We have just 30 days to go!
Friend of Israel,


I want to thank you for all you have done to support Israel's safety and security this past year.


The year began with a surge of street-level attacks by Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists, which included multiple shootings, car rammings, and stabbings. 35 Israelis have been killed in these attacks so far this year.


In May, Israelis endured an onslaught of 1,468 rockets fired over five days by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza. Since 2021, terror groups in Gaza have deliberately fired more than 7,000 rockets at Israeli civilians, with the goal to injure and kill as many innocent people as possible.


Israel also faced rocket attacks from the north and east. In April, terrorists fired 34 rockets from southern Lebanon into Israel. Days later, Iranian-backed forces in Syria fired six rockets, showing Iran’s strategy of using Syria as a new front against Israel. Then in June, terrorists in the northern West Bank fired two rockets at Israel — the first rocket fire from the West Bank in at least 18 years!



In July, the anti-Israel hate at the U.N. reached a new low when it published a report on children in armed conflict, saying it “welcomes letters received from Palestinian Islamic Jihad and from Hamas” — two designated terrorist groups!

Help us keep Israel safe

Amid these growing dangers, pro-Israel Americans like you engaged our leaders on Capitol Hill to ensure that bipartisan support for Israel’s security remained strong.


This year, your support helped us work with Congress to pass nearly $4 billion in security and missile defense funding for Israel.


You also helped us urge bipartisan majorities in Congress to send a clear message to Iran that there will be severe consequences if it further advances its nuclear program, as well as back Israel’s inclusion in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program.


But as Israel continues to face dangers on all fronts, and a small but vocal minority in America tries to jeopardize Israel’s safety by weakening the U.S.-Israel alliance, there is much more work to be done.

That is why I hope you will consider joining AIPAC and making an investment in our important work before our September 30th fiscal-year deadline.


Thank you for your support. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.


Sincerely,

Brian Shankman

Chief Strategy Director for National Affairs

P.S. AIPAC’s resources for the next year are highly dependent on donations received before September 30, when our fiscal year ends. Your support will help provide the resources we need to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship not only in the critical months ahead, but well into the future.


The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
