Members of the European Jewish Parliament discuss Jewish Issues during Inauguration in Brussels
JN1's Sivan Raviv spoke with members of the European Jewish Parliament in Brussels during its inauguration on February 16th. The EJP includes 120 elected Jewish leaders from across Europe -- the same number of members as the Israeli Knesset -- and provides European Jewry with a platform for dialogue with the European Union and world leaders. Over 400,000 Jews voted in the parliamentary elections in late 2011, and the newly elected leaders will now work to impact legislation and political agenda. Their first General Assembly will be held this April.
Iran trains thousands of Female Ninja at a "Ninjutsu" Martial Arts School in Tehran
Iranian women are learning "Ninjutsu" at a martial arts school in Tehran. Many were surprised to learn that such a conservative Islamic state would allow women to receive martial arts training, and the Iranian media reported that over 3,500 women are training to become kunoichi, or female ninja. Many of the women were recorded saying that they were ready to fight for their country. However, experts contend that what is being called Ninjutsu is not a genuine or even realistic form of martial arts. And since the footage was released by the state-funded Press TV network, Iran may have wanted to show the West that it doesn't discriminate against women and that women support the regime.
