Oprah is going to Israel for a solidarity visit.

Will she go to the Little Town of Bethlehem: Occupied Territory and bear witness to what the INDIGENOUS people of The Holy Land have suffered after 40 years of OCCUPATION.

Will she visit The Wall, which devours 1.5 MILLION USA TAX DOLLARS PER MILE of abominable concrete and electricfied razor wire.

Will she stand in solidarity with the NONVIOLENT resisters of the OCCUPATION?

Oprah Winfrey will be arriving in Israel for a solidarity visit in the near future, the queen of American talk shows announced Monday during an event at Manhattan's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

In the event, Winfrey was honored by the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity for her contribution to promoting humanitarian issues.

Wiesel called on Winfrey to visit Israel, where "the major war against terror is currently taking place."

In her speech, Winfrey said she sympathized with the suffering of the people of Israel, and that she intended to accept Wiesel's invitation and come with him to Israel.

Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Gillerman, who attended the event, said that a visit of a figure with such influence on the international media could help bring an end to the indifference towards the terror threat faced by Israelis.

Please drop Oprah an email @

Ask her to visit occupied territory and bear witness to the Christian Exodus, which has rendered their numbers to less than 1.3 from 20% of the total population of the Holy Land since 1948.
