Friend of Israel, 

This month, 80 AIPAC leaders and I were in Israel as Palestinian terrorists in Gaza launched over 450 rockets at Israeli cities and towns.

All of us have since returned home safe. 

And the rocket barrage that forced hundreds of thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters has come to an end -- for now.

According to the IDF, Iron Dome intercepted over 90 percent of the rockets headed toward Israeli population centers, saving countless Israeli and Palestinian lives.

Rockets that could have crashed into Israeli homes, hospitals, schools and senior centers were shot down thanks to this remarkable, life-saving defense system.
 

Your support enables AIPAC to work with Congress each year to ensure Israel receives critical funding for the Iron Dome.

But Israel’s enemies are growing in strength. And unfortunately, you and I both know that this is not the last time terror groups will target Israelis.

So today, I ask that you stand with AIPAC once again.

Stand with AIPAC and help us educate both current members of Congress and candidates running in next year’s election about the threats facing Israel.

Stand with AIPAC and urge Congress to support vital missile defense programs like Iron Dome that help Israel to protect its citizens against missiles from Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.

Stand with AIPAC to ensure a brighter future for both the United States and our strategic ally Israel.

Thank you.
