Dear friends,  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Sorry for a second message so close to the last, but this is important.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

It has been brought to my attention that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and John Dugard are both under attack.  John Dugard for his <\/span> <\/font> opinion<\/u> <\/span> <\/font>  and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for publishing it.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

For all those that have asked how they can support the Palestinians, well, here is one way. Within the next 4 hours take a minute to write a letter to the editor thanking the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for running this honest piece.  I make a special appeal to all my Israeli and Jewish subscribers and friends to use this opportunity to speak out.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Write to letters@ajc.com<\/strong>.  Letters should be 200 words or less and include your name, address and telephone (for identification purposes only).  If you can, BCC me at sbahour@gmail.com.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Also, if you want to hear Jimmy Carter speak about his book directly, here are two sources:  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Lastly,  for those of you who are asking, Laila El-Haddad has failed to enter Gaza yet again…the  crossing was closed by the Israelis yet again.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Action please,<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
