WHAT YOU CAN DO
1.) STAY INFORMED
To find in-depth coverage of what’s really happening in the Middle East,
spend at least 10 minutes a day at some of the following websites:
CAMERA ( http://www.camera.org )
Ha’aretz (www.haaretzdaily.com)

2.) CALL/WRITE THE MEDIA
As soon as you hear a one-sided or inaccurate report, pick up the phone
and call the news organization. It only takes a minute! If it was inaccurate,
explain the error and ask that it be publicly corrected. If it was one-sided,
state that the report was not objective. If you can, provide some details.
· Was the report skewed by the use of terms or language associated with
only one side’s perspective?
· Did the reporter editorialize in what was supposed to be an objective news story?
· Were the opinions of both sides represented?
· Was key information missing?
If you are unable to make a phone call, write a letter. Here are e-mail addressess and/or

3.) SPREAD THE WORD
Talk with your family and friends about events in the Middle East and
emphasize that much of the media coverage has been distorted, damaging
public understanding of events at this critical time. Give examples to raise
their awareness of the disturbing problem of media bias. Forward alerts to them.
Educate and organize members of your community (youth groups, synagogue
and church social action committees, sisterhood/men’s groups) to call the media
to protest inaccurate and unfair reporting.
4.) TRAVEL on a community solidarity mission to Israel or plan a personal visit to Israel.
5.) COMMUNICATE with Israelis by phone, fax, e-mail, or letter to strengthen
our connection and solidarity.
6.) ATTEND and PARTICIPATE in programs and events in our community
that educate the public about the Middle East as well as the background of the conflict.
7.) SUPPORT Israel financially through groups that provide assistance:
e.g., Israeli Emergency Fund, Hadassah Hospital, and Na’amat.
8.) WRITE personal but polite letters to U.S. elected officials expressing
disappointment that certain things were not done and "thank you’s" when
members of our State’s congressional delegation, (see below) do take
important favorable action on behalf of Israel.
9.) REMAIN informed by reviewing and subscribing
to various information sites such as:
http://www.honestreporting.com
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
http://www.gamla.org.il/english
http://www.jcpa.org (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
