Dear A.,


A large group of senators viewed a closed-door screening of horrific footage from October 7. They
[link removed]
came away shaken — some in tears — after bearing witness to the atrocities captured on body cameras worn by the Hamas terrorists.


"Israel has to protect themselves and the world from the brutal, brutal terror that Hamas waged in Israel and has promised to wage again, said Senator Jacky Rosen."


"This was not combat," added Senator Ted Cruz. "This was the slaughter of innocent civilians. And the joy and celebration among those terrorists as they were murdering children — it simply defies words."


As more gruesome details emerge and witnesses
[link removed]
describe the horrors they witnessed, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are leading new calls to add political conditions on lifesaving security aid to our ally.


Senators Ben Cardin and John Fetterman are among the members rejecting these calls out of hand. "I don’t think there’s a need for conditionality," Cardin said yesterday. "Zero. Zero conditions," Fetterman told reporters today. "I stand with Israel, and they shouldn’t have any conditions."

TAKE ACTION NOW: NO NEW CONDITIONS ON AID.

Email your Senators and House members tonight. Urge them to expeditiously pass the full $14.3 billion for Israel requested by President Biden – without added political conditions – to ensure our ally has the resources it needs to win this war.

Call their offices tomorrow morning using our congressional call center:

Pro-Israel resolutions in the House: This evening, the House passed two pro-Israel resolutions supported by AIPAC. The first, passed unanimously, demands that Hamas immediately release all hostages and return them to Israel safely, while the second — with 412 voting in favor, Thomas Massie voting against, and Rashida Tliab voting present — reaffirms the State of Israel’s right to exist, rejects calls for Israel’s destruction, and condemns Hamas.

More hostages come home:

10 Israeli women and girls — ages 17 to 84 — were released from Hamas captivity today.

Harrowing video shows the Israelis being paraded by Hamas terrorists through angry mobs of Palestinians, shouting at them as they are handed over to the Red Cross.

Emotional reunions: Photos and videos across social media show the heart-wrenching moments when family members

first reunite with their loved ones. Yet for many, the hugs and tears come with the devastating news that parents and loved ones were murdered on October 7.


Noam (17) and Alma (13) Or were released yesterday, after being kept in tunnels for 52 days by Hamas. Only upon returning to Israel did they learn their mother had been killed and their father was still held hostage in Gaza.


The trauma endured by so many is starting to be shared with the world.

Thomas Hand , whose daughter Emily (9) was released on Sunday,

shared how she is still so frightened that she only speaks in whispers and is inconsolable at night.


Other
[link removed]
stories are emerging of Hamas forcing kids to watch videos of the October 7 massacre, and being threatened at gunpoint if they started to cry.

Hamas shows its barbaric evil: Hamas continues to
[link removed]
violate the pause agreement and torment Israelis with psychological warfare. Since the deal went into effect, Hamas has:
-
Fired rockets at Israeli civilians.
-
Bombed and opened fire at IDF soldiers.
-
Refused to release mothers with their children, as agreed to in the deal.
-
Prevented the Red Cross from visiting hostages and providing them medication.
-
Refused to release a 10-month-old baby.
I urge you to continue taking action each day. Ensure members of Congress hear from you, and forward this email to as many family and friends as you can so that they contact Congress as well.


Anti-Israel activists are flooding phones and inboxes. Our elected officials need to hear from us often.


Sincerely,

Adam Harris

Director of Communications

Support our work to keep Israel safe.



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.
