I'd like to request that the list be moderated. ALthough one's opinoins about other Jews may be valid in some respects it is not the purpose of this list. The purpose of this list is to increase the knowledge and awareness of Israel in the community. So far little has been done to spread the message about Israel to the local community. While the folks on this list are well versed in all topics concerning Israel we are simply preaching to the choir and we need to start reach the congregation as well.
Okay, that being said. We all need to actually get up off our butts and do something about the fact that Israel is much maligned in our media and by the so called educated classes. We can start off by involving ourselves in local Dmeocratic activities promoting Democratic candidates who will support ISrael. We should also ask those people who are morons of our society to discontinue the practice of supporting ISrael. The last thing we all need is Pat Robertson supporting us. A letter writing campaign to Mr. Roberston would be a good start. Right now he's praying for Justice Ginsberg and her colleauges to die and be replaced by conservatives so he's definately not a good person for us! Furthermore, protests and anti-protests need to be organized. There are lectures and programs across teh city that are geared towards making Israel look like the blood thirsty oppressor and there is no Zionist presence at these lectures armed with thougthful questions and knowledge. I'm not sure who is running the YZOA these days but more than a list serv is needed. Meetings and discussions are the only way to start action in support of Israel and these meetings and discussions need to be timed in such a way so that people with jobs and responsibilities are able to attend and participate.
