About Stand with Israel

Stand with Israel was established by a team of volunteers based in Israel in response to the heinous Hamas massacre against the State of Israel. It showcases leading Israeli non-governmental organizations actively engaged in providing vital services such as emergency response, medical aid, mental health support, soldier assistance, and humanitarian aid to address the aftermath of this brutal terror attack.

Our mission is to simplify the process for anyone worldwide wishing to support Israel, ensuring their contributions go to verified organizations. In the United States, all donations are channeled through tax-deductible 501(c)(3) entities.

Israel needs your support urgently. Your assistance is instrumental in Israel's defense against its ruthless adversaries, who seek to harm as many Jews as possible and eliminate the State of Israel.

On Saturday, October 7, 2023, Israel witnessed an unprecedented day of bloodshed, marking a tragic chapter in its history. The horrors unfolded on a Jewish holiday morning when over hundreds of terrorists breached the Gaza-Israel barrier, spreading chaos across more than 20 locations, leaving a trail of devastation.

In a day marred by unimaginable brutality, Israelis fell victim on the streets, within their homes, and even at an outdoor music festival. Whole families were ruthlessly massacred, children and infants were killed before their parents' eyes, and unspeakable acts of violence, including beheadings, burnings, and assaults on young women in the presence of their deceased friends, transpired. Additionally, more than 120 individuals were taken hostage, and thousands suffered injuries.

For a nation acquainted with a history defined by wars, terror attacks, and military conflicts, this Saturday stands out as an unparalleled day of horror. Israel has not witnessed anything of this magnitude, drawing comparisons to the gravity of 9/11 and evoking painful memories of the Holocaust.

Numbers updated for October 27, 2023:
