"As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our life will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs."

Many of us have been concerned with some of the Biden administration's appointments in terms of Iran negotiations and the primacy they might place on the Palestinian issue, versus Israel's newly-formed friendships with their Sunni Arab allies.

How valid are these concerns? How can the American Jewish community mitigate potential harm to Israel? Few Americans know as much about American-Israeli diplomatic history as Ambassador Yoram Ettinger.

------------------------------------------------------------

Yoram Ettinger is the President of America-Israel Opportunities, Ltd, a consultancy on US-Mideast policy and inter-Arab affairs. He regularly briefs, consults with and is interviewed by legislators, journalists, professors and students, clergy, civic organizations, and businesses.

He is co-founder of the America-Israel Demographic Research Group, which documented a 1 million gap in the number of Arabs in Judea & Samaria, refuting the myth of the "Arab demographic time bomb" and documenting an unprecedented Jewish demographic tailwind.

Ettinger served as Minister for Congressional Affairs with the rank of Ambassador at Israel's Embassy in Washington, D.C.; Director of Israel's Government Press Office; Israel's Consul General to the Southwestern USA, based in Houston, Deputy Director of the US Cultural Center in Jerusalem, information officer at Israel's Consulate General in Los Angeles; the Alabama Trade Representative in Israel (1997-2000). He was also the editor of the "Contemporary Mideast Backgrounder," disseminated to thousands of policymakers and public opinion molders in five languages.
