Take stand in solidarity with the State of Israel as it moves to put an end to Hamas' reign of terror there
NCYI recommend the following concerted actions to stand united with our Israeli brethren in their crisis:

3) Call the Israeli Embassy (202-364-5500) & the White House (202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414):
express your support for Israel's right to defend her people against acts of terrorism
4) Call your Senators and Congressional representatives and let them know that you strongly support Israel's actions to curb the spread of terrorism
5) Support the efforts of the brave IDF soldiers, who put their lives on the line every day to protect the Land of Israel and its citizens
