United Nations Confirms Allegations: 'UNRWA staff not tested for terror ties'

2009-02-04T11:30:00.000-08:00

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees does little to check whether its staff or clients are terrorists, its former chief attorney, James Lindsay, says in a newly published report.

Allegations linking terrorists to UNRWA are not new. Israel has said many times its troops were fired on by gunmen using UNRWA facilities, that UNRWA vehicles transported weapons and that some of its staff members were terrorists.

UNRWA has denied those charges and Israel has often retracted them or found them hard to prove.

This latest claim against UNRWA, contained in a 67-page critique of the organization published at the end of January by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, has more authority behind it, because Lindsay was a senior lawyer for UNRWA from 2000 to 2007.

The issue, Lindsay wrote, is not intention but oversight.

"UNRWA has taken very few steps to detect and eliminate terrorists from the ranks of its staff or its beneficiaries, and no steps at all to prevent members of terrorist organizations such as Hamas from joining its staff," he wrote.

"These failings have occurred not because UNRWA consciously supports terrorism but rather because it is not particularly concerned about the issue. Its main focus [is] the provision of services and protection of Palestinian refugees," he wrote.

UNRWA's Jerusalem spokesman Chris Gunness said in response that his organization had "a rigorous approach to ensuring that its staff are not involved in militant or political activity" and that it took the matter very seriously.

Lindsay wrote that UNRWA did not have the means to ensure there was no terrorism in its midst.

"Even if terrorism constituted a greater concern, the agency is not equipped to undertake the extensive security investigations that a thoroughgoing anti-terrorism effort would require," he said.

Lindsay cited examples of past charges against UNRWA staff, including a 2002 UNRWA driver who was accused - but never charged - with carrying weapons in an ambulance and a Gaza headmaster employed by UNRWA who was also an explosives experts for Islamic Jihad. The headmaster was killed by Israel last year.

UNRWA has no preemployment security checks and does not monitor off-time behavior to ensure compliance with the organization's anti-terrorist rules, Lindsay wrote.

"Evidence of area staff members who have had second jobs with Hamas or with other terrorist groups does occasionally come to light," he wrote.

Even so, Lindsay noted, of the 5,000 UNRWA staff who worked in the West Bank and the 10,000 in the Gaza Strip, most of whom were Palestinians, few had been convicted of terrorism-related charges.

Staff members, however, had been involved in political activity, wrote Lindsay. In particular he quoted the organization's past commissioner-general Peter Hansen, who in 2004 said, "I am sure there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll and I don't see that as a crime. Hamas as a political organization does not mean that every member is a militant and we do not do political vetting and exclude people from one persuasion as against another."

UNRWA has said in response that its staff were prohibited from any political involvement.

The bulk of Lindsay's report, however, focused on operational suggestions to de-politicize and change the organization's mission and to cut down on its list of 4.5 million refugees.

UNRWA was created in 1949 by General Assembly Resolution 302 and began operation in May 1950 to service what at the time was 957,000 refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, many of whom been rendered homeless or jobless by the 1948-49 war with Israel, according to Lindsay.

That number was higher than the initial UN list of 726,000 refugees recorded in the immediate aftermath of the war, he wrote.

Initially, UNRWA provided immediate relief with an aim to integrate the refugees into their host countries.

Both the refugees and the Arab states opposed the idea of integration. By the late 1950s it had been disregarded in favor of servicing the refugees, including offering developmental services in areas such as education, health, welfare, microfinance and urban planning.

UNRWA also expanded its definition of a refugee to include those patrilineal descendants of the original refugees.

Since the 1970s, more than half of the organization's budget has gone to education. In 2007, for example, $282 million of UNRWA's $545m. budget went to educate 480,000 children, according to Lindsay.

Similarly, 21,962 of its 29,000 staff members work in UNRWA schools. Fifteen percent to 20% of its budget goes to health services, for which $106m. was earmarked in the 2007 budget.

But not all those serviced by UNRWA need the organization, Lindsay wrote in his study, particularly given that a majority of them have been resettled.

In Jordan, where 2 million Palestinian refugees live, all but 167,000 have citizenship, and are fully eligible for government services including education and health care.

To continue to call citizens of recognized states refugees is suspect and suggests "that the agency's continued existence is due at least in part to political purposes" even though UNRWA was not designed as a political organization, Lindsay said.

Eliminating UNRWA services in Jordan to all but the 167,000 noncitizens could reduce its refugee list by 40%, Lindsay said.

In deciding to whom UNRWA provides services, it assesses "refugee status," not need, he wrote.

Some recipients of aid could afford to pay for the services they now received for free, he wrote.

The decision to allow for a growing refugee population had become a political statement that fostered and supported the Palestinian demand to return to Israel, he wrote.

UNRWA, he said, did this even though the United States, its largest single donor, did not support the right of Palestinian return to within Israel's pre-1967 border.

While some critics have demanded that the organization be disbanded, Lindsay called for it to be reformed. UNRWA's programs, he said, had insured that the population it serviced did not suffer from lack of basic needs.

Clean tech perseveres in tough economy

By Efrain Viscarolasaga

The pre-holiday Fourth Conference on Clean Energy at the Hynes Convention Center is long since over, but the event has traditionally proven to be a litmus test for the local clean energy industry.

Surprisingly, the event maintained at least a slight feeling of optimism for the long-term prospects of the local clean technology community, despite the plunging stock market, tightening financial environment and plummeting price of oil. If nothing else, its success bolstered the industry’s position among the region’s traditional industry heavyweights such as telecom, biotech and finance, and left attendees feeling that the industry has a future beyond next year’s event.

Some notes:

• Stealthy portable battery maker Lilliputian Systems Inc. of Wilmington made an appearance at the conference, with new vice president of business development and marketing Mouli Ramani walking the halls. Though the company had a small presence at the show, its big announcement came from its Wilmington facility, where Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick attended an event and helped the company announce the addition of 100 new “green collar” jobs through a planned expansion of its manufacturing plant.

The expansion comes as the company finally put a target date — 2009 — on the release of its portable fuel cell for wireless devices.

For the uninitiated, Lilliputian was founded out of MIT on research developed by Samuel Schaevitz and Aleks Franz, Lilliputian’s co-founders. In 2003 they added CEO Ken Lazarus, and despite raising more than $60 million in funding, the company has remained fairly quiet about its technology.

Over the past few months, a slow stream of information coming out of the company seems to indicate that it has solved the technology issues, and units could be forthcoming as soon as next year.

While such miniature, portable fuel cells have been researched both here and in Asia for years, they have always been “some time away.” If Lilliputian has indeed solved the technology issues, and has a device that can penetrate the $50 billion portable power market, it is no surprise the governor turned out for its expansion announcement.

When you consider the applicability of such power sources on everything from cell phones and music players to GPS units and laptops, 100 new jobs to get them out the door may be just the beginning.

• Two local companies used the conference to announce new funding. Cellulosic ethanol microbe developer SunEthanol Inc. announced its name change to Qteros Inc. and brought in $25 million, while alternative engine technology maker ReGen Power Systems LLC added $5 million to its coffers.

What’s interesting about the two deals is that despite the Chicken Little syndrome that has many in the industry saying no “new money” is coming out of the VC community, both deals included new investors. Qteros’ new investors include Cambridge-based Venrock, New York-based Soros Fund Management LLC and energy giant BP PLC, joining previous investors Battery Ventures,Long River Ventures and Camros Capital.

For ReGen Power Systems, the investment represents the firm’s first private funding, though it previously received $500,000 from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. It’s new investors are New York-based 21Ventures LLC and the Quercus Trust.

Despite being held during the heart of one of the worst financial weeks in recent history, the economic outlook of the clean energy sector was positive among attendees of the conference. The financial sections of the event, including the annual “investor pitch” sessions, where budding entrepreneurs pitch their company to potential investors, were among the most-attended sessions of the event.

• The atmosphere was likewise positive at the conference’s job fair, where a handful of companies still hiring people (rather than laying them off) fielded questions from a room packed with potential employees. According to Matthew Richards, the founder and managing director of renewable energy recruiting firm DanePartners, which sponsored the job fair, the abundance of job seekers wasn’t all that surprising, given the economy. The number of companies hiring, however, including Conservation Services Group of Westborough, Satcon Technologies Corp. of Boston, Konarka Technologies Inc. of Lowell, Evergreen Solar Inc. of Marlborough and Second Wind Inc. of Somerville, was encouraging.

Among the areas that were most active, said Richards, were green-collar jobs, those that require hands-on knowledge of technologies, both new and traditional. Sectors most active on the recruitment side included energy efficiency and demand-response companies, as opposed to core technology research companies in the wind, solar or biomass sectors.

Vesta Capital Corp. (TSXV:VES.P)
Announces the Signing of a Letter of
Intent for Its Proposed Qualifying
Transaction
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2008) - Vesta Capital Corp. ("Vesta")
(TSX VENTURE:VES.P) is pleased to announce that on October 30, 2008, it entered into
a letter of intent ("LOI") with 3GSolar, Ltd. ("3G"). The LOI provides that Vesta will
enter into a share exchange transaction with each of 3G's shareholders, which will result
in 3G becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vesta (the "Transaction"). The
Transaction is intended to constitute Vesta's "qualifying transaction" under TSX Venture
Exchange ("TSXV") policies. If the Transaction it successfully completed, it is believed
that 3G would be the first Israel-based business listed on a Canadian stock exchange.
About 3G
3G (formerly, Orionsolar Photovoltaics Ltd.) is a developer of dye solar cell ("DSC")
photovoltaic modules. DSC technology is a cost-effective alternative to silicon and thin
film-based systems, providing a low-cost solar energy solution that produces electricity
efficiently even in low light conditions. 3G focuses its efforts to develop DSC modules to
serve off-grid markets, mainly in developing countries where in excess of two billion
people live without electricity.
3G was incorporated June 24, 2004 under the laws of the State of Israel. Its business
operations are conducted through its facility in Jerusalem, Israel. Upon completion of the
Transaction, it is anticipated that the resulting issuer will be classified as a research and
development issuer by the TSXV.
The issued shares of 3G are owned by thirty-four (34) shareholders. Dr. Jonathan
Goldstein (of Jerusalem, Israel), 3G's founder, its president and a director, owns
approximately 11% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). Seventeen (17) shareholders (including
three 3G employees who own less that 3% of 3G's shares, fully diluted) are individual
Israel residents or Israel corporations controlled by Israel residents, who collectively own
approximately 22% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). The remaining sixteen (16)
shareholders own approximately 66% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). Fifteen (15) of these
remaining shareholders are limited liability companies formed under the laws of
Delaware (U.S.A.) and controlled by U.S. residents, and one (1) shareholder is an Ontario
corporation controlled by a resident of Ontario. Other than Dr. Goldstein, the only
shareholder who holds in excess of 10% of 3G's shares is DG-OSP, LLC, a Delaware
(U.S.A.) limited liability company, controlled by The Quercus Trust (Newport Beach,
California) which owns approximately 17% of 3G's shares (fully diluted).
To date 3G has engaged in the research and development of DSC photovoltaic
technology. 3G employs seventeen (17) professionals at its facility.
3G has provided Vesta with audited financial statements (prepared in accordance with
Israel auditing standards) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, which
financial statements have been reconciled to Canadian GAAP (both presented in United
States dollars). 3G has also provided unaudited financial statements for the 6 month
period ended June 30, 2008, which financial statements are also being reconciled to
Canadian standards. As at December 31 2007, 3G had total assets of USD$1,514,175 and
total liabilities of USD$202,330. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 3G had a net
loss of USD$967,255 of which USD$741,079 represented R&D expenditures incurred
during the period. As at June 30, 2008, 3G had total assets of USD$1,293,891 and total
liabilities of USD$262,390. For the 6 month period ended June 30, 2008, 3G had a net
loss of USD$655,726 of which USD$289,435 represented R&D expenditures incurred
during the period.
Terms of the Transaction
Vesta is proposing to issue 25,000,00 common shares to holders of 3G shares pro rata
(based on the number of 3G shares held) at a deemed price of $0.40 per share, in
exchange for 100% of the issued shares of 3G. Upon completion of the Transaction,
Vesta will own 100% of 3G. 3G's current business (as heretofore described) will become
the business of the resulting issuer.
The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to: (i) both
3G and Vesta completing their mutual due diligence of one another, which due diligence
is to be completed within 30 days of the date of the LOI, (ii) negotiation of acceptable
definitive share exchange agreement(s) (or other suitable arrangements) between Vesta
and each holder of 3G shares, (iii) receipt of all required regulatory approvals (including
TSXV approval as noted below), and (iv) Vesta raising sufficient additional funds which,
which combined with Vesta's existing funds, will allow it to meet the TSXV's minimum
listing requirements upon completion of the Transaction.

Cognisafe and seed funding from 21Ventures

2008-10-05T11:15:00.000-07:00

October 1,2008 -

21Ventures announces investment in CogniSafe Ltd. - Anti-cheat software provider for online-games

New York, NY and Tel-Aviv, Israel, October 1, 2008 --- 21Ventures, a U.S. based venture capital firm, announced today a seed investment in CogniSafe Ltd. – an Israeli company providing real-time anti-cheat software solution for online games . The funding is earmarked for sales and marketing and ongoing product development. “CogniSafe brings an exciting new approach to solve the cheating problem in online games, a problem which causes significant losses to gaming companies and harms the players ability to enjoy the challenge and adventure of a cheat-free game environment. Just like online banking and commerce services, the online gaming industry is vulnerable to fraud and cheating, but no real time solution has been presented so far to solve the cheating problem. We believe that CogniSafe solution will become the standard in detection and prevention of cheating in online games and we are happy to be among the first to identify CogniSafe potential” said David Anthony, Managing Partner of 21Ventures. The cheating problem in online games causes game providers to remove tens of thousands of paying players every month, due to suspected cheating. The removal is usually done following a complaint from other players, or after a post mortem analysis of player's actions. In addition, a significant number of legitimate players abandon some game titles, and cease paying, when they feel they have been cheated. CogniSafe's solution enables online game providers to detect, in real time, any deviation from proper gaming procedures by the online players, and remove cheaters from participation in the game, thus makes cheating attempts futile and enables other players to continue and enjoy a cheat-free gaming experience. "There is a clear need in the market for a real-time solution that will enable the gaming companies to really understand the magnitude of the cheating phenomena, gather evidence against cheaters, and remove them from the game before they affect the gaming experience for other players ”, said Izik Shimon, CEO of CogniSafe. Izik continues "We are already engaged with several leaders in the online gaming industry, which understand the potential of increasing the integrity of their games and avoiding significant losses, by working with CogniSafe".

Search for videos using regular SMS on JuiceCaster

2008-01-15T23:00:00.000-08:00

JuiceCaster this week launched its Mobile Video Search (MVS), a search application that looks for user-posted videos via wireless devices. The free service lets anyone with a video-capable cell phone to instantly watch desired videos on-demand by texting a keyword to 84462. The search tool then immediately sends a reply, with links to the requested content. The company says MVS works on more than 95% of video-capable phones, including the iPhone, BlackBerry, Treo and Windows Mobile devices, as well as mass-market phones like the Motorola Razr series.

The free WAP version is accessible by sending the word "join" in a text message to 84462. Subscription-based and downloadable BREW and Java versions of the application are also available through different local and global wireless carriers.

Heres a quick explanation of JuiceCaster in case you don't know what it is yet:

iPhone with JuiceCaster

2008-01-15T22:58:00.001-08:00

While most of what we saw at CES falls into the hardware category, there were a couple of companies showing off web applications that work with or are designed for the iPhone.

JuiceCaster lets you share and view videos online via your iPhone.

JuiceCaster is a social network site designed to let you share and view videos online. It automatically detects that you’re using an iPhone and displays videos in a compatible MPEG4 format. While iPhone users can’t record their own videos to upload, due to a lack of video recording functionality, you can also access the site via your Mac and embed the player on other social networking sites like MySpace and Xanga.

If it’s sharing music you’re into, FlyTunes is a forthcoming service that takes advantage of the thousands of available Internet radio stations to provide you with an unparalleled selection of music, streamed directly to your iPhone. Software installed on your PC or Mac works as a middleman, building a channel tailored to your musical preferences. And by caching 30 minutes of audio on your iPhone when a Wi-Fi signal is detected, FlyTunes doesn’t chew up your iPhone’s precious battery time.
