Your Voice is Requested (by Oct. 19)
-Amy Zewe
The Jerusalem Connection continues to alter its previously prepared communication schedule for timely updates and action items for our network to know and pursue in the wake of the Hamas terror attacks on civilians in Israel and the resulting need for Operation Iron Swords.
The carnage is unfortunately spilling beyond the borders of Israel and into public, political, and educational spheres around the world.
Shelley Neese, our President, and I are members of the steering committee for the American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLforIsrael.com). This is a coalition of Christians from a wide variety of ministries, non-profits, and other agencies who collaborate as necessary to communicate to our nation and the world’s leadership. The ACLI mission: On behalf of the tens of millions of American Christians that we collectively represent, we the members of ACLI seek to provide a unified voice of truth to the American public in support of Israel and the Jewish people.
To this end, on October 13, we called an emergency meeting to set a roadmap of how we can collectively share this voice with a variety of leadership organizations to urge them all to take a steadfast and unwavering position against terrorism and the slaughter of innocents on October 7, 2023, and to provide uninterrupted solidarity with Israel and the global Jewish population.
The result is three petitions for delivery to the UN, The White House, and University and College leadership across the country. These are currently being signed by Christians across the nation, of every denomination, and within every role within their communities.
Please access these letters at ACLforIsrael.com and read them, sign them, and share the links with your networks.
You do not need to be an official or formal member of the ACLI to sign these petitions. But, please sign them quickly.
The goal is to deliver these letters by October 20, 2023.
I urge you to visit the ACLIforIsrael.com website and access the Campaigns tab and within the dropdown menu, click 2023 Israel-Hamas war.
You can sign all three at once with the fill-in form on the page with the links to all three letters. OR, you can read and sign each one separately.
On the Campaign page for 2023, you will see access to each of the letters: The UN, The White House, and University and College leaderships across the country.
Click into each, read them carefully, and then fill out the fields to submit your name. Your position can be anything from business owner to head of household. If you are retired, active-duty military, student, full-time mom, or teacher–any profession or role makes you a Christian Leader! This is NOT only for the clergy or church employees to sign. Christian leaders mean Christians who lead! You can lead the way by helping communicate the voices of millions of Christians to key leaders domestically and internationally.
Again, please urge your own networks to also use the link to sign the petition—and to do so quickly.
We will continue our communications with these leadership entities to ensure that each receiver knows they cannot waiver on their stance or bow to progressive pressure to normalize acts or terrors or conflate terrorists with unfortunate collateral damage.
You only have to copy the link: https://aclforisrael.com/2023-israel-hamas-war/ and paste it into an email or text message to quickly share this petition with your Christian friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues.
Continue praying the Psalms—we suggest Psalms 17, 20, and 122.
Shavua Tov. Have a great week
