Dear friends,

Today, Reuven Pedatzur, one of the most respected journalists of Haaretz, published a remarkable article on the al Dura blood-libel:

Mohammed al-Dura – Israel’s greatest PR failure
To read this article in Hebrew, please click here.

Don’t hesitate to comment on this article on the Haaretz website.

As this article explicitly states, the Israeli institutions responsible for maintaining positive PR – the IDF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in particular – failed to correct the calumny and other long-term damages caused by the al Dura hoax.
It is also important to remember that last July, Charles Enderlin, the French-Israeli journalist responsible for the al Dura hoax, received the French Legion of Honor from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, YOU can contribute to the redemption of Israel’s reputation by demanding for the case to be solved once and for all by contacting the Israeli ministry of Foreign Affairs (02-530 31 11) and asking for the spokesperson’s office.
You can also write to sar@mfa.gov.il and pniot@mfa.gov.il and mankal@mfa.gov.il
Also, please contact the French embassy in Israel by phone (03 520 83 00) and by email diplomatie@ambafrance-il.org to express your disappointment and your reprobation.

This is the first time I have called you to action.
If we are able to overwhelm these French and Israeli offices with phone calls and emails, things might change soon.

Last but not least, if you have friends in London and would like to spread awareness of the al Dura blood-libel, please inform them that by kind invitation of Baroness Cox, the Henry Jackson Society has invited me to present my evidence of the al Dura hoax on Wednesday 27th, January 2010 at the House of Lords.
If any of your friends would like to attend to this event, please ask them to write me directly (philippe@karsenty.fr) and I’ll send them the details.

I count on you TO ACT and SPREAD this message to the greatest of your abilities.

Thank you.
Philippe Karsenty
