SWC Calls On US Foreign Relations Committees To Close UNRWA Permanently; End Refugee Welfare State and Empower Palestinian Peace Seekers to Oversee Education
LOS ANGELES, California, Dec. 2 -- The Simon Wiesenthal Centre issued the following news:
The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) is calling on the US Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees to permanently close the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) following proof that UNRWA schools have been used to launch missiles against Israeli civilians, store weapons, and that one UNRWA employee held an Israeli hostage for 50 days in his home.

LOS ANGELES, California, Dec. 2 -- The Simon Wiesenthal Centre issued the following news:
The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) is calling on the US Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees to permanently close the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) following proof that UNRWA schools have been used to launch missiles against Israeli civilians, store weapons, and that one UNRWA employee held an Israeli hostage for 50 days in his home.
In letters to the Foreign Relations Committees, the SWC wrote:
* Despite protestations that UNRWA's educational curriculum is there to promote peace,the opposite is true. Children are taught to revere mass murdering terrorists, the legitimacy and even the existence of the Jewish state is ignored or denied. And worst of all the right of return--another way of expressing the goal of erasing Israel is a central theme in classrooms.
* UNRWA, which teaches much of the young Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, has contributed to the brainwashing of students, denying the legitimacy of their Jewish neighbors. These students who spend summers receiving military training grow up with one goal: Kill Israelis and remove them from the land of Israel.
* A few days ago, AWRAD - a research and consulting firm based in the Palestinian Authority's capital of Ramallah - surveyed the opinions of 668 residents across the West Bank and Gaza during the fourth week of the war in face-to-face interviews conducted online. In its most revealing find, 85% of those polled support the "October 7 attacks" either strongly or at least somewhat.
SWC urges that:
* The US to take the lead to close UNRWA and for legitimate refugees to be dealt with by the UN High Commissioner on Refugees
* The UN to stop bestowing refugee status to Palestinians from generation to generation
* Funds for schools and education should go directly to the Palestinian people
* The Foreign Relations Committee convene and seek bipartisan support to change the Palestinian educational system from a paradigm of hate and denial to one of hope, integrity, and reconciliation
This is not a time to expand UNRWA but to shut it and its terrorist-supporting welfare state once and for all. In the future, Palestinians seeking peace must oversee and control the education of their young people.

He earned a master's degree in sociology with an emphasis in social psychology from California State University, Long Beach, an MPhilin sociology with an emphasis in statistics from New York University, and finally his doctorate in family social science at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. He also completed post-doctoral training in ethnography, geostatistics (GIS), spatial demography, and epidemiology at Pennsylvania State University, and earned academic certificates in hierarchical linear modeling and advanced structural equation modeling from the University of Texas at Austin.
His academic background came around full circle as he was later taught courses in basic and advanced statistics, statistical programming, advanced research methods, GIS, and a myriad of sociology courses.
Dr. Webb's professional tenure was rather expansive as well. His professorship included City University of New York (CUNY), Bloomfield College, New York University, Kansas State University, and Pennsylvania State University. Prior to joining the University of the Incarnate Word as vice president for academic affairs & provost, he was dean and professor in the College of Health and Human Development at California State University, Northridge.
He was the 2019 recipient of the NCFR Marie F. Peters Award, which recognizes distinguished scholars, researchers, and practitioners who have made significant contributions to the area of ethnic minority families. He also received several awards including five distinct awards for teaching, mentoring, and his service to students. He was previously California State Scholar, California State Fellow, and University of Minnesota, Waller Fellow. He served on more than 75 master's theses and over 25 dissertation committees.
Dr. Webb was a distinguished speaker and illustrious professor. He was a prolific author, published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles in professional journals, numerous book chapters and book reviews, as well as presenting his research at both the national and international levels. He was PI and co-PI on several grant-funded projects--he has garnered more than $7 million dollars in his personal grant portfolio as PI and has participated in at least $20 million dollars of funded research activity in other roles.
His membership to NCFR included chair, and secretary/treasurer of the Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Families Section, associate editor of Journal of Marriage and Family, reviewer for Family Relations, as well as presenting severally at NCFR annual conferences.
A memorial service was held for Dr. Webb at the University of Incarnate Word. Here is the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ETsQyjuDkI) of that service.
Dr. Webb recorded this video (https://youtu.be/heOiHcimXAs?si=t4ys7TqMSoJ-1-lC) in 2010 speaking about how being part of "the NCFR family" made a significant impact throughout his career.

LOS ANGELES, California, Dec. 2 -- The International Medical Corps issued the following news on Nov. 30, 2023:
A leader in emergency humanitarian response, as well as healthcare development and training in fragile and conflict-affected states, International Medical Corps will present on the health impacts of climate change at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), which will be held November 30-December 12 in Dubai, UAE.
The global first responder's representatives at COP28 will include Dr. Ons Al Khadra, Director of MENA and GCC Affairs, and Paul Knox Clarke, Climate Consultant.The organization also has a range of subject-matter experts available to speak with the media.
* On Sunday, December 3--COP's first-ever Day of Health--at 9:00-10:00 a.m. local time, Dr. Ons Al Khadra will participate in a panel at the UNOPS Pavilion in the Blue Zone titled, "Climate-related Challenges Affecting Health in Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings: Emerging Responses to Build Resilience."
* On Tuesday, December 5, at 5:30-6:30 p.m., Paul Knox Clarke will participate in a panel at the Mobility Pavilion in the Blue Zone titled, "Climate Crossroads: Health, Displacement and Forced Migration in the Shadow of Conflict."
* On Wednesday, December 6, at 10:00-11:30 a.m., Paul Knox Clarke will participate in a panel at the Humanitarian Pavilion in the Green Zone titled, "Climate-related Healthcare in Fragile and Conflict-affected States: Emerging Challenges and Responses."
International Medical Corps is proud to endorse the COP28 Declaration on Climate Relief, Recovery and Peace, which outlines the steps the global community must take to address the climate crisis by promoting resilience in fragile and conflict-affected states, improving evidence, learning and practice, and building stronger partnerships to enable more effective collaboration.
The global humanitarian organization is also pleased that its Climate Change Innovation Fund is part of the COP28 Package of Solutions. The fund supports the aims of the COP28 Declaration by:
* making investments in climate adaptation and resilience programs;
* providing training and capacity building for affected governments and communities;
* supporting granular and integrated risk assessments and risk mapping; and
* benefitting local communities affected by climate change by developing and sharing knowledge on risk mitigation practices and management, and lessons learned about how to work more effectively in crisis settings.
Through the Fund, International Medical Corps is incorporating climate-related education into its community health work across a number of countries, rehabilitating health and water infrastructure that has been destroyed in climate-related disasters, and designing infrastructure that is more resilient to extreme heat. It is currently implementing these initiatives in Mali and Zimbabwe, and will be launching initiatives in Pakistan and Somalia early next year.
International Medical Corps will implement fund-supported projects with local partners and in close collaboration with national and local authorities, community members, and international, national and local non-governmental organizations.
In its work to improve resilience in low-resource environments, which spans nearly four decades, International Medical Corps focuses on two significant areas: training and capacity strengthening. Working with ministries of health and local partners, International Medical Corps trains health workers to better treat chronic conditions, prevent infectious disease outbreaks through improved hygiene and sanitation practices, detect and treat early signs of malnutrition and provide other vital interventions.
The organization also strengthens health systems by focusing on education, infrastructure and technology. For example, after unprecedented flooding in Pakistan destroyed critical infrastructure last year, International Medical Corps supported a mobile, solar-powered reverse-osmosis plant that traveled across Sindh province, converting floodwater into safe drinking water.
Last year alone, 32.6 million people fled natural disasters, compounding the impact of existing humanitarian crises. Over the next 30 years, 1.2 billion people could be displaced by climate change. No matter what happens, International Medical Corps will continue to serve vulnerable communities worldwide, working to mitigate risk, adapt its programming and find innovative solutions as the climate crisis evolves.
The organization has recently published two useful resources on climate change and its effect on the humanitarian sector: International Medical Corps and the Threat of Climate Change: Our Response and a Call to Action, and Evidence Report: Impact of Climate Change.

Everytown for Gun Safety: CDC Data Sheds Light on Alarming Rise in Gun Suicides Across the Country, Disporportionate Impact on Communities of Color

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (TNSres) -- Everytown for Gun Safety issued the following news release on Nov. 30, 2023:
Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, highlighting the CDC's data on the troubling - and persistent - rise in suicide rates across the country. The New York Times also released an analysis this afternoon examining the data and the impact of gun suicide on communities across the country. The CDC's data shows that the annual firearm suicide rate in the United States increased approximately 11% from 2019 to 2022--the highestdocumented level since at least 1968.
According to the CDC's report, while gun suicide rates increased for all racial and ethnic groups from 2019 to 2022, certain groups experienced drastically higher increases in gun suicide. The single largest increase was experienced by the American Indian and Alaska Native community who saw a 66% increase, followed by the Black community that saw a 42% increase and the Latinx community that experienced a 28% increase.
Nearly six out of every 10 gun deaths in the US are suicides, averaging 68 people dying by gun suicide every day. The CDC's data shows that over the past two decades, suicide rates overall have risen, with firearm suicide accounting for roughly one half of all suicides.
"Every firearm suicide is a preventable tragedy. Keeping guns out of the hands of people experiencing a suicidal crisis is one of the most effective ways to avert tragedy," said Sarah Burd-Sharps, Senior Director of Research at Everytown for Gun Safety. "When our leaders take action to pass proven gun safety laws, like policies that allow families and loved ones to intervene when someone is in crisis and petition to temporarily remove their guns, they can save lives."
While gun suicide rates continue to increase across the country, this is not the case in every state. In September, Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund released a first-of-its-kind report analyzing suicide rates against state gun laws spanning multiple decades.
The report shows that in the two decades from 1999 to 2022, while firearm suicide rates have gone up 39% among 14 states designated as "national failures" on gun safety policy, rates of firearm suicide have gone down in the eight states that Everytown has designated as "national leaders" in gun violence prevention policies. Over this same period, there has been little to no difference in rates of suicides by other means in either states with weak or strong gun laws, inherently challenging the notion that individuals intent on attempting suicide will find a way, with or without a gun - a relentless and innacurate myth spread by the gun lobby.
The bottom line: firearm suicide can be prevented through common-sense gun safety laws. From waiting periods and secure storage laws to Extreme Risk laws, when states take comprehensive action to pass common-sense gun violence prevention policies, we save lives.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 -- Earthjustice issued the following news release on Nov. 30, 2023:
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed amendments to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), established in 1991 and intended to regulate the control and monitoring of lead in drinking water. The proposed new rule requires water systems to replace all lead pipelines within 10 years (and faster when feasible), lowers the levels at which agencies must take additional steps to eliminate lead in drinking water, and contains provisions intended to improve accuracy in identifying where higher levels oflead in drinking water are within communities. EPA's proposal comes in response to successful lawsuits by Earthjustice, its clients, and other partners, along with grassroots pressure from frontline communities around the country.
Any level of lead exposure presents risk to people of all ages. Even in small amounts, lead can cause irreversible brain damage in children, miscarriage, stillbirth, and cardiovascular disease. Congress knew the danger lead exposure presents when they banned installation of new lead service lines in 1986. Yet, there has been no meaningful progress in protecting communities under the LCR for decades. There are still as many as 10 million lead service lines in the country, and researchers estimate that these lead pipes deliver water to as many as 22 million people.
"The EPA's proposed improvements to the Lead and Copper Rule are a much-needed response to a dire public health crisis that's been ongoing for more than a century," said Suzanne Novak, Earthjustice attorney. "The administration's proposal takes important steps towards fulfilling the Safe Drinking Water Act's purpose of protecting human health to the extent feasible. EPA has recognized that quick removal of all lead service lines is imperative, and that swift action is needed when a community has persistent high levels of lead in its water. Because the public health burden of lead exposure falls disproportionately on environmental justice communities, we need to make sure that the final rule is equitable in how it achieves reduction of lead in drinking water across the country."
Delivery of water through lead pipes is an environmental justice issue. Communities of color and low-wealth families continue to face disproportionate exposure to lead in water because they are more likely to live in older homes with lead service lines. Lead is found in the blood of all U.S. children, but Black children have the highest body burden. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 11.2% of Black children and 4% of Mexican-American children are poisoned by lead.
In 2021, EPA released its updated -- but flawed -- LCR amendments, which took no steps towards eliminating all lead service lines and but rather dramatically slowed down the rate at which lead pipes were required to be replaced. It also allowed small public water systems that used to be required to replace lead service lines, to avoid replacing them altogether, even if those systems continually exceed the so-called lead action level. Earthjustice sued soon after. There were additional lawsuits filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council, and 10 attorneys general from nine states, and the District of Columbia.
Quotes from our clients:
"As a longstanding advocate for communities harmed by lead, I commend the EPA's proposed improvements to the Lead and Copper Rule," said Queen Zakia Shabazz, founder and executive director of United Parents Against Lead & Other Environmental Hazards, a nonprofit based in Richmond, Virginia. "Despite the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act, for years we've seen the devastating effects of lead exposure, particularly on our children. These improvements signify hope and progress in ensuring safe drinking water for all, especially those disproportionately affected by lead contamination. While our work continues, this proposed rule is a crucial milestone in safeguarding children's health."
"Addressing lead contamination in our drinking water is fundamental to ensuring the well-being of our communities and safeguarding our natural resources," said Sonya Lunder, senior toxics policy advisor at the Sierra Club. "This proposed rule, particularly the mandate for lead service line replacements and the improved requirements to educate the public, represents progress towards a safer, more sustainable future for all."
"Communities like ours in Newburgh have grappled with the repercussions of lead contamination for too long," said Deborah Brown, Newburgh Clean Water Project steering committee member. "The proposed improvements, especially the replacement of all lead service lines, signify a significant stride to safe and clean drinking water for our families and future generations. It's a step in the right direction."
"Safe potable water is a basic human right. "We agree with the EPA that this rule needed to be modified with the communities most impacted in mind," said Janette McCarthy Wallace, General Counsel of the NAACP. We intend to hold the EPA to its word on 100% replacement of lead pipes within the next decade."

Earlier today, CAIR condemned the Biden administration for giving the Israeli government the "green light" to resume bombing Gaza and called on the United States to join other governments in demanding the resumption of the ceasefire and negotiations to secure a just, lasting peace. Israel's renewed bombing campaign has already killed almost 200 Palestinian civilians.

Advocates Decry Meta's Attempt to Shut Down the FTC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 -- Fairplay, an organization committed to helping children thrive and ending marketing to children, issued the following news release on Nov. 30, 2023:
Advocates for children and privacy condemned a lawsuit filed yesterday evening by Meta against the Federal Trade Commission that seeks to shut the agency down by asserting the Commission's structure is unconstitutional. Meta's suit comes in response to a proposed FTC order prohibiting Meta from monetizing children's data for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) while already operating under a ConsentDecree for multiple serious privacy violations. Earlier this week, Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied a motion filed by Meta that claimed the FTC had no authority to modify its previous settlement. Now Meta is escalating its attacks on the Commission's authority.
Meta has posed a threat to the privacy and welfare of young people in the U.S. for many years, as it targeted them to further its data-driven commercial surveillance advertising system. Scandal after scandal has exposed the company's blatant disregard for children and youth, with nearly daily headlines about its irresponsible actions coming from former employees turned whistleblowers and major multi-state and bi-partisan investigations of states attorneys-general. Despite multiple attempts by regulators to contain Meta's ongoing undermining of its user privacy, including through multiple FTC consent decrees, it is evident that a substantive remedy is required to safeguard US youth.
Fairplay, the Center for Digital Democracy, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) have issued these comments on today's announcement of a Meta lawsuit against the Federal Trade Commission:
Josh Golin, Executive Director, Fairplay:
"While many have noted social media's role in fueling the mental health crisis, the Federal Trade Commission has taken actual meaningful action to protect young people online by its order prohibiting serial privacy offender Meta from monetizing minor's data. So it's not surprising that Meta is launching this brazen attack on the Commission, especially given the company may have $200 billion in COPPA liability according to recently unsealed documents. Anyone who cares about the wellbeing of children- and the safety of American consumers - should rally to the defense of the Commission and be deeply concerned about the lengths Meta will go to preserve its ability to profit at the expense of young people."
Katharina Kopp, Director of Policy, Center for Digital Democracy:
"For decades Meta has put the maximization of profits from so-called behavioral advertising above the best interests of children and teens. Meta's failure to comply repeatedly with its 2012 and 2020 settlements with the FTC, including its non-compliance with the federal children's privacy law (COPPA), and the unique developmental vulnerability of minors, justifies the FTC to propose the modifications of Meta's consent decree and to require it to stop profiting from the data it gathers on children and teens. It should not surprise anybody then that Meta is now going after the FTC with its lawsuit. But this attack on the FTC is essentially an attack on common sense regulation to curtail out-of-control commercial power and an attack on our children, teenagers, and every one of us."
John Davisson, Director of Litigation, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC):
"It seems there's no legal theory, however far-fetched, that Meta won't deploy to avoid a full accounting of its harmful data practices. The reason is clear. A hearing before the FTC will confirm that Meta continues to mishandle personal data and put the privacy and safety of minors at risk, despite multiple orders not to do so. The changes FTC is proposing to Meta's exploitative business model can't come soon enough. We hope the court will reject Meta's latest attempt to run out the clock, as another federal court did just this week."
