The past few weeks have highlighted the true nature of some of America’s and Israel’s most dangerous foes in the Middle East.
In the face of deeply troubling images of desperate civilians attempting to escape the Taliban, we have seen celebratory messages from Palestinian terrorists and their Iranian supporters.
But there has been some solace in the knowledge that America’s alliance with Israel remains strong.
For while Iran, Hamas and the Taliban continue to prioritize terror and destruction over the well-being of innocent civilians, America and Israel stand together against terrorism.
Israel is the only true democracy in the region, a close counterterrorism partner, and a country upon which America can always depend. A strong U.S.-Israel relationship isn’t just morally correct; it’s a strategic imperative.
Yet political support for this essential relationship does not simply happen, and its continuation is not guaranteed. We have to advocate for it, build relationships, and engage with lawmakers across all 435 congressional districts.
We can't do this without help from supporters like you.
