Librarians for Fairness <[email protected]> 3:43 AM (15 hours ago) to Hasafran, Librarians Librarians for Fairness is expanding its membership, in part because the anti-Israel librarians within our profession have been increasingly active. You can be certain that they will never stop their demonizing. Although we were founded some fifteen years ago, we've always been a small organization, because we take great pains in preventing people who are hostile to, or ambivalent about Israel from joining. If you are someone who bemoans the so-called "occupation," we definitely don't want you. This year, we have grown nicely. Just in the last few weeks we have added eleven more librarians and professionals in allied fields to our membership, because we have been individually contacting people. But after some discussions among ourselves, we have decided to compose this Hasafran posting. We need you. Did you know that the only nation in the world (other than the U.S.A.) that the American Library Association has had a condemning committee about was Israel, via the ALA's fortunately now-disbanded Committee on Israeli Censorship? That's right ... not Iran, not Syria, not Cuba, not North Korea, not China, et al., but Israel, the freest of countries, was targeted for that sort of unjustified vilification. We are very careful about protecting the anonymity and privacy of our people. There are no dues. The much larger group, Stand With Us covers our expenses, and we are affiliated with it. We also belong to the wonderful, pro-Israel AMCHA Coalition. You can see our website by Googling Librarians for Fairness. Members may be as active or inactive as they choose. And, of course, should they ever want to, they are free to resign at any time, simply by Emailing us. If you decide to join Librarians for Fairness, just affirm that by contacting us at [email protected] <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
