In a message dated 4/22/2004 6:10:58 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Dear Friends, Act now to fight antisemitism -- urgent faxes to Secretary Powell can really make a difference. In the last two weeks many of our supporters have written to Secretary of State Colin Powell, urging him to attend an important meeting on the rise of antisemitism in Europe. The meeting will take place in Berlin on April 28 and 29. <http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/ct/T7Lat1n1I7l6/> Find out more about the meeting. The presence of a senior U.S. government official at the meeting is critical, yet no senior U.S. official is currently slated to attend. The faxes and emails we have generated are having an impact. To date more than 600 of you have written to the Secretary, and his staff tell us it is making a difference. Secretary Powell is now saying that he wants to attend the meeting, and will do so if his schedule permits. Please help us persuade him to attend. Contact the Secretary of State today. If you have not already sent a fax, please do so now. If you did send a fax -- please do so again. For more information on Human Rights First's efforts, read <http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/ct/YpLat1n1I7lt/> this article in the Forward. How in the world will having a flagrant pro-Arabist like Colin Powell help fight European anti-Semitism (which is basically anti-Israel!)? Check out message #4 in this digest: Powell: Israeli Retention of Settlement Blocs Requires Palestinian Consent. One quote in particular is very relevant: "Powell also sought to reassure anxious European governments who back the Arabs in demanding Israel retain none of the West Bank. He said after meeting with Javier Solana, the senior EU diplomat, that Palestinian approval was necessary on all big issues." Asking Colin Powell to be a representative for Jews at a European anti-Semitism conference is like asking Walter Mueller, who planned to host the International Revisionist Conference, to speak out against Holocaust deniers! Probably the last American official that I would want to represent Jewish interests in Europe right now is Colin Powell!! If he is the only possible name that you can come up with from the current administration to represent American Jewish interests, then Jews -- and Israel -- are in real trouble!
