Transatlantic Institute
The Transatlantic Institute is a think tank affiliated with the American Jewish Committee.[1] Founded in February 2004 in Brussels, Antwerp, the institute is non-partisan think tank dedicated to addressing the issue of how the United States and Europe can effectively collaborate.[2][3] Its current Director is Daniel Schwammenthal. [4] Mr. Schwammenthal was preceded by Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi.[3]
In 2005, the institute urged the European Union to adopt stricter regulations that would not allow broadcasts from the Middle East that were in violation of European hate speech laws.[1] The group called for prohibiting broadcasters from carrying Al-Manar, the TV station of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, and broadcasts of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls to "wipe Israel off the map."[1]
