Urgent Call to Action:
Why Must World Jewry Stand Up for Israeli Democracy?
Criticizing the Israeli government doesn’t mean criticizing the hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets for months fighting for democracy and human rights. They need our help. Responses like “I didn’t serve in the IDF,” “I’m uncomfortable airing “dirty laundry” and “Criticizing Israel will strengthen BDS” cannot apply when Israel’s democracy is hanging in the balance. These are unprecedented times for Israel and the Jewish people. Sitting on the sidelines is not an acceptable option. Your participation and support are crucial.
