Our Issues
With students returning to college campuses this month, the Jewish community fears for their safety amid renewed threats of anti-Semitic harassment. Tell Congress to protect Jewish students by supporting the Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act. This bill would prohibit universities that authorize anti-Semitic events on campus from participating in federal student loan and grant programs.
We cannot delay. The House must swiftly advance a supplemental aid package to provide crucial support to Israel, including funding for essential defense systems like the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow, which saved countless lives during Iran’s attack.
It's time for all of us to raise our voices. Contact your local representatives today and urge them to support the passage of this vital aid package. Together, we can ensure that Israel has the resources it needs to defend itself against terrorism and safeguard its future.
As Israel withstands brutal terrorist assaults and a direct attack from Iran, we must stand in solidarity with our ally as it attempts to defend itself from these threats. Tell your Members of Congress that now is the time to act and support these crucial aid bills and strengthen the bond between the United States and Israel.
Act now and stand with us to ensure the safety and security of Israel.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has failed in its obligations to help the Israelis taken hostage on Oct. 7 during Hamas' horrific terror attack. No visits have been undertaken to check on the well-being of the hostages or even get proof of life. Families who have come to the ICRC pleading to have medicines delivered to hostages with dire medical needs have been turned away.
In recent days, a complicated deal has emerged to get medicines to the hostages. While the ICRC is seemingly involved, it is still not living up to its responsibilities to visit the hostages and care for them, according to information currently available about the deal. It also comes over 100 days into the hostages' horrific ordeal.
At the same time, the ICRC, which is supposed to act in a neutral way, has been doing anything but —leveling harsh criticism at Israel but treating Hamas with leniency, even though Hamas has committed grave breaches of international humanitarian law (IHL) by, among other things, taking hundreds of hostages, engaging in widespread sexual violence, and targeting civilian communities in a large-scale killing spree that left over 1,200 dead. In Gaza, the ICRC has ignored years of Hamas violations of IHL by placing itself within hospitals and misusing ambulances.
Shocking incidents of anti-Semitism at Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Cooper Union, and many other schools have shined a light on the urgent problem of campus anti-Semitism.
Members of the House and Senate have introduced a bipartisan bill that would bolster the effort to fight anti-Semitism in colleges and universities by requiring the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of anti-Semitism when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.
Urge your Representatives and Senators to strengthen the fight against campus anti-Semitism by supporting this important bill.
Tell Congress the EU Must Ban Hezbollah Terrorism
It has been 10 years since the European Union banned the “military” wing of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed terror group that has attacked American, Jewish, and Israeli targets abroad, such as the 1994 car bombings of a Jewish community center in Argentina, the bombings of the Israeli Embassy in London, and the 2012 suicide bombing of a bus in Burgas, Bulgaria. The organization has a unified command structure that oversees all of the group’s disparate, and often illicit, activities. A ban on Hezbollah’s military branch has not stopped the political wing of the organization from operating openly in Europe, as it has done for years. Raising funds, recruiting, acquiring technological training and materials – all of these activities are allowed to continue with impunity in much of Europe. And in the European countries that have not banned Hezbollah in its entirety, no authority can stop the political arm of Hezbollah from using fungible assets to support the organization’s military and criminal activities.
The U.S. Congress must urge the EU to strike a serious blow to Hezbollah terrorism by banning the organization as a whole. Ask your Congress member to co-sponsor H. Res. 599, a bipartisan resolution that would urge the European Union to ban the Hezbollah terrorist group in its entirety.
Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, its ostracization by neighboring countries has been a barrier towards lasting peace and progress in the region. As more states establish peace and normalization agreements with Israel, the world can begin to see a future of prosperity and cooperation across borders in the Middle East and move beyond a past marred with conflict.
The Israel Relations Normalization Act aims to reinforce and expand these recent peace and normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. The bipartisan bill recognizes the potential to transform the region through regional trade and collaborative innovation. Join us and urge Congress to drive stability in the region by supporting this important legislation!
In the wake of a cease-fire agreement, the response from the United States must be to unequivocally condemn Hamas’ aggression and penalize the terrorist organization for its attacks on Israeli civilians. Urge your elected officials to support the bipartisan Palestinian International Terrorism Prevention Act and cut the flow of resources to anti-Israel terrorist groups.
