In our opinion, the answer is: U.S. military assistance and U.S. diplomatic support in Israel’s war for survival.
Our program will feature Eric Giesser, AIPAC New England Regional Director, who will update us on the fight in Congress to fund Israel’s immediate $14 billion war needs and diplomacy needs as well as the $38 billion current “Memorandum of Understanding,” which annually funds Israel and which is up for renewal.
Our program also will focus on what you can do to help assure that Israel gets this military assistance and diplomatic support. We hope to see on the 28th!
