Dear Community member
As you are aware, there are currently very powerful and extremely negative pressures confronting Israel, specifically dealing with the upcoming Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations, the Russell Tribunal to be held in Cape Town in November, the Durban lll conference in New York and the hostility emanating from Turkey.
In light of all these happenings the South African Zionist Federation is taking every measure to empower our own Jewish community through disseminating the necessary facts needed to defend Israel and to ensure that they are understood well enough for the country to be represented fairly and accurately.
Kindly spend time reading and understanding the attached document; and where possible, please forward to friends, colleagues and associates for their information.
Yours faithfully
The South African Zionist Federation
