Dear A.,


American support for Israel is vital as it fights this war to protect its families, destroy Hamas, and free the hostages. While the overwhelming majority of Congress and Americans stand with Israel, Senator Bernie Sanders is forcing a vote this Tuesday on a resolution that could lead to the cutoff of ALL American aid to Israel.


We emailed you earlier today to call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on this resolution. Please continue to

call those offices and urge your friends and family to do the same.

Netanyahu speech reinforces goals


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that "Israel has no intention of permanently occupying Gaza or displacing its civilian population. Israel is fighting Hamas terrorists, not the Palestinian population, and we are doing so in full compliance with international law."

American leaders reject outrageous genocide charge against Israel


The Biden administration and members of Congress from both parties rejected South Africa&rsquo;s libelous and outrageous accusation of Israeli genocide, which the South African delegation presented today at the International Court of Justice.


"We have said repeatedly that we believe these allegations, this case, is unfounded, and that there's no basis for accusations of genocide against Israel," White House spokesperson John Kirby

told reporters today. "That's not a word that ought to be thrown around lightly. And we certainly don't believe that it applies here."


Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

called the case against Israel "absurd" and "outrageous," and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)

slammed it as "a judicial pogrom meant to punish the Jewish state."


Meanwhile, pro-Israel supporters demonstrated outside The Hague holding pictures of the 136 hostages still held captive in Gaza, chanting "Bring Them Home Now."

Houthis attack more shipping vessels


Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists continued to attack international shipping lanes, launching a ballistic missile at a vessel in the Arabian Sea. It was the 27th attack by the Iran-backed group since October.

6,000 tons of concrete, 1,800 tons of steel


That&rsquo;s the amount of material Hamas used to construct its underground labyrinth of terror tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip, according to

new intelligence released by the IDF.


Instead of using these resources to build homes, hospitals, mosques, and schools, the terrorists hijacked them from the people of Gaza and used them to build hundreds of miles of attack tunnels.

Watch and share this video about Hamas&rsquo; tunnel network.

MUST-WATCH: Hope, amid the anguish


Today was the 96th day in captivity for the hostages still held by Hamas.


In a remarkable and emotional display of Israeli resilience, the families of the hostages gathered today on the border with Gaza holding posters of their loved ones and microphones. Together in unison, they sang Israel&rsquo;s national anthem, Hatikvah &ndash; The Hope, across the border toward their relatives in Gaza.


Watch and share this powerful video below.
