AIPAC drops Ari Shavit following sexual assault claims
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAPIAC cancels Israeli journalist Ari Shavit’s participation in its events after two women accuse him of sexual assault.
The pro-Israel lobby confirms the decision after anti-Israel publication Mondoweiss reports that a November 10 San Francisco Bay Area event jointly put on by AIPAC and the local Jewish Community Relations Council was canceled. A JCRC website link still advertises the event, but the web page itself has no content.
Shavit resigned from his positions at the Haaretz newspaper and Channel 10 television in wake of the allegations by Jewish Journal reporter Danielle Berrin and an unnamed J Street staffer.
