This has been perhaps the most challenging time to represent the state of Israel. In a blatant perversion of truth and morality, Israel, in the eyes of far too many in elite institutions of the West, has been held responsible for the kidnapping, rape torture, and murder of more than 1200 innocent people from within its borders by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, 2023. Antisemitism has seen a 400 percent rise in attacks, particularly on our college campuses.
Through it all, Ambassador Michael and Mrs. Shirin Herzog have represented the state of Israel with veracity, candor, sincerity, and dignity. Please watch their remarks as they were honored at our 2024 “Rays of Light in the Darkness Dinner.”
