Anti-Defamation League | www.adl.org
Pro-Israel students must be proactive rather than merely reactive on campus. Our job is to make a positive case for Israel, instead of focusing solely on refuting and counteracting anti-Israel agitation. The latter puts you in the position of always playing catch-up and acting within the parameters of the agenda that is set by your adversaries. When you move first, with positive pro-Israel programming, you get to define the issues of the debate and force the anti-Israel forces to respond to you.

Honest Reporting | www.honestreporting.com
The work of HonestReporting yields results. Since 2000, the organization prompted hundreds of apologies, retractions, and revisions from news outlets. These efforts are changing the face of the media and reporting of Israel throughout the world.
