A reminder to those of you in the New York area to please show up at the demonstration against allowing BDS groups to march in the Salute to Israel parade from 4:00 to 7:00 pm on Tuesday. More details here.
A chance to make history in New York City on Tuesday, April 8
On April
1, 1933, 81 years ago ,
the Nazis
carried out their first nationwide, coordinated action against the Jews: a
boycott of Jewish businesses.
On
April 1, 2014, JEWISH organizations are supporting the Arab boycott
of Jewish businesses and products made in the Land of Israel.
Incredibly, the
UJA-Federation and JCRC have given their permission for these organizations to
march in the Salute to Israel Parade!
JOIN US TO
TELL UJA-FEDERATION:
DO NOT
PERMIT BDS SUPPORTERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE
Rally Tuesday, April 8th, 2014
We will
gather 4 PM to distribute flyers, speakers at 5:30-7 PM.
UJA-Federation Building,
130 East 59 St., bet. Lexington & Park Avenues.
BRING
SIGNS, PLEASE and spread the word!
Sponsored
by JCC Watch, AFSI, Z Street, National Conference on Jewish Affairs, Endowment
for Middle East Truth, Americans for Peace and Tolerance, Ha-Emet, and other
organizations. For more information, or if you would like your
organization signed on as an endorser: StopBDSNow@gmail.com
For those of
you who are UJA-Federation and/or JCRC supporters, please use the contact
information below to let them know of your disgust over this issue. Please
seriously reconsider which pro-Israel groups you support – we all have to
allocate our resources and I hope you all reconsider whether UJA-Federation and
JCRC are groups to which you wish to allocate yours if they do not change course
here.
On Sunday, there was a Support Peter King rally in Manhattan. King is the Republican New York Congressman who is currently conducting hearings into radical Islam in the United States.
Here's Liz Berney, who ran for Congressman Gary Ackerman's seat in November, addressing the rally. I've mentioned Liz many times on this blog.
Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: David D).
And here's Helen Freedman from Americans for a Safe Israel.
Let's go to the videotape.
I can't believe Marc Schneier thinks he's a Muslim. Oy vey....
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
