SUMMARY:Antisemitism: How We Arrived Here & Where To Go Now
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nWhy are Jews hated? What are the elements of Jew hatred today? Why does this hate persist\, now reaching record highs? What should we do about it? \nThese central questions are addressed in the presentation “Antisemitism and the Nature of Jew Hate\,“ from the Confronting Antisemitism Network (CAN). It is designed to educate and open minds to understanding the world’s oldest hate\, in the belief that we can’t hope to stop it if we don’t understand it first. \nCAN’s presentation is unlike traditional presentations on this subject. It’s not about the Holocaust\, or ancient history. It offers both a model of how hate evolves as well as practical steps to sanction hateful acts in order to modify the haters’ behaviors and get them to stop. \nThrough addressing hard questions\, CAN works to empower people everywhere to recognize and push against hate when they encounter it. \nAbout our Speakers:  \n\nTony Katz is a Jewish civil rights activist and advocate. During his 45 year career\, he supported causes and issues in Washington DC and New York City at the executive leadership levels in the strategic communications and reputation management industry – for respected client institutions\, industry trade associations\, and Fortune 500 companies. In 2020 he founded CAN to help in the fight against antisemitism. \nAvi Goldwasser is a social activist and film producer. He is a cofounder of both the David Project supporting Jewish students on college campuses and the Jewish leadership project\, working to develop strong Jewish leaders. He was a member of the Boston Board of Directors of the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Community Relations Council. He was also a financial executive in the high-tech industry\, serving as CFO for NYSE companies.

SUMMARY:Colonel Richard Kemp and the Morality of the War
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \n  \nEver since October 7th\, Colonel Richard Kemp has been on the ground in Israel\, in Gaza\, and in the terror tunnels throughout Lebanon. He\, undoubtedly\, has been one of Israel’s strongest advocates within the international community.  How do the actions of Israel during this long war stack up against those of other nations who have been attacked and are forced to fight within an urban combat setting? \nHow is Israel able to achieve its war goals\, with members of the international community parroting Hamas’ numbers and their exaggerated humanitarian claims? After 20 months\, will the Israeli people still have the will to continue to fight its war on seven fronts? Can we defeat a radical terrorist ideology? How important is the success of this war to the defeat of antisemitism? \nAnd finally: How would he advise the government of Israel while facing down the existential threat of an Iranan nuclear bomb? \nAbout Colonel Richard Kemp \n Colonel Richard Kemp has spent most his life fighting terrorism and insurgency\, commanding British troops on the front line of some of the world’s toughest hotspots\, including Afghanistan\, Iraq\, the Balkans and Northern Ireland. He is now a writer\, a prolific journalist\, media commentator and motivational speaker. He provides strategic consultancy services on leadership\, security\, intelligence\, counter-terrorism and defense. \nRichard was sent to Kabul\, Afghanistan in 2003 to take command of British Forces in Afghanistan. Realizing that there was an increasing terrorist threat\, but no resources or plans in place to deal with it\, he immediately put together an unconventional force of British troops and US Marines. They begged\, borrowed and stole equipment to gain intelligence and launch covert surveillance. Writing about Richard\, the Canadian general commanding international forces at the time said: “His efforts led directly to the most successful offensive counter-terrorist operations in Kabul\, with several key terrorist leaders now under arrest\, significantly setting back the enemy campaign.” Along the way\, Richard helped to disarm local warlords\, trained the fledgling Afghan army and police and even played a part in preventing a coup d’état against President Hamid Karzai. \nRichard joined the British Army the day after he left school\, and spent the next 30 years in some of the world’s most notorious trouble spots.  In 1993 he was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen for intelligence work in Northern Ireland. Most of the last five years of Richard’s military career were spent in Downing Street as head of the international terrorism team at the Joint Intelligence Committee\, where he was responsible for producing assessments on the growing global terrorist problem for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. \nColonel Kemp is a frequent contributor to television and print media\, and is the author of Attack State Red\,  with Chris Hughes\, and account of the Afghanistan campaign undertaken by the Royal Anglican Regiment.  Colonel Kemp is Chairman of the UK Friends of the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel’s Soldiers (UK-AWIS)\, the UK branch of AWIS\, an Israeli organization managed by the Israel Defense Forces and headed by General Yoram Yair. Colonel Richard Kemp was a 2017 recipient of EMET’s coveted “Speaker of the Truth Award.”

SUMMARY:The State of the Relationship Between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \nAs all of you are aware by now\, Israel has embarked upon “Operation Rising Lion”\, striking out against the heart of the Iranian nuclear threat against Israel. As Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared\, “We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense.”  He also said on Thursday night\, “Tonight\, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.” \nHowever\, President Trump did declare on Friday morning that “The United States will defend Israel\, if attacked.” \nThe United States was certainly made aware of what was about to occur. They had enough time on Thursday to remove non-essential employees  and diplomatic families from the Middle East. \nAs well all are aware \, since the Islamic Revolution of 1979\, The Islamic Republic of Iran has described Israel as “The Minor Satan” and the United States as “The Great Satan.” There certainly is evidence that the Islamic Republic has been working on intercontinental ballistic missiles.  However\, Israel had acted totally on its own\, on Thursday evening\, and we\, in Israel have been advised to stay close to our shelters\, and are in for a long\, hard campaign. \nIsrael is fighting an existential war today\, but Iran could try to strike at the United States tomorrow. Israel destroyed the Natanz nuclear facility\, and eliminated its top IRGC Commanders\, unaware in their homes\, as well as its top nuclear scientists. \nWhat has happened to the strength of the relationship between the United States and Israel? Is the United States simply relying on Israel to protect its national security interests\, and those of the entire civilized\, free world? \nAre reports of a chilling of relations accurate? What about the reports of the President’s relationship with isolationist influencers\, such as Tucker Carlson\, Candace Owens and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene? \nAnd finally: Israel is fighting an existential war on 7 fronts\,  but the “head of the snake” has always been Tehran. Recent reports from the IAEA say that Iran has enough highly enriched uranium for at least  9 to10  nuclear bombs. Israel does not have the strategic depth to absorb even one bomb.  Does the United States understand that Israel is simply the appetizer\, and that Iran is working on intercontinental ballistic missiles to reach its main course\, the United States\, as well as certain American military installations in the Middle East? Will the United States run out of patience with Iran and assist Israel in its existential struggle? And finally:  Will this US administration provide Israel with the weapons they need to succeed against Iran? \nAbout Our Speaker: Ruthie Blum\, a former adviser at the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\, is an award-winning columnist and a senior contributing editor at JNS\, and a former features editor of the Jerusalem Post\, and the acclaimed author of “To Hell in a Handbasket: Carter\, Obama and the Arab Spring.” Ruthie is a co-host with Ambassador Mark Regev of the JNS-TV podcast “Israel Undiplomatic.” She often writes on Israeli politics and U.S.-Israel relations. Originally from New York\, she moved to Israel in 1977. She is a regular guest on national and international media outlets\, including Fox\, Sky News\, i24News\, Scripps\, ILTV\, WION and Newsmax.
