Dear A.,

The death toll in Israel continues to rise, as official accounts now list more than 700 Israelis murdered in this horrific terrorist attack – the population equivalent of 28,000 Americans. Tragically, we know this number is going to rise.

More than 100 Israelis have been abducted and taken into Gaza, reportedly including Israeli-Americans. 

The horrific stories and videos from both Israel and Gaza are sickening to the core, exposing Hamas’ cruelty and barbarism.

Included below are pictures of a family from Kibbutz Nir-Oz. Yossi, Margit, Shiri, Yarden, Ariel, and Kfir – grandparents, parents, a 3-year-old, and a 9-month-old – all kidnapped by Hamas and now in Gaza.

Click here to contact Congress with an important new message for members to amplify: Hamas must release all the hostages!

Be sure to forward this email and Congressional action to all your friends, family and colleagues.

This morning on ABC, Secretary Blinken said, “No country should be expected to live with the fear, the possibility, and now the actuality of terrorists crossing a border, coming into people’s homes, gunning them down in the street, dragging them across the border and making hostages of them.”

Soon thereafter, President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu for a second time in as many days and reaffirmed America’s total support for Israel. Secretary Austin announced the Pentagon was immediately sending munitions to Israel.

I encourage you to follow AIPAC on our various social media platforms, and we will provide regular updates via email.

May God protect the people of Israel and the brave soldiers of the IDF.

Sincerely,
