Dear John, Ever since J-Street’s founding in 2007, the organization has promoted itself as the liberal alternative to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). For left-leaning politicians fearful of AIPAC’s wrath, aligning with J-Street provided insulation from Zionist primary election challenges; lawmakers could be mildly critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, yet still profess allegiance to the State of Israel as a Jewish ethno-state even if it came at the expense of millions of Palestinians. Not so anymore, not with Israel’s genocide in Gaza, its deliberate targeting of civilians live-streamed on our cell phones. The mask is off as we witness a continuation of the Nakba (catastrophe) or ethnic cleansing of Palestine that began in 1947-48 when Zionist militias destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages and expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes to make way for the State of Israel. Join us for a discussion of the end of liberal Zionism and the ascendant movement of anti-Zionist Jews demanding decolonization. Chat with peacemakers and
experts

Israel has committed horrors beyond humanity as it carries out its US-backed genocide campaign in Gaza. We’ve seen children with their limbs blown off, dead bodies piled up, people burned alive, streets full of body parts and blood, and entire neighborhoods leveled to the ground. Our elected officials are okay with funding this genocide but WE ARE NOT. We are not okay with our tax dollars being used to fund the living hell unleashed upon the people of Gaza. We must express our outrage and demand an arms embargo and a complete cessation of arms to Israel! Send a letter to Congress now! Get involved with our CODEPINK Palestine Campaign!We are committed to supporting Palestinian liberation from abroad, using the demands of Palestinians as our guideline for organizing.
