The U.N. passed 14 resolutions against Israel in 2021, compared with 4 resolutions against all other nations.
The New York Times continues its anti-Israel
rants—portrays Israelis as sad and alienated, praises an
anti-Semitic poetry teacher and repeats the “Palestinian territory” lie.
Do such hateful actions inspire you to fight for Israel?
Here’s how you can help us defeat our anti-Semitic enemies.
Please join thousands of Israel supporters who have stepped up over the last few weeks.
Please help FLAME tell the truth about Israel, biased media, the anti-Israel U.N. and Islamic terrorism!
Just go to donate now
before year’s end to start or renew your membership.
Dear Friend of FLAME:
Let me ask you just one personal question as we approach the close
of the year: Given your love of Israel,
how well have you fulfilled your desire to defend the Jewish state from
her enemies?
Do you have time, right now, to add one more small—or
large—gift of support to help FLAME tell the truth about Israel?
Just start or renew your FLAME membership by clicking on donation right now.
As you know from reading our FLAME Hotline emails, we at FLAME become outspoken and even angry when we see some of the vicious—often murderous—strategies Israel’s anti-Semitic enemies are
using to delegitimize and ultimately destroy the Jewish state.
I suspect you feel the same outrage about recent developments like
these:
-
The United Nations in 2021 passed 14 anti-Israel resolutions,
falsely accusing the Jewish state of human rights violations and
“reaffirming” that Jewish settlements in the “Occupied
Palestinian Territory,” including eastern Jerusalem, and in the sovereign Israeli Golan Heights are illegal.
The U.N. passed only 4 resolutions criticizing all other countries in the world—thus failing to introduce
even a single resolution on human rights crimes in China, Cuba,
Pakistan, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia Turkey, Algeria or 176 other countries.)
As you know, with your help, FLAME has been fighting U.N. lies about
righteous Israel in the media for more than 32 years.
-
This year, the New York Times stepped up its journalistic war
on Israel:
Even though Israel was named the 12th “happiest”
nation on earth, the NYT published a negative feature in which
disaffected Israelis were interviewed about their sadness and alienation
from the Jewish state.
They also published a glowing puff piece about the open-mindedness
of a Palestinian teacher who regularly spews hate about Jews and Israeli
poets.
And of course, the NYT continued to publish reports placing
Israeli communities in occupied “Palestinian
territories”—when they are actually fully legal towns in Judea
and Samaria.
Over the past year, FLAME has published numerous editorial position papers
in the New York Times and Washington Post, as well as in
the Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, New York Post and Orlando Sentinel refuting media
attempts to de-legitimize the Jewish state.
“No Fool’s Deal with Iran” This op-ed, which appeared in the New York Times and Washington Post Sunday editions, exposes the flaws in the first
2015 Iran Deal and holds the Biden Administration to account as it tries to
entice Iran back into a deal—demanding that any future agreement
block Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons and its attempts to spread
jihad throughout the Middle East.
“The Ugly Truth About Hamas”
This editorial reveals how in May the terrorist group launched— unprovoked—more than 4,000 missiles against Israeli
civilians—and it defends Israel’s humane response, which used
every precaution to avoid harming innocent Palestinians, even as Hamas used
them as human shields.
“Ben & Jerry’s Bad Taste”
After Ben & Jerry’s announced plans to boycott Israelis in
Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, FLAME refuted the ice cream maker’s
lies that Israel occupies Palestinian land in this op-ed that appeared in
the New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Orlando Sentinel and other media.
Despite the despicable attacks of the U.N. and mainstream media against
Israel—you and I have grown accustomed to the constant struggle against Israel’s anti-Semitic enemies. We know that Israel’s survival is precious and can’t be taken for
granted.
Good news:
We at FLAME know how to defend Israel . . . we know how to fight back
.
Won’t you help us continue publishing these hard-hitting
declarations of truth about Israel with a membership donation at this
year end—so you will still qualify for a 2021 tax deduction?
It’s important to defend, Israel, of course, but if you’re like
me, you also continue to be inspired by Israel’s amazing accomplishments—in
technology, medicine, education, agriculture and the arts. Did you
hear—Israel’s per-capita household income has surpassed
that of Japan!
Did you know: Israel is now ranked as the eighth most powerful nation on earth?
I’m also excited about the increasingly warmer relations Israel is
achieving with Arab nations.
So how are we to deal with our contrasting emotions? On the one hand, we
feel anger at attempts to destroy the Jewish state . . . and on the other
we’re justified in feeling joy as we celebrate Israel’s
successes.
But here’s a better question: How can you and I channel our determination and anger to defeat Israel’s enemies
during this season of gratitude and good cheer?
I have an answer, and it’s why I’ve dedicated myself to FLAME.
Because FLAME defends Israel in a way that no other organization does—it publishes bold pro-Israel
editorials in mainstream media—defeating the lies and exposing the
haters.
FLAME’s outspoken editorial earlier this year in the New York Times and Washington Post, titled “The Israel Apartheid Lie”—which reached some 5 million readers—is just one
example. It condemns all those, like BDS and the growing cadre of
anti-Semitic enemies in the House of Representatives, who falsely accuse
Israel of racial segregation.
While FLAME’s ability to publish these messages in the New York Times and Washington Post makes me proud, I must
confide to you: Each time we run our editorials in either one of these
huge-circulation media, we pay about $35,000—both media, one time,
cost about $70,000.
Can you help us continue—and increase—these outspoken positions
in 2022 with a generous (or modest) membership donation at this time?
As you know, FLAME has also refuted the U.N.’s lie that Palestinians
are the native people of the Holy Land: Our paid editorial in mainstream
media—“Who Are the Indigenous People of Palestine?”—offers incontrovertible proof that the Jews preceded Arabs
in the region by 1,800 years.
Finally, with the new Biden administration promising to renew the
disastrous Iran Deal—a path to nuclear weapons for the Islamic
Republic—you’ll be happy that FLAME is publishing urgent
warnings about the deadly dangers of deals with the mullahs, such as our
recent hasbarah message, “Help the Iranians, Not the Ayatollahs.”
FLAME’s hundreds of messages defending Israel—all of which you
can see at FLAME’s PR for Israel—provide powerful support for Israel, but as I’m sure you can
imagine, telling the truth about Israel via such paid editorial messages in
mainstream media is costly.
Are you ready to join us? Here’s the double payoff for making
a donation to FLAME in
these waning moments of 2021:
First, you help tell the truth about Israel
in the media—something that’s sorely needed if we’re to
maintain vital U.S. financial and political support of the Jewish state.
Second, you can celebrate the holiday season
with even more joy in your heart, because you have done a mitzvah
for Israel—a generous good deed appropriate to the season.
That’s why, if you’re angry about terror attacks in Israel, the
United States and worldwide, and if you’ve ever bemoaned
Israel’s “bad PR,” I urge you to help FLAME with your
financial support at this time. Just go to donate to help
now.
Please remember that the overwhelming majority of FLAME’s financial
support comes from individuals just like you. One by one, Jews,
Christians and unaffiliated alike contribute generously to this noble
cause—to help ensure that Israel survives.
So whether you give $1,000 or $500 or $100 . . . or even $50 or $36 or
$18—every donation is important—every dollar you contribute
helps us keep defending Israel and telling the truth about the inspiring
Jewish nation.
Best of all, of course, your donation is tax-deductible.
Won’t you act now to make your donation online? Just go to donate now.
Thanks in advance for your year-end generosity and your continued support
of FLAME’s good work.

We at FLAME usually focus, as we should, on the challenges Israel
faces in the world—the unfair treatment the Jewish state receives at
the hands of the U.N., continuing rocket, gun, car and knife attacks by
Arab terrorists, and the existential threat that confronts Israel from
Iran. But what we must not forget is the amazing success story that Israel
represents for Jews, for the United States and for civilization itself.
It’s inspiring! To clarify, celebrate and publicize the good news
about Israel, FLAME is now publishing a hasbarah message— “Why Israel Matters”
—in media reaching 10 million readers. I hope you'll review this
powerful position paper and pass it on to all your contacts who will
benefit from this message. If you agree that FLAME's bold—but
costly—brand of public relations on Israel's behalf is critical, I
urge you to support our publication of such outspoken messages. Please
consider giving donation now, as you're able—with $500, $250, $100,
or even $18. (Remember, your donation to FLAME is tax deductible.) To
donate online, just go to donate now. Now
more than ever we need your support to ensure that Israel gets the support
it needs—from the U.S. Congress, from the President, and from the
American people.
