Dear Agudah Activist:
We have all been following the daily, even hourly, reports coming from Israel. And they are absolutely terrifying.
Our dear brothers and sisters are victims of thousands of rockets fired by Hamas and other terror groups into the heart of the country, resulting in rising deaths and casualties. President Biden has condemned these attacks and expressed support for Israel's security and its right to defend itself. We are grateful for that support and for the backing of so many in Congress and of other elected officials.
Tragically, however, there are those in both the political world and in the media that justify Hamas's terror while condemning Israel's retaliation. But there is no "moral equivalency" here. Hamas is firing at innocents, while Israel protects its citizens. Hamas rejects the very existence of Israel, while Israel has reached out to all in the Arab world seeking peace.
At this dangerous moment, it is critical for Congress to use its powerful voice and act as a beacon of support for our ally, Israel, as it is facing such grave danger. They must speak out loudly and without equivocation.
STAND BY ISRAEL, SUPPORT ITS RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF, REJECT HAMAS TERROR
Please do this today and, as we continue to daven to the Ribbono Shel Olam, may calm be restored to Artzeinu Hakedoshah.
Rabbi Abba Cohen
Vice President for Government Affairs
