This
Week's Action Item
|
|
The
International Solidarity Movement (www.palsolidarity.org)
supports “the Palestinian right to resist occupation” through “armed
struggle.” As you have read in previous alerts, the Israeli
Ministry of Foreign Affairs has linked the two British bombers of
Mike’s Place in Tel Aviv to the ISM. Thankfully their “conference,”
originally scheduled to take place in New Jersey at Rutgers
University, was moved probably in no small part to pressure from
individuals and groups on both Rutgers University as well as
Governor McGreevey. Unfortunately, the group has selected another
state university as the site of its hate-mongering gathering. While
we, as a democracy, support free speech and the constitutional right
to express one’s opinion, there are lines that any organization or
university can draw a line – ask them, would they allow the Klu Klux
Klan speak or a group that promotes rape or pedophilia? There are
several things that can be done to ensure that a group that promotes
and encourages terrorism is not given a public forum in which to
speak. (1) Write to Ohio State Governor, either via email at
Governor.Taft@das.state.oh.us; via mail at
30th Floor, 77 South High Street, Columbus OH 43215; or
via phone at 614-466-3555; (2) Write to Ohio State University
President, Karen Holbrook via mail at Office of the President, OSU,
205 Bricker Hall, 190 North Oval Mall, Columbus, OH 43210; phone
614-292-2424; or fax 614-292-1231; (3) Ohio residents can sign this
petition being circulated by AMCHA
http://www.petitiononline.com/amcha803/petition.html;
(4) OSU graduates can sign this petition to be sent to President
Holbrook
http://www.petitiononline.com/stopISM/petition.html;
and (5) write to Ohio state members of Congress via
www.senate.gov and
www.house.gov. |

After receiving tens of
thousands of signatures via email petitions, the Chair of Oxfam
International, Ian Anderson, responded that an inflammatory campaign
by the Belgium affiliate of Oxfam amended its website and removed a
link to an offensive poster. However, as of last week, this was not
done and a published apology on the website singles out Israel for
the blame in the Arab-Israeli conflict: “Our
action is by no means aimed at the Jewish communities, either in
Belgium or in Israel.
Our aim is to express our
opposition to the policy of the Israeli Government towards the
Palestinians which upholds occupation of their territory and
includes acts of grave violence, which we believe is the main cause
for the continuing conflict.”
Sign the Simon Wiesenthal Center petition today to protest this
one-sided and dangerous message being promulgated by Oxfam’s Belgian
affiliate and the boycott of Israel’s agricultural products at
http://www.wiesenthal.com/social/press/pet1.cfm?petid=78&m=9442L11547425s&src=xxxx.

Sign this petition to
request the U.N. treat homicide bombings and acts of terror as “war
crimes against humanity” and that raising ones children to commit
such acts is against the Geneva Convention and a fundamental abuse
of human rights. Go to
http://www.petitiononline.com/bombings/petition.html.

PROJECT EMBRACE |
|
Project Embrace
was initiated by the Israel Emergency
Solidarity Fund – One Family to pair
terror victim families with shuls such as Rinat. The financial
commitment and the emotional support provided enable these families
to begin to rebuild their shattered lives. We thank everyone who has
contributed thus far to help the Sakuri family.
We continue to seek funds
(checks are payable to the Rabbi’s discretionary fund/Project
Embrace) and volunteers, in addition to ideas. Please contact either
of us, or for additional information, please visit either
http://www.onefamily.org.il,
or
http://www.walk4israel.com.
Some of the activities
surrounding Project Embrace continue to
be:
-
Connecting with the Sakuri
family, through letters, phone calls, emails
-
In conjunction with our
Youth Groups, allowing the children to participate in an
email/letter writing campaign
-
Sending birthday and
Chanukah gifts to the family’s children
-
Visiting with the family
when we are in Israel

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION & DATES
|
| During
these difficult times, we would like to remind people of the power of prayer – take a moment to say Tehilim and
daven for the IDF and State of Israel. Any of the Tehilim would be of enormous help and Prakim 20, 83, 121, 130
& 142 are most appropriate. In the merit of saying these
Psalms/Tehilim, may G-d bless us all with peace, good health and security. |
|
To send a letter of gratitude to soldiers in the IDF to
be posted in the Hospitality Hut of Gush Etzion, please
address a message to izzy@actcom.co.il. |
| One way to put a face to this tragedy
is to look at the pictures of victims posted on http://www.walk4israel.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Victims and then send a note of condolence and words of comfort and solidarity to the families
of these victims. Take a moment of your time to remind those suffering from
Palestinian violence that they are not
alone.
|
| The media and other sources of information
cite numbers of dead Israelis v. Palestinians, but these numbers often stand alone without definition or context and create a distorted picture.
To better understand the true nature of the fatalities on both sides of the conflict in Israel, please refer to the summarized study conducted by the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism at
http://www.ict.org.il/articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=440 |

| The
American Sephardi Federation, in cooperation with the
Government of Israel, is leading an effort to document the
property and possessions left behind by Jews forced to
flee from Arab lands. There are, according to recent
