AJC is appalled by a Russian Orthodox Church bishop’s assertion in Moscow that Jews were responsible for the deaths of Czar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, a year after the Bolshevik Revolution.
An AJC leadership delegation concluded nine days of consultations with senior government officials, policy analysts, business leaders, high-ranking military officers, U.S. diplomats, journalists and other interlocutors in several Arabian Gulf states.
Thank you for inviting me to join in this centenary celebration of the Balfour Declaration – a celebration of the practical wisdom of a war-time British Government, of the triumph of historical obligation over colonial expediency, of the long-delayed recognition of a people’s rightful inheritance.
