[Peace] Fwd: Zionist propaganda in the DI!

[Elisabeth Barnett]

Why not work with the DI on this one. They're clearly appalled by the 
content of these ads, but are supporting free speech. Maybe they would work 
with a group to publish alternative perspectives, either as editorials or 
discounted advertising.

If not, I agree with Karen Kohn re. distributing information widely. It's 
important to reach people with a different viewpoint.
