SUMMARY:Qatar’s Growing Influence in the United States
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nThe tiny gas-rich nation of Qatar has deftly exerted its influence on the education of our children stemming from our children’s education from kindergarten through 12th grade\,  to  our university campuses\, where billions in Qatari foreign funding have flown into our nation’s universities\, including  in particular\, to  Georgetown\, Harvard\, Cornell\, Northwestern\, University of Michigan\, Texas A and M and Carnegie Mellon. It has also exerted an oversized influence on our nation’s think tanks and policy makers\, and on our Western media. Qatar tailors its media arm\, Al Jazeera\, in English to appeal to a Western audience\, while Al Jazeera in Arabic serves as a mouthpiece for Hamas.  As Qatar exerts its influence on our nation’s Middle East Studies programs\, it simultaneously funds\, supports\, trains\, and hosts the leaders of Hamas in Doha. It has transferred more than 1.8 billion dollars to Hamas over the years. It uses a completely autocratic system\, run by Sunni Sharia law. Qatar has also been involved in brandishing its name\, utilizing well-paid lobbyists in Washington by hosting US influencers and trying to conceal their payment to their  lobbyists. \nQatar is also home to the Al Udeid air base\, where the US has more than 40\,000 military personnel. \nAbout our Speaker: Clare M.

SUMMARY:October 7th and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nBased on Dr. Rafael Medoff’s forthcoming book: The Road to October 7\, Hamas\, the Holocaust\, and the Eternal War Against the Jews. The Road to October 7 explores the conditions and ideologies that led to the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7\, 2023\, and its aftermath. It documents the rise of Hamas\, the indoctrination of Palestinian Arab children to hate and kill\, diplomatic decisions that enabled the assault\, and the spread of anti-Israel and antisemitic narratives across global institutions and media. It also analyzes how the Hamas massacre echoed earlier chapters of antisemitic violence—from medieval pogroms to Czarist Russia\, Ukraine\, the Holocaust\, and a century of Palestinian Arab terrorism. It draws connections between the universities in the United States that fostered ties with Nazi Germany in the 1930s and those that tolerated or supported pro-Hamas activism after October 7. The narrative sheds light on antisemitic education in Palestinian Arab society\, the emergence of pro-Hamas groups on U.S. campuses\, the failures of women’s and human rights organizations to respond to mass sexual violence\, and the global misinformation about Israel’s conduct in the ensuing war. October 7 is presented not as an isolated event\, but as a pivotal moment in the century-long Palestinian Arab war against Israel—and in the broader\, centuries-old international war against the Jewish people. \nAbout Our Speaker: Dr. Rafael Medoff is founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies\, in Washington\, D.C.\, and the author of more than 20 books about the Holocaust\, Zionism\, and Jewish history. Medoff received his PhD from Yeshiva University in New York City in 1991. Medoff has taught Jewish history at Ohio State University\, Purchase College of the State University of New York\, and elsewhere. Medoff has served on the editorial boards of American Jewish History\, Southern Jewish History\, Shofar and Menorah Review.
