Thank you for adding your voice to the many supporters of Israel in the Los Angeles area who oppose Israel's new "Entry Law".

Suggested text for your message to the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles is below in a screen shot of their Contact Form. It is written as if you attended the Celebrate Israel Festival on Sunday, May 7, so that should be deleted if it doesn't apply.

Go HERE to get to the Consulate General's Comment Form.

Note: The form limits the number of words in the message, and you can also deliver a message by phone (323-852-5500) or email (consular-global@la.mfa.gov.il). 

Go HERE for our resource page on this issue, including a link to a past ACTION ALERT that has information you will find useful.

We would appreciate you emailing us at apnwest@peacenow.org to indicate you have indeed sent a message to the Israel Consulate. We can be reached via that email or at 323-934-3480 if you have any questions or would like further information.

Thank you!

Friedman, whom the Jewish Daily Forward Newspaper listed as a "must-read pundit on the Middle East," is a go-to expert for those working inside government, those looking to influence U.S. policy, and for journalists. Her opeds and analyses are frequently published in the US and Israeli press, and she is a highly requested and respected speaker in forums throughout the U.S. and internationally.

We recognize that the final US Presidential Debate is the evening of October 19th, so we have changed the start time to 8:00 pm. You will thus have the opportunity to watch the debate in its entirety, and then have a discussion with a leading expert on the issues that are relevant to Israel, and to US Foreign Policy towards Israel and the Middle East.
