I give to the UJA and other Israel causes. Why a PAC?

The answer is one word: leverage. While it is true that every dollar one gives directly to any pro-Israel organization or institution is important, no organizational fundraising effort can match the resources and generosity of the US government (organizational fundraising can be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars; US aid is measured in billions). Fundamentally, in addition to educating Members of Congress on the issues, we also work to elect and re-elect Members of Congress who support a strong US-Israel relationship in the first place. That’s leverage.
