Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Prof. Jonathan Rynhold, author of the award-winning “The Arab-Israeli Conflict in American Political Culture,” will cut through the rhetoric from both sides and analyze for us what a win for either candidate should mean for Israel.
Jonathan Rynhold is deputy head of the Department of Political Studies and director of the Argov Center for the Study of Israel and the Jewish People at Bar-Ilan University. He is also a senior researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies.
He has a Ph.D. in International Relations from the London School of Economics and was in 2012-13 the Schusterman Visiting Professor of Israeli Politics at the George Washington University in Washington DC.
His research focuses on US-Israeli relations, Israel and the peace process, and the role of political culture in International Relations. His book ‘The Arab-Israeli Conflict in American Political Culture’ won the Israeli Association for Political Science prize for the best book of 2015.
He also took a leading role in combating the academic boycott of Israel in the UK, and has served as an advisor to the Israeli Foreign Ministry and Diaspora Jewish organizations on combating the BDS movement.
The Menachem Begin Heritage Center is the official state memorial commemorating Menachem Begin, Israel’s sixth Prime Minister. The Center is located on the Hinnom Ridge, overlooking Mount Zion and walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.
