- Responding to One-Sided Lectures
StandWithUs (www.standwithus.com) has developed a framework for responding to one-sided lectures against Israel, called the WAARF response.
W - WRITE to the greater Jewish community organizations (as well as non-Jewish pro-Israel organizations) when you hear about the one-sided classes or lectures being offered. Give everyone the date, topic and speakers. Some will attend with you. WRITE, also, to the schools administration, suggesting that they may not realize that they have invited a one-sided panel to address their students. Tell them that the community and supporters of the school will hold them accountable for the damage through biased presentations. Suggest that they immediately bring in a knowledgeable speaker with a more balanced perspective regarding the Middle East. Tell others to write. Give people the e-mail address for key staff at the school.
A - ATTEND the lecture. Be there. Be a witness. Take notes. Tape the lecture.
A - ASK pointed questions. In order to do this, you will need to be knowledgeable. Please learn the facts.
R - REVIEW the notes that you took at the lecture and write it up. Be fair. Tell the story. Don’t minimize, and don’t exaggerate. Send a copy to the pro-Israel organizations in your city. Send the story to publications.
F - FOLLOW UP. Send notes to the administration expressing your disappointment in their decision to host unfair lecturers, as well as a copy of your report. Offer to bring in speakers who would give the other perspective. Stay respectful. Send a copy of the audio tape to the administration with a letter of concern, and some examples from the tape.
