That being said, I’m a friend of Jared’s and what we are really encouraging people to do is to contact the Israeli consulates and embassies in your home countries and express your disgust to them. It is crucial to do this today, and as early as possible, as Jared’s deportation hearing is scheduled for Sunday so today is the last opportunity to do this before he goes before Justice Solokov.

Any help any person can give, in this respect, will be appreciated beyond words by all of us who care about Jared, and care about freedom of the press.

SAMPLE LETTER/E-MAIL: [Dear Representative, Senator, President]

Please stand up for press freedom and for American citizens abroad. Please make a public statement calling for Israel to release journalist Jared Malsin, a US citizen, and allow him to continue his critical journalistic work in the Palestinian Territories.

Malsin is editor in chief of Ma’an English, an excellent news agency headquartered in Bethlehem and the largest independent news organization in the Palestinian Territories.

It is essential that Americans, who give Israel $7 million per day, be accurately informed on Israel-Palestine. If Ma’an’s ability to report the news is diminished through the incarceration and expulsion of its editors and the intimidation of its staff, our ability to learn the facts will be disastrously reduced.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has called for Malsin’s immediate release, stating: “Forcing a journalist who has violated no laws to leave Israel and the Occupied Territories is unacceptable…Israel should release Jared Malsin without delay and allow him to resume his work.”
