This is the same New Israel Fund that once sponsored a
touring theatrical group that performed anti-Israel,
anti-Jewish skits in schools. Their skits inverted facts and
turned history on its head, for example by portraying Jews
committing terrorist acts against Arabs. A tipoff to the
nature of the tour group was their request that all Jewish
and Israeli symbols be removed from the auditorium of the
Boston-area Jewish day school in which the performance was
to be presented. (To his shame, the principal of the school
acquiesced to this demand, stripping the room of its Israeli
flag and Jewish articles.) It would appear that a common
theme of New Israel Fund projects is a denial of the Jewish
character of Israel and the assumption that Arab minority
citizens should not have to identify with the State.
