It’s not a matter of if ... but when.

With victory close in its war against Hamas in Gaza, Israel is turning north to face a much more lethal and powerful terrorist force in Lebanon. And to wage the next necessary war to ensure Israel’s very survival.

Israel has no choice.

Since Oct. 8, Hezbollah has emptied out northern Israel by firing more than 5,000 missiles and drones. At least 70,000 Israelis have fled, leaving their homes and jobs to live in hotels or with family elsewhere in Israel.

Hezbollah — aka “The Party of Allah” — is an Iran-controlled, 100,000-man Islamic terror army waging an unprovoked air war against Israel. With an arsenal of 150,000 missiles and rockets, this armed-to-the teeth northern neighbor’s stated mission is to see the Jewish state “obliterated.”

Hezbollah’s near-daily shelling has made Israel’s north unlivable. TBN Israel reported: “We see empty streets, homes, shops, and fields, as well as burnt orchards and forests. It is a scene of devastation.”

Hezbollah attacks since October have killed 12 Israeli civilians and 15 IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers. More than a thousand homes, buildings, or infrastructure have been hit by the Hezbollah missile and drone onslaught in 130 communities across Israel’s north.

“The anguish of northern Galilee is simply unsustainable and must be ended, even at an exorbitant price,” insists former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren.

WILL BIDEN STAND WITH ISRAEL?

But with Israel on the brink of a hot war, it’s an open question as to whether Joe Biden will stand with the Jewish state.

With Biden catering to the pro-Hamas American Left in his bid to win Michigan and Minnesota, his support for Israel’s next fight may prove fickle — especially as November draws near. That’s why it’s crucial that we send House and Senate leaders a loud and clear message: Stand with Israel and force Joe Biden to do the same.

I am asking you to sign and fax our Defend Our Ally Israel! Petition. It calls on Congress to ensure munitions for Israel and stiff sanctions for Hezbollah.

As you respond with your signed petition, may I count on you to give generously to help us defend Israel?

Your valued support now will help CIDI mobilize pro-Israel Americans and generate support on Capitol Hill for Israel’s next must-win war — this time against Hezbollah, the Jewish state’s genocidal enemy to the north.

Finally, I ask you to pray for the people of Israel, their leaders, and especially the more than 100 hostages still held in Hamas’ Gaza bunkers.
