Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, held two talks before a standing room only crowd. The first topic disputed erroneous assertions that the Israeli-Palestinian issue is the primary conflict in the Middle East, and presented evidence that American support for Israel is not a primary factor in Islamic terrorism against the U.S.

The second topic, entitled “Voodoo Demographics”, Amb. Ettinger discussed how the Palestinians have successfully duped world demographers into grossly inflating the number of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria. Ettinger utilized evidence from a new demographic study to demolish the false but common wisdom that Israel must surrender land if it is to maintain a majority Jewish population.

This event was extremely well attended.
