Dear friends,
I am writing to you again to ask for your help. Unfortunately the situation in Israel is getting worse! Israelis are taking to the streets in increasing numbers in protest against the current government. The government is responding with alarming police brutality towards protesting hostage families, protestors, and journalists! And even while the country is at war the government is trying to advance a series of laws that restrict the free media and to promote media that is government friendly.
The organizations I am supporting are doing their best to fight and protect the future of Israel. They need our support !! These are:
- The Human Rights Defenders Fund’s legal help for peaceful protestors who have been wrongfully detained and hurt.
- FakeReporter’s real-time factchecking to prevent disinformation by internal and foreign manipulators.
- Zulat’s policy development and law suits against the government regarding their efforts to politicize Israeli news channels.
- The Association for Civil Rights in Israel’s litigation defeating the politicization of police forces.
We must protect these two pillars of a free society: the freedom of protest and a free, independent media.

Thank you,
