If you are frustrated with the large amount of anti-Israel propaganda being perpetrated in the Santa Fe area through the media, speakers, by non-profits, or others, you can use this site to learn more as advocates to speak out on behalf of Israel.
SFMEW has four purposes:
- To inform the SF community about Israel and the Middle East proactively, factually, positively.
- To counteract unfair or deceptive criticism of Israel by non-profits, media, and others in Santa Fe and surrounding areas.
- To publicize the positive economic ties that already exist and could be strengthened between Israel and New Mexico.
- To empower pro-Israel advocates with resources to effect purposes 1-3.
You can see some of the activities we’ve produced by browsing our website and looking at our EVENTS tab on our menu.
Join with us to be active in the community. Let our committee chairs know about your interest and willingness to help out:
- If you’d like to help counter the falsities being bandied about by anti-Israel groups and individuals through the media or foundations by writing letters to the editor or op-eds, contact Media@SFMEW.org.
- If you’d like to help us bring in topnotch speakers so the community can hear the facts (rather than the historical revisionists often brought in by the Lannan Foundation and others), contact Speakers@SFMEW.org.
- And if you’d like more information about economic development between Israel and Santa Fe, contact EconomicDevelopment@SFMEW.org.
