Jewish Institute for National Security of America

Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is self described as the only think tank in America that puts "the US-Israel strategic relationship first". JINSA's aim is convince defense planners that Israel is a vital strategic asset to the U.S., which justifies heavy finincal support for the country.

JINSA's policy recommendations for the U.S. government includes increased aid to Israel, support for Israeli nucelar weapons program and a rejection of any peace process with the Palestinians that includes a Palestinian state. Further, JINSA supports regime change by force in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon and Libya.

One of JINSA's most important activities is to invite U.S. senior military officers to Israel. In return, officers afterwards present signed statements to the media stressing their strong support for the Jewish state. The proposed American post-war governor of Iraq, Jay Garner, is among those who have participated in such a trip.

JINSA is closely associated with the neoconservative movement.
