JOIN THE PROTEST TO FIRE MYERS!

W, 9/27, 6-7:30, at 15 W 16 St

ACTION ALERT! Wednesday, Sept. 27, 6:00-7:30 PM Wednesday, Oct. 18, 5:00-8:00 PM JOIN AFSI, JCCWATCH.ORG, OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, JEWISH LEADERS AND CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS TO PROTEST THE HIRING OF DAVID MYERS AS HEAD OF THE CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY (CJH) Americans for a Safe Israel/AFSI and JCCWatch.org have announced plans for demonstrations to be held at the Center for Jewish History on Wednesday, September 27, 6:00-7:30 PM and Wednesday, October 18, 5:00-8:00 PM, to protest the hiring of David Myers as President and CEO of the CJH. It is located at 15 West 16th Street between 5th & 6th Avenues, NYC.   Helen Freedman and Judy Freedman Kadish, Co-Executive Directors of AFSI, ask, "How was David Myers, former Professor at UCLA, selected to be President and CEO of such a prestigious institution as the Center for Jewish History? How does someone clearly aligned with Peace Now, the New Israel Fund, J Street, and BDS sympathizers, qualify for a position where five estimable institutions will be guided by his anti-Israel stance? Can a man who talks about the 'deep wound of the Naqba' and 'Israel's role in the dispossession of Palestinians' properly teach the history of the Jewish people? As a member of If Not Now, Myers called for a 'stop to the occupation of the West Bank.' How is it possible for someone who doesn't understand Israel's entitlement to its biblical promised land to be placed in a position of control over the Center for Jewish History?"   Richard Allen, founder and leader of JCCWatch.org, has called for "full disclosure as to who was behind the selection of David Myers as President and CEO of CJH." He states, "Hiring a clear foe of Israel and someone who distorts Jewish history, does the Jewish community a terrible disservice. Myers must be fired. There is no room in American Jewish leadership for anyone who supports a boycott of Israel." "We plan a series of protests, along with an advertising campaign to demand the public firing of Mr. Myers as President and CEO of The Center for Jewish History. Anyone who sits in a position of leadership for the New Israel Fund, J Street and If Not Now, is not a fit candidate for any position of Jewish leadership. The Jewish community will not remain silent with Jewish leaders who harm Israel." The Zionist Organization of America has published an in-depth analysis of Meyers positions on Israel, including his affiliations and involvements with anti-Israel organizations. They conclude that David Myers should not head the the Center for Jewish History ("CJH"), and should be removed from this post. ZOA: Hostile-to-Israel Propagandist David Myers Should Not Lead Center for Jewish History Join us Wednesday, September 27, 6:00-7:30 PM, and Wednesday, October 18, 5:00-8:00 PM, to demonstrate at the Center for Jewish History.
