Checking A Footnote

I read this in an academic article, one not sympathetic to Israel, by Professor Emerita at Boston University Irene Gendzier based on her book, Dying to Forget Oil, Power, Palestine, and the Foundations of U.S. Policy in the Middle East:

Michael Assaf, adviser to Ben-Gurion, had an acute sense of its long-term implications for Israeli-U.S. relations, and more generally for those of Israel and the West. What he wrote in an editorial in the Israeli daily Ha'aretz in 1951 was to prove prophetic. Assaf reviewed the precarious situation of Arab regimes in the face of nationalist movements, both secular and religious, concluding that the states in question were weak militarily. In this context, he considered the impact of Israel's strengthening, which he described as "a rather convenient way for the Western Powers to keep a balance of political forces in the Middle East. According to this supposition Israel has been assigned the role of a kind of watchdog." In that capacity, if the "Western powers will at some time prefer, for one reason or another, to shut their eyes, Israel can be relied upon to punish properly one or several of its neighboring states whose lack of manners towards the West has gone beyond permissible limits."47

Footnote 47 reads:


 47 "The Harlot from the Cities Overseas and We — Thoughts on the Eve of [Jewish] New Year 5712," Op-ed article, Ha'aretz, September 30, 1951, cited in Moshe Machover, "Israelis and Palestinians: Conflict and Resolution," Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust Annual Lecture, November 30, 2006, pp. 13-14.

I looked it up.

It is not on pages 13-14. 

An article with that title is found on page 2.

It is written, however, not by Assaf but  by Gershom Schocken, the owner and publisher of Haaretz at the time. Since the 30th was the eve of Rosh Hashana but a Sunday, I checked the previous Friday and the following (Friday being the weekend edition) but not Assaf.

And yes, the passage appears so:


 משום כך חיזוק מסוים של
ישראל הוא דרך נוחה למדי בשביל
מעצמות המערב כדי לשמור על איזון
כוחות פוליטי במזרח התיכון. לפי סב-
רה זו נועד לישראל תפקיד של מעין
כלב-שמירח. אין לחשוש שהיא תפעיל
מדיניות תוקפנית כלפי מדינות ערב,
אם דבר זה יעמוד בניגוד ברור לרצונן
של אמריקה ובריסניה, אך אם מעצמות
המערב יעדיפו פעם, מטעם זה או אחר,
לעצום עין' אפשר יהיה לסמוך על כך,
שישראל תהיה מסוגלת להעניש ?ראוי
אחת או כמה מהמדינות השכנות שלה,

אה גבולות המותר. שחוסר הנימוס שלהן לגבי

DO YOU WANT TO RECOVER ALL YOUR MONEY STOLEN FROM BINARY OPTIONS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENTS??? 

Errrrmagerrrd! Screams every second ad on the comment sections of every site. "Hello everyone! If you require the service of a professional hacker to help recover every penny of your lost funds easily in 2hrs with just a little amount of money bla bla bla... 

If you are reading this for that kinda thing, i am gonna tell it to you straight: this post isn't what you are looking for. Don’t waste the next 8 minutes of your life reading this, because none of these type of Ads “hacks” will save your lost fund with a little amount of money in 2hrs!! Instead you will be scammed again by low life scumbags! 

The costs will depend on the number and complexities of the systems you wish to have tested and how thorough a test you want to do. Naturally the large companies tend to be more expensive, but it is also a fair price. 

Of course, hiring someone to access any system you do not own of have permission to test is highly illegal almost everywhere. Doing to could end with a criminal record, hefty fine and jail time, so very few real hackers like us are willing to risk it without substantial remuneration.

You may find some people (even on here) claiming to be hackers. They will either:

take your money and not do anything

take your money and also steal your identity and try to empty your credit card and bank accounts
attempt to do a half-assed hack, get caught and turn you in because they are not good enough to hide their trail

Be law enforcement

These are good reasons for you to be careful hiring hackers anonymously. 

Hiring a hacker these days is a bit difficult because lots of people fall for scams. Does that mean there aren't real hackers online? NO definitely!!

You can either do two things:
You can either go to court or just hire a hacker at HackerOne. 

HackerOne is very familiar with the fraudsters' strategies and frequently can steer a course to a resolution through one way or another as there are often other organisations that facilitate, may be unwittingly, or are actually part of the deception.
The step of last resort, legal action, is understandably daunting for a person who often has lost significant amounts of money in this way. 
 HackerOne fully recognises that such an experience will leave a victim decidedly risk adverse. In order to off-set the risk HackerOne has developed strategies to combat the financial risks of litigation. 

HackerOne has a track record of recovery in relation to financial fraud, with many strategies and tactics to hack the fraudulent broker to restore funds to their former clients.
At HackerOne, we have different hackers up to any task.
