It’s true:

How could this be happening, when more information is available, to more people, for free or at lower cost, than ever before in human history?

Regardless of how we got here, three things are clear:
SLATE – RED ZONE
(1) This situation is among the gravest “red-alert” moments in all of Israel’s history
SLATE: Graphic of red zone
(2) Israel is not just losing the information war that’s been declared on her, she’s being annihilated
and (3) Unless something profound changes, soon…
… Israel’s survival will become an open question.

What is urgently needed, right now, is a bold, new knowledge tool, that will enable anyone, anywhere in the world, to easily and freely access:
TBD; but slates follow
Carefully-curated, evidence-based materials that showcase Israel’s incredible contributions to all major realms of human wellness, safety, and longevity
Personal testimonials from people throughout the world, explaining why they love Israel – and how her innovation, benevolence or generosity helped them, or even saved their lives
And professionally-produced infographics, short videos and even virtual reality applications, each of which condenses one essential fact about Israel into simple visual formats, that can be shared on social media, and beyond

Imagine the change that might happen if such a free knowledge tool were widely promoted, as a resource that everyone…

A split second from death: Gay man plummets to the ground after ISIS murderers throw him from a roof in Iraq, by Jennifer Newton, Daily Mail (UK), August 11, 2016. Excerpt:
A sickening new ISIS video has been released showing jihadis throwing a gay man to his death by pushing him off the top of a tall building.
The chilling video shows a member of the terror group preaching before a crowd of men and young boys who are gathered around the building in the ISIS-stronghold of Mosul in Iraq.
The extremist then tells them that the man has been found ‘guilty’ of being gay, which he claims means he should be sentenced to death under Sharia law.

Hate crimes in NY: Jews targeted in 2018 more than all other groups combined, by JTA, December 28, 2018. Excerpt:
New York saw more hate crimes against Jews in 2018 than all other targeted groups combined, according to police figures.
Anti-Semitic incidents rose by 22 percent from last year, NYPD figures show, according to a report Wednesday on Patch. Of the 352 hate crimes this year recorded as of Sunday, 183 were anti-Semitic incidents. Brooklyn has seen a spate of hate crimes against Jews in recent months, but the Patch report did not break down the figures by boroughs.
Overall, the tally of hate crimes in New York is up about 6 percent from 331 in the same time last year.
Evan Bernstein, the Anti-Defamation League’s New York Regional director, told Patch that those holding anti-Semitic beliefs are feeling emboldened. ADL believes that 12 to 14 percent of Americans hold such beliefs.

U.S. Sees String of Anti-Semitic Attacks Amid Gaza Violence, by Nia Prater, New York Magazine, May 24, 2021. Excerpt;
After an 11-day conflict that left 248 Gazans and 12 Israelis dead, the cease-fire established Friday between Israeli and Hamas appears to be holding. Meanwhile, the United States is still dealing with a wave of anti-Semitic violence that appears to be a ripple effect from the Gaza conflict. From New York to Los Angeles, there has been an uptick in reports of anti-Semitic attacks in the past two weeks. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said that it received 193 reports of possible anti-Semitic incidents in the week after the Gaza crisis began, up from 131 the previous week. Law enforcement and elected officials have condemned the violence and taken steps to combat it, with President Biden calling the attacks “despicable” on Monday.
In one prominent incident in New York, Joseph Borgen, a 29-year-old Jewish man, was attacked and beaten by a group of people near Times Square while heading to a rally on Thursday night. Footage of the attack was posted to social media.
“Before I can even react, I was surrounded by a crowd of people who, as you saw in the video, proceeded to beat me down and then, after the fact, pepper-spray and mace me,” Borgen said in an interview with CNN.
The NYPD has arrested one suspect in the incident, 23-year-old Waseem Awawdeh, who has been charged with “assault in the second degree as a hate crime and attempted gang assault in the first degree,” according to CNN. Awawdeh was allegedly seen on surveillance footage striking Borgen with a metal crutch.
