Media watchdog activist group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) will celebrate Israel’s 75th anniversary at its annual gala on June 4.

The event, at Pier Sixty on Chelsea Piers in New York City, will include a reception, awards, speeches and dinner.

Speakers will include legal analyst and political commentator Alan Dershowitz; Noa Tishby, former (and first) special envoy for combating antisemitism and the delegitimization of Israel Noa Tishby; and retired British officer Col. Richard Kemp.

CAMERA executive director Andrea Levin said that “it’s an occasion for leaders in the pro-Israel community to assemble and celebrate the marvel of Israel’s existence.”

Levin described CAMERA as open to “all who share our belief in the immeasurable importance of the Jewish state to the world and to the Jewish people.”

She noted the group’s more than 40 years of work, vowing that “we’re committed to continuing for as long as Israel is defamed in the public square.”

“In this political environment, he may be as reliable a supporter as possible that the Democratic caucus would sign off on for the position,” political science scholar Dan Schnur told JNS.
“Anyone who attempts to pose a threat or attack Israel will face devastating consequences,” said Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the global body.
The reversal “sends an unfortunate signal at a time of rising antisemitism and sustained efforts to isolate Israel economically,” Evan R. Bernstein, CEO of B’nai B’rith International, told JNS.
“I think they’re much more susceptible to being targeted if a public official wants to target them, if a community wants to target them,” Rep. Josh Gottheimer told JNS.
