Active Judaeans

I just received a request - from a Judaean who is active in her Jewish community - to circulate some information about fair media coverage from the most current conflict in Israel.  As per my statement in the last edition of the Kol Ha'Tnua, I urge everyone to think for themselves and find information that can be trusted:

“It is important that we all know the real facts about Israel and the Middle
East conflict because there is so much misinformation portrayed as the truth
and even as eye-witness reports in the press. This has created a lot of ill
will throughout the world toward Israel and Jews. We need to call attention
to the false statements, correct them, and tell others why we support Israel
and why Israel must take certain actions to protect itself.

You can stay informed about Israel 's current situation on a regular basis by visiting the website of Stand With Us (www.standwithus.com and www.standwithuscampus.com) and/or subscribing to the email newsletters at Honest Reporting (www.honestreporting.com), the Israel Project (www.theisraelproject.com), and the American Jewish Committee (www.ajc.org).

And if you will give us the names and email addresses of friends who also might be interested in helping Israel in this way, we will add them to our mailing list and include them in our mailings.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for sending us the names and addresses of new people to help with this project.”
