SUMMARY:Fighting Antisemitism on College Campuses
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \n  \nAs bad as the state of affairs appeared on college campuses prior to the October 7th massacre of Israelis by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s terror proxy Hamas that included BDS resolutions and interrupting Jewish speakers at campus events\, the situation has gotten exponentially worse as antisemitism has exploded in ways many could never have imagined since that tragic day. The pathetic response – or lack thereof – by college presidents and other university administrators and boards of trustees\, as well as the Biden administration that opted not to enforce President Trump’s first term executive order intended to protect Jews on campus\, has in many ways greenlighted the terrorism supporters who seemingly have free rein to intimidate\, harass\, and assault Jewish students and faculty with little to no repercussions. With Trump back in office already signing new executive orders aimed at addressing this serious situation\, there is hope that serious changes will be taking place to protect the civil rights\, safety and security of Jews on campus.  Ken Marcus has been on the frontlines of civil rights matters addressing rising antisemitism on college campuses for much of his professional career including serving as the Assistant Secretary of Education for its Office of Civil Rights in Trump’s first term. Please join us for an in-depth conversation with Ken Marcus discussing the status of the fight against antisemitism on college campuses including through lawfare\, the filing of civil rights claims by victims with governmental agencies\, threats to pull federal funds\, the passage of the Antisemitism Awareness Act\, and the enforcement of rules and regulations that have been ignored to date. \nAbout the Speaker: \nKenneth L. Marcus is founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law; Professional Lecturer in Law at The George Washington University Law School; Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Center for Liberty & Law at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School; and author of The Definition of Anti-Semitism (Oxford University Press) and Jewish Identity and Civil Rights in America (Cambridge University Press). \nDuring his public service career\, Marcus served as Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education for Civil Rights; Staff Director at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights; and General Deputy Assistant U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. \nIn academia\, he formerly held the Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Chair in Equality and Justice in America at the City University of New York’s Bernard M. Baruch College School of Public Affairs and served as Visiting Research Professor of Political Science at Yeshiva University. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism and previously served as Associate Editor of the Journal for the Study of Anti-Semitism. \nEarlier in his career\, Mr. Marcus was a litigation partner in two major law firms\, where he conducted complex commercial and constitutional litigation. He also currently chairs the Executive Committee of the Federalist Society for Law & Public Policy Civil Rights Practice Group. \nHe has published widely in academic journals as well as in more popular venues such as The Wall Street Journal\, Washington Post\, Newsweek\, USA Today\, and Politico.  Mr. Marcus is a graduate of Williams College\, magna cum laude\, and the University of California at Berkeley School of Law.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Paradigm in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nPresident Donald Trump’s recent statements alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have introduced a dramatic shift in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump called for the resettlement of nearly 2 million Palestinians outside of Gaza. This proposal would mark a significant departure from previous diplomatic efforts\, effectively dismantling the two-state solution and cementing Israeli control over disputed territories\, including Judea and Samaria. Trump’s remarks suggest that America may soon recognize Israeli sovereignty in these areas\, further upending decades of negotiations based on the Oslo Accords. His approach builds upon his previous diplomatic breakthroughs\, such as the Abraham Accords\, and positions Israel as having secured a definitive victory against its adversaries\, including Hamas\, Hezbollah\, and Iranian-backed forces. \nThe implications of Trump’s proposal are far-reaching. If Palestinian resettlement occurs\, it would permanently alter the demographic and political landscape of the region\, strengthening Israel’s position. However\, questions remain about where displaced Palestinians would go and how neighboring Arab nations would react. While Netanyahu and Trump emphasize strength as the pathway to peace\, resistance from the international community and regional actors could complicate the plan. \nWhere do we go from here? If resettlement becomes the new reality\, how will the logistics be managed\, and which countries will accept large numbers of Palestinians? Will the U.S. and Israel provide economic incentives for resettlement\, and if so\, how will those be structured? If Arab nations reject the plan\, what alternatives exist for ensuring stability in the region? And ultimately\, will this approach lead to lasting peace\, or will it create new sources of conflict? \nAbout our Speaker: Alex Traiman is the CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief of the Jewish News Syndicate and host of Jerusalem Minute. A seasoned Israeli journalist\, documentary filmmaker\, and startup consultant\, he is an expert on Israeli politics and U.S.-Israel relations. He has interviewed top political figures\, including Israeli leaders\, U.S. senators\, and national security officials\, with insights featured on major networks like BBC\, Bloomberg\, CBS\, NBC\, Fox\, and Newsmax. A former NCAA champion fencer and Yeshiva University Sports Hall of Fame member\, he made aliyah in 2004 and lives in Jerusalem with his wife and five children.

SUMMARY:Voices from Gaza and from Syria
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nAs Israel has fought to dismantle much of Hamas’ infrastructure in Gaza\, and the international community is evaluating President Trump’s plan\, many in the foreign policy world have been wondering what the population itself in Gaza believes.  Although the totalitarian terrorist regime of Hamas\, which remains in control of the population\, has placed a sealed blockage of communication around the true feelings of the inhabitants\, Ahed and Hadeel work for an organization that has been able to send people into Gaza and document their actual feelings. They have created a platform for voices that otherwise would have been silenced\, and unknown to the outside world. \n\n\nBeyond that\, both Ahed and Hadeel are Syrian refugees who were imprisoned and tortured by the Bashar al-Assad regime for founding a secular\, anti-regime student organization. Come and hear their firsthand accounts of their experiences under Assad’s rule\, as well as their assessments of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the administration of Ahmed al-Sharaa (Mohammad al-Jolani). \nAhed is a senior fellow at the Center for Peace Communications\, has written for Foreign Affairs\, and has worked with Advancing Human Rights and the Extremist Watch Desk at Voice of America. \nHadeel Oueis is the director of Arabic Communications at the Center for Peace Communications. She majored in law and\, in 2011\, at the age of 18\, was arrested by the Assad regime for her key role in the early days of the Syrian protests. In 2012\, a U.S. delegation in Geneva met with Oueis and facilitated her relocation to the United States. She now analyzes U.S. policies in the Middle East for major Arabic networks and has reported extensively on the Jews of the Middle East for various Arabic publications. \nThe founder and President of the Center for Peace Communications\, Joseph Braude\, is an expert on the nexus of culture and politics in Arab societies and an active presence in the region’s media and policy debates. He studied Near Eastern languages at Yale and Arabic and Islamic history at Princeton. He developed his Arabic to broadcast quality over a seven-year stint on Moroccan national radio and added Persian to his Arabic and Hebrew as a graduate student at the University of Tehran.
