Send a letter or postcard
to the Coalition Knesset Members:
For example, to the honorable MK Zachi Hanegbi, the Knesset, Kiryat
Hamemshala, Jerusalem 91950. You don’t have to write a lot: "Oslo or go
home," for example, will bring the message clearly. One postcard can be
ignored, thousands of cards arriving make it harder.

Duplicate yourself:
copy this advertisement and post it at work. Make 50 copies and distribute
them among cars with pro-peace stickers., send them to friends by e-mail,
put it into your internet site, fax it to acquaintances, to offices with
whom you work,

Help publish this ad
again in the paper:
collect money, call the paper’s ad department and tell them you want
this ad to appear again. They will set a price and take care of it. In
order to print it in another paper all you have to do is to type it, make
a good print on a laser or ink-jet printer, and pay. In order to make sure
that they really printed the ad for which you paid, ask them to add some
chance number in the empty square at the bottom of the ad. Go for the small
local papers, they are cheaper.

Add a protest to all
your correspondence with government bodies
For example: "I am forwarding this payment but oppose its being used
for building in the settlements," "I am not prepared for my taxes being
wasted because of the government’s stupid policies," or any other version.

Send a fax to any government
office
(it can be the Prime Minister’s office, but doesn’t have to be), with
a simple message against the government policies and for the peace process.
This can be sent to any government ministry - the idea is to create pressure
upwards within the system. It is desirable to send a large number of faxes
so they cannot be ignored. Sample fax numbers: Prime Minister’s office:
02-6513955; Director of the Ministry of Justice: 02-6285438, Mayor of Jerusalem,
Ehud Ulmert, 02-6249430.

Phone government offices
and express dissatisfaction
Ask them to forward your dissatisfaction. You can call any numbers,
but not numbers dealing with the public (it is hard to receive them and
also bothers the public). Sample numbers: Office of the Minister of Communications,
Limor Livnat: 02-6706304. There are lots of numbers in any telephone book.

Post stickers
Everyone can choose stickers according to his taste and receive quantities
from the various organizations dealing with this (you can also cut the
organization’s name off the sticker if you don’t want to identify yourself
with it). Dor Shalom : 03-5755454, Peace Now: 03-5663291, Labor Party:
03-5209222, Hadash: 03-5280232, Meretz: 03-6360111, Bat Shalom: 02-5631477,
Netivot Shalom: 02-5610712, Gush Shalom: 03-5221732.

Hang sign from window or
porch
(can be obtained from every organization). Remember what force the
signs on the Golan had.
go up
Send a small donation
to any of these organizations
(doesn’t have to be large - every time Bibi makes you angry send some
organization 20-50 shekels in revenge).
go up
Kibbutzim, moshavim,
recreation sites:
hang signs on fences facing the highway. Don’t wait for the elections.
For this purpose every slogan can fit.
go up
Israelis abroad:
Send this ad to Israeli friends living abroad. There is no reason why
they shouldn’t send faxes or letters from there to the government offices
in Israel (it’s harder to ignore something coming from abroad). They could
also shower Israeli representatives abroad with letters and faxes that
could help the Israeli diplomats send concerned cables to Israel.

Other ideas for protest?
First of all, carry them out and then produce an ad like this one (which
duplicates itself), or think of other ways of sharing
the ideas with us> so that we can act as well.

Every one in his profession
will find a way to express his or her protest. You work in the media,
graphics, design, printing, on a paper? Write something, design a sticker,
send it to friends, hand it out to cars, suggest that one of the organizations
do it. You have a store, an office or a business? Put up a sticker or hang
a poster. Don’t be afraid of losing customers, because if we do nothing
we shall very soon all lose much more.
go up
Radio:
Call the talk programs on the radio (Galei Zahal: 03-5126666, Reshet
Bet: 03-5383311). Instead of hearing only the lunatics from the right,
we’ll let them hear some chatter from the left. Tell them, too, about this
ad.
