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)
