Karel Valansi’s first book published

The writer of ‘Objective’ column in Salom newspaper, Karel Valansi published her first book, ‘The Crescent Moon and the Magen David, Turkish-Israeli Relations Through the Lens of the Turkish Public’. 
Karel Valansi’s book, which examines the Turkish-Israeli relations from a different perspective, is published by Hamilton Books New York, in March. Focusing mainly on the early Republican era in Turkey, between 1936 and 1956, the book studies the establishment of the state of Israel and Turkish people’s reaction to Turkey’s decision to recognize the State of Israel.   
While writing the book, Valansi used various resources including notably the archives of Salom and Cumhuriyet Newspapers, published memoirs of diplomats and other individuals who lived during the early Republican era and unpublished memoirs of Turkish Jews who immigrated to Israel. Valansi enriched her book’s content with one-to one interviews and excerpts from comprehensive studies about Turkish Jews conducted by Rifat N. Bali and Avner Levi. 
While analyzing Turkish-Israeli relations, Valansi focuses on oral history, true life experiences and testimonials rather than adapting the conventional distant style of history books.  This way, she reveals the repercussions of consensuses and agreements signed between the two countries and their impact on Turkish people. She also highlights the changes during this period. 
‘The Crescent Moon and the Magen David, Turkish-Israeli Relations Through the Lens of the Turkish Public’s preface is written by Soli Ozel, a lecturer at Kadir Has University Department of International Relations. The book is available in hardcover and e-book format at Barnes and Nobles and on amazon.com.

MLYA 5 - "I will survive"

Toplumsal ya da kişisel tarihi, hatırası olan bir objenin hikayesini yaz. Pek obje olmasa da önce bir şarkı oradan da köprüye geçtim. Büyükada'yı ve çocukluğumu anlatabilmek güzel :) "Hiç elleme, özellikle giriş bölümüyle tam bir köşe yazısı, çok güzel" dedi Mario bey. Ama sınırlarımı aşmam lazım... Hiç bir yazımı şimdiye kadar kimseye ithaf etmemiştim ama bu yazı Tania'ma özel. Bizi bırakıp Tel Aviv'e gitti ve dun akşam sirenler çalarken bu şehirde, onunla beraber korktum ve takip ettim gelişmeleri. Bu yazı onu da beraber yaşadığımız çocukluğumuza götürecek ve keyiflendirecek eminim. ‘I Will Survive’ Şarkılar vardır, sanki sizin için yazılmış gibidir, duygularınızla birebir örtüşür. Şarkılar vardır, hayatınızın belli dönemlerinde farklı anlamlar yüklersiniz, yaşanmışlıkla beraber. Farklı algılarsınız aslında hep aynı olan, tek hecesi bile değişmemiş sözlerini. Şarkılar vardır, kendi içinde bile bir melodisi bulunur, müziğini hiç duymamış bile olsanız ...

NATO’s Southern Flank is Becoming a Strategic Frontier

On 8 July, as NATO leaders gathered in Ankara, the ceasefire between the United States and Iran collapsed, with Washington launching renewed strikes as the meeting was underway. The conflict involving Iran that began on 28 February was expected to remain limited in duration and was widely described as a “short-term excursion,” yet, more than six months later—after an April ceasefire, a June memorandum of understanding, and its collapse—the conflict remains unresolved. For Washington, the conflict has become a sustained drain on attention, assets, and Alliance coherence, raising difficult questions about burden sharing and the credibility of U.S. deterrence commitments across the Middle East.   The conflict’s prolongation and intensification, with regionalization still unfolding, have called into question whether NATO’s Southern neighborhood framework—and, by extension, the U.S. force posture underpinning it—is sufficient for the current security environment. The Alliance des...

“We are Beyond What I Had Dreamed of When I Moved to Dubai”

Cem Habib  We talked about how the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates affected the Jewish life in the Emirates, with the investment manager Cem Habib, who has been living in Dubai since 2016, and who is one of the founding members of the Jewish Council of Emirates (JCE), the first officially recognized Jewish community of the UAE. How long have you been living in Dubai? What influenced you in deciding to live here? I moved to Dubai in 2016, before I had been living in London. My customer base at that time was in Kazakhstan and it had gotten harder commuting there from London every month after 6 years. There were three direct flights between Dubai and Kazakhstan, every day, with a flight time of less than 4 hours. To improve our quality of life and to spend more time with the kids, we moved to Dubai. When moving, how could you overcome the thought “As a Jew, will I be comfortable living in an Arab country with my family?” I talked to my friends from different cou...
