ISRAEL AND PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST (audio interview)

Daniel Mariaschin, Executive Vice-President, B’nai B’rith International

In light of the terrorist Iranian proxy, Hamas, killing 1400 Israelis and taking over 200 people hostage on October 7, 2023, I decided to air again one of my still-timely interviews with insightful Daniel Mariaschin, Executive Vice-president of B’nai B’rith International (25-minute audio of interview follows at the bottom of this introduction…click on the blue “play” button) because Israel and the Middle East are still in conflict with no end in sight and Mr. Mariaschin held the position, skills and experiences that enabled him to have keen insight and perception into the issues surrounding this ongoing tragedy.

While I interviewed Mr. Mariaschin years ago, almost everything we discussed is relevant to the situation today and therefore is still valuable.   At the time of my interview, Daniel Mariaschin had been working for B’nai B’rith for 24 years but had worked in the Jewish community in Jewish organizations for an additional 15 years, for a total of 39 years.  He holds an undergraduate degree in history from Columbia University and a graduate degree in Jewish studies from Brandeis University.  Mr. Mariaschin was born in the New York-New Jersey area and grew up in New Hampshire.  At the time of my interview, he was the Executive Vice President of B’nai B’rith International and the Director of B’nai B’rith’s Center for Human Rights and Public Policy.

The interview focuses on Israel and peace in the Middle East.  Because of his experience in foreign affairs, national defense, Israel, and articles he’s written for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, the Chicago Tribune, the  Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and others, he has demonstrated that he knows what he’s talking about.

In the interview, Mr. Mariaschin discusses many aspects of:

  1. Israel and the Middle East, including insights into Hamas.
  2. The  prospects for peace
  3. The growing Iranian threat including its nuclear reactor in Bushere
  4. The “ground zero” mosque, life in Israel
  5. The book on Israel, Start-up Nation,
  6. The origins and mission of B’nai B’rith, and more.
