Israel has been conducting research to determine threats from Islamic terrorist organizations.

The project, funded by the European Union and General Motors, was designed to use algorithms to read millions of e-mails and identify those deemed suspicious or important. The data-mining system, a project headed by Tel Aviv University’s (TAU) Dr. Oded Maimon, was said to have identified 98 out of 100 hits relevant to search criteria.

“Other search engines yield only a small portion of the really interesting messages,” according to Dr. Maimon, who is the author of 10 books on data mining.

Other defense research has been conducted by TAU’s Dr. Ran Bachrach, a faculty member at the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, who has been developing techniques to detect underground activity, particularly the construction of tunnels.

Dr. Bachrach, regarded as an expert on tunnel detection technology, has employed seismic waves and remote-sensing technologies to monitor underground activity. The non-destructive seismic waves were said to have spotted tunnels just below the surface.

“It’s the type of research that may finally stop the flourishing underground trade between Gaza and Egypt and protect Israeli army border units from being ambushed by tunnel-digging terrorists,” according to a spokesperson of TAU.

TAU has also been conducting research in quantum computing and encryption for the military. In a project headed by Dr. Julia Kempe, researchers were analyzing quantum properties in an effort to revolutionize cryptanalysis.

“If this beast is built, it will break every cipher and code in use today,” Dr. Kempe said.

Sources in the European Union affirm that their involvement in this project will also help all the European countries to protect themselves from incursions of Islamic terrorists who can often be detected through careful Internet research.

Bedein has covered breaking Middle East negotiations in Oslo, Ottawa, Shepherdstown, The Wye Plantation, Annapolis, Geneva, Nicosia, Washington, D.C., London, Bonn, and Vienna. Bedein has overseen investigative studies of the Palestinian Authority, the Expulsion Process from Gush Katif and Samaria, The Peres Center for Peace, Peace Now, The International Center for Economic Cooperation of Yossi Beilin, the ISM, Adalah, and the New Israel Fund.   Since 2005, Bedein has also served as Director of the Center for Near East Policy Research.   A focus of the center's investigations is The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). In that context, Bedein authored Roadblock to Peace: How the UN Perpetuates the Arab-Israeli Conflict - UNRWA Policies Reconsidered, which caps Bedein's 28 years of investigations of UNRWA. The Center for Near East Policy Research has been instrumental in reaching elected officials, decision makers and journalists, commissioning studies, reports, news stories and films. In 2009, the center began decided to produce short movies, in addition to monographs, to film every aspect of UNRWA education in a clear and cogent fashion.   The center has so far produced seven short documentary pieces n UNRWA which have received international acclaim and recognition, showing how which UNRWA promotes anti-Semitism and incitement to violence in their education'   In sum, Bedein has pioneered The UNRWA Reform Initiative, a strategy which calls for donor nations to insist on reasonable reforms of UNRWA. Bedein and his team of experts provide timely briefings to members to legislative bodies world wide, bringing the results of his investigations to donor nations, while demanding reforms based on transparency, refugee resettlement and the demand that terrorists be removed from the UNRWA schools and UNRWA payroll.   Bedein's work can be found at: www.IsraelBehindTheNews.com and www.cfnepr.com. A new site,unrwa-monitor.com, will be launched very soon.
