Subject: Im Tirtzu: A Month of Hard Work

This past month has been an extremely busy and productive month for Im Tirtzu.
We were able to see tangible results from our efforts throughout the month, climaxing today with an emergency session of the Knesset Education Committee that was held following our report highlighting the involvement of Israeli academics in the BDS phenomenon.
We started the month by combating the lies of the Nakba and continued to make media headlines with our campaign against the politicized conference of Ben-Gurion University featuring "Breaking the Silence." Our report on the involvement of Israeli academics in the BDS movement was the culmination of a month of hard work against those who are seeking to delegitimize Israel from within.
At the same time Im Tirtzu defended Zionism in two additional fronts. We published two reports, one exposing the organizations that work to divide Jerusalem backed by Palestinian foundations in Ramallah, and the other detailing the activities of the anti-Israel organizations included in the proposed "Transparency Bill." We were also present in the Knesset committee that discussed the bill, and spoke out against these organizations and their financial interests.
Lastly, I am attaching two pictures from the final lecture of this year's Program for Zionist Thought in Tel-Aviv University.
Below is a list of the English news that we appeared in over the past month:
