Frontpage Interview's guest today is Sarah Stern, Founder and President of the Endowment for Middle East Truth or EMET, a think tank and policy shop in Washington. She is the author of Saudi Arabia and the Global Islamic Terrorist Network: America and the West's Fatal Embrace, which will be coming out in paperback in June, and her think tank will be holding its annual dinner on June 21st. FP: Sarah Stern, welcome to Frontpage Interview. Let's begin with you sharing with us why you felt it necessary to launch another think tank in Washington. Tell us its purpose and what it does. Stern: I founded EMET when I had been the Director of Governmental Relations with the American Jewish Congress, and the AJC leadership asked me to lobby for the Gaza withdrawal in 2005. Stern: Yes Jamie, we see it as our mission to simply tell the un-doctored truth about Israel's proud struggle to survive, and the radical Islamist's war against Israel and the West. Stern: When I was with the American Jewish Congress, I started to lobby for a piece of legislation to try to correct the deeply entrenched anti-Israeli and anti-American biases in most, if not all, of the Middle Eastern Studies Departments in universities across our nation. This is the first I'm hearing of Ms. Stern and her fine efforts. It's especially gratifying to note that Ms. Stern is exposing the saudis for the cowardice and genocidal pathology.
