The Action Update: The Fringe and Aid to Israel
One of the cornerstones of the US-Israel relationship is that with American support, Israel can acquire the most advanced means in which to defend itself. American aid enables Israel to maintain a qualitative military edge in a turbulent region. While not all American politicians agree with all Israeli actions all of the time, outside of the most fringe elected officials, there is widespread consensus that it is in America’s interest to ensure Israel has the ability to keep enemies like Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran at bay. In addition to being in our national security interest, standing with the leading democracy in the Middle East is the right thing to do.
The Action Update: Iran, Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah
In this week’s Action Update, we stroll through the Shia Crescent, from Iran to Lebanon, to discuss a whirlwind of issues relevant to U.S. national security and Israel. While we supported President Trump’s decision to rip up the Iran nuclear accord, and we back the administration’s maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic, Iran’s nuclear program continues to march forward, American taxpayer dollars continue to flow to the Lebanese Armed Forces unconditionally, and Hezbollah’s terrorist-army continues to threaten Israel. The situation bears further examination.
The Action Update: Iran Sanctions Waivers
This week’s Action Update comes at an unprecedented time for our country. While we are a single issue organization, we are a Christian organization and cannot ignore the suffering and frustrations of our brethren. Christians United for Israel has 8 million members. No doubt, many are in law enforcement and many are exercising their right to protest. Our prayer is that all Americans live the unambiguous admonition that “you love your neighbor as yourself.”

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, the leadership of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, released statements applauding President Donald Trump for signing the Never Again Education Act.
“This is an important win for our country. With the abhorrent rise in anti-Semitism sweeping across the nation we’ve seen the dramatic impact that ignorance about the Holocaust can have. No student’s education is complete without a firm understanding of the greatest genocide ever committed. This legislation takes an important step forward in ensuring the next generation understands the horrors and dangers of anti-Semitism. I am very grateful to the President for signing this bill into law,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.
“The President signing this bill today shows what a committed, bipartisan group of elected officials can do when they have the active support of the people and right on their side. We are very grateful to the leaders in Congress who moved this bill forward and to the President for signing this legislation,” noted CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra Parker.
With more than 8 million members, Christians United for Israel is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States and one of the leading Christian grassroots movements in the world. CUFI spans all fifty states and reaches millions with its educational message.
The CUFI Action Fund, a nonprofit 501(c)(4), nonpartisan organization, is related to the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). The Action Fund is dedicated to ensuring our elected officials hear the perspective of the millions of Christian Zionists across the country.

The Action Update: US-Israel Efforts to Combat COVID-19 and the Security Assistance and Military Capability Acts
Things are beginning to slowly return to normal in Washington, and as a result, elected officials and their staffs have had the breathing room to focus on items other than the novel coronavirus pandemic. In this week’s Action Update, we take a brief look at the status of three policy items the Action Fund is supporting.
The Action Update: Support and Importance for Security Assistance
Support for democracy, the rule of law, and equal rights are not Republican or Democratic values. They are core Western principles, and they are among the values that underpin the US-Israel relationship. That is why this special alliance has enjoyed widespread bipartisan support for decades. We at the CUFI Action Fund are committed to maintaining this support for Israel and ensuring that no matter which way the American political pendulum swings, the United States stands with Israel.
The Action Update: 2019 Saw Another Increase in Anti-Semitism
This past week, the Action Fund was focused on confronting two seemingly perennial enemies: the radical regime in Iran and the rising tide of anti-Semitism. The global pandemic, it would appear, has not softened the hearts of those who hate the Jewish people or the Jewish state.

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Action Fund released the following statement welcoming the recent influx of cosponsors to the Never Again Education Act.
“The Never Again Education Act is a top priority for the Action Fund, and we are thrilled the legislation now has a supermajority of cosponsors. We look forward to swift action on this bipartisan bill upon the Senate’s return to Washington,” said CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra Parker.
Last month, Action Fund Director of Government Affairs Alexandria Paolozzi joined with her counterpart at Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America (HWZOA), in authoring an op-ed laying out the importance of the bill.
In the piece, the authors noted, “Local jurisdictions will have to make their own decisions about curricula, but those who teach the Holocaust and its universal lessons should position educators to offer their very best. We cannot expect educators to teach a subject as intense as the Holocaust without instructional resources and professional support.”
“This legislation will ensure that educators wishing to teach about this important issue will have support from the federal government. We are very grateful to Senators Rosen and Cramer for their leadership on this bill,” Parker added.
