The front says:
100 Years of Shrinking Israel
1922: British partition of Jewish homeland in former Ottoman Empire
1967: Israel’s borders after Six-Day War
1982 & 1994: Israel gives up land in peace treaties with Egypt & Jordan
Today: Israel gave up all of Gaza and has offered 99% of West Bank for peace with Palestinians
.
The back says:
Israel wishes to maintain a secure and enduring peace with all of its neighbors. It has tried to negotiate territorial concessions to reach this goal with Palestinian people and their leaders.
Did you know that 1-in-5 Israelis are Palestinians who coexist peacefully and have the same rights and opportunities as any other citizen? Palestinian citizens in Israel vote, serve on Israel’s Supreme Court and in its parliament, volunteer for its national service, have equal access to Israel’s health care system and can buy houses and own land.
Experts estimate that American aid to Israel creates 130,000 jobs in the United States. The U.S. spends more than 40 times more every year for the defense of Europe and more than 10 times more for the defense of Japan, Korea, and the Far East. Not one single U.S. soldier needs to be stationed and put at risk in Israel. U.S. military analysts estimate that in the Middle East, the U.S. would have to spend the equivalent of 50 times the aid it gives to Israel to maintain a force equivalent to Israel’s.
Write to your congressperson to continue American aid to Israel to support American interests and security in the Middle East.

Palestinians buy Israeli goods
|
Hamas Boycott Ended on January 25, 2015: While Israeli products have entered the Gaza Strip in the past five years and been sold there, their purchase was officially condemned by the Hamas government that runs Gaza. However, that has changed with the latest news. Now all Palestinians can freely purchase Israeli goods. “We decided to allow (Israeli) products to enter so that the market is not hindered and so products are available,” said Gaza’s Ministry of Economy. Palestinians living in the West Bank purchased more than $4.5 billion in Israeli goods last year. With Gaza now open, Israeli-Palestinian trade should climb dramatically in 2015. American and European anti-Israel protestors now alone in advocating boycott of Israel. |

A History of Boycotts against Israel
1922: Arab boycott of Jewish businesses in holyland
1929: Arab mobs attack Arabs who buy from Jews
1933 – 1945: Grand Mufti supports Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses; Arab Executive Committee pickets Jewish businesses in holyland
1945 – 2006: Arab League declares formal boycott against Israel. Boycott collapses in 2006 after Israel withdraws from Gaza
2006 – present: BDS activists want Europeans and North Americans to Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel (Palestinians ignore BDS and import $4.5 billion of Israeli goods annually)
BDS is pure racism. Even Palestinians ignore it.
