Last year, the U.N. Human Rights Council established an unprecedented and permanent Commission of Inquiry (COI) to target and delegitimize Israel.
Last week, the Commission issued its first report — and it was as bad as expected.
The report baselessly smears Israel, justifies terrorism against Israeli citizens, and lays the groundwork for future boycotts against the Jewish state.
We are thankful that the United States has rightly opposed the Commission and criticized its first report, but much more work is needed.
Going forward, the United States must lead the effort to abolish the COI. Please help stand with our ally Israel by taking these two steps today:
Join AIPAC today. Your support will provide the resources we need to ensure America stands with Israel against biased efforts to weaken, isolate and delegitimize the Jewish state.
As many in the international community continue to use the U.N. as a platform ridiculously single out the State of Israel, our work to ensure a strong U.S.-Israel relationship is more crucial than ever.
But we cannot take American support for Israel for granted. We must advocate for it, cultivate allies, and work closely with lawmakers in Congress.

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.
