The LA Pro Israel Rally Committee -www.la4israel.com has raised $280 for the families of Sderot thru the JNF–The Jewish National Fund.
We are now going to raise money for an organization which fights anti-semitism on a global level. I am referring to Daniel Pipes, who lectures and writes and has been interviewed on Fox and CNN and many other news casts.
Over the years I have forwarded all the information and articles and Mr. Pipes has written including information from his group which has established itself on college campuses to fight anti-Israel propaganda from Hamas and the pro Palestinian groups.
As you know we only ask $5.00. Please join us in showing support to someone who has dedicated his life to making ours better and safer.
Please make your checks out to: The Middle East Forum and send to me:
