About Those Bogus Criminal Charges Against Bibi...
Outrageous, slanderous attacks struck the Jewish nation through a series of U.N. judicial actions in late May. The onslaught came just nine months after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. As you know, those terrorists slaughtered some 1,200 Israelis and took 250 hostages in the worst assault on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Hamas committed unspeakable atrocities. These monsters baked and beheaded babies, raped women, burned innocent Israelis alive, and riddled their victims’ bodies with bullets.
The images of the carnage are nearly impossible to take in. — Mat
But nine months later, it’s not Hamas against which the global community is outraged — it’s Israel!
In just one week in May, the international community mobilized against Israel in a series of stunning moves:
- The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced his intention to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” At the same time, an International Court of Justice (ICJ) prosecutor called for the arrest of Hamas leaders, also on war crimes charges, creating an utterly reprehensible moral equivalence between Israel and genocidal Hamas.
- Three European countries — Ireland, Spain, and Norway — high-fived Hamas for its horrors against Israel by recognizing the nonexistent state of “Palestine.”
- The so-called International Court of Justice — the U.N.’s top court —ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive” in Rafah.
But Israel is unbowed. An Israeli spokesman declared that “no power on Earth will stop Israel from protecting its citizens and going after Hamas in Gaza.”
And Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to fight in Rafah, from which the world’s most humane military organization has already evacuated nearly a million Gazans for their own protection.
SIGN THE MAKE THEM PAY! PETITION NOW!
As friends of Israel, you and I must lift our voices NOW in Israel’s defense. I have prepared a special petition demanding that Congress deliver a devastating diplomatic counterpunch to Israel’s enemies by taking these three steps:
- Enact crippling sanctions against the ICC to punish this rogue enemy of Israel for its outrageous action to haul P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu into jail for “war crimes.” (You’ll be encouraged to know that Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans support legislation to impose tough sanctions against the ICC).
- Slash all U.N. funding! It’s a scandal that the U.S. still foots the lion’s share of the bloated budget for the world’s most toxic enemy of Israel. First on the chopping block should be the U.N.’s antisemitic International Court of Justice.
- Demand Joe Biden defend Israel at the U.N. Team Biden betrayed Israel in March, refusing to veto a one-sided U.N. Security Council resolution obligating Israel to lay down its arms, but not demanding that Hamas release its Israeli hostages. That betrayal MUST NOT happen again.
Your signature on the enclosed MAKE THEM PAY! petition is consequential and very much needed. Your voice matters ... together with other friends of Israel, we can impact Washington. Please sign and fax your petition today!
Your financial gift matters as well. The Jewish state is fighting for its very survival. But Israel’s enemies are marshaling forces to transform Israel into a pariah state — much like apartheid-era South Africa.
Will you make a generous gift now to expand and accelerate everything CIDI is doing to fight for Israel at this moment of maximum crisis for the Jewish state?
Thank you for your friendship with Israel and for your support as a friend and partner of Christians in Defense of Israel!
