If Erica Coleman not overtly political, the methods of engagement frequently had politics just beneath Copy Editor the surface. Engagement meant understanding Israel’s importance to the world Jewish community as well as its right to exist — both in a general sense and in relation to the Yakov Wisniewski events of the day. This often turned engagement into a reactive enterprise — how the commu- Design Director nity could shore up support for this policy or for that war, and how Israel’s actions could best be presented and explained.

There was a widespread perception of Israel being FOUNDATION under siege and a general sentiment that Diaspora communities could serve as Israel’s ambassa- FOR JEWISH LIFE dors. Moreover, a fear of losing young Jews to waves of anti-Israel agitation spurred campaigns to arm them with Israel’s side of the story. But ultimately, such efforts were a misuse of both Michael H.

  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

  • What We've Been up To
    ערכים ליברלים ישראל פרוגרסיבית 2020-2021: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO WHO ARE WE? Ameinu, Hebrew for “Our People,” is a national, multi-generational community of progressive Jews in North America. Recognizing the unbreakable bond between the Jewish people and Israel, as well as the commitment to make our own society better, we mobilize those Jews who seek opportunities to foster social and economic justice both in Israel and in North America. As Zionists, we understand that a secure peace between Israel and its neighbors is essential to the survival of a democratic Jewish state. With this in mind, we build support within the North American Jewish community for a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here is a short report about our most recent activities and programs, for more, please follow us on social media or visit our website: www.ameinu.net. 2020 WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS - HATIKVAH SLATE Before 2020 even began, we worked with our partners in the U.S. progressive Israel community to construct the Hatikvah Slate. The Slate ran in the 2020 World Zionist Congress elections. From January to March we mobilized thousands of people to vote for our vision of peace and justice, while facing attempts by right wing forces to have our delegation disqualified from the Congress on bogus grounds. Their case was denied and we sent 30 delegates and alternates to the virtual Congress held in October. We formed a left-center coalition to block a power grab by the right-religious bloc of organizations, ensuring a balance in governance within international Zionist bodies.

    News, Commentary & Analysis Celebrating our 40th year in the gold coin & bullion business Michael J. Kosares, Editor February, 2011 E-mail alert. Never miss another issue. SPECIAL REPORT ________________________________________________ The Floating Dollar as a Threat to Property Rights Editor's Note: The following article is an interesting spin on how the floating fiat currency known as the dollar impacts our "right to the property that comes to us in the form of a salary or is held by us in the form of savings." The concern of course is that since the United States went off the gold standard, the float in the dollar has been, for the most part, unidirectional...down. The dollar index recently moved within about 6% of its all-time low as the Fed "mandarins" continue their campaign against savers with ongoing pledges of exceptionally low interest rates for an extended period. Add to that their various liquidity measures, including quantitative easing, and you arguably have a sure-fire recipe for further debasement of the dollar. A prudent saver might then consider protecting that 'property' by choosing to save in gold, rather than dollar. The emphasis added to the article below is mine. -- Peter A.
