Israel is at war.
On October 8, 2023, Israel declared war.
One day earlier, Hamas carried out a shocking attack against innocent Israelis, brutally murdering over 1,200 Israeli men, women, and children and kidnapping more than 230. It was the largest single-day slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Over the next 14 months, Israel would withstand near-daily rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed terror groups – Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen – each equally committed to Israel’s destruction. The Iranian regime itself participated in multiple unprecedented missile attacks against Israel from Iranian soil.
Since the 10/7 Massacre, Israel has been engaged in a multi-front war, yet has exercised profound restraint, responding to enemy attacks with limited, pinpoint strikes on high-value targets with as little possible harm to civilians.
At present, the once fearsome terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah, are mere shadows of their former selves. This noted, while no longer a strategic threat to the Jewish state, both terrorist groups are actively seeking to re-arm, and re-engage in widespread terrorism.
Meanwhile, pro-Hamas and Hezbollah demonstrations are taking place in cities and on college campuses across America, and Jewish people worldwide are at the focus of a level of antisemitism unprecedented in nearly half a century.
Now is the time to demonstrate to Israel and the Jewish people that those advocating for the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Jews do not represent America. Now, more than ever we must ensure that Israel knows, she is not alone.
