Tidbits: AJC, J Street on Iranian ship, Hebron and the Mets
- American Jewish Committee on Israel's seizure of an Iranian ship allegedly carrying arms to Hezbollah: "An unmistakable sign that the Tehran regime is fanning the flames of war and conflict in the Middle East."
- J Street, also on seizure: It "underscores the very real security threats Israel faces on a daily basis" and "highlights, as well, the need for vigorous efforts by Israel, the United States, and the international community to combat weapons smuggling in the region."
- Adalah-NY wants the New York Mets to cancel a Hebron Fund dinner at its stadium, CitiField, because the fund aids Hebron's settlers.
- Simon Wiesenthal Center wants the U.S. to announce it will veto any UN Security Council report on the Goldstone Report.

The New York Mets are wonderful organization and should be commended for their consistent support of the Jewish Community.
We owe them our thanks and gratitude, however not as much as we do the amazing Jewish residents of the Holy City of Hebron for safeguarding such a vital place for the Jewish People! This is an amazing event and deserves everyone’s support! The Mets have already made their contribution, have you?

THANK the Mets for standing up to the thugs who are trying to intimidate them into canceling an event for the Hebron Fund dinner.
