The next time you hear or read something that puts down Israel, don't wonder to yourself, "What is anyone going to do about it."

Write a piece you for local newspaper, set up information tables at your high school or college, or simply talk to people. Be a roving ambassador for Israel by explaining the true facts to everyone you meet. The worst thing that one can do is to remain quiet in times like this.
