1. ADVOCATE
Urge your Congressional representative to sign a bipartisan letter that calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to take immediate action to end the incitement and stop the escalating violence. Click here for a sample letter and email it to: Rep. Grothmann, Rep. Moore, Rep. Ryan, or Rep. Sensenbrenner.

2. EDUCATE YOURSELF
Stay on top of the news. Read live blogs from Israel at The Times of Israel, The Jerusalem Post, and Haaretz. Follow the Facebook pages of The Milwaukee Jewish Federation, Hannah Rosenthal, and Elana Kahn. Visit The Israel Trauma Coalition to see how they are helping Israelis cope with the trauma that accompanies these vicious acts of terror.
3. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
Focus on the media. Read and share analyses from Middle East Media Research Institute, The Forward, Honest Reporting, CAMERA, and Palestinian Media Watch that are keeping a close eye on events and how they are being covered in the United States and around the world. If you see stories or headlines that mislead or “blame the victim,” set the record straight. Send letters to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Contact Sr. Vice President and Editor George Stanley by email or phone (414-224-2248).
