“Iran’s nuclear program provides the means for the country to re-establish some of its power. It will not fully reverse what they have lost but it will help counter it. Nuclear weapons will not make Iran omnipotent but will make it a powerful country. Iran is not giving up and it is confident about finding answers. The Iranian regime is telling its people that it is not done yet. A nuclear weapon would allow them to continue their brutal regime. So, the nuclear program is the game now for Iran.”
-David Wurmser of the Center for Security Policy in Washington
and the Misgav Institute in Jerusalem, January 8, 2025

Tracing over two decades of data, including that of the ADL, Dr. Andrew Bostom has proven that the most widespread form of antisemitism confronting Jews today emanates from outside of the Muslim world. Dr. Bostom also ascertains the etiologies of both Sunni and Shiite Islam, and delineates the explosion of global as well as domestic Muslim antisemitism since October 7, 2023.
About our Speaker: Andrew G. Bostom, MD, MS, is the author of The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims ([link removed]) , The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History ([link removed]) , Sharia versus Freedom: The Legacy of Islamic Totalitarianism ([link removed]) and other books and essays on Islam. His research focus has been on the impact of Islamic conquest, colonization, and governance on non-Muslims.
