Foundation for the defense of Israeli occupation and aggression

A colleague received this message today:  "Knowing of your interest in conflict issues and the Middle East, I am writing to inform you that the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies is now accepting applications for its 11th annual Academic Fellows Terrorism studies program. This unique program provides university professors a detailed understanding of the terror threat that faces our nation and sister democracies. The 10-day program takes place entirely in Israel from June 15 - June 26, 2013 (travel inclusive). Taught in conjunction with Tel Aviv University, participants interact with academics, diplomats, military and intelligence officials, and politicians from Israel, Jordan, India and the United States. Visits to military bases, border zones and other security installations offer insight into the practical side of deterring terrorist attacks. All expenses are paid by FDD." (thanks Lara)
