Campaign Unavailable

This week, GOP leaders launched a malicious campaign against the Democratic Party, using Israel as a political football - threatening almost six decades of bipartisan support for Israel. Republican ads on Capitol Hill and across the country feature full-page photographs of suicide bombers - claiming that Democrats are undecided when it comes to such heinous perpetrators of terrorism.

This GOP effort is a shandah - an embarrassment - and it threatens the crucial American consensus of support for Israel. This is no time to play politics with the State of Israel - Israel must never be used as a wedge issue. Such divisive politics are selfish, and this campaign threatens Israel, plain and simple.

Tell the GOP that enough is enough! Their campaign to use Israel to score cheap political points must stop now. NJDC has written top GOP officials demanding that they condemn this campaign, but we need your help.
