After spending nearly a week in Israel as terrorists launched violent attacks against the Israelis, ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow said he is encouraged that nearly 50,000 Americans already have signed on to the ACLJ Proclamation for Solidarity with Israel which urges President Bush to stand firm and support Israel during this time of war.
“The battle against terrorism is front and center in the country of Israel,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “As Americans watch this war unfold in the Middle East, it is critical to show support for our friend – our ally – our partner in peace – Israel. True freedom and peace can only arise after the terrorist infrastructure has been eliminated. And, we support Israel in its efforts to do just that. Israel has every right to defend itself against terrorist organizations that have vowed to eliminate the nation of Israel. While these are extremely dangerous and difficult times, we stand with Israel and support their fight against terrorism and we encourage President Bush and the U.S. government to stand firm in its support of Israel.”
Sekulow is in Strasbourg, France this week – the home of the European Union and headquarters for the European Centre for Law and Justice, an organization affiliated with the ACLJ. Last week, Sekulow was in Israel as the battle against terrorism began to intensify. In just three days, Sekulow said nearly 50,000 Americans have signed on to the ACLJ Proclamation for Solidarity with Israel and he is hopeful that number will grow to 100,000 in the week ahead.
Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice specializes in constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C.
