Dear Debra V. Wilson,

Just Getting Started

One week into the most ambitious CIS campaign ever, I'd like to share with you what we've been doing in phase one (to last through December 31st), which is dedicated to introducing the subject of "No annexation, separation!" into the public discourse.

We close the first week with well over two hundred signatures of retired IDF generals and Mossad, Shin Bet and police equivalents, on full page ads featuring the campaign's theme:
"For Israel's Security, it's time to Divorce the Palestinians".

[CIS polling and focus groups found this formulation to be more effective than all others tested in overcoming psychological barriers to the notion of - and in enhancing/mobilizing support for - separation in the service of short term security and long term two-state solution.]


(Click on the picture to enlarge)

The campaign began on Thursday (December 6th), with over 500 billboards plastered all over the country, featuring several key leaders and calling upon them to lead that 'divorce'. The same message flooded smartphones, social media, and online news channels as well as full page ads in the press.

This was also the beginning of free media activity by a dozen CIS members, accentuating the imminence of annexationists' plans to legislate West Bank annexation and the devastating consequences to Israel's security and otherwise should they have their way (as detailed in the CIS report: "Ramifications of West Bank Annexation"); as well as the need and opportunity for separating from the Palestinians (as spelled out in the CIS plan: "Security First").
