TodayinIsrael: QASSAM - Join a Virtual Showing this Sunday January 4, 2009 for Solidarity with Israel

Notice To My Readers

A couple of months ago I wrote that my hiatus from blogging would be resumed, but I am sorry to say that did not happen.

For the time being, my decision regarding this blog will be that during times of crisis and G-d forbid, war, I will resume the live blogging..that is daily or hourly updating.

At present there will not be a regular blog posting, however, from time to time I will bring an update or comment.

My reasons for this retreat are varied, including taking up residence for a while in one of many Israeli rabbit holes......according to a friend - the safest place to be when Israeli politics become too mishugana (crazy)

I realize I will lose some of my regular readers and for that I apologize. I appreciate your loyalty til now. Please check the other blog site: www.fromthehillsofjerusalem.blogspot.com

And truthfully, I will come out of the rabbit hole from time to time.....if you subscribe to this blog and check your subscribe list, any updates will show up there.

Thanks & L'hitraot

QASSAM - Join a Virtual Showing this Sunday January 4, 2009 for Solidarity with Israel

As this Gazan War continues, the anti-Israel/anti-semitic rhetoric is getting louder and louder. Most all foreign media present the conflict as something that just ocurred last week....as if Hamas fired one little rocket at Israel - just once - and we went berserk.

In an effort to combat such foolishness, this Sunday - via a unique "Israel Solidarity Showing" on the internet - 12Tribe Films, along with several co-sponsors, and in conjunction with Chutzpah Productions, will present Igal Hecht's compelling film on Sderot and the trauma of nearly 8 years of rocket attacks.

The information from 12 Tribes follows, including links for viewing the trailer, and how to order tickets ($9.99 via Paypal).

6th Tevet 5769, Jan. 1st, 2009

This Sunday, January 4th, join thousands of people worldwide in watching QASSAM, the powerful movie about people in Sderot, and share in their experiences over the past 8 years!
Click here to see the trailer for Qassam or follow this link:

The world today is mostly focused on criticizing Israel for it's attack on the terrorist forces in Gaza. Instead of criticizing Israel, the world should be asking what took Israel so long to respond to the 8 years of rocket attacks on its civilian population! Now is the time for us to show as much support and understanding for Israel as possible.

Your virtual movie ticket helps support organizations that support the people of Israel...and in particular the residents of the Southern communities most affected by rocket barrages.

Order your virtual movie ticket today: http://israelwecare.weebly.com

After ordering you will receive directions via email on accessing and viewing the movie that will be available for viewing on Sunday, January 4th from 7AM EST - 12PM PST.

Invite others to participate and help lift the spirits of those in their time of need.
