“As President of the Y&S Nazarian Family Foundation and Chair of the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies Community Advisory Board, I would like to take a moment to respond to UCLA anti-Israel protesters calling for the boycott of the Nazarian Center for Israel Studies.

And this is why so many former Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa are currently experiencing a great deal of relived trauma and fear....

This is huge news for JIMENA as we've been blowing whistles on how Department of State allows governments like Yemen, Iraq, and Libya to claim ownership over properties that were stolen from Jews as they were ethnically cleansed. Thank you to Joe Wilson for your moral clarity…

Thank you to the The White House for explicitly condemning the use of the term 'intifada' by anti-Israel protestors on campus. Unlike too many university presidents, President Biden understands that calling for violence against a group of people is always wrong - it's not 'context-dependent.'

Not a campus encampment but camping on my Indigenous land on the Judean Hills📍🇮🇱 ⛺️

Anti-colonial tactics don’t work work on indigenous people - the Jews drove out the British occupiers. Efforts to drive us out reveal a profound misunderstanding of Jewish identity. Married to…

Thank you JIMENA for putting together this special upcoming event honoring the late Iranian patriot & Jewish community leader Habib Elghanian who was wrongfully executed by the demonic mullah regime in Iran 45 years ago!

While we appreciate California Governor's report on his efforts to address antisemitism, this Passover, we at JIMENA understand that to address antisemitism, it must first be defined. Our government leaders must use every tool at their disposal to combat bigotry and hate. This is why…

Jews told to stay in their homes to avoid antisemitic mobs echos what happened to Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa during every single war waged against Israel by hostile states and organizations. Jewish American students are not responsible for foreign…

“Students are unwilling to hear theses that challenge their own worldview. Students today have far less knowledge of history and analytical thinking skills than previous generations, and this becomes a huge challenge when teaching critical issues such as antisemitism,” Nazarian…

TO BE CLEAR... It's time to collectively reject the label of Ashkenazi Jews as privileged, white, and European. Ashkenazi Jews are as indigenous to the Middle East as any other Jewish community around the world and in their diaspora were never allowed to be fully European.…

Since the 1940s, one million Jews have either been ethnically cleansed or fled from antisemitic persecution in the Middle East and North Africa. Numerous accounts exist of Palestinian refugees entering the homes of Jews in Arab lands, demanding that they leave, claiming ownership…

The leader of Hamas says that when they say From the River to the Sea they mean genocide, no place for any Jewish state to exist.

Glad we can clarify what the chant means. Next.

How is denying Jewish indigeneity destructive to peace? Mijal Bitton explains. #Israel #Beyondthedivides

As Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews, we are all too familiar with attempts to erase our existence– from the Inquisition, to dhimmitude (the second-class status Jews held under Islamic rule for hundreds of years), to the mass expulsions of our communities in the mid-20th century– our…

The mullahs in Tehran care about Jerusalem so much that they launched dozens of missiles at it.

Bless the Israel Defense Forces, bless the children of Israel, bless our strength & resiliency.
