Judah ben Abraham Zarko (Hebrew: יהודה בן אברהם זרקו) was a 16th-century Greek Hebrew poet. Born at Rhodes, he lived for a few years at Salonika where he joined the Ḥakme ha-shir (lit. ’Sages of Poetry’) literary circle.During a residence at Constantinople Zarko wrote his maqama Sefer leḥem Yehudah (Constantinople, 1560), which contains an allegory on the soul, metrical and non-metrical poems, and epigrams directed against Maimonides and Judah Sabara. A letter written by him to congratulate Joseph Hamon on his marriage is given at the beginning of the anonymously-compiled Hebrew style-book Sefer yefeh nof, and some of his shorter poems were published by Hirsch Edelmann in his Dibre ḥefetz (London, 1853).

Quotes by Isaac Yeffet

After Lockerbie, everyone thought, now we’ve learned the lesson of how to be proactive instead of being reactive. Unfortunately, September 11 came and we know the result. Thousands of people lost their lives. Security totally failed, not at one airport, at three different airports around the country.

As the head of security for an airline, I can’t ask my passengers to risk their lives and jump on a terrorist. This is why we need air marshals on every flight.

Isaac Yeffet

Now we are using the body scanner to scan the pilots. They became the dangerous people of this country?

Isaac Yeffet

Realize that a Muslim will know that his wife was seen naked in this machine. You know what would be the reaction?… Terrible. I believe there’s technology out there that can identify bomb-type materials without necessarily, overly invading our privacy.

Isaac Yeffet

Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.

There is no comparison between the training here and the training in Israel.

There is only so much negotiating and maneuvering that can be done while the aircraft is under siege in mid-air. Therefore, the best way to put a stop to hijacking is by having high levels of security implemented by qualified and trained personnel both on the ground and in the air.

They can argue whatever they want. The problem is, when you interview every passenger, during the interviews you are looking for – you profile – you do profiling, to find the suspicious ones and put them out from the rest of the passengers.

Isaac Yeffet

We have an illusion of security, we don’t have security.

Isaac Yeffet

We know that the airports are not protected as they should be protected. The terminals are public areas, wide open – anyone can go and walk at any terminal he wants.

Isaac Yeffet

We need to put undercover security armed people at the curbside of the terminal with the uniform of policemen. We need to protect the terminal. We need to protect the security checkpoint, the gate, the aircraft, the perimeter.

Isaac Yeffet

Why we cannot build a system like El Al to be proactive. Why do we have only to react? The shoe bomber – reaction? Take off your shoes. The Nigerian – the body scanner is a result of the Nigerian guy.
