Hi guys,
I don’t know how everyone missed this (atleast no one posted it) video on pro-Palestine that was aired on 60 mnts on CBS. I asked someone to post it here a week or so ago (you know who you are dumbo :p) but anywho. Here’s some links and an email I received about it today:
Recently we asked you to Thank CBS and Bob Simon for their excellent TV report exposing Israeli Apartheid tactics. Thousands like you responded by signing a letter of support. But we just learned from the folks at J-Street, a pro-peace Jewish group, that CBS IS UNDER ATTACK by the anti-Peace pro-Israel network for showing America the truth. If you haven’t seen the report you can watch it here.

CLICK HERE TO INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO SEND THEIR SUPPORT LETTERS
Here is what J-Street said about the groups behind the attack o CBS:
[CAMERA (the Orwellian-named Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America ) alerted their activist network - flooding the 60 Minutes’ offices and their advertisers with angry phone calls charging media bias. Jewish community leader Abe Foxman fired off a letter calling the piece “a hatchet job on Israel .”
Journalists - as well as rabbis, professors and elected officials - know that if they raise questions about what Israel does - they’ll often get attacked as anti-Israel. It’s one way the forces of the status quo constrain debate and discussion on what’s really best for Israel and the United States. We can’t let fringe groups like CAMERA define what it means to be pro-Israel through intimidation and fear tactics.]
SEND A THANK YOU NOTE TO BOB SIMON. IF YOU ALREADY SENT A NOTE, GET 5 OF YOUR FRIENDS TO SEND A NOTE TOO.
Thank you for continuing to advocate for peace and justice.
