[ ]J Street [ ]
Friends,
Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the United States for the
first time since the formation of his extreme-right government.
J Street was ready:
* We made clear that Americans who care about Israel strongly oppose
Netanyahu’s anti-democratic agenda, joining our allies to rally
thousands of pro-democracy protesters across the country.
* Our president Jeremy Ben-Ami addressed a major rally outside
Netanyahu’s hotel in NYC.
* We also helped visiting Israeli pro-democracy protest leaders
meet with Members of Congress in Washington.
* Our advocacy team – joined by thousands of grassroots supporters –
continues to build momentum for the Israel Democracy Resolution, a
powerful congressional statement of support for the pro-democracy
movement.
* A few weeks ago, there were only a dozen cosponsors. We’re now up
to 80 and counting.
* With the Netanyahu government approving settlements at an
unprecedented rate, we’re making clear that the extreme-right
settlement movement threatens freedom and safety for Palestinian
families in occupied territory as well as Israel's own democratic
future.
* J Street continues to press the Biden administration to make
clear that settlement expansion violates international law and
must stop now.
Friends – In both Israel and the United States, right-wing,
ethno-nationalist forces continue to threaten our democratic freedoms and
the future we want to hand down to our children.
Together, we must continue to mobilize, to stand with our allies and do
everything in our power to speak out, stand up and push back. We can build
a better future, but only if we join together and fight for it.
If this is a mission you care about, please consider chipping in
$18, $36 or $90 – or any other amount –
to help build J Street’s movement. [ [link removed] ]You can make your donation here >>
Thank you, sincerely, for being part of this work. We couldn’t do it
without your support.
