At an event this week where we met The Honorable Ayoob Kara, we learned how important it is to lobby for the fight against the BDS movement and the boycott of Israel. The introductory speaker wasn't exaggerating when he reminded us that it was 20 yrs of propaganda denigrating Jews and minorities that enabled Germany to invent genocide. As Mr. Kara was essential to the success of the Abraham Accords, we heard more about these historic agreements and learned that there are at least 10 more Arab states willing to sign agreements with the Israelis. It's up to the new Israeli govt. to actively pursue this along with the Biden administration.
