1. Visit Israel

3. Learn about Israel
   The story of modern Israel is inspiring  and will make you feel proud of what has been accomplished in such a short amount of time. Ben Gurion called it the “old-new land” because it is a country refounded on thousands of years of history.
4. Advocate for Israel
   Many people tend to believe the news reports coming from Israel and don’t have a full understanding of what is actually happening. Attend a rally, write a talkback or letter to the editor and let people know the truth. Israel is not paradise, but the amount of criticism and reporting is not proportional. Other, more serious issues are hardly mentioned at the UN and world bodies, while many focus o Israel above all other countries.
5. Monitor the Media
