The main points of the Jewish People Policy Institute's assessment

Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea, is regarded by Jews, Christians and Muslims as the biblical Holy Land. Its most sacred sites are clustered in Jerusalem’s Old City, including the Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock shrine, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Its financial hub, Tel Aviv, is known for crisp white architecture, beaches and wild nightlife.

 "The Jewish People have no future without the State of Israel and the Jews of the Diaspora have no future without the state of the Jews. Thus, in order to ensure the future of the people, one must ensure the future of the state. The very existence of the State of Israel is under an attack from two elements: First – the physical threat as reflected in Iran's attempts to arm itself with nuclear weapons, and second – the threat posed by the global delegitimization campaign that denies our right to exist. Therefore, we are working to ensure that Israel will have the physical means to defend its citizens and we are waging a determined campaign against the movements to boycott Israel and deny its right to exist. The key to dealing with these threats is an active – not just defensive – approach; we must denounce those who would slander us and seek our ill."
