Joint Action Committee
for Political Affairs

What is JAC's Position?

• We support the special relationship between the United States and Israel, a relationship built on shared values and mutual interests. Israel, the only reliable democracy in the Middle East, is America's staunch ally and partner in fighting terrorism.
• We endorse US leadership in facilitating peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians.
• We recognize that Iran's nuclear ambitions pose an existential threat to Israel and a danger to the United States and the world. We support sanctions against Iran.
• We support the foreign aid program that supplies much-needed security assistance to Israel each year to ensure that Israel remains capable of resisting increased threats.
• We oppose arms sales to countries that would use those weapons against Israel.
• We favor US efforts to develop alternative sources of energy that would reduce dependence on Mideast oil
• We are profoundly concerned about the worldwide campaign to delegitimize Israel. We reject the UN Human Rights Council's disproportionate censure of Israel; we reject the Goldstone report.
