What is Toldot Yisrael? Called by Israel's Ambassador to the US Michael Oren, “a project of paramount importance for Israel and its supporters worldwide,” Toldot Yisrael is a Jerusalem based nonprofit dedicated to recording and sharing the firsthand testimonies of the men and women who helped found the State of Israel. Over 500 video interviews have been conducted with those who were involved during the pre-State struggle and the momentous events of 1948. Toldot Yisrael’s aim is to conduct hundreds more over the next few years – while it is still possible. The footage is being developed into a website, educational material, and films that will bring authentic accounts of the founding of the State of Israel to the general public - both in Israel and the Diaspora.
Eyewitness 1948 is a short film series, produced by Toldot Yisrael and the History Channel. It is the centerpiece of an Israel Education pilot program for the US developed with The iCenter and made possible through the generous support of the Jim Joseph Foundation and others. The Eyewitness 1948 films use Toldot Yisrael’s interview footage to tell the stories of Israel’s founding through the eyes of the people who lived it.
The Volunteers: Answering the Call of History Volunteers from around the world fought in Israel's War of Independence and helped acquire weapons, army surplus, and even airplanes and aircraft carriers for the fledgling state. These are some of their stories.

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!
email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.
There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
