We cannot turn our backs on Israel

Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE asks Americans to stand by Israel.
excerpt

"ISRAEL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT RIGHT NOW.

We've watched smoke billowing into the sky where rockets have fallen - fired by the terrorist Hamas organization into civilian areas, playgrounds where children play -

8,000 rockets have landed on Israeli towns - the Israeli military had no choice but to stop the bombardment by destroying Hamas's weapons of terror...

ISRAEL MUST FINISH THE JOB - or more children will die. More lives will be shattered by incoming rocket fire.

The international media are crying out that Israel is the aggressor here - but we must speak out with a united voice, in solidarity with Israel, to proclaim the truth: Hamas is not a peace-loving, innocent victim - they are thugs who want to destroy Israel - in fact, they are aligned with Iran. So this is not just about Israel and a neighbor; this is a war of the Western world against people who want to destroy our entire way of life.

You have been a friend of Israel. For that, I am grateful. But Israel needs you today as never before. When terrorists are allowed to thrive in any nation, we are ALL THREATENED."
