This month, Iranian-backed terrorists in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza fired nearly 60 rockets into Israel, targeting innocent Israeli civilians.
Thankfully, the terror that ensued from red-alert early warning sirens was met with the resounding booms of Iron Dome intercepting rockets overhead.
Israel’s ability to defend its citizens with lifesaving systems like Iron Dome is a direct result of the vital aid we lobby Congress for each year.
Yet, as we work to ensure Congress stands with Israel, anti-Israel forces in America are working to undermine this vital support.
Just this month, 14 members of Congress, including nine endorsed by J Street, signed a one-sided, anti-Israel letter demanding the Biden administration undermine this aid to Israel.
American support for Israel is critical to ensuring it has the resources needed to protect its citizens and directly confront terrorists threatening the Jewish state.
