Inside The Middle East: A Conversation with Avi Melamed

Knowledge is Power! In a time of surging antisemitism and anti-Zionism, education remains our strongest defense. How does Hamas’s death-cult mindset fit into the broader Middle East reality? And for those of us outside that region’s culture, how can we truly grasp the forces behind Jew-hatred?

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Avi Melamed, hosted by Michelle Stravitz (CEO of AJMA) and Dr. Yair Lev. Let’s equip ourselves with the insight and context we need to stand firm against antisemitism—wherever it appears.
