The Power of 1

When Israelity contributor Liza heeded an e-mail request for action in the case of an inflammatory United Nations website classification, she got busy and got results.

Here’s her account, posted at for Pajamas Media.

A share:

…when this email arrived, I chose to act. And amazingly, I got results.

Here’s what the Email said:

“FW: UNDP (you won’t believe this….)

I urge all of you all to read the first two sentences in the website below and then write to the UNDP and express your feelings. Please pass it on to as many people as you can and ask them to do the same.

http://www.undp.org.lb/about/AboutLebanon.cfm”

The request was certainly straightforward enough. I went to the website to see what they were talking about. As an Israeli, I was highly displeased that this official UN site declared that Lebanon ”is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Palestine to the south.”

Unlike countless other Emails I’d received, this one bothered me enough that it was one I wasn’t going to pass over or just pass on. Instead, I contacted the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)….

Head on over to Pajamas for a rundown of what happened next.

Nice one, Liza.
