Manchester:

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR ISRAEL’S

 KIDNAPPED SOLDIERS AND THOSE MISSING IN

 ACTION

Don’t let the rain stop you from showing solidarity

with Israel’s kidnapped soldiers and those

missing in action

 

If you can’t join us outside M & S in Manchester

this Monday  July 16 between 12.45 and 2 p.m.

(see details below.) why not take a couple of

minutes at 1 p.m. to stop what you are doing and

add your prayer for their release

But we really hope to see as many as possible

standing with us to deliver a powerful message

 

The vigil is sponsored by the Zionist Central

Council and StandWithUs, supported by the

Missing in Action Campaign, JNF  UJIA, the Israel

Information Centre and the Jewish Representative

Council and local synagogues

For details of the London vigil organized by the ZF

see flyer at end of this mail

 

To show their support all the pupils of King David

and Yavneh schools will have a special assembly

and a two minute silence

 

We will be sending postcards to the Prime

Minister and to the UN and the International Red

Cross calling for them to do all they can to secure

the release of our missing Israelis    Where

possible we will be sending messages of comfort

to their families.    We have already been thanked

by Guy Hever’s family for what they term our

“holy work” which is very humbling

 

See list at the bottom of this mail

Also, Ron Arad, Zachary Baumel, Yehuda Katz, Zvi Feldman,

 

Guy Hever who have been missing far longer   If their names are

not as familiar to you it is because the media and the

international community have allowed them to virtually

disappear into oblivion, but to their families the lack of

knowledge of what has happened to them is a daily nightmare   

Zachary, Zvi and Yehuda have been missing for 9761 days!!   On

October 16th this year Ron Arad will have been missing for 21

years!!     Guy  disappeared without trace on 17th August 1997 on

his way back to his unit in the Golan Heights

 

The whole world  was active in securing a happy ending

for BBC reporter Alan Johnston after 114 days in

captivity   Yet there is an almost deafening silence when

it comes to calling for the release of the missing Israelis

 

Help us ensure we do not allow them to be forgotten

 

PLEASE   CONTACT Karen in the ZCC office to confirm if you are able to

attend   0161 740 8835

solidarity.   Contact number on the day  Joy Wolfe 07876192414

 

 

London:

The ZF have been asked by the families of the kidnapped soldiers to hold a vigil calling for their release and those

missing in action on Monday July 16 as part of an international day of action

Also for Ron Arad, Zachary Baumel, Yehuda Katz, Zvi Feldman, Guy Hever who have been missing far longer.  If their names are not as familiar to you, it is because the media and the

On October 16 2007 Ron Arad will have been missing for 21 years!   Guy disappeared without trace on 17 August 1997 on his way back to his unit in the Golan Heights.

 

Many governments were active in securing a happy ending for BBC reporter
