How to be An Advocate for Israel

 Israel's future is greatly impacted by how she is portrayed through the media. You and your friends can do Israel a great service by making sure that the news media reports fairly about Israel.

When a story seems unfair, decide how best to respond whether by letter, email, social media, or call.

When writing letters or emails to the Editor, Blog, or Webmaster:

• Do it promptly. Nothing is as irrelevant as "yesterday's news." If you wait too long, your letter or email won't get printed or posted.
• Keep it short. Focus on one issue (response to one article or post, or clarification of one point). 
• Have your facts in order before attempting to present them. 
• Point to specific problems within the article, post, or broadcast you believe to be unfair. 
• Maintain a respectful and considerate tone in your correspondence. 
• Include your full name, address, email, and phone number. 
• Remember to also write when compliments are due.
