ILI—Fostering Bonds Between Israel and Germany

Israel is much more than what mainstream media portrays — far beyond the conflicts with its neighbors or acts of terror. ILI — I Like Israel e.V. — is dedicated to conveying a public image and understanding of 'Israel beyond the conflict.' This is particularly crucial in challenging times, such as during conflicts when Israel is under attack and requires the unity and support of the Diaspora. Israel Bonds is a steadfast partner in this endeavor.
As a grassroots, non-government, pro-Israel advocacy organization (NGO) not affiliated with any party or denomination, ILI works to support Israel, the only democracy in an otherwise extremely complex geo-political environment, aiming to intensify the bilateral relations between Israel and Germany on all levels. Its flagship projects are the annual “Israel Days” – public celebrations of Israel’s birthday in a growing number of cities and countries every year; a weekly “beyond the conflict” newsletter – the “ILI News”; maintaining our social media presence; and additionally, the German-Israel Congress (which has taken place five times so far), as well as the European-Israel Congress (which was held in 2019 for the first time), both of which are hosted by ILI. Without strong partners, this work would not be possible. And we are proud to know that we can rely on Israel Bonds to be on our side when it comes to showing presence and sending a strong signal of solidarity and partnership in fostering relations between Germany and Israel; in times like these, now more than ever!
A strong signal of solidarity and partnership.
Israel Bonds was a central sponsor and exhibitor at the last German-Israel Congress in Frankfurt; is present with information booths at every Israel Day and has previously advertised in our weekly newsletter, which contains information we gladly share with our friends and readers. Israel Bonds are a wonderful way to support the Jewish State and wonderfully supplement our goal of bringing our two countries closer together. To this effect, we say thank you and wish Israel Bonds and all its investors all the best. We look forward to many more cooperative projects in the future.
