WOMEN FOR ISRAEL'S TOMORROW

WOMEN IN GREEN

WHO WE ARE

http://www.womeningreen.org/index.htm?

Women for Israel's Tomorrow (Women in Green) is a rapidly growing grassroots women's movement -- grandmothers, mothers, wives, and daughters; housewives and professionals; secular and religious -- all bound together by a shared love, devotion and concern for Israel. We are not affiliated with, nor do we support, any particular political party. We have chapters throughout Israel and abroad, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Toronto. We also have many men among our supporters.

In existence only since late 1993, the Women for Israel's Tomorrow, a registered non-profit organization, has accomplished a great deal. In addition to weekly street theater and public demonstrations, we write weekly articles, commission posters, advertise in newspapers, and lecture to groups in order to educate the electorate on the consequences of certain government policies, such as abandoning the Golan Heights for an illusory promise of peace, and pandering to Arafat, without requiring him to live up to his obligations under the Oslo Accords. We insist that Israel remain a Jewish state. We are actively and intimately connected with the fight to preserve a united Jerusalem. We support and encourage the brave Jewish community in the ancient city of Hebron, and sponsor annual Hanukkah and Purim parties with gifts and professional entertainment for the isolated Jewish children in that community.

Our movement is dedicated to the security and Jewish heritage of historic Israel, and we are outspoken in support of our cause. We are popularly known as the "Women in Green" because of the green hats we wear.

A leading Hebrew newspaper, Maariv, has described us as "the most authentic and exciting popular resistance movement to have arisen here (in Israel) in the last few years".
