IsraPundit

 

 Did you want me to delete the stuff under He advises?

These days, everyone wants to understand Arab and Muslim culture, religion and goals.

 

Prof Mordechai Kedar, Bar-Ilan University, in Israel will be in North America from January 13/11 to February 14/11 and is available to be booked for lectures

 

His lectures are about the Middle East, Israel and the Middle Eastern environment, the struggle over Jerusalem, Antisemitism in the Islamic world, Islam and the Arab world in general, etc. Please see the list of topics below.

 

You might have watched his interview in al-Jazeera about the right of Jews to build in Jerusalem          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHpMhAzj-Tk

 

Dr. Kedar would like to offer his lectures to any organization, Jewish, Christian, academic or private. He does not need 5 star hotel, he flies in economy class and his fee is reasonable.


 

If you have any idea or suggestion, please let me know.
