Are you a parrot?

Read it and answer it if you have an answer for it. Don't be so lazy. Dore Gold runs the organisation and is not a 'religious extremist' like those for whom you are an apologist.

Quote:

Dore Gold was born in 1953 in Hartford, Connecticut, and was raised in a Conservative Jewish home. His primary education was spent at the Orthodox school The Yeshiva of Hartford. In the 1970s, Gold attended Mount Hermon School (Class of 1971) and then Columbia University where he received a BA from Columbia College in 1975, an MA in Political Science in 1976, and a Certificate of the Middle East Institute in 1978. In 1980, Gold made aliyah to Israel.

In 1984, he received a PhD in Political Science and Middle East Studies from his alma mater. He studied literary Arabic and specialized in International Law, and his doctoral dissertation was about Saudi Arabia. This research later formed the foundation for his 2003 New York Times bestseller, Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism.
[edit] Career

Dore Gold's political career began in 1985 when Gold served as senior research associate at Tel Aviv University's Moshe Dayan Centre for Near East Studies. Later, he was appointed Director of the U.S. Foreign and Defense Policy Project at the Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.

In 1991, Gold was an advisor to the Israeli delegation at the Madrid Peace Conference. From June 1996 to June 1997, he served as Foreign Policy Adviser to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the period in which Mr. Netanyahu served as the head of the Israeli opposition, Gold was instrumental in forging the relationship between the Likud Party leadership and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in response to the strategic ties that were growing between Israel's Labor government and the PLO under Yasser Arafat. Gold accompanied Netanyahu to meetings with the Jordanian leadership in 1994 and 1995 in London, Amman, and in Aqaba. As the Foreign Policy Adviser under Netanyahu after the 1996 elections, Gold worked with the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan and others in the Arab world. He was also involved in negotiations leading up to the Hebron Agreement and the Note for the Record.

From 1997 to 1999, Gold was the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. In 1998, Gold served as a member of the Israeli delegation at the Wye River negotiations between Israel, the PLO, and then U.S. President Bill Clinton at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland.

Since 2000, Gold has served as president of the non-profit institute, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. From 2001 to 2003, Gold served as an advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, most notably at the Aqaba Summit with President George W. Bush. During this period, Gold regularly appeared on US network television programs on behalf of the Sharon government, including Meet the Press, The Today Show, CNN's Late Edition, as well as on Fox and Friends. In July of 2003, Gold testified as an expert before the U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in providing ideological and financial support for international terrorism.
