But I have to say, my bad, the reference to the J. Blaustein institute I made is unsubstantiated.

Correctly, an Emeritus Professor at the Blaustein Institute of Desert Research BIDR, Dr. Arie Issar, has contributed a great deal of knowledge to the International Association of Hydrologists and has been awarded the IAH's president's award for his contributions in underground water research.
The BIDR is best known for its extensive expertise in underground water research and geo-hydrological accomplishments, particularly successful in Israel's Negev Desert.
Maybe this will make you feel better.

Yet, in the attachment on the bottom of this post, you will find the application document filed by AJC to participate in activities through the OAS.

This is related to human rights activities. You will find the J.Blaustein Institute named as a supporting element.
