Israel is a lighthouse for freedom in a region infested with despots and terrorists. It is also a high-tech powerhouse, blessing the world with a flood of innovations in computers, communications, medicine and more. Many of these achievements came about through the efforts of highly trained and talented women in the Israeli workforce.

Perhaps that is yet another reason the Islamic Republic of Iran hates the Jewish state so much. In Iran, women are forbidden to take part in even the basic daily aspects of public life. Iranian women are forbidden from the workplace, except in small, limited roles such as midwifery. And it is all enforced by brutal “Morality Police” forces who mete out cruel Sharia (Islamic law) punishments upon whomever they chose.

In Iran, women are forbidden to do even simple things like singing, dancing or uncovering their ankles or wrists. They are also banned from driving and even voting—basic civil rights that the late Ayatollah Khomeini revoked after he decided that women voting was akin to prostitution!

In Iran, as I write, citizens are protesting another despicable and needless death of a woman who accidently violated the mullahs’ brutal Sharia codes.

In 2019, Iranian civil rights activist Saba Kord Afshari was sentenced to 24 years in prison for inciting “corruption and prostitution” by taking her headscarf off in public.

Three more women were sentenced to a total of 55 years in prison that same year for “disrespecting compulsory hijab” laws. Sadly, they were not the only ones that year, nor were they the last in the time since.

On August 15, 2022, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi announced that the Republic had installed facial recognition devices on public transportation to enforce proper hajib wearing. Just days later, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was beaten to death by the Islamic Morality Police for allowing a few strands of hair to escape her government-enforced hijab.

Don’t let Joe Biden use YOUR money to help the ayatollah enforce Sharia!

Joe Biden doesn’t seem to care about any of this. Nor does he seem to care that the billions of dollars he is about to give the ayatollah will be used to continue to enforce draconian laws that suppress and abuse the Iranian people.

Protests continue in Tehran and across the Islamic state—and the Islamist regime continues to crush them as they arise.

According to Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad, the Iranian people have a vehement new message for the Biden administration: “Stop saving our murderers.”

The Iranian people have had it with the brutal ayatollah and his regime. They have also had it with a U.S. administration whose history of rewarding the ayatollah with billions of dollars has only increased the brutal dictator’s powers. Biden’s new Iran Deal will only incite more violence and destroy more innocent Iranian lives.

The U.S. Senate can help the Iranian people by refusing to approve Joe Biden’s Iran Deal.

Please, fax the Senate and demand they put a stop to Joe Biden’s insane deal before it destroys the entire Middle East. Demand the Senate STAND WITH ISRAEL and STOP THE IRAN DEAL.

As you do, please also prayerfully consider making a recurring monthly donation to support our mission on Capitol Hill and around the world defending Israel. We cannot do this important work without you! Please, give generously today.
