"As an academic and scholar, I am happy to see the Heartland Initiative translating so much of what I teach and believe into real and measurable impact. Ideas are not meant to only be written down, but to be implemented on the ground. This is why I both endorse Heartland Initiative and am active in contributing to their programming."

"As a military expert I can say, without a doubt, that the security and future of the state of Israel is reliant on our ability to secure all regions of Israel. While many believe that security comes from military personnel alone, the truth is, it comes from the residents. Because the Heartland Initiative seeks to strengthen life throughout all of Israel, it is therefore of national security importance. I fully support and endorse their activities."

"Historical and legal Jewish rights to all regions of the land of Israel would be irrelevant if it weren't for the people on the ground who are actualizing these rights. With much of the world opinion opposing basic Jewish human and national rights, we must support those, both in the courtroom and on the ground, who are fighting for these rights. I am happy to see the Heartland Initiative facing these challenges from the ground and support their work 100%."
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner

"In ancient times, the center of the Jewish State, Jerusalem, was surrounded by the Jewish communities of Samaria, Binyamin, Judea and the Jordan Valley. And today, just like in ancient times, in order to strengthen our capital city, we must also strengthen and secure our heartland. This is why I support and endorse the Heartland Initiative."
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum
Fleur Hassan-NahoumDeputy Mayor of Jerusalem
"The Judea and Samaria (Israel's Heartland) Regions have been an integral part of the land of Israel for more than three thousand years. In the past few decades attempts have been made to dejudaize this region and as a public official and Mayor of Great Neck, NY, I strongly support the Heartland Initiative's activities to strengthen and mainstream all regions of Israel."
