Information from Rabbi Union of the RCC
The Consulate of the State of Israel in Los Angeles has asked for our help in getting community members to express their support for Israel during this critical time. As you know the publicity on the Gaza campaign has been largely negative. Public officials who have expressed their understanding and support for Israel’s right to defend itself have themselves been strongly criticized, so it is especially important that we speak up and express our views and support for the elected leaders supporting Israel.

At our request the Israel Public Affairs Desk at the Consulate has drawn up suggested letters for your constituents to send to elected leaders. We urge you to email this to your contact lists, together with an urgent message pressing upon them the importance of shoring up political support at this time. A strong showing by the Orthodox community would be a Kiddush Hashem.

Dear Representative/Senator/Assemblymember/Mayor/Governor, (change as necessary)

I write to urge you to issue a statement in support of Israel’s right to defend its citizens from terrorism.

I write to thank you for your statement in support of Israel’s right to defend its citizens from terrorism.

With Israel being forced to take action in Gaza to defend its citizens from Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket and mortar fire, a bipartisan coalition of American leaders is voicing critical support for Israel’s defensive actions.

Since Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza — an effort intended to reduce violence and lay the groundwork for a future Palestinian state — Hamas has indiscriminately fired more than 6,300 rockets and mortars, including 600 in the past six weeks, at Israeli population centers.

Last spring, Israel tested whether Hamas would move toward peace by accepting Egypt’s proposal for a six-month lull in the fighting. Instead, Hamas significantly enhanced its arsenal, and ultimately resumed its rocket assaults. Despite Hamas’ aggression, Israel continues to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and is acting to limit civilian casualties in Gaza.

As Israel works to defend its citizens, the prime obligation of any government, I urge you to add your voice to those standing by Israel.
