Dear Friends,
Using our own funds, NorCal Friends of Sabeel recently ran the ad shown below in three BART stations. Two groups joined us with their endorsements � Jewish Voice for Peace Bay Area and American Muslims for Palestine. The ad was created by a Chicago group, Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine, which generously shared its resources with us.
Although this ad, nonviolent and inclusive in spirit, appeared without incident on many stations and trains in the Chicago Transit Authority this past fall, Bay Area members of the Israel Lobby have responded to our appeal for peace and justice with the ad shown below. It went up in six BART stations this week.
The ad lists a website claiming that Palestinians teach their children to hate, and that this is the real obstacle to peace � not the occupation, not the confiscation of land and water, and not the deadly attacks on Gaza and the flotilla.

Please help us to counter this effort to demonize Palestinians by supporting our message of peace and justice. We need to spread the word that both Israelis and Palestinians suffer from our policy of unconditional military aid to Israel. We also need to show the face of Israelis who seek justice for Palestinians. Help us to buy more of our ads to display in the Bay Area.
We cannot do this without financial help, and we ask you to donate whatever you can by writing a check to FOSNA (a 501c3 organization) with �Bay Area ad campaign� written on the memo line. Mail this check to John Erickson /NorCal Friends of Sabeel /1700 Shattuck Ave. #314/ Berkeley, CA 94709.
If you prefer to donate online, you can visit the website www.TwoPeoplesOneFuture.org and click on the button saying �New Campaign � San Francisco Bay Area.� There you will find our own web page with a Donate button. Please be sure to designate your funds for the Bay Area Ad Campaign.
Many thanks for your support!
