Description
We support Israel - her right to exist as an independent, undivided nation, in peace and security. We accept and respect all persons, regardless of faith, who support that right.
We are not affiliated with any political party, either in the United States or Israel; nor do we support any particular strategy or direction that we think Israel "should" take - that is up to her people and her democratically elected government. We do support a united Jerusalem as now exists, however, as that is the only way to guarantee access to persons of all faiths.
As anti-Zionism and anti-semitism are intrinsically related, we also work against anti-semitism in all of its forms.
