Israel Center Lunch & Learn with Elai Rettig: Finding a Warm Jew” – Israel’s Use of the Jewish Diaspora as a Foreign Policy Tool
Elai Rettig, PhD, (Israel Institute Teaching Fellow in Israeli and Environmental Studies at WUSTL) explores the history of Israel’s foreign policy relationship with the US in this four-part series.
