Some of Silver's thoughts on the Arab-Israeli conflict (and, strangely, his own agreement with those thoughts) can be seen here, and he also sits on the board of the Philadelphia-based "Interfaith Taskforce for America and Israel" (ITAI). This organisation does not appear to have a website, and it holds events with thuddingly predictable titles such as "The Jihadist Islamic Threat to the Judeo-Christian Way of Life" (Shoebat was involved with that one; this notice - which spells him as "Shubat" - claims he is a "professor"!). The director of ITAI is a certain Joseph Puder, and a conservative Episcopal priest named Peter T. Manzo is also involved. Whether they share Shoebat's view that the Book of Revelation refers to Islam is not known.

Puder and Silver are also on the board of the America-Kurdistan Friendship League (AKLF), alongside Foster Friess and Jack Wheeler. Back in the 1980s Wheeler (among much else) helped Jack Abramoff organise a conference in Angola for Nicaraguan Contras, Afghanistan Mujahideen and South African Security police (see my blog entries here and here for further details). Friess, meanwhile, is a billionaire businessman, and last year WND reported that he was being considered by the Christian Right as a possible independent candidate for the presidential election.
