California Democrat House candidate Scott Weiner is one of dozens of politicians who falsely accuses Israel of genocide—but that’s not enough for radical leftists who screamed and threatened Wiener for being too soft on Israel at a recent Trans March in San Francisco.

Does your blood boil—as mine does—when the media report yet another politician falsely accusing Israel of genocide, apartheid or starvation in Gaza?

How about politicians who vote to slash funding that helps Israel defend itself against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iranian terrorists?

Or how do you feel about recent attacks on Jews in broad daylight or harassment of Jewish children in American elementary schools?

We see it daily: Antisemitism around us has reached a fever pitch.

Some cynical media even say the “Golden Age” of Jewry has passed—that these are the worst of times for our people.

I disagree. Yes, I’m angered by the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel trend. But I’m still convinced the Jewish people can and will win.

The truth is, Israel is stronger—economically, politically, militarily—than ever. We Jews—here and there—can hold our heads high.

In fact, I believe the best times are ahead for the Jewish people: We will defeat the liars, hypocrites and slanderers.

We’ll win because our cause is righteous. We’ll continue to survive and thrive because we don’t give up, won’t surrender to the haters.

Together—we lovers of Israel and the Jewish people—will protect our honored role in the American dream.

We will prevail because we’re tough . . . and truth is on our side.

If you agree we can’t give up the fight, I hope you’ll support FLAME’s campaigns to crush the lies, slanders and misinformation about Jews and Israel.

First, help us by spreading the truth to your friends and family.

Next, help us publish the truth in national news and social media, with facts you’ll never see in the New York Times, on CNN or NPR!

Please click on donate now—before September 15 to help FLAME
defeat today’s explosion of lies . . . and help Israel win the Information War.

 

Dear Friend of Israel, Friend of FLAME:

I think you’d agree with me that of all the lies dumped on Israel in recent months by radical politicians, the most pernicious—and frequent—has been the blood libel of “genocide.”

• New York’s new socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani accused Israel’s Prime Minister of “a horrific genocide” against Palestinians, but offered no proof.

• U.S. Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) alleges—also with no evidence— a genocide by Israel, and he opposes U.S. military aid to the Jewish state

• Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says Israel “does not have the right to commit genocide” in Gaza.

• Islamist Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed claims “what’s happening in Gaza [is] a genocide.”

Likewise, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Representatives Omar, Ocasio-Cortez and Garamendi—plus a dozen more elected officials—have asserted (all with no offer of proof) that Israel is guilty of “genocide.”

But here’s a hard truth that none of Israel’s enemies will admit:

The International Criminal Court has been reviewing accusations of genocide against Israel for several years now—however, for lack of evidence they admit they cannot charge Israel with the crime—let alone convict it.

Apparently a cabal of prejudiced politicians don’t believe in the most fundamental principle of American justice: We are all “innocent until proven guilty.”

HOW FLAME’S NATIONAL MEDIA AD SLAPS DOWN
 ELECTED OFFICIALS’ GAZA GENOCIDE LIBELS—
CAN YOU HELP US?

Let’s be honest: Most of those who spread the lie that Israel commits genocide are anti-Israel haters. They, like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, obviously care nothing for facts . . . or the truth.

The tragedy is, too few knowledgeable people—and virtually no media—stand up to refute the genocide slander.

When you share the simple facts, the genocide lie crumbles.

Once fair-minded people discover that Israel conducts its war against Hamas terrorists with the highest ethical standards—and that nothing Israel does in Gaza fits the definition of genocide—they quickly see through the lie.

I hope you’ll agree that we supporters of the Israel-U.S. relationship need to speak out. FLAME’s new hasbarah—explanatory message—“Facts Shatter Gaza Genocide Lies”—describes what genocide is and is not and proves factually that Israel’s tactics in the war are ethical and righteous.

It also reveals demographic data showing that the Palestinian population in Gaza is actually increasing. Finally, it notes that those who spread the Gaza genocide lie fit the classic definition of antisemites.

FLAME just published to this ad (below) to millions of Americans—in leading social media, as well as in the Washington Post, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Tampa Bay Times, Denver Post, Houston Chronicle, Los Angeles Times and San Jose Mercury News.

This piece will also be sent to all members of Congress, the President and Vice President.

If you agree that this kind of public relations effort on Israel’s behalf is critical, I urge you to support us with a tax-deductible donation before September 15.

Help us run this ad again—this time in the Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, San Mateo Times, USA Today,  Boston Globe, Arizona Republic and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

We need just $90,000 to tell millions more American voters the truth about “Genocide Lies” in these media. One dollar at a time—you can help make it happen!

HOW FLAME FIGHTS OTHER MEDIA SLANDERS AGAINST ISRAEL  

FLAME has been exposing media lies about the Gaza war for the last 31 months—and we’ll continue telling the truth about the fight against Iran.

FLAME has many times exposed the “Gaza famine lie” to hundreds of thousands of Americans via Facebook. Check our report —“Despite UN report denying famine in Gaza, anti-Israel media continue the lie.”

Unfortunately, we can never rest: Anti-Israel media continue their fake news with no shame.

Likewise, mainstream media tried again to scam the American public with two of their perennial lies: Israel is bombing Gaza hospitals and Israel is killing Palestinian journalists—both alleged “war crimes.”

The truth is, Israel bombed Gaza’s Nasser Hospital because the IDF determined the facility was being used as a Hamas command and control center. A Hamas operative and sometime journalist, Hassan Aslih, who took part in Hamas’s invasion of Israel on October 7, was killed in the attack.

FLAME exposed both the hospital- and journalist-targeting hoaxes in our January report, “Seven latest attacks on Israel by media pervert the truth,” which informed hundreds of thousands of Americans on social media that hospitals used as enemy headquarters are legitimate targets under international law.

HOW FLAME HELPS ISRAEL WIN TODAY’S INFORMATION WAR—
HOW WE CAN SPREAD THESE TRUTHS IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

My friends, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are just the tip of the iceberg. I think you’ll agree that the mounting antisemitism and drumbeat of anti-Israel reporting in the media these days is unprecedented . . . and scary.

But here’s a beam of hope: For decades FLAME has bravely fought against our enemies—defending Israel against the wide range of falsehoods they aim at her.

Here are just a few of the editorial media ads FLAME has run to spread the truth . . . and defend the Jewish state in mainstream media (see hundreds of them under “PR for Israel” at www.factsandlogic.org.)

             ►“Aid to Israel Makes the U.S. Safer”—refutes the lie that Israel is “dependent” on the U.S. In fact, the U.S. gains billions of dollars worth of value from its aid to Israel, because Israel’s powerful military ensures the safety of American troops and U.S. security in the Middle East. This ad reached nearly 3 million people in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and New York Times.

             ► “Stop Terrorism on Campus”—shows skyrocketing anti-Zionist bullying and demands school administrators be held to account and how we can fight back. It ran in the New York Post, Tampa Bay Times, Denver Post, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Mercury News and Wall Street Journal.   

     ► “What Is Occupied Palestinian Territory?”—proves there’s no such thing as “Palestinian territory” and why Israel’s governance is lawful and just: It was seen by millions in the New York Times and Washington Post.

             ► “The Palestinian Catastrophe”—explains why Palestinians’ real “nakba” was their failure to accept Israel’s offers of land for peace: We reached six million readers at Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, New York Post, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle and Orlando Sentinel. 

             ► “Democracy Thrives in Israel”—disproves accusations that Israel commits apartheid and shows why Israel is ranked the world’s 23rd most successful democracy (ahead of the U.S.!): It ran in New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, New York Post, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle and Mercury News.

HOW MEDIA AND THE UNITED NATIONS PROTECT HAMAS
AND PROMOTE AN ANTI-ISRAEL NARRATIVE
. . . AND HOW FLAME FIGHTS BACK

UN BLOOD LIBEL: NBC, NPR, Reuters and the Guardian repeat the UN lie: “Israel has been intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza,” according to unnamed “UN experts.”

FLAME EXPOSES: I hope you read FLAME’s exposè, which proves how Israel supervises tons of food shipped to Gaza, that “starvation” is overstated, and that yet again the culprit is the terrorists: “Hamas steals food aid from its citizens, yet the media blame shortages on Israel.” This message reached tens of thousands of Americans.

FAKE GAZA DEATH TOLLS: Every day mainstream media outlets have parroted death statistics from Hamas’s notoriously discredited “Gaza Health Authority” without mentioning new revelations that 70% of all deaths have been men of fighting age—NOT a majority of women and children as media have reported for more than a year!

FLAME PUSHES BACK: To see how media hide Hamas’s criminal acts in the Gaza war—from death counts to hiding in hospitals . . . check FLAME’s Hotline article on “Media ignore Hamas criminality—instead promote anti-Israel narrative.” Again, we delivered this truth to tens of thousands of Americans nationwide on Facebook.

“FREE PALESTINE” SCAM: Palestinians in Gaza are some of the most oppressed people on earth—denied by Hamas of all civil rights and victims of a devastating war——but neither the media nor Palestinian supporters in Congress or on campus ever explain how keeping Hamas in power would help Gazans, let alone the missing hostages or Israel. In fact, it would be a disaster.

FLAME REFUTES: Truth is, only Israel’s total defeat of Hamas will help free the Palestinians. To get the facts, I urge you to review our hard-hitting, nationally distributed article, “Free Palestine—from oppression, from poverty, from prison . . . from Hamas.”

Let’s be honest: If we believe in “Never Again”—we must win the Information War . . . we must recommit to defending the Jewish state . . . and the truth.

It means we can’t give up, even for a day—we won’t stop until we defeat the pro-Hamas haters. We must raise our fists and our voices against the rising tide of antisemitic, anti-Israel slander.

HELP FLAME PUBLISH THE TRUTH
IN MAINSTREAM, SOCIAL AND COLLEGE MEDIA

Unfortunately, since October 7, 2023, the falsehoods against Israel have been piling up quickly. Almost as fast as we can refute them, our enemies invent new lies, each more vicious than the last.

It’s the reason FLAME created another outspoken editorial ad called “Israel’s Enemies Tell Five Big Lies.”

MAINSTREAM MEDIA: We ran this ad in the New York Post, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune.

SOCIAL MEDIA: FLAME’s robust Facebook campaigns calls us to reach millions of Americans. Already we’re delivering this message—“Israel’s Enemies Tell Five Big Lies”—to social media influencers of all ages.

COLLEGE MEDIA: Our latest messages debunking the greatest lies about Israel is scheduled to begin reaching tens of thousands of college students via digital ads in college newspapers nationwide in early Spring, as soon as school is back in session.

Please help support our media campaigns to millions of Americans: Make your tax-deductible membership donation by September 15.

FLAME recently published this hard-hitting message in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Tampa Bay Times, Denver  Post and Mercury News.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT ISRAEL TODAY?
STEP FORWARD: START OR AND RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP

How do we decide that now is the time to act? What does it take?

A friend recently sent me this quote from Albert Einstein:

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

If ever in our lives we were called on to defend the Jewish people . . . and the State of Israel—the world’s only refuge for Jews—surely now is that time.

Let’s not forget the pledge that good people made after Holocaust: Jews and gentiles alike took an oath, declaring, “Never again.” We won’t let it happen.

So many people say they love and support Israel, but they simply don’t know how to get involved.  They don’t have time or they don’t have thousands of dollars to give.

I understand completely, but consider: You don’t have to donate hours of time, and you don’t have to donate $500 or $100.  You don’t even have to donate $50 or $25.

                     You see, FLAME is supported by tens of thousands of members.  One by one: We have strength in numbers.                                                                                                     

                     More than 30,000 donors—people just like you, many who make very modest donations, many on fixed incomes—help ensure our good work.

Won’t you please step forward today as someone who cares for Israel from the heart . . . someone who recognizes Israel’s importance to the United States and the Jewish people?

P.S.2: Remember: You are part of Israel’s miracle—what you do this every minute matters: Please make your FLAME tax-deductible membership donation right now—before September 15.

P.S.3  As you know, we at FLAME are constantly fighting to defeat our enemies’ slanders against Israel. But I hope you agree that it’s just as important for us lovers of Israel to spread the word about the amazing triumphs of Zionism. I believe that in addition to defending Israel from media and politicians’ lies, we need also to help the world understand Israel’s righteous cause and its power for good—we need as well to trumpet Israel’s miraculous achievements. God knows, Americans will never learn about Israel’s good deeds in mainstream media, like the New York Times, CNN or NPR! I believe we need to stand tall because of who the Jewish people are . . . be proud of what Israel does for the world. For this reason, I hope you’ll approve of FLAME’s new hasbarah—our explanatory message called “How Zionism’s Miracle Benefits Us All.” With your agreement and support, FLAME just ran this message as a paid editorial ad in major mainstream newspapers nationwide. This ad tells the truth about Zionism’s unmatched power to create economic prosperity, global security, world health and democratic freedoms. It also explains why the enemies of Zionism are not just foes of Israel, they are also the enemies of human progress. Please review this convincing, fact-based editorial, which FLAME published to eight million readers on the 4th of July—in leading social media, as well as in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Houston Chronicle, Denver Post and Los Angeles Times. This piece will also be sent to all members of Congress, the President and Vice President. If you agree that this kind of public relations effort on Israel’s behalf is critical, I urge you to support us with a donation.
