"We are in a polarizing political environment and what Democratic Majority for Israel has done has played a critical role really in ensuring that Israel remains a bipartisan issue because the Democratic Party is a pro-Israel party and you keep it that way by pushing pro-Israel and progressive policies."

I am proud that Democrats continue to stand strongly behind Israel’s right to defend itself and to chart its future as the modern expression of Jewish self-determination.”

Congressman Dan Goldman

“We all know that Israel is essential for us as Jews, as a refuge if we ever were to need it again. But we are not a big enough population to move the needle. That’s why it is important that organizations like DMFI not only talk about Israel as a Jewish state, but our democratic values and our shared democratic values. And the fact that Israel is an incredible pluralistic country.“
