Seven Ways We Each Can And Should Help Israel Now

1. Download the Red Alert app for your smartphone and use it The app alerts you whenever a siren sounds in Israel to warn of an attack. When you hear the siren: • Direct your thoughts to Israel. • Pray. • Speak up and tell your friends, your colleagues, and anyone you know what Israel is facing. 2. Reach beyond American based reporting to read about Israel from Israelis • Israel Hayom English Edition http://www.israelhayom.com/ • Jerusalem On Line http://www.jerusalemonline.com/ • The Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com/ • The Times of Israel http://www.timesofisrael.com/ • Ynet News (Yedioth Media Group) http://www.ynetnews.com/ 3. Post, share, tweet and email Use social media to show your support for Israel.

The world has become increasingly hostile to Israel, whether it’s through the misguided, hateful boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns or more overt anti-Semitism. 5. Write to local newspapers Not only the Globe and Herald, but your hometown paper, with letters telling members of your community why you support Israel’s right to live in peace. 6. Call local radio shows Hear comments about Israel that skew the facts? Call in and set the record straight. 7.
