Just over a week ago, on December 31, the United Nations held yet another anti-Israel vote, this one demanding that the International Court at The Hague “investigate” Israel for “occupying” its own land.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is furious, declaring that the Israeli people are not “occupiers” and will NOT be bound by the U.N.’s blatantly anti-Israel resolution.
Both modern and ancient history, supported by the Torah, the Bible and multiple non-Judeo-Christian sources, documents the Jewish people’s historical residency and rightful ownership of the land known as Israel.
Yet, the U.N. charges that Israel should face “legal consequences arising from the ongoing violation by Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.” The resolution also contends that Israel is “altering the demographic composition, character and status” of the holy city of Jerusalem.
American tax dollars prop up the United Nations — to the tune of more than 11 billion dollars per year. No other country in the world contributes more to the U.N. than America. But the United Nations is using OUR money to destroy our great ally, Israel.
Please join me in demanding that the newly seated House of Representatives — which controls the U.S. government’s purse strings. DEFUND the U.N.!
Please take a moment right now to fax Congress and sign our petition demanding the new Congress DEFUND the U.N.
As you do, please also prayerfully consider making a much-needed donation to fund our important work in Washington, D.C., and around the world. Your support today will help CIDI make a strong and compelling case for why America should stand with Israel. You will bring comfort to Zion, showing Israelis that Christians stand with them.
Thank you for the good you do as you stand with, defend and BLESS Israel! May you and your family have a wonderful year full of God’s blessings in 2023!
Mat Staver
