The Florida Israel Chamber's mission is to promote trade and commerce between the State of Florida and the Land of Israel. We are also committed to fight anti-Zionism, which is just another form of antisemitism. It is our belief and goal that sharing good news about Israel will help change minds, change hearts, and change the world. Jews and Israelis should be proud of their heritage, their history, and our contributions to society. We don't mean to suggest that Jews and/or Israelis are better than anyone else, but we are also not inferior to any other people. Yet, antisemitism is on the rise throughout the entire world. No other nation has been condemned by global bodies, like the UN, more than Israel. Nobody talks about the more than 100 disputed "occupied" territories that exist today worldwide; they only know about and complain about Israel's legal possession of land won in several defensive wars where much larger and more powerful armies tried to annihilate the tiny State of Israel and kill its Jewish inhabitants. The world would be a much better place if countries and peoples traded with Israel, visited Israel, and benefitted from Israel's products and services.
