Great Conference!

MK Benjamin Netenyahu addresses the conference

I've only been at my internship for a few days, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm working on a bunch of great research projects, some on my own, and others that I picked up from previous researchers. I'm making a presentation next week on an Egyptian imam.

I had the pleasure of attending a fantastic conference yesterday, which was co-hosted by my employer. The amazing array of speakers included Israel's vice-Prime Minister, Tzipi Livni, and former Prime Minister Benyamin Netenyahu. Canada's former justice minister Irwin Cotler delivered a powerful address regarding the United Nations.

The influential people in the room added to the event. After a speaker criticized the European Union for funding anti-Israel groups, the Ambassador from Slovenia (current EU presidency holder) stood to deliver a response.

The conference was held at the David Citadel hotel.
