SUMMARY:How has The Islamic Republic Gotten to This Place?
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nBy now\, we all know that thousands of courageous protesters have been murdered by the fierce forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The government has successfully blocked the internet and phone calls out of the country\, so it is impossible to know any approximate number. We also know that these protesters came armed with nothing more than their voices\, their passion and their bodies\, while the Islamic Republic armed the IRGC\, the thugs of the Basij\, their army and their police with lethal weapons. This has amounted to the largest mass uprising since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. \nWe also know that after President Trump had posted on Truth Social “Iranian Patriots\, keep protesting…take over your institutions!!! Help is on its way”\, Trump has suddenly changed his mind. He has now said that “The killing has stopped.” \nWhy is that? How have we gotten to this point? What is the history behind the Islamic Revolution? What did President Carter say and do? What did President Obama say and do? Why do we sometimes see footage of scores upon scores of bodies laid out in row after row on our cellphones? Which Arab allies have spoken to President Trump\, and what are they actually after? Is it still possible to retrieve a democracy\, or even a benign monarchy in Iran? \nAt the end of the day\, which side of history is the United States on? \nAnd finally: We often hear about what the United States offers Israel\, but isn’t this a two-way street? What does Israel offer the United States for our survival\, in the West? \nIn order to answer these questions and more\, we are delighted to welcome back to an EMET webinar\, Ambassador Yoram Ettinger. \n About our  Speaker: Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger is an insider on US-Israel relations\, the Islamic Republic of Iran\, Mideast politics\, and overseas investments in Israel’s high tech.  He is a member of the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)\, which has documented dramatic flaws behind demographic fatalism on one hand and a Jewish demographic momentum on the other hand. \nHe is a consultant to members of Israel’s Cabinet and Knesset\, and regularly briefs US legislators and their staff on Israel’s contribution to vital US interests\, on the root causes of international terrorism and other issues of bilateral concern. \nAmbassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger’s OpEds have been published in Israel and in the US\, and he is frequently interviewed on Israel’s and the US’ TV and radio. \nAmbassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger – who did his graduate studies at UCLA and undergraduate at the University of Texas El Paso\, and has served as Minister for Congressional Affairs at Israel’s Embassy in Washington (with the rank of an Ambassador)\, Israel’s Consul General in Houston and Director of Israel’s Government Press Office.  He is the editor of Straight From The Jerusalem Cloakroom and Boardroom newsletters on issues of national security and overseas investments in Israel’s high-tech.

SUMMARY:Iran’s Strategy for Attacking Israel and the United States
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe transcript will be available here.  \nEarly Sunday morning\, the Iranian proxy Hezbollah attempted once more to attack the state of Israel with scores of rockets and missiles aimed at Tel Aviv and central Israel. Since October 8th\, there have been more than 7\,500 rocket\, drone and missile attacks against the state of Israel from Hezbollah.  The IDF responded by launching counter- strikes\, intercepting the incoming missiles\, and preemptively striking out against the Hezbollah missile launchers. \nHezbollah\, which is just north of Israel’s border\, is just one of the many tentacles of the Iranian octopus. Iran has had a 14-century feud against the oil-producing Sunni state of Saudi Arabia. This has only increased the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. As Saudi Arabia has been developing stronger ties-albeit under the table-with the state of Israel\, why has the Islamic Republic of Iran been singularly focused on eroding the US relationship with Saudi Arabia? What is their strategy to take over the Saud oil refineries? What is the Islamic Republic’s vision of its role in the region and in the world? How much of a presence does Hezbollah have in Latin America and how does that undermine US national security interests. \nHere to answer these questions and more is Ambassador Yoram Ettinger. \nAbout Our Speaker: Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger is an insider on US-Israel relations\, Mideast politics and overseas investments in Israel’s high tech.  He is a member of the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)\, which has documented dramatic flaws behind demographic fatalism on one hand and a Jewish demographic momentum on the other hand. \nHe is a consultant to members of Israel’s Cabinet and Knesset\, and regularly briefs US legislators and their staff on Israel’s contribution to vital US interests\, on the root causes of international terrorism and on other issues of bilateral concern. \nAmbassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger’s Op-eds have been published in Israel and in the US\, and he has been interviewed on Israel’s and US’ TV and radio.  He was a speaker at AIPAC Annual Conference. \nAmbassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger – who did his graduate studies at UCLA and undergraduate at UTEP – served as Minister for Congressional Affairs at Israel’s Embassy in Washington (with a rank of an ambassador)\, Israel’s Consul General in Houston and Director of Israel’s Government Press Office.  He is the editor of The Ettinger Report\, which focuses on issues of national security.

SUMMARY:A Potential Palestinian State: Will It Be an Ally or Enemy of the United States?
DESCRIPTION:  \n[READ TRANSCRIPT HERE] \n  \nAfter the worst massacre of Jews on a single day since the Holocaust\, many members of the international community have arrived at a single-factor conclusion of how to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, combined with grandiose plans of how to finally bring peace to the Middle East: the rewarding of this violence with the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state\, stretching from Judea and Samaria\, (the West Bank) through Gaza. The “dusting off” of this solution\, which has been tried\, stretches back to the 1937 Peel Commission\, the 1947 UN Partition Plan\, the 1967 Khartoum Conference\, the Oslo Accords of 1993\, the Roadmap for Peace in 2002\, and the Gaza Withdrawal of 2005. \nBefore we launch into this\, it is important to explore the following questions: Have the Palestinians behaved as a friend or ally to the United States in the past? How have the Palestinians behaved in their host Arab countries? Have they been a stabilizing influence or a destabilizing influence? What have the Palestinians\, themselves expressed in terms of their affinity towards Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad\, as opposed to the “so-called” more moderate groups of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah\, and what is the real distinction between them? If established\, how stable would a Palestinian Authority government be? \nHere to answer these questions and more is Ambassador Yoram Ettinger. \nAbout the Speaker: Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger is an insider on US-Israel relations\, Mideast politics and overseas investments in Israel’s high tech.  He is a member of the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)\, which has documented dramatic flaws behind demographic fatalism on one hand and a Jewish demographic momentum on the other hand. \nHe is a consultant to members of Israel’s Cabinet and Knesset\, and regularly briefs US legislators and their staff on Israel’s contribution to vital US interests\, on the root causes of international terrorism and on other issues of bilateral concern. \nAmbassador (ret.)

SUMMARY:Israel at War!
DESCRIPTION:[READ TRANSCRIPT HERE] \nThis webinar was generously sponsored by Donna Gary in loving memory of her husband Stuart Hunter Gary \nAfter the sadistic\, savage Hamas attacks of October 7th\, Israel has had little option but to respond with force against Hamas-controlled Gaza. Is the war that Israel is engaged in against Hamas simply another Israel-Palestinian war\, or are there wider implications for all of us\, in the West? To what degree is Iran involved in this war? How intent is Iran to stay out of this war\, and to what degree are the Iranian proxies\, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria and the Houthis in Yemen\, willing to get involved in this war? There are approximately 40\,000 US troops\, right now in the Middle East\, to what degree are they at risk? What are the prospects of this becoming a wider war? \nHere to answer this and more is Ambassador Yoram Ettinger. \nAbout the Speaker: Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger is an insider on US-Israel relations\, Mideast politics and overseas investments in Israel’s high tech.  He is a member of the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)\, which has documented dramatic flaws behind demographic fatalism on one hand and a Jewish demographic momentum on the other hand. \nHe is a consultant to members of Israel’s Cabinet and Knesset\, and regularly briefs US legislators and their staff on Israel’s contribution to vital US interests\, on the root causes of international terrorism and on other issues of bilateral concern. \nAmbassador (ret.)
