Dear Friends,

Something I deeply respect about Nick Kristof is that, even after years of
traveling the world and heading into battle zones as a foreign
correspondent, he still knows the value of talking to the real people he’s
reporting on.

Before sitting down to write about Israel and Palestine, you can bet he’s
spoken to dozens of actual Israelis and Palestinians – a step sometimes
skipped by too many opinion columnists. “We are normal people, trying to
live,” an engineer in Gaza told him by phone, words of truth from the
ground that made it into The New York Times. “We’re the civilians paying
the price.”

J Street’s work also aims to bring humanity together with political
analysis – never losing sight of the real people impacted by global
decisions – and it’s a goal that Nick’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism
consistently delivers.

Next Tuesday, I’m honored to sit down with Nick to discuss his thoughts on
the Israel-Hamas war and the Biden Administration, as well as his
extraordinary experiences as a reporter, documented in his new gripping
memoir, Chasing Hope: A Reporter’s Life.

[ [link removed] ]Nick Kristof joins Jeremy Ben-Ami on Tuesday, May 28 at 2:30pm Eastern
/ 11:30am Pacific

His years as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief and columnist
have not come without lessons learned and significant challenges.
Together, we’ll discuss how he applies the takeaways documented in his
autobiography to the current war roiling Israel and Gaza as well as the
glimmers of hope and the important voices Nick is always searching for on
the ground.

Despite coming face-to-face with countless humanitarian crises, massacres
and wars, Nick continues to hold out hope for what the world could look
like, and the voices and leaders who will help get us there.

In his just-released book, Nick writes, “The truth is that while my
reporting has shown me the human capacity for evil, it has underscored
even more the human potential to intercede, to solve our problems and to
bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.”

Today, Nick’s worldview is much needed, and I’m really looking forward to
sharing this conversation with him next week. I hope you can join us.
