Re: Israel Council at Purdue

Hello Shai,

Yes ICAP is an active student organization and we are in search of new 
members. We normally meet at Hillel on Friday evenings before Shabbat 
(roughly 18:00 hrs).

We look forward to seeing you at our meetings.

Meeting tomorrow

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good break.

We need to meet tomorrow to discuss the speaker that we will be bringing 
for our talk on Jan 27.

Phil has suggested that the talk could be something about the situation 
in Israel now that Sharon is ill.

Another thing that needs to be taken care of is the transfer of the 
presidency from me to Jenn.

Dr Weiner, who I spoke to just before break last semester about being 
our advisor, might also be attending the meeting so we need to try and 
stay focused during the meeting.

Dr Weiner is a faculty member of the Biochemistry Department.

Since I do not know what your class schedules are like, I would like to 
go ahead and set the meeting for 18:00 at Hillel unless there are 
serious objections.

Gill

callout

<div><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; We had originally proposed having the callout on Thursday
night, the 19th, but it seems like having it Friday night would be
better for some people.&nbsp; (Including myself)&nbsp; Does anyone see
any problem with having the callout on Friday at 6?&nbsp; And what are
the views on having it at Hillel versus other places?&nbsp; I really
need to know by this afternoon, as I will be finalizing the fliers to
get out to you guys tonight.&nbsp; Also I would need to do a room
request, etc.&nbsp; None of that is problematic, but I just need to
know asap.&nbsp;
Thanks!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Suggestion from Adam Milstein

Hey Everyone,

Adam Milstein, who I spoke with on Sunday, suggested that ICAP try and 
emphasize what is going on with the lunatic in Tehran.

We might want to ask our speaker on the 27th to mention something about 
this in addition to speaking about Sharon's condition and its 
implication for Israel.

Also, John could you please add Adam to the ICAP mailing list. His 
e-mail address is: amilstei (gmail.com)

Gill

Re: Suggestion from Adam Milstein

<div>
<p>Actually the speaker, Tsuriel Raphael, is going to be on campus
February 6th.&nbsp; I will attach his list of specific topics to the
group.&nbsp; John is fine tuning the flier for our call out on January
27th, NEXT Friday.&nbsp; I will try to get us a Window to advertise our
upcoming speaker and our cal lout, and we need to start putting the
paper fliers up in buildings on Thursday (unless we are allowed to do
so tomorrow?&nbsp; Could someone tell me the rules for fliers IN
buildings?)&nbsp; <br>
I completely agree that we should address the CRAZINESS in Iran.&nbsp;
It's nutty, it's scary, and I think it's a good way to bring up other
Israel issues.&nbsp; John, can you also add Walter?&nbsp; His address
is <a href="mailto:walterzy@...">walterzy@...</a>.&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp; <br><br>
Side note,&nbsp; our website is at <a href="http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~icap/">http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~icap/</a><br>
There is a nice place where news or discussion can be posted.&nbsp; If
you don't have an account bug John and he will set you up.&nbsp; That
away if you read a story you like, you can just paste it there, and
maybe we can start some discussion of some of the current things going
on.&nbsp; And there seem to be a lot!&nbsp; And I hate to say it, but
please keep it relatively professional. Especially you,Goldberg!&nbsp; <br><br><br><br></p>

Including Iran

Hi all,

Just thought you might be interested to know (in case some of you didn't make 
it) that U.S. Army General (four star) Wesley Clark spoke earlier this evening 
to a full house in Loeb Theater.  (His topic was mostly about the Balkans, 
since he was in command for NATO at that time.)  However during the Q & A 
session afterwards he addressed lots of things...including the threat posed by 
Iran, and commented that the US should have gone after them before Iraq.  He 
also discussed how often the people in power make decisions about places 
they've never been, and included the Iranian leader's remarks about destroying 
Israel as an example of someone making a decision without ever having been 
there!

Peace,
Dara

fliers

<div><p>Can somebody get 75 copies made of the callout flier, and then talk to
Roni?&nbsp; She is taking over fliers for a bowling event to Smalley
sometime today, and if she has not gone yet could you get them to
her?&nbsp; If she has already delivered those, then can you take the
fliers to Smalley (between Meredith and the co-rec)?&nbsp;&nbsp; If no
one can do it today, then I will get them printed tonight and take care
of it tomorrow.&nbsp; Please let me know.&nbsp; If you use the printers
in the library or other non-lab places you can avoid using your quota,
although they are still not charging this
semester.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
