EBulletin for April 22, 2016
Shalom ZOA Members, Friends and Supporters of Israel,
Earlier this month we presented “An Evening With Melanie Phillips,” and Ms. Phillips did not fail to impress with her wonderful and novel insights and her bold courage in presenting them.
For those of you who were unable to attend, and for those of you who were there and who want to hear her speech again, we have uploaded video of her remarks on our Youtube channel. The urls are below. The speech is in 12 segments. Copy/paste each url into your browser. Due to some camera problems, a short amount of her speech is missing in between each segment. Please share these links with your friends and contacts so that they too can benefit and learn from Ms. Phillips. You will be astounded by some of the things she had to say. Plus she offers remedies for some of the societal ills that lead to anti-Jewish and anti-Israel attitudes and behaviors.
Philadelphia ZOA deeply appreciates the work of volunteer David Warner in making this video possible.
ZOA’s Washington Advocacy Mission
The mission takes place this year on Wednesday, May 11.
We will be discussing with Congress legislation on the issues of new sanctions against Iran, cutting funding to the Palestinian Authority and the dangers to Israel from actions taken by the United Nations Security Council.
We are sure that you realize the gravity of these subjects and the need now to encourage our lawmakers to take the appropriate actions to safeguard America’s most important ally in the Middle East: Israel.
We still have seats available on our buses – yes, due to demand, we have added a second bus and we are on a pace to bring more people from our area to Washington for the Mission this year than ever before.
Please be part of our contingent. Our area senators and members of the House from throughout the region need to see you and hear from you.
One bus will leave from Northeast Philadelphia with a pick-up in Center City. The second bus will leave from Lower Merion.
Please call the National ZOA Office today to register: 212-481-1500. Then call the Philadelphia Office to reserve your bus seat at 610-660-9466.
Thank you to the many ZOA members and friends who have already registered and especially those of you coming with your children and/or grandchildren.
British journalist, author and columnist Melanie Phillips discussed “How the West Undermines Israel’s and Jewish Survival – and What We Can Do About It” on April 6, 2016, at an event sponsored by the Zionist Organization of America’s Greater Philadelphia District and hosted by Congregation Beth Or in Maple Glen, PA.
Please note: Due to camera problems, Ms. Phillips’ speech and Q&A are presented in 12 segments, with small gaps between each segment. We apologize for the gaps.

If you are like most people, you have friends, neighbors and even relatives who do not quite understand what is taking place in one of the most pivotal regions in the world.
The Middle East is home to key U.S. allies and enemies; it is the focal point of much of the media; it is the source of most of the terrorism that plagues the world; it is where a large amount of American foreign aid is targeted and the source of much of the world’s oil. It is where our beloved Israel is trying to exist and thrive.
But the Middle East has become a muddled area to most Americans because of incomplete or biased coverage, plus a campaign of mis-education in schools and universities.
One of ZOA’s missions is to clarify the issues and to help Americans understand what is taking place in the Middle East and how it impacts them.
Help us fulfill this vital mission by hosting a parlor meeting in your home. A small gathering can make a huge difference.
