Straight Facts

In this edition of Straight Facts, we revisit the UN resolution equating Zionism with racism that was passed 50 years ago, look at ties between UNRWA and terror organisations, ask why the world is silent about the genocide in Sudan and more.

Dear Chaverot

I hope this finds you well. We have just concluded a very successful Meeting of Representatives (MoR) in Israel and it was phenomenal to see you all fired up. As mentioned in my session, I really want to work a lot closer with your Federations – especially as we fight antisemitism.

In this edition of Straight Facts, we hear from a supermodel ally, look at how antisemitism has risen to alarming levels in Ireland and Canada, learn tactical lessons from Gaza, ask the entertainment industry why they have neglected facts on the ground in favour of trendy political posturing and more.

Please share this with your communities and Federations.

I hope this is of service to you.

Warmest regards
