Kenneth Bialkin
'Friend' of militarist think tank
In January 2010 the American Friends of Tel Aviv University hosted a lavish reception and seminar in New York for 'friends and supporters' of the Israel based Institute for National Security Studies. Attendees included Martin Indyk and Dan Gillerman, both former ambassadors, Kenneth Bialkin and Harold Tanner, both former chairmen of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Sir James Wolfensohn, former president of the World Bank, and billionaire Charles Bronfman who co-founded Taglit-Birthright.[1][2] Participants reportedly "spoke frankly and off-the-record about the Palestinian situation, Iran and the two-state solution".[3]
