Why I Walk for •

srael

"Like so many others who travel to Israel, each time I
visit our homeland I am proud and amazed at what the
Israeli people have accomplished. I'm going to Walk
for Israel because at this crucial and uncertain time it
is vital that we take a visible stand in support of Israel.
Join me on Sunday, May 15th.

2009 between U.S. officials and
Israeli intelligence officials show
that Israel expects the next war with
Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shiite
terrorist group, to last two months.
Israel long has complained that
U.N. pledges in the wake of the 2006
Lebanon war to stem the flow of
missiles into Lebanon have proved
worthless, and that Hezbollah is
stronger than it was before the war.
