Pro-Israel Information
Sent To High School Grads
Early this month, StandWithUs-MI
mailed packets of Israel education pub-
lications to Jewish high school gradu-
ates. The intent was to provide facts
students would need if they encounter
anti-Israel bias on campus.
Among the items included is "Israel
101," a booklet that covers the history,
geography, politics, people and culture
of Israel. The packet contains instruc-
tions on how to defend Israel online.
