I am matching donations to Magen David Adom.
John,
In the wake of this weekend's horrific and appalling terrorist attacks on
Israel, many of us are asking what we can do to help.
The atrocities and violence we have witnessed against unarmed Israeli
civilians -- women, children and elderly, murdered and kidnapped -- are almost
too difficult to bear and demand a response.
In Israel, hundreds of thousands of reservists have left their jobs and their
homes and reported for duty. Others have been lining up to donate blood.
As a longtime supporter of Magen David Adom (MDA) -- the Israeli Red Cross --
I'm stepping up my support for its lifesaving work, and I hope you will join
me. If you do, I will match your contribution.

I have been supporting MDA since the 1990s and in 2011 helped dedicate a
state-of-the-art EMS station in Jerusalem, which includes a modern blood
donation center, in honor of my father, William, a special moment for our
family.
MDA operates the country's ambulances and Medivac units, runs its emergency
dispatch system, and trains its paramedics. And as the sole blood supplier for
the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), MDA is also a lifeline for all those who risk
their lives for the freedom and security of the Israeli state.
Right now, MDA has a long list of needs, from life-saving equipment and
mobile intensive care units, to blood testing kits and basic supplies for first
responders. Given these and other urgent medical needs now facing the country,
I hope you will consider joining me by making a matched contribution to support
MDA:

Since the attacks began on Saturday, MDA's paramedics and volunteers have
been working around the clock to save lives, performing dangerous and heroic
work. MDA moved to its highest alert and activated every vehicle in its fleet
with full crews to provide treatment and transport for the wounded.
As I write this, many families in Israel are mourning loved ones or searching
for missing relatives. Many others are sheltering from rockets. We stand in
solidarity with them and with the entire nation of Israel.
Together, we can help them -- and help the people of Israel defend and
protect their freedom and security against terrorism.
