Letter Campaign to Protest LA Times And Others For Running Ad Inviting People to the Golan Heights, ISRAEL

I just received this email from a dear friend which I feel is very important to pass on:

There is a two page ad in yesterday Oct. 14 L.A. Times magazine of a cowboy on a horse inviting the world to come visit him on his ranch in the Golan/
I am preparing a letter -- all Syrians should send a one or two paragraph letter protesting this to magazine@latimes.com
Each letter should be original. When you look at the Israeli cowboy on Syria's Golan -- a million things will come to mind to protest. A key complaint should be that Israel occupies land and REFUSES to give it back or admit it took it by force.
Just get those letters in -- if there are enough protests, the L.A. Times will at least print a few AND IT MAY STOP THE TIMES FROM RUNNING FUTURE ADS PRAISING ISRAELI OCCUPATION.
She's right, the ad is TWO pages in the very front of yesterday's LA Times Magazine: This is NOT the picture, but the text of the ad is precisely as written in the ad:


You'll love Israel from the first, "Shalom"

Yes, there are cowboys in Israel. The only difference is they say "Shalom" instead of "Howdy"
This is Ferstman Avshalon (again NOT the picture in the ad-but this IS a cowboy in the Golan Heights)
who looks after several hundred head of cattle on a 1,000 acre ranch in the Golan Heights. His father took him to a John Wayne Western when he was 12, forever dashing his mother's hopes that he would become a doctor and part-time violinist. He learned riding, roping and ranching at a Kibbutz as a teenager, and he's been ranching for 14 years. He now works his own spread with his wife and two young boys, who love computer games as much as horses. He's also an accomplished nature photographer, and as he says,"what better subject that the golden light of the Golan?" Israel. We hope to see you soon. Shalom.

ISRAEL: NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN YOU.
