[1] StandWithUs is a pro-Israel advocacy organisation.
StandWithUs was founded in Los Angeles in 2001 by Roz Rothstein, her husband [[Jerry Rothstein and Esther Renzer.[2]
The StandWithUs website describes its role as follows:
- StandWithUs is an international education organization that ensures that Israel's side of the story is told in communities, campuses, libraries, the media and churches through brochures, speakers, conferences, missions to Israel, and thousands of pages of Internet resources.[3]
The Middle East Times claimed in March 2009 that StandWithUs had been established by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.[4]
StandWithUs is a sponsor of HelpUsWin.org, a pro-Israel social networking campaign launched at the IDC Herzliya during the Israeli offensive in Gaza in January 2009.[5][6]
