The conversation about Israel has become a toxic partisan firefight, bereft of insight or vision.

We are shocked by the heinous attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill. There are no words to fully convey our horror and sadness at the murder of Jewish people who were worshipping with their community on Shabbat.

J Street continues to oppose the Netanyahu government's efforts to degrade Israel's democracy. The Nation-State bill recently introduced would enshrine discrimination into Israel's basic laws, and we, along with numerous other American Jewish organizations, strongly oppose its passage.

Today, 13 leading American Jewish organizations submitted a letter to Knesset opposition leader Isaac Herzog expressing opposition to the discriminatory "Nation-State Bill," which is currently advancing in the Knesset.

Activism works. Largely thanks to the tireless efforts of J Street U students in securing support for the Schakowsky-Yarmuth Letter, Israel has indefinitely postponed the demolition of Sussiya!

How the President, Israel, and the Gulf states plan to fight Iran—and leave the Palestinians and the Obama years behind.

It's no secret that with the current leadership in the U.S., Israel, and Ramallah, a two-state solution seems as far away as ever. Part of sustaining it is stopping the demolition of Palestinian villages in the West Bank to prevent creeping annexation.

One threatened community is the village of Khan al-Amar. Click the link below to find out how you can get involved to Stop Demolitions and Build Peace.

About Khan al-Ahmar Though Palestinians lived in the Khan al-Ahmar area prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, most of its residents moved there after being expelled from the Negev by the Israeli army in the early 1950’s. They leased the land from a Palestinian landowner. In 1975, the ...

Very excited to announce JStreetPAC's first endorsements in our area. Rep. Dwight Evans, and Susan Wild, candidate in PA-7!

In a historically important election year for our country, we’re thrilled to support so many candidates who are prepared to fight for diplomacy and stand up to the dangerous foreign policy of the Trump administration.

Great piece from Aaron Davis on how counter-productive, dangerous, and ultimately futile it is for Republicans to smear Democrats as anti-Israel.

Faced with this potential “wave” election, right-wing elected officials are targeting left-leaning candidates based on their positions on Israel.
