JCCWATCH.ORG & AMERICANS FOR A SAFE ISRAEL (AFSI)

TO PROTEST AT CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY

 

Phone Call and Letter Writing Campaign To Board members

-         

JCCWatch.Org, & Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI), activist organizations have announced plans to hold a protest outside of The Center for Jewish History, following the revelation that Dr. David N. Myers, the organization's incoming CEO and President, is a major supporter of groups that promote the boycott of Israel.

 

"We plan in the immediate future, a rally outside of The Center of Jewish History to demand that Dr. Myers be removed as President and CEO of The Center for Jewish History.  Anyone who sits in a position of leadership for the New Israel Fund, Jewish Voices of Peace, and If Not Now, When is not a fit candidate for any position of Jewish leadership," said Richard Allen, Founder of JCCWatch.Org.   "We don't dispute Dr. Myers' academic credentials,  but the Jewish community will not remain silent while Jewish leadership works to harm Israel".

 

JCCWatch.Org & Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI) are currently enlisting communal support and expect a large number of organizations and Rabbis to call for Dr. Myers' removal as President and CEO of The Center for Jewish History.
