FLAME ads communicate the facts about Israel and its enemies to millions of Americans. Below you’ll find examples of messages FLAME has published nationally and internationally in recent months.

A Demilitarized Palestinian State (II) Should Israel, should the world rely on it?
It is the declared policy of the United States government (and of most of the world) that in order to bring peace to the Middle East, the creation of a Palestinian state – the two-state solution – is indispensable. Even many Israelis have come to agree with that. But it is generally understood and taken for granted that such a state, which would essentially consist of Judea/Samaria (the “West Bank”) and Gaza, would have to be totally demilitarized.

Jerusalem (II) Should the U.S. Embassy be moved to the capital of Israel?
In a previous clarifying message we showed that before the Six-Day War in 1967, the claim that Jerusalem was a Muslim/Arab city had seldom been asserted and that such claim had come about only in modern times. The status of Jerusalem continues to be of great importance. The Arabs clamorously insist that at least the eastern part of the city should be yielded to them. The Israelis insist that Jerusalem continue as the indivisible capital of their country.

Israel’s Defensive Response to Gaza Was Israel using “disproportionate force?”
Having absorbed over 10,000 rockets aimed at its towns and cities and having issued innumerable warnings, Israel finally decided to defend its citizens. It bombarded Gaza by air and by sea and ultimately invaded it. The “world community” is concerned and enraged about Israel’s having used “disproportionate force” in its response. Is that a valid complaint?

Rather than focusing on an unattainable Israeli-Palestinian peace, President Obama should focus on the looming danger of Iran

 

An Urgent Letter
from FLAME President,
Gerardo Joffe

  July 2008
Dear Friend of Israel, dear Friend of FLAME:

The rockets keep falling on Sderot, the small city closest to the Gaza strip. So far, “only” about 20 Israelis have been killed, though many more have been wounded. But it is only a matter of time until one of these rockets will land on a school, on a hospital, or on an apartment building. It would cause many casualties. That would at long last be unacceptable to the Israeli public. A vigorous response would be demanded. It would in all likelihood cause many casualties in Gaza – most of them “innocent civilians.” But, of course, there are no “innocent civilians.” Anybody who allows rockets to be launched from his backyard is no “innocent” and should expect forceful retaliation in kind.

The homemade Qassam rockets that the Gazans now launch...
