The anti-Israel encampments that speedily sprang up at college campuses across the country were originally depicted as organic protests. But as they’ve metastasized, it’s become clear they are in fact well-funded, supplied, and tactically organized operations designed to make America’s campuses dangerous for Jewish students.

To explore the sources and motivations behind these violent protests, join JINSA for a webinar with NGO Monitor President Gerald Steinberg to discuss their latest report, The NGO Network Orchestrating Antisemitic Incitement on American Campuses, and editor of TheEditors.com, Ira Stoll, on his latest piece in the Wall Street Journal. This discussion will be moderated by JINSA’s Director of Research, Jacob Olidort.

Following Hamas’s deadly May 5 attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing which killed four IDF troops, and amid reports of the United States putting a hold on a munitions shipment to Israel and Hamas hastily agreeing to a ceasefire deal following Israel starting an evacuation of Palestinian civilians from Rafah, we invite you to a situational update on the war with JINSA Distinguished Fellow IDF MG (ret.) Yaakov Amidror. Blaise Misztal, JINSA’s Vice President for Policy, will moderate the conversation.

Following an apparent Israeli strike against a military facility in Iran on April 19, and with Congress passing a supplemental bill including vital military aid for Israel amid the IDF readying two reserve brigades for a likely imminent Rafah operation, join JINSA for a discussion about the latest regional developments with JINSA’s Distinguished Fellows IDF MG (ret.)

With Israeli, U.S., and other partner air defense cooperation largely thwarting Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack against Israel—a demonstration of the potential for deeper regional integration—and with Israel potentially responding to the attack soon, join JINSA for a discussion about the latest regional developments with its Distinguished Fellow IDF MG (ret.) Amikam Norkin and its Randi & Charles Wax Senior Fellow John Hannah. Ari Cicurel, JINSA’s Assistant Director of Foreign Policy, will moderate.

JINSA invites you to join us for a conversation with Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who recently returned from his third trip to Israel as a U.S. Senator during which he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials to discuss the United States’ and Israel’s shared priorities of destroying the Iran-backed Hamas terrorists and freeing the hostages still being held by them. He will discuss his tour of Kfar Aza Kibbutz, which he first visited in 2019 and was destroyed during the October 7th attacks; his experience meeting with soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and family members of individuals held hostage in Gaza; and ongoing debates in Congress on how best to sustain support for Israel in its ongoing war. Michael Makovsky, JINSA’s President and CEO, will moderate.

On April 13, Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles toward Israel, nearly all of which were intercepted by Israel’s multi-layered defense system and the U.S., U.K., Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This marks the Islamic Republic’s first direct attack on Israel from Iran since 1979. Israeli officials have warned of an imminent response on Iranian soil.

To discuss the attack and where Israel and the United States go from here, JINSA hosted a situational update with JINSA Distinguished Fellows Gen (ret.) Frank McKenzie, Jr., USMC and IDF MG (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, and JINSA’s Senior Vice President for Israeli Affairs, IDF MG (ret.) Yaacov Ayish. Michael Makovsky, PhD, JINSA’s President & CEO, moderated the conversation.

There’s some history here. On Sept. 14, 2019, drones launched from bases in western Iran struck oil refineries operated by Saudi Aramco at Abqaiq and Khurais, Saudi Arabia. The damage to global oil production was significant. The Iranians denied culpability, and the profiles their drones used made it easy to avoid the reality of a state-on-state attack. On Jan. 8, 2020, Iranian ballistic missiles, also launched from bases in western Iran, struck Al Asad air base in Iraq. This was a response to the Jan. 3 U.S. strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad. No U.S. troops at the base were killed, and heavy casualties were averted only because commanders on the ground anticipated the attack and repositioned forces accordingly. Iran claimed responsibility for this assault. Both these attacks seemed to represent a major escalation, a crossing of the Rubicon into the territory of attributable state-on-state attacks.

Following its mistaken strike last week that killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen, Israel’s military operations in Gaza have come under renewed criticism for being indiscriminate and causing massive civilian casualties. Yet, the civilian-to-terrorist casualty ratio in the Gaza war remains lower than previous, U.S.-led counter-terrorism operations and Israel continues to follow the laws of armed conflict, including taking responsibility for its mistakes. All while fighting an unprecedentedly complicated war.

Join JINSA for a discussion with urban warfare expert John Spencer and military legal expert Geoffrey Corn about the battlefield challenges Israel has confronted in Gaza, how the IDF has performed, and lessons for future conflicts.
