About Emet

EMET is the first unabashedly pro-Israel and pro-American think tank and policy shop on Capitol Hill. We are the only establishment in Washington that gets out the proud narrative of Israel’s 62 year old struggle to survive amidst amazing challenges and its enormous contributions to humanity as a whole. And we get that out directly in front of our nation’s policymakers, where it counts. We emphasize Israel’s   unique role  as being the eastern outpost of Western democratic values, holding down the fort against a rising tide  of radical Islam, and the enormous  strategic benefit it brings to the United States, contributing substantial intelligence and hard-earned  tactical advice in the war on terrorism. We believe that Israel serves as the “canary in the coalmine”, and that in the eyes of the radical Islamist, each piece of land ceded simply whets their appetite for more in his quest for  Islamic hegemony. We believe that what confronts Israel today, will confront the rest of Western civilization tomorrow.

We get out our message by holding seminars on Capitol Hill, directly in front of our nation’s policymakers, where it makes the most impact. We write and publish in newspapers and magazines, speak publicly and on the radio, and  are constantly  being used as a resource to members of congress and their staffers. We  have been called the “Go To People on Capitol Hill” by some congressional staffers about current issues with a knowledge and perspective that they are not likely to  get through the media or other think tanks or policy shops in Washington.

 


What They Are Saying About EMET

In its short existence, EMET has emerged as a critical organization in the battle against Islamic extremism and terrorism. Founded by Sarah Stern, Emet is dedicated to providing the truth about the Arab war against Israel to members of Congress, the media and the general public. There is no more important mission than this. Sarah brings decades of experience and knowledge with an inexhaustible supply of energy. EMET needs your support.
--Steve Emerson

 

"Few people know the truth about the Middle East like Sarah Stern. Her voice and her new organization, EMET, are essential in communicating that truth to people who may accept at face value the moral equivalency they see presented on TV and in their newspapers."

--Cal Thomas
Syndicated Columnist/Fox News Contributor

 

 

“With the rise of Hamas in Gaza, and the development of Iranian nuclear technology, the need for an institution such as EMET is greater than ever before. It is obvious that the land-for-peace paradigm has not only failed to establish peace, but it has also reinforced the ambitions of those who aim to destroy both Israel and the United States. It is time for a new voice in this debate, such as that offered by the Endowment for Middle East Truth.” -- U.S. Senator Sam Brownback

 

“I am writing in strong support of Sarah Stern, who has worked with my office on matters of legislative importance. I praise her efforts in establishing the Washington, DC-based Middle East policy think tank, EMET. I have know Sarah for many years and find her to be passionate and knowledgeable regarding sponsorship of the Koby Mandell Act, which I agreed to support.

Sarah’s understanding of the Middle East region and the challenges for peace lend themselves well to her endeavors to produce assessments that will be valuable as events unfold. I enthusiastically endorse Sarah Stern’s effort and Look forward to EMET’s success”

--Member of Congress, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen


"Congratulations on founding the new Think Tank "Endowment for Middle East Truth" (EMET). I know few people more committed than you to the flourishing of US-Israel relations or to getting out the truth about the very real dangers that eminate from the Middle East today. I wish you every success in your new endeavor.

--Member of Congress, Tom Lantos

 

 

I write to congratulate you on the founding of the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), and wish you all the best in your new endeavor.  I am sure that your broad experience with the pro-Israel advocacy community has given you unique insights into the strengths and weaknesses of currently available information and analysis on the Middle East, and I welcome the new voice EMET brings to the conversation. 

EMET has the opportunity and talent to make a significant contribution to the policy debate on the Middle East.  With terrorist organizations joining or leading some governments, Iran increasing regional instability and seeking a nuclear capability and innocent lives destroyed by brutal attacks, it is more important than ever that we have strong, knowledgeable voices spreading the word about the reality that Israel and friends of democracy face in the region.  EMET will be able to provide a counterweight in support of realistic and accurate assessments of the threats we face and the need for clear action.

I have appreciated our work together in the past, and look forward to a continued positive relationship going forward.

--Member of Congress, Robert E. Andrews
