GOOD RIDDANCE!
DAVID MYERS QUITS
CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY

We are very pleased to learn that after one year in the position, David Myers has stepped down as President and CEO of the Center for Jewish History in NYC. He cited that he wanted to return to academic life in California and to avoid the frequent commute from NY to CA in order to be with his family.

AFSI was at the forefront of the campaign to fire Myers having led a major protest rally in the Fall of 2017. With the incredible support of JCC Watch leader, Richard Allen, an amazing radio campaign took place exposing Myers' connections to the anti-Israel New Israel Fund. Hundreds of AFSI members, JCC supporters, and coalition friends, and supporters attended the rally, seriously rattling the leadership at the CJH.
A video of Helen Freedman, AFSI's Co-Executive Director, speaking at the October 18, 2017 rally, can be found HERE.

We are requesting that the Center for Jewish History do a better job of vetting candidates to replace Myers. It is an absolute disgrace that someone as blatantly anti-Israel as Myers was chosen for this prestigious position. AFSI will be watching this closely.

Why do we continue to do what we do? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once explained, "We must not cave into the pressure, [we must] expose the lies and attack the attackers..."

Read today's excellent Jewish Press OpEd by AFSI colleagues Hank Sheinkopf, George Birnbaum and Ronn Torossian, who first blew the whistle on David Myers.
The Missed Opportunity of the Century

Netanyahu is secretly pushing for the surrender of neighborhoods in northern and eastern Jerusalem. The outlines of the American Deal of the Century explain why the cabinet decision on normalizing the outposts was torpedoed. Netanyahu is enabling a vacuum to exist so that it will be possible to transfer most of the area to the Palestinians.

Trump's Peace Plan: Inspiration or Delusion?

Regarding the soon to be released peace plan, Jared Kushner said, "We will release our peace plan and the Palestinian people will actually like it because it will lead to new opportunities for them to have a much better life."

We believe this is delusional since Palestinian culture has perpetuated genocidal hatred against Jews, along with lies about Palestinian origins and identity based on attempted theft of Jewish history and identity.

Can the PA be serious about peace when the highest paid terrorist is getting a raise? The mother of four sons, all serving life sentences for their terrorist murders, along with another son killed while being arrested for terrorism, is constantly being celebrated as a role model for PA mothers. She receives thousands of dollars in payments from the PA for this murderous activity. Intolerable. Report HERE.
We're Not Surprised

The UN Secretary General's latest report on the implementation of sanctions against Iran states "troubling, but not surprising, evidence that Iran has‎ and continues to violate UN Security Council resolutions by shipping weapons across the Middle East, blatantly defying travel bans, and providing support to terrorist organizations destabilizing the region," American UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said last week.

But the Iranian people are rebelling against this government that ignores their need for water, for a stable economy, and for the needs of the country. They want an Iran First movement, with Iran moving away from supporting terrorism in the PA and Syria, and concentrating on its citizens. We're hoping for their success.

Israel Helping Syrian Refugees

Thousands of Syrian civilians are fleeing a concerted effort by the Syrian regime's forces to defeat the rebels in southern Syria. Israel has offered humanitarian aid and medical treatment to Syrian refugees massing on its northeastern border, even as the IDF maintains its official stance of neutrality in the ongoing civil war.
Sderot Under Attack
Your Support is Needed

Sderot, Israel has been experiencing one emergency after another. From rockets being fired out of Gaza to an unexpected rainstorm that caused intense flooding, the people of Sderot are suffering. Chabad of Sderot has jumped in to help with supplies for the IDF soldiers as well as those in shelters and those affected by the floods. Learn how you can help to continue supporting the people of Sderot!
