Dear friends of ECI,

As a matter of principle we rarely forward e-mails from other sources to our send list. This is an exception since we find this matter of such a great urgency.

By joining forces we can have a real influence in the battle against Israel, which is currently going on over the internet. Together as ECI we can make a difference in alerting Facebook about the hate campaign calling for a 3rd intifada against Israel. Please read the text below, pass on to your friends and take action.

Best regards,

Tomas Sandell

European Coalition for Israel

Friends:

This is something that everyone can and must do.  A Facebook page was created calling for a 3rd Intifada against Israel. It is mostly in Arabic. The creators of this page are calling for the Arab world to attack and take over Israel.  The number of people clicking on the "Like" button is increasing every hour (today they have 335,000 "likes", and it keeps increasing).

We must ask Facebook to take action and remove this page ? see directions below.

It's not important whether your personal politics are pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or just plain neutral.  INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST ANY RACIAL, ETHNIC, RELIGIOUS OR NATIONAL GROUP IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!

Please forward this urgent message to everybody on your email contact list ? When you send to others, please send using ?Bcc? (blind copy) so as not to expose your list to others.

THIS MONTH ALONE, 5 ISRAELI CIVILIANS INCLUDING A 3-MONTH OLD BABY WERE MURDERED WHILE SLEEPING IN THEIR HOME, A BOMB WAS DETONATED BESIDE A BUS IN JERUSALEM KILLING ONE PERSON AND INJURING 30 MORE. AS WELL, ISRAEL INTERCEPTED A SHIP CARRYING 50 TONS OF HIGH TECH WEAPONS WITH SOPHISTICATED MISSILES HEADED FOR GAZA.  THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT KIDDING AROUND AND FOR THEM TO USE FACEBOOK OR ANY OTHER MEANS TO CALL FOR MORE KILLING IS OBSCENE.

Directions:

JUST click on the link below to reach the Facebook page. Then scroll down the left side of the page where you will see "Report Page" in tiny print. Click on ?report page? and choose "Contains hate speech" (you can then choose a further option of ?targets a race or ethnicity?). Then click ?submit?. Thank you very much for helping.
