Re: [ha-Safran] Support for Israel

Thanks Beth this is helpful BUT this statement is from AJL NOT from ALA It would be good to hear from ALA an association of 50,000 vs AJL an association of 500 mostly Jewish and many Israelis. Thanks again Beth Shoshanah Get Outlook for iOS

Thanks to the NFL and the MBL (Major League Baseball) and Netflix and Ben Sasse the president of the University of Florida for voicing their disgust at Hamas terrorist acts of last Saturday. Did I miss a statement by the president of our professional association, ALA, or weren't there any? I gue
