SUMMARY:New York Event: "The Balfour Declaration: 100 Years Later"
DESCRIPTION:The New York Chapter of the Endowment for Middle East Truth\ninvites you to: \n“The Balfour Declaration: 100 Years Later”\nFeaturing: \nEdwin Black\nNew York Times Best Selling Author\n \nFriday\, October 20\, 2017\n12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.\n \nRSVP Required. Click Here. \nLunch to be served (all dietary restrictions observed) \nSpace is Limited. RSVP Required. Address will be provided upon RSVP. \nPlease bring a government issued photo ID to pass through security at the White & Case Desk. \n\nThe Balfour Declaration is an extremely important document that led to the establishment of the State of Israel. On October 20\, 2017\, EMET plans to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration by hosting an event highlighting the significance of the Balfour Declaration in today’s current climate\, and to express our continued support for the State of Israel. \nNovember 2\, 2017 will mark the 100 year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration\, the official British acknowledgment of the need for a national home for the Jewish people and the historical Jewish link to the land upon which the State of Israel would be established. British Foreign Secretary at the time\, Lord Arthur James Balfour\, wrote a concise letter to Lord Rothschild\, a leader of the Jewish community\, which expressed “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” \nThe great significance of the Balfour Declaration stems essentially from the drawing of most of the map of the Middle East\, by the great power of the time – Great Britain. The Balfour Declaration\, endorsed by the United States\, France and Italy\, formalized the international community’s recognition of a Jewish nation and constituted the first step toward the objective of political Zionism as outlined by Theodor Herzl and the First Zionist Congress in 1897. \nThirty years post-Balfour\, on November 29\, 1947 the United Nations voted to approve the partition resolution\, creating a Jewish and an Arab state in Palestine. The partition decision was accepted by Israel but rejected by the Arabs\, who responded to Israel’s declaration of independence with war. \nPresident Harry Truman made the United States the first nation on earth to recognize the newly-created Jewish State. Israel came into being on May 14\, 1948 not only as a Jewish state\, but also as a Democratic state. Like America\, Israel is one of the few countries that has known nothing other than democratic rule. Israel’s Declaration of Independence was drawn directly from the American Declaration of Independence\, promising full equality for religion\, creed\, race and sex. \nWe cordially invite you to participate in this celebration of the beginning of a Jewish homeland – Israel.

SUMMARY:NEW YORK CHAPTER EVENT: "The Multiple Assaults on Israel"
DESCRIPTION:When: Tuesday\, December 15th\, 2015\nTime: 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. \n$20 Entrance Fee\nFree for EMET Insider Members \nSpace is limited\, RSVP required. Address provided upon RSVP. \nRSVP Here \nFor more than two months\, Israel has been confronted by a wave of Palestinian terrorism in the form of stabbings\, car-rammings\, shootings\, and riots throughout the country.  The terror stems from the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) vicious campaign of incitement to violence.   Palestinians are encouraged to wage attacks against Israelis by PA President Mahmoud Abbas and PA officials\, PA-controlled TV\, and various clerics.  At the same time\, the international community is isolating the Jewish State\, from the European Union’s recent decision to impose guidelines on labels for Israeli products produced over the pre-1967 lines\, to the United Nations’ passage of a number of anti-Israel resolutions late last month.  And at our own universities\, the anti-Semitic Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions movement is continuing to grow among students and faculty. \nTo discuss the multiple onslaughts on Israel\, please join us as we hear from Asaf Romirowsky and Dr. Kenneth W. Stein. \nAbout Dr. Asaf Romirowsky \n\nDr. Asaf Romirowsky is the Executive Director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME).
