The United States has strongly objected to this approach, with Congress overwhelmingly passing resolutions threatening cuts in aid if the Palestinians continue to shun peace talks and go forward in their harmful efforts at the United Nations.
However, the Palestinians have not yet abandoned this path and more action is now needed to persuade them to change course and return to the negotiating table.
If America fails in this effort, the consequences could be immense: Israelis could be dragged into foreign courts and charged with human rights violations...nations could implement sweeping economic sanctions...the Jewish presence in east Jerusalem could come under severe international challenge.
That is why I am writing to ask for your help by joining the work of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee today.
In the coming weeks AIPAC and its members will be working with our leader in Washington to:
- Ensure the United States makes clear to the Palestinians that it will veto any such resolution at the U.N. Security Council.
- Urge our government to press the PA to return to the negotiating table with Israel.
- Urge the United States to press foreign leaders to oppose Palestinian intransigence and support direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
For nearly 60 years, AIPAC has worked to make Israel more secure by ensuring American support remains strong.
As an AIPAC member, you help us work year-round with both Democratic and Republican political leaders to enact public policy that strengthens the vital U.S.-Israel relationship.
Thank you for your support. Please watch for additional updates on the Palestinian U.N. bid in the coming weeks.
Onward Together,
Lee Rosenberg
AIPAC President
