The Endowment for Middle East Truth invites you to: "The Disappearance and Probable Murder of Jamal Khashoggi" Call-In Number (712) 432-0075 Participant Code: 397784 Recently, Jamal Khashoggi, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and a resident of the U.S., walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, intending to get paperwork that would allow him to marry his Turkish fiancée. He hasn't been seen in public since. Khashoggi was a former Saudi royal insider who became a critic of the current Saudi leadership, especially Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In the U.S., Khashoggi became a columnist for the Washington Post. Saudi Arabia has claimed that Khashoggi left the consulate unharmed. However, Turkish authorities claim they have audio and visual evidence that shows Jamal Khashoggi was tortured and killed inside the consulate in Istanbul. According to CNN, a foreign intelligence service has found the nature of the evidence, which was provided in a briefing from Turkish officials, to be "shocking and disgusting." The Washington Post has reported of that evidence…

The Endowment for Middle East Truth invites you to a Phone Seminar: "Jews Make the Best Demons: 'Palestine' and the Jewish Question" Wednesday, December 19th, 2018 12:00pm - 1:00p.m. (Eastern Time) Call-In Number (712) 432-0075 Participant Code: 397784    Featured guest speaker:  Eric Rozenman   Shortly before murdering 11 Jews at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27, the accused killer posted online that “Jews are the spawn of Satan” and derided the United States as “Z.O.G.”—Zionist-occupied government. A few days after the mass murder, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan reinforced his high-profile antisemitism—bigotry some members of Congress and members-elect have difficulty rejecting—by again denouncing “Satanic Jews” and “devilish Zionists.” On October 22, New English Review Press published Eric Rozenman’s new book, Jews Make the Best Demons: “Palestine” and the Jewish Question. In it Rozenman, now at the Washington, D.C.-based Jewish Policy Center and former editor of B’nai B’rith’s International Jewish Monthly and of the Washington Jewish Week, spotlights how anti-Zionism has become the gateway drug for resurgent antisemitism. He also demonstrates the…

The Endowment for Middle East Truth invites you to a Capitol Hill Seminar: "Trump's Palestinian-Israeli Peace Plan: What's in It, What It Means" Thursday, February 7, 2019 12:00pm - 1:00p.m. (Eastern Time)0 US Capitol Visitor's Center Featured guest speakers: RSVP HERE Ever since he was elected, President Trump has told us that he has a long awaited “Ultimate Deal” to finally bring peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Rumors and speculation abound about what exactly is in the details. We have seen that certainly since the administration of President Bill Clinton, each president, and several Israeli Prime Ministers have tried to offer the Palestinians progressively more and more land, and each time the Palestinians have walked away from the table, only to be met with a renewed round of violence. However, one cannot be too certain that the Palestinians will continue to follow this pattern of rejecting the offer that an Israeli Prime Minister might make and an American President might mediate. What precisely is and is not in the details,…

RSVP HERE Israel acts as America's linchpin in the Middle East, serving as a source of stability and strength in the increasingly volatile region. Ever since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jewish State has been a natural ally of the US; it is the only Democracy in the Middle East, shares the same Western values, and has many of the same national security interests. Both Israel and America are in a fight against radical Islam, are working to oppose the hegemonic Iranian ambitions in the Middle East, and seek to curb the spread of Islamic terrorism. Israel provides significant intelligence to the U.S., and its strategic location has been vital for…
