Israel's enemies will stop at nothing to harm the Jewish state. This year alone:
► 34 Israelis have been killed in a wave of shooting, stabbing and car ramming attacks, inspired and orchestrated by Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists.
► Terrorists in Gaza fired 1,468 rockets at Israel over five days, seeking to injure and kill as many innocent people as possible.
► Iran further ramped up its aggression, investing as much as $7 billion to support terrorist proxies while testing ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
Thankfully, with help from the United States, Israel had the resources needed to defend itself, and prevent an even greater loss of human life.
This year, AIPAC supporters worked with Congress to secure $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel, as well as an additional $500 million in U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation for life-saving systems like Iron Dome.
But this type of vital U.S. support for Israel does not simply happen — and its continuation is not guaranteed. We have to advocate for it, build relationships, and engage with lawmakers across all 435 congressional districts.
We can't do this without help from AIPAC members like you.
