The Middle East Forum presents this week's webinars.
The Sinister Legacy of Soviet Anti-Israel Propaganda
with Izabella Tabarovsky
The contemporary Left makes extensive use of tropes and slogans that originated in the Soviet Union's anti-Israel propaganda of the 1967-91 era. In the wake of Israel's Six Day War victory, the USSR made "International Zionism" a primary ideological enemy and devoted massive resources to fighting it. What specific ideas did Moscow spread? How did it do so? What audiences did it target? How do these ideas continue to influence events today?

How the "Islamophobia" Accusation Damaged Me
with Collin May
Collin May was director of the Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) in Alberta, Canada until his positive review of a book by MEF's Efraim Karsh caused him to be ousted in September 2022 on the grounds of “Islamophobia.” He is now suing the province of Alberta, charging that his ouster had nothing to do with the book review but with his intent to investigate “a culture of pervasive sexual harassment and bullying” at the AHRC under its previous leadership. How has “Islamophobia” become a tool of political warfare available to all? What impact does May’s ouster have on free speech in Canada? What can be done?
