If Not Now, When?
I do not write this lightly. Since Friday of last week, eight days ago, I have chaired an initiative, People4Peace, to push against a very dangerous cocktail of lies, antisemitism, ignorance and hatred swelling online to demonize Israel, Israelis, and Jews everywhere. I cannot live without doing everything?I can to ensure that Israel survives for all its citizens, and as the very last safe haven for Jews if and when the latest Cossacks or Nazis come to kill us and our families.?Don't say never, say Never Again. The goal of this message is to ask you to help us and push out the messaging we have researched, sourced, verified, and run by three experts in the psychology of persuasion. We want to send it viral by email (in bcc., no more than 25 per email to avoid spam designation). We also need it on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and TikTok. Alongside the Content Committee, we have a Distribution Committee pushing it out to hundreds?of politicians, the press agents of a thousand celebrities and to high traffic Tweeters. Our targets are persuadable people who currently think Hamas is right and that Israel should cease to exist. And to people in the choir who know them. We do not hate Palestinians, because for sure the?innocent ones are also victims of Hamas. We point out that Hamas are barbarians by their deeds, who?in their published Charter?aim to kill the Jews and push all Jewish, Druze?and Christian Israelis into the ocean. 40 of us working on this have been very careful to only make statements that are sourced, verified, not hateful and not propaganda.?
Please help.?Below is email verbiage to pull from, and the Talking Points are also below as a PDF. If what I just typed does not do it for you, please look at the photo below, taken a few weeks ago, of the bridge 500 yards down the road from our house in Los Angeles.

1 年Peter, as a fellow Jew, I have a question for you - in your talking points, you state that, "Any response by Israel" to eliminate Hamas is nothing more than self-defense. To your mind, is there anything that Israel could do to Palestinians in retaliation for Hamas's horrific attacks that "People4Peace" would not support? Is there a number of Palestinian civilians, including children, bombed and shot to death by the IDF, or killed by lack of food, water, and medical care under Israeli siege that would be too high for you? Or is there a point at which People4Peace, acknowledging that every life holds equal value - Israeli and Palestinian alike - would call for an end to the siege?
