War has returned to Israel. Israelis have spent the last days in their safe rooms and in public

bomb shelters. Buildings have been hit and tragically, civilians have been killed. As Israel and the

Their services, which are always free, are a vital lifeline to the people of Israel.

You can make sure that they have the lifesaving equipment and supplies they need right now,

bulletproof vests and helmets, tactical stretchers for evacuations, oxygen kits,

moment, but I do have profound questions about if Trump isn't going to use ground troops,

if we're not going to escalate, if we are not going to push harder for regime change,

then if we end up making a deal and walking away, is anyone going to look back and say, well,
