Dear President Biden,
We are an organization of mothers of IDF warriors who are now serving on the front lines in the war for our national survival, in Gaza, along the northern border, in Judea and Samaria and along Israel’s eastern frontier.
We believe in our sons’ and daughters’ mission to protect our state and our people. We are proud of their accomplishments and courage.
We want to begin with our sincere thanks for your crucial support during these challenging times. Your leadership has been a great source of strength for our nation.
There can be no war more just and moral than the war Israel is currently fighting. After the atrocities the Palestinians, led by Hamas, committed against our people on October 7th, it is clear to all of us that the very survival of our beloved country, the State of Israel depends on their success. We are certain that through the combination of the iron will of the people of Israel, and the grace of God, we will prevail.
We recognize our sons and daughters as heroes who willingly face risks in answering the call to arms. We accept the inherent risks our sons and daughters take, but we cannot accept placing their lives in unnecessary danger due to concerns for the enemy population. Israel adheres to international law, which places responsibility for civilian lives on terrorists who use them as shields, not on those justified in attacking the terrorists.
Palestinian survey data shows that Palestinian society wholeheartedly supports the acts of genocide the enemy carried out against our people on October 7th. Thousands of Gazan civilians, including women, elderly and children participated in the slaughter, torture, mutilation, and burning of our brothers and sisters. Ordinary Palestinians gleefully looted our people’s homes and persons on October 7th. The survey data shows that three quarters of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria support Hamas and the slaughter Hamas terrorists led on October 7th.
