Goodnight, Yoram

Hello Yoram,

Thank you for your kind words. Many Israelis/Zionists interpret my work as being motivated towards the "destruction of Israel" or as meant to injure Jewish people (because there are anti-Israel and anti-Zionist posters at the PPPA) so it is very meaningful to me that you see value in my work which of course is not motivated by anti-Semitism but rather by a desire to tell the truth about the Palestinian-Zionist conflict.

I would love it if you cared to translate Hebrew posters. Rather then send you batches of posters just go here and you will be able to see all the posters that need translations. I will also include any comments/history/analysis you provide and give you credit.

PLEASE be sure to include the url for ANY posters you send me. I cannot find posters with just the title. I NEED the url.

toda rebah!

Dan

Hi Dan, You are doing wonderful work. If you want more assistance in translating Herbrew into English, just ask.
Send me three posters each time. And you'll get translation within 24 hours. If some research will be necessary, it might take several days.
Yoram.

Hi Yoram,

No. I do not have a staff. Just me. And no, I do not get "support" from the university other than academic/peer review since the PPPA is part of my graduate thesis project. NO one supports the PPPA...just me.
