Help me Fight Antisemitism in the UK – NOW!

Today, voters in Britain go to the polls. One of the two major parties – the Labour Party, under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, has become infected with systemic antisemitism. Whether he wins a mandate to lead Britain or not, Jews in the UK are going to wake up on Friday morning to discover that millions of their fellow citizens have voted for a party that's friendly to Jew haters. A party that is leading a normalization of antisemitism so pervasive that Britain's Chief Rabbi has said, “the very soul of our nation is at stake.”

But Jews and their supporters in the UK are fighting back. The recent recognition by the British government that the “political wing” of Hizbollah is just as much an illegal terror group as its “military wing” is a notable victory. For years Jew-haters have paraded through the streets of London waving the Hizbollah flag to incite and intimidate, claiming that they were only supporting the "political wing". The standard of the terrorists is now banned!
Do you wish you could do something to help? You can!

A key part of the fightback comes from local, grassroots “Friends of Israel” groups who operate on a shoestring and are staffed by volunteers. As you know, I train advocates for Israel, and in April 2018 I went to the UK to run a series of advocacy skills workshops for these groups. This only happened because of the support of people like you. These brave advocates want more! The people I trained in 2018 have invited me to return, and still more activists have asked for training. Please contribute to this campaign to help Jews on the cutting edge fight back.

Don’t worry if you can’t contribute much, literally every dollar counts in this campaign. Please click the link to go to learn more and to contribute.

I was just contacted by a high school in NJ who would like me to come and speak for them on Yom HaAtzmaut. I said I would if I could line up a few other bookings around that date to make a trip worth while. Although I'm interested primarily in the New York-New Jersey area I could go anywhere in the USA or Canada.

If anyone is interested/has some leads, please be in touch ASAP.
