I founded the Middle East Research Center, Ltd.(MERCL) in 1985 after 7 years as a consultant to the Israeli Government. I saw that Americans rarely understand Israel's security situation or its relevance to US security.
MERCL is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, tax-deductible research and educational think tank dedicated to educating and mobilizing US lawmakers and citizens to endorse sound laws and policies in support of Israel..
