British policy in Palestine and to the Nazi campaign against the Jews.
Although the utility of counter-factual history is generally limited, one cannot read Mrs. Cohen's book without reflecting on what might have been had American Jewry only acted differently. Of course one cannot unequivocally assert that a united and unified community would have prevailed against the combined opposition of the British government, the State Department, Protestant missionaries, the press, and a social atmosphere tinged with anti-Semitism. And, certainly, one cannot derive summary judgments of American Jewry's actions in the late 20's from a post-Holocaust, post-1948 perspective. All that being said, however, Mrs. Cohen is justly critical of the American Jewish community, and leaves little doubt that a more concerted effort would have ameliorated British policy to some extent, and perhaps have made it possible in later years for a certain number of Jews fleeing the Nazis to have gained refuge in Palestine.
Beyond all of this, what makes Mrs. Cohen's book much more than simply an extremely interesting historical study is the subject's continuing relevance to events in today's Middle East. For one thing, it offers a useful reminder of the deep-seated roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Without belaboring the analogy between the riots of 1929 and the current disturbances in what was formerly mandatory Palestine, one need simply note the continuing portrayal of Zionism as the obstacle to Arab self-determination in Palestine and the fact that many people—both Arab and non-Arab—continue to disparage and subvert the very notion of a Jewish state.
In the nearly six decades since the riots, much in the United States has of course changed. American society is much more open and pluralistic; anti-Semitism as a constraint upon Jewish activism has diminished. Whatever the shortcomings of today's State Department, its views on the Middle East are clearly not comparable with those held during the 1920's, 30's, and 40's. And while internal divisions and feuds among American Jews have hardly vanished, the battle for Jewish hearts and minds has been won by the Zionists.
Some things have changed less, however. The demographic arguments for a Palestinian Arab state and predictions about such a state's presumed democratic nature continue to resonate, as do assertions about the supposed demographic problems facing the Zionist state. Protestant antipathy toward Zionism persists in some quarters, albeit in a different form. A number of people, including some Jews, are prepared to sacrifice Jewish "parochial" nationalism on the altar of universal justice. And Jewish critics of Israel are still used to legitimate criticisms of Israel by others. In some respects, the position of Zionism has even regressed: the same international organization which in the late 40's helped to legitimate Zionism now works to delegitimate it. And anti-Semitism has once again found a semi-respectable cover in anti-Zionism.
With this book, therefore, Naomi Cohen has performed a notable service. Apart from its great merit as a work of historical reconstruction, The Year After the Riots is a hauntingly resonant reminder of the nature and the intensity of the test to which the organized American Jewish community has been repeatedly put in this century, and which it has on more than one occasion tragically failed to meet.

After producing the string arrangements on ex-Sudanese war child Emmanuel Jal's "We Want Peace" charity single, music icon Peter Gabriel has joined a host of other celebrity names in raising awareness to ensure the Sudanese referendum on Sunday January 9th remains a peaceful affair.
"I have been horrified at the reports of the potential for civil war in the Sudan after the election," says Gabriel. "Emmanuel Jal is an inspiring and charismatic young musician and, considering most of the fighting in these wars is actually carried out by young people, I believe Emmanuel's impassioned campaign for peace will be much more likely to reach them."
Alongside Peter Gabriel, Jal has gathered further support from the likes of George Clooney, Alicia Keys, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter and Richard Branson, all of whom appear in the music video for 'We Want Peace', which was directed by Gabriel's daughter, Anna Gabriel. Annie Lennox and are also supporting Emmanuel's "We Want Peace" campaign via Twitter and Facebook.
Says Emmanuel Jal, "It is a simple concept. If people around the world don't know what is happening in Sudan, their governments will not feel compelled to concern themselves, either. This Sunday, a referendum will take place in my country that will almost inevitably be controversial, causing anything from tension to wide-scale war and genocide… Had the world known that 6 million Jews would die during the Second World War then they would have done something about it. We need to shine as bright a light as possible on Sudan in the coming days so that the impending evil of war simply cannot prevail."

Cannon Ball Riders
Today I was fortunate enough to live within 15 miles of the Cannon Ball route. The first few bikes were passing at 15 to 30 minutes intervals. I fell in behind a 1929 Harley being guarded by a gentleman on a Vstrom. The smell of hot oil and a trace of exhaust smoke marked the Harley's passage. Going up 5,000 foot Bly Mountain, the Harley maintained 45 MPH. Going downhill the rider was hitting speeds that generated a big grin on MY face. Awesome.
At the Day's Inn in Klamath Falls, the riders became Ambassadors for motorcycling. They answered questions, posed for photographs and were very gracious to all. It was an honor to see and meet so many gentlemen.
Doug on the venerable #88 was well behind most of the riders, BUT was moving under his own power. The temperature was mid-eighties along today's route. Doug looked hot. The look on his face was full of determination. He certainly hasn't allowed the set backs he has encountered , to prevent him from reaching his personal goals. Ride on Doug!

Data Smog
Surviving the Information Glut
by David Shenk
"David Shenk has written a brilliant confirmation
of the fact that information is neither knowledge
nor wisdom, and that too much data can dull the
One should read this splendid book very soon, while
the mind is still intact."
—Roger Rosenblatt
Media scholar David Shenk launches a trenchant and informed critique of the impact of Data Smog—information overload—on individual well-being and our society as a whole. Picking up where Silicon Snake Oil and The Gutenberg Elegies left off, Shenk skillfully explodes the rosy myths of the technological revolution, points the way toward a saner and more meaningful future, and offers the most convincing and thorough rebuttal yet of the overhyping of the Information Age.
©1997 HarperCollins Publishers
More praise for Data Smog
"DATA SMOG is an indispensable guide to the big picture of technology's cultural impact."
—The New York Times
"Shenk has written a concise, insightful and welcome critique of the communications world we have created."
—The Chicago Tribune
"DATA SMOG is the *Silent Spring* for the Digital Age."
—The Boston Globe
"A must-read for technophiles and neo-Luddites alike."
—The New York Post
"Data Smog is a fascinating and important book...go and get yourself a copy. Unplug the phone, turn off the TV, and spend a few hours receiving data at a more human speed."
—Omni Magazine Online
"Stunningly eloquent."
—PC Magazine Online
"A valuable book....If everyone who isn't yet online read 'Data Smog' before joining America Online or getting Net access, their lives -- and the Net itself -- would have a much better shot at staying sane."
—Salon (salonmag.com)
"Required reading for anyone in the Internet news business."
—- Editor & Publisher Interactive
"Over the past 150 years, humanity solved the problem of information scarcity. In solving it, we created the problem of information glut, incoherence and meaninglessness. David Shenk's brilliant book names the problem, describes it, explains it and—God bless him—offers us help in coping with it."
—Neil Postman, author, Technopoly and Amusing Ourselves to Death
"Data Smog is quite wonderful...a smart warning by a savvy aficionado of cyber-culture to be wary of too much of a good thing."
—Orville Schell, Dean, Graduate School of Journalism, University of California at Berkeley
"This book breaks new ground. Here you will find a public ethic for an era of too-much information, delivered in a succinct and heroically civil style that puts to shame an entire shelf of books on the coming media environment. Shenk is a citizen writing for other beleaguered citizens...Data Smog is really a book about democracy and what it will take to keep that troubled idea alive and breathing in years ahead."
—Jay Rosen, Director, Project on Public Life and the Press, New York University
"This book is an oxygen mask. Take it along when you need to breathe. This careful, informed, and passionate argument should take the stuffing right out of the cheerleaders of the (indiscriminate) Information Age."
—Andrei Codrescu, commentator, National Public Radio
"Data Smog offers a rare combination of extensive research, clear thinking, lucid writing, and valuable advice. It's a must for anybody feeling overwhelmed but underserved by today's information sources."

You want to save more for retirement, but life and its expenses show no sign of slowing down, and you're not sure where you'll find the extra cash. You may be surprised to learn how much "hidden" money is available once you begin tracking spending.
According to a 2012 national omnibus survey commissioned by Edward Jones, about one-third of Canadians do not keep track of their spending. The survey found that 38.5 percent of the remaining respondents track every penny and about 30 percent at least monitor fixed expenses, such as utilities, car payments, housing costs, and similar essentials.
It's no surprise young adults (ages 18-34) are least likely to track their spending, while those above age 65 are most likely.
An interesting survey result, though, shows those earning below $40,000 annually and those making above $100,000 a year are both more likely to track expenses. This suggests good money management habits, such as tracking spending, are important regardless of wealth or income levels.
About one-third of Canadians do not keep track of their spending.
So what difference does it make to know how much you spend on discretionary items like lattes, clothing, and vacations? If you add them up over the course of a year, you will see small choices you make with money can affect your ability to reach goals for later years.
Try tracking your spending for a while, but don't stress about money mistakes that have already happened. Once you have a fix on your spending, focus your attention instead on how you will spend going forward.
For example, estimate every expense you expect over the next year, from your morning coffee to groceries to clothes to travel. Break those totals down to monthly amounts and start thinking about which expenses you can trim or eliminate. For example:
• Buy online versions of magazines, which may be cheaper than print versions.
• Consider downgrading your cable subscription.
• Opt for a less-expensive cellphone package, or get a family plan that shares minutes.
• Switch to a slower Internet broadband speed at home.
• Bring lunch to work versus buying lunch each day.
• Choose coffee over the latte.
Right away, you may see opportunities to save $50 or more per week. That's at least $200 a month and, if you kick in a little more, you are well on your way to contributing sizeably toward that RRSP or TFSA.
Start thinking about which expenses you can trim or eliminate.
Worried you will forget to do it and fall out of the savings habit? Set up a pre-authorized payment into your RRSP or TFSA, or both, on a weekly or monthly basis. You likely won't even miss that $50 a week and will be surprised to see how quickly it may accumulate.
Armed with this knowledge of where your money is flowing, you can begin working with your Edward Jones advisor to take small steps to greater savings by identifying how you can redirect your discretionary cash to fund your future retirement or other life goals.

Silence is golden, at least for scammers. Say nothing and their bilking can continue until you and others are bled dry. Speak up and it can stop. Take, for example, another impressive yet little-publicized bust recently announced by the Federal Trade Commission. It ended a telemarketing scheme believed to have scammed more than $20 million from tens of thousands of older Americans. The agency alleges that for 31 months, a network of scammers in the U.S. and Canada cold-called retirement-age Americans …

As the year closes, leading online security vendors are looking into their crystal balls – or rather, reviewing recent trends of trickery – to predict the top cyber scams of 2014. Some notables worth a mention: TVs watching you. Many traditionally "dumb" devices are getting "smarter" – televisions, gaming systems and even baby monitors are being connected to the Internet and often contain cameras or microphones. So, many cybercops predict them to be a magnet for attack, such as remote spying. …

It's always a good idea to back up your computer files. But now, it's a great idea.

UTSA LeaderShape Institute provides new resources for students
(May 23, 2014) -- The UTSA Student Leadership Center hosted the fourth annual UTSA session of the LeaderShape Institute May 11-16. Sixty-six UTSA students spent the week learning to lead with integrity at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels.
The students were immersed in the developmental experience by gaining tools and resources to help them transform the world. Throughout the six days, the students were tasked with discovering where their true passion lies and developing their vision for positive change.
Each student developed an action plan, or blueprint, to outline how he or she would reach their goals. While becoming agents of change, the students discovered their personal leadership philosophy based on how their individual strengths and experiences can benefit the entire community.
Guiding the students throughout the event were their family cluster facilitators, which included Eliot Howard, associate director of student leadership development; Vincent Perez, graduate assistant for the Student Center for Community Engagement and Inclusion; Emma Hashman, student development specialist for the Tomas Rivera Center;Christa Winkler, coordinator for student conduct and community standards; and Jonathan Bange, assistant director of Campus Recreation at the Downtown Campus.
The students did much of their vision work within their family clusters, which consisted of 13 or 14 students per cluster. During the six days, the cluster facilitators and their family clusters grew close and became a place full of support and encouragement.
On May 13, the evening's events started with welcoming remarks by UTSA President Ricardo Romo. The students then participated in a guest leader panel discussion involving San Antonio community leaders.
The guest panel, hosted by Carol Gonzalez, UTSA student ombudsperson, included Scott Ackerson, vice president for strategic relationships at Haven for Hope; Roy Schroer, vice president of Human Resources at Union Pacific; Manny Longoria '97, owner and agent for Nationwide Insurance; Danny Zimmermann '01, principal engineer at Cleary Zimmermann Engineers; and Andrea Hardeman, talent acquisition manager at Nationwide Insurance.
UTSA administrators also visited with students during the program including Sam Gonzales, vice president for student affairs; Kevin Price, associate vice president and dean of students; and Kristi Meyer, director of the Top Scholars program.
