THANK THE SUNDAY TIMES & DANIEL DAY-LEWIS!!!
Thursday, March 24, 2005 (726 reads)


Please take a minute to thank the Sunday Times and Daniel Day-Lewis for an excellent article in the March 20 edition entitled "Inside scarred minds", in which the renowned actor, on his first visit to the Gaza Strip, meets Palestinian families living in conflict and the psychologists who are counselling them.

Our thanks and support are all the more important because the Zionist Federation has today urged its members to complain about the article, which it described as "very unpleasant". We must not allow the newspaper or celebrity to be silenced, as this will discourage other high-profile figures from speaking out.

THANK THE GUARDIAN & COMPLAIN TO THE BBC!!!
Saturday, March 05, 2005 (649 reads)


Please thank the Guardian for an excellent commentary in its March 4 edition by London mayor Ken Livingstone entitled "This is about Israel, not anti-semitism". He condemns Israeli policies against the Palestinians, supports refugees' rights and describes Ariel Sharon as a war criminal. This has caused uproar among pro-Israel lobbyists, so he should be thanked for his staunch support for human rights and justice, and the Guardian should be thanked for publishing the commentary.

Also, please complain to BBC Radio 4's Today programme for a very misleading item on illegal Jewish settlements on March 3 at 8.30am, in which Israeli Housing Minister Isaac Herzogg was allowed to speak unchallenged almost 9 times longer than Afif Safieh, Palestinian general delegate to the UK and Holy See.

About

Action Alerts are issued no more than twice a week, in response to particularly good or bad reporting of Arab issues. They are designed to hone, galvanise and focus the lobbying capability of members and the public, and thus our effectiveness, where and when it is most needed. They are also suited to those who do not have time to engage the media everyday.
