Israel advocacy programming

By Harvey Cohen, Israel Advocacy Committee Chair

As chair of the Israel Advocacy Committee (IAC) of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, please know our all-volunteer committee seeks to provide a broad view of the landscape in Israel and the Middle East. We deal with regional security, complex political nuances, shared society aspirations and the harsh nexus of antisemitism and anti-Israel forces as well as those bright qualities which make Israel so special.

IAC is here to educate and inspire our strong passion for Israel, mostly from Jewish leaders. Soon, I will invite you to hear from another voice for Israel.

What may be our final Zoom program of the season introduces us to a new, powerful voice to challenge our beliefs and thinking as we hear from internationally renowned Israeli Arab Muslim journalist, The Jerusalem Post’s Khaled Abu Toameh. I’ve been following his work and have found him to be a sober, solid advocate for a realistic future in this contentious neighborhood. How does this celebrated Israeli Arab see the difficulties and resolutions to these contentious challenges?

I believe this talk is well worth an hour of your time. Please mark your calendar now for Feb. 9 at noon. Details will follow.
