John,

We’ve seen the horror stories of Hamas kidnapping Israelis and taking them hostage in Gaza. In 2018, I saw firsthand the Gaza “Terror Tunnels.” They are sophisticated and designed for terrorism. This is money that could have been used for water, education, and agriculture in Gaza.

Instead, Hamas creates intricate mechanisms to maim, kidnap and kill; 300+ miles of tunnels to carry out the most horrific acts imaginable. Watch this critical video by clicking the thumbnail below to see what kind of enemy Israel is actually facing:

Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East; and their neighbor, Hamas, are Islamists hellbent on destroying them. It’s critical to know our enemies. These barbaric tunnels are just another example of why Israel must defend itself—forcefully.

Keep fighting,
