New legislation proposed by Knesset member Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) seeks to cut all governmental cooperation with the New Israel Fund and other foreign bodies in Israel that support organizations funded by foreign governments. This development comes just days following a campaign against the NIF launched by Im Tirtzu. AFSI is proud to say that we have been supporters of Im Tirtzu, and its parent body, the Israel Independence Fund, from its inception.

“In all of the democratic world, only Israel suffers from a phenomenon in which a foreign political organization operates from within as an open and hostile political opposition against the elected government and the military,” said Im Tirtzu CEO Matan Peleg.

Just one day after PM Netanyahu’s stunning and dramatic presentation on Monday that exposed Iran for lying about being compliant in the nuclear ‘deal’, we’ve learned how Israel’sMossad agents smuggled half a ton of top-secret records from Iran’s nuclear program from Tehran to Israel.

This is today’s AFSI MUST READ.

In a letter sent  to the UN Security Council, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon wrote:

“Such a hateful diatribe against a people who have undergone thousands of years of intolerable persecution, is completely unacceptable. I call on all leaders of good faith to condemn these repeated hateful remarks and demand a full and sincere apology from Mr. Abbas. The Security Council must not stand idly by in the face of this incitement and apparent denial of Israel’s right to exist.”

Ayalim builds student villages throughout Israel. Ashalim is an amazing village, built by students from Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheba. They work and live in the village. In addition they volunteer many hours for the larger community.

CEO of CBN-Christian Broadcasting Network’s Gordon Robertson told The Jerusalem Post conference on Sunday that he realized that”Israel is constantly being subjected to inflammatory words like ‘occupation’ and apartheid,’ but having been to Israel so many times, I said we must do what we can to change the narrative and combat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and tell the real story of what Israel is doing.”

Last week, Im Tirtzu launched a new campaign against the New Israel Fund in light of the NIF’s increased anti-Israel activities.

The campaign began by placing a 100-foot long billboard on Tel-Aviv’s Ayalon Highway (along with hanging thousands of smaller posters throughout Israel), and by publishing a new report detailing the NIF’s modus operandi in delegitimizing Israel.

Below are two new videos from the campaign.

US President Donald Trump may travel to Israel next month to attend the opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem.

AFSI welcomes the President being in attendance at the opening of the embassy and will watch for a confirmation on this.

Reports over the weekend state that the Trump administration is seriously considering allowing Jonathan Pollard to move to Israel as urged by US and Israeli officials  at The Jerusalem Post Conference in New York on Sunday.

AFSI strongly supports Jonathan Pollard’s immigration to Israel and would love to see it happen in conjunction with the forthcoming opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem.
