FACTS  

Talk to your circle of acquaintances about Israel and expand their understanding of the situation.  Elevate the discussion to facts. 

​

• MILITARY AID:  Israel receives $3.3Billion in military aid from the US per year.  This money is earmarked only to be spent in the US on military purchases such as airplanes and weaponry.  Because of this restriction, the money is essentially recycled from the US to the US via Israel, thus creating jobs in the US.  A side benefit for the US is that technology advancements and improvements by Israel are shared between Israel and the US - very valuable to the US.

​​

• VOTING RIGHTS: Citizens of Israel, the Jewish State, vote in Israel and serve in the government / Knesset.  Citizens who are Moslems, Christians, Ba'hai, or Jewish all have the same rights in Israeli law.

​

• WOMEN: Women of all religions are successful in all areas of business and government.  There are no laws dictating nor restricting head-dress, clothing, driving, or education.  This makes Israel a more desirable society to participate in than in other mid-East countries.

​

• IMPROVING THE WORLD: Israel leads in technology advancements, used throughout the world, that has led to worldwide enjoyment of cell-phones, development of fast computers, breakthroughs in medicine, safer automobiles, increased yields in agriculture, creativity in design, and cleanliness of drinkable water, to name a few. 

​​

• GAZA:  The Gaza region is a strip of land with a beautiful beach front facing the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent to Egypt, sharing an inland border with Israel.  Israel turned over the entire Gaza area in 2005 to be controlled by the Gazans, who then voted for Hamas to be their leaders.  In the ensuing 18 years, Gaza has not developed an independent economy.  This region had the potential to be strong economically and to pursue a modern society with rights for women and for alternative lifestyles but has chosen a path of collective hatred and pursuit of destruction, as presented in their unprovoked and intentionally cruel massacre of over 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023.

YOUR LETTER TO YOUR CONGRESSPERSON MIGHT SAY:

Dear Congressperson:

​

With appreciation for your actions in Congress, please vote affirmatively to support Israel now with sufficient money for defense and for humanitarian aid for Israelis, to release US military equipment stored in Israel now, and to enable Israel to act unencumbered by US restrictions. 

 

Israel needs to remove the border threat completely in order to avoid a repeat of this murderous horror.  I urge you to represent my interests as your constituent and to vote without hesitation to unequivocally support Israel. 

 

I also urge you to leverage for lives the timing of the money that goes into the hands of HAMAS in order to get the hostages freed.
