Editor's Notes
All of us are here because we love Israel. We help our Israeli brothers and sisters with contributions to JUF. We travel there. We advocate for Israel in Washington and Springfield. We monitor the media to keep them honest in their coverage. But if you're like me, you still wish there were something else you could do to help. There is something else you can do, and I’m here to talk about how you can do it effectively – the fence-sitters. We need to strengthen the support for Israel among the 98% of the community that is not Jewish. We especially need to reach out to the 25% of Americans – our non-Jewish friends, neighbors, colleagues and sometimes extended family – who have not decided what they think about Israel’s search for peace and security.
