If you have ever wanted to refute misinformation about key issues or pro-actively explain Israel's positions on important issues but you lacked the time to look up details or did not even know where to find the info, our "Facts at Your Fingertips" is a handy stick-on-your-refrigerator solution. Culled from public information as well as some of the better sites on the Web, it can help when you contact media, lawmakers or the White House, or when you are discussing the Middle East with friends or family.

The Greater Philadelphia District of the Zionist Organization of America led a large pro-Israel demonstration across from the Israeli Consulate in Center City on June 4, 2010.

About 300 people from all walks of life: Jews and gentiles, city dwellers and suburbanites, young, old and middle-aged attended the hour-long rally.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, Jewish Exponent, Associated Press, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Channel 6 Action News covered our event. Thanks to PhillyIsrael.com and Z Street and ACT for helping to mobilize people for this rally.

ZOA sponsors a pro-Israel demonstration every Friday (except on Jewish holidays) from noon to 1 p.m. at 19th St. and John F. Kennedy Blvd., southwest corner. Please join us for all or part of the hour.
