The U.N. passed 17 resolutions against Israel in 2020, compared with 6 resolutions against all other nations.

The New York Times continues its anti-Israel rants—calls for an end to the Jewish state of Israel, condemns “Israeli settler colonialism” and publishes a fawning “puff piece” on anti-Semite Ilhan Omar.

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.

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 2020 passed 17 anti-Israel resolutions, falsely accusing the Jewish state of human rights violations and “reaffirming” that Jewish settlements in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” including East Jerusalem, and in the sovereign Israeli Golan Heights are illegal.The U.N. passed only 6 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 31 years.
• This year, the New York Times stepped up its journalistic war on Israel: It drove out another pro-Israel journalist of the tiny few on its editorial board, featured more than a dozen nasty anti-Israel editorials, and printed a “softball” interview with anti-Semitic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar.

FLAME now publishes regular (paid) editorial position papers in the New York Times and Wasington Post, refuting their attempts to de-legitimize the Jewish state.

“Israel’s Settlements: Obstacle to Peace?”
This op-ed debunks the notion that Jewish settlements provide any valid reason for Palestinians to refuse to negotiate peace with Israel—especially since the Palestinians refused to negotiate for decades before there were settlements in Judea-Samaria.

“What Is Palestinian Territory?”
This editorial, which appeared in the New York Times Sunday edition, refutes the notion that the Palestinians have ever had legal sovereignty over Judea-Samaria. Indeed, this piece explains why Israel is within its rights under international law to form communities in this disputed territory—at least until the Palestinians agree to negotiate a peace with Israel.

Despite the despicable attacks of the U.N. and the New York Times 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 2020 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 2021 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 2020:

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.
