March 22 9 am
On March 10th, as plans were being quietly discussed for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords and become a reliable partner with Israel against the threat of a nuclear Iran, Israelis woke up to the news that Beijing had forged an agreement between Riyadh and Tehran. How is this being received in Jerusalem? How do the Israelis think this enters into their calculus about whether or not, if a red line is crossed, they should attack some of the Iranian nuclear installations? How does this change the overall geo-security situation for the state of Israel? Here to answer these questions is Ambassador Yoram Ettinger.

Prof. David Kertzer, Abraham Foxman, and Rabbi Cosgrove What did the Catholic Church, led by Pope Pius XII during World War II, know about the activities of Mussolini and Hitler, and what decisions were made by the church as Italy was enveloped in the war and the Holocaust unfolded throughout Europe? When faced with decisions of moral leadership, power, and more, how did the Church respond, and what were the consequences? Using newly opened Vatican archives as well as archives in Italy, Germany, France, the UK, and the US, Professor David Kertzer uncovers the conduct of the Church prior to and during World War II and examines the failure of the Pope to take a clear stand against fascism, Hitler's onslaught, and Nazi genocide. He will be joined by Abe Foxman, National Director Emeritus of the ADL. Together with Rabbi Cosgrove they will discuss these questions and more to gain a greater understanding of the Holocaust.

The Netanyahu government’s judicial overhaul not only
threatens to reshape Israel’s political system, but also poses
significant challenges to Israeli security. In addition to
undermining the country’s social cohesion and upending the
social contract between Israeli citizens and a democratic
government that serves as the basis for mandatory military
service, a weakened judicial system could threaten Israel’s
close security cooperation with the U.S. and other partners. It
would also remove barriers to expanding settlements and
furthering West Bank annexation, developments that would pose a
significant security burden.
Join us on Tuesday, March 28 at 1pm ET for an Israel Policy
Briefing with IDF Brigadier General (Res.) Yoni Shimshoni, a
member of Commanders for Israel’s Security and a research
affiliate at the MIT Security Studies Program, to understand how
the judicial overhaul stands to impact Israeli security.

FEATURING: Alyza Lewin - President of The Brandeis Center for
Human Rights Under Law
As the ADL just reported on Thursday, 2022 was the worst year in
US history for antisemitic incidents. They recorded 3,697
incidents-10 per day, (and those are the ones that they are
aware of.) What is most disturbing is that 494 of these took
place in kindergarten through 12th grade institutions. Over the
last few decades, we have witnessed the meteoric rise of
antisemitism on college campuses. Last year alone saw a 41%
increase in the number of antisemitic incidents on college
campuses according to the ADL. Many such incidents masquerade
under the thin veneer of anti-Israelism. Universities are the
incubators of ideas, and over the decades we have watched as the
virus of antisemitism has metastasized itself from the Middle
East programs, throughout the humanities and social sciences,
onto the campus and now are occupying the corridors of power in
foreign policy, and in business and industry.
From university campuses to the boardroom, the Louis D. Brandeis
Center for Human Rights under Law uses legal tools to address
this growing scourge. Join us to know your rights and learn how
the law can make a difference.

At the heart of the current controversy in Israel is the question: what should be the relationship between parliaments and courts in democratic societies? Should there be fundamental rights which parliaments have no power to abridge or power to abridge only by special procedures? Should there be areas of policy in which courts should have no power to intervene? And, if so, which?

Israel, despite its strength as a military force and nuclear power, relies heavily on its ally, the U.S. How supportive is the Biden Administration of Israel today? Regionally, Iran is about to become a nuclear power. Globally, both the Ukraine-Russian war and an increasingly expanding China, pose real threats to Israel’s security. Could Israel be plunged into a larger emerging global conflict?
