Our Mission
Stand Up for Israel’s mission:
Engage others to be as passionate about Israel as we are!
Over the past four and a half years, Israel has suffered from terrorist attacks on an almost unprecedented scale. Its citizens have had to live with the day-to-day fear of being blown up by suicide bombers or shot to death by Palestinian gunmen. More than 1000 Israelis have already lost their lives and many thousands more were maimed or psychologically scarred for life.
The violent confrontation that has existed since September 2000 is all the more tragic due to the fact that a peaceful settlement was so close at hand immediately prior to the start of the violence.
Although there has been international sympathy for the victims of terrorism, Israel’s inherent right to defend itself against terrorist attacks has been called into question. Israel has also been subjected to a world-wide campaign to delegitimize its very existence.
Moreover, certain basic issues concerning Israel itself have been increasingly misrepresented or misunderstood.
Stand Up for Israel! is committed to ensuring the peace and security of the Jewish homeland and to providing accurate information about Israel and the Middle East.
