ICAN Endorses Robert Antonellis for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts Republican Primary

The Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN) is proud to endorse Robert Antonellis in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts. As a staunch advocate for the principles and values that align with our mission, Mr. Antonellis has demonstrated unwavering support for Israel, a commitment to combating antisemitism, and a dedication to upholding the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Mr. Antonellis, an accomplished software engineer and a strong conservative voice, has made it clear that his priority is to fight for America’s interests while ensuring that our closest allies, particularly Israel, are supported unequivocally. His platform includes:

  • Pro-Israel Stance: Antonellis has pledged to increase U.S. foreign aid to Israel and maintain the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, affirming America’s steadfast commitment to the security and sovereignty of the State of Israel.
  • Combating Antisemitism: He is committed to enforcing laws against antisemitic activities and promoting Holocaust education, recognizing the importance of educating the public on the dangers of hate and prejudice.
  • Opposition to the BDS Movement: Antonellis opposes the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, labeling it an “evil plan” that must be stopped to protect the economic and social ties between the U.S. and Israel.
  • Preventing a Nuclear Iran: Antonellis has taken a strong stand against allowing Iran to develop nuclear capabilities, emphasizing the need for strict measures to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.

As an organization dedicated to the empowerment of Israeli-American activists and pro-Israel Americans, ICAN believes that Robert Antonellis represents the best choice for the Republican nomination. His commitment to defending our shared values and principles aligns closely with our mission to combat antisemitism and support Israel.

“Robert Antonellis is a candidate who truly understands the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance and the need to protect our constitutional freedoms,” said Nirit Friedlander, Co-Chair of ICAN Massachusetts. “His strong stance against antisemitism and his unwavering support for Israel make him the ideal candidate for the U.S. Senate.”

ICAN urges all Republican voters in Massachusetts to support Robert Antonellis in the upcoming primary on September 3, 2024.
