Christians in Defense of Israel is working with members of Congress to stop him. But we need YOUR help. Fax Congress now, demanding they pass HR 1102 and S 431 – the UNRWA Accountability & Transparency Act. American citizens should NOT be forced to pay for Hamas’ terror training schools. - Mat

Earlier this month, under new Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) leadership, the U.S. House approved $14 billion in aid for Israel. Joe Biden almost immediately announced he would VETO that bill, should it pass the Senate.

Instead, Biden promised the butchers of Gaza $100 million in "relief." This week, Biden upped the ante, demanding Congress approve $9 billion in "humanitarian aid," the bulk of which will be given to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine.

But UNRWA has a long record of fostering antisemitic hate and endorsing genocide, building school lessons around "jihad," "martyrdom," and using words like "Jewish corpses" to teach verb conjugation in primary schools. Dozens of Gaza and West Bank UNRWA teachers openly celebrated Hamas' October 7 massacre. And official UNRWA supplies often conveniently seem to wind up in Hamas' hands.

In fact, the leadership of Hamas, despite being war criminals, have a combined net worth in the billions – billions watchdogs say are gleaned from UNRWA's "humanitarian" funds.

"I will not vote for a bill that includes UNRWA money, period. There’s no way to prevent it from getting to Hamas," said Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). "These people have American hostages."

"I have grave concerns about how we've been expending humanitarian aid in Gaza," said Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Thankfully, Republicans in Congress have introduced the "UNRWA Accountability & Transparency Act," a measure to slash all aid to UNRWA unless UNRWA first implements a series of reforms, including:

• Ending the teaching of hate for Israel in UNRWA’s 700 schools.
• Ensuring that no UNRWA employee is a member of Hamas or Hezbollah.
• Eliminating all anti-American, anti-Israel, and antisemitic rhetoric.
• Submitting to a comprehensive financial audit.

Joe Biden's anti-Jewish administration is making CIDI's job more difficult, and more important, than ever before.

We cannot do this vital work without the support of friends like YOU. Please, stand with us to bless Israel by giving generously today. Make a gift to defend Israel!
