J Street

Friend --

The fight to stop West Bank annexation has returned international focus to Israel/Palestine.

Among a new generation of social justice activists as well as folks who’ve followed these issues for decades, we’re seeing a renewed interest in the history and dynamics of the conflict.

That’s why we’re launching J School -- a free, virtual learning series that will dig into many of the key issues that drive the conflict and inform efforts to achieve a lasting solution.

In March, we launched J Stream, our series of virtual briefings and trainings designed to help keep our movement connected and engaged. Now through J School, we’re delving deeper into the political, historical and personal nuances of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Beginning next Wednesday, July 15, J School will convene weekly at noon Eastern for keynote lectures from former diplomats, political leaders, academics and Israelis and Palestinians who have experienced the realities of the conflict firsthand. Each lecture will include a Q&A session, breakout discussions and recommended resources for further reading.

A full ‘syllabus’ can be found on our website, but here’s a preview of what’s coming up in the next few weeks:

July 15 -- On Zionism: Looking at History through Personal Narratives, with J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami and Israeli historian Dr. Fania Oz-Salzberger

July 22 -- Palestinian Narratives on Both Sides of the Green Line, with Professor Sami Adwan and Standing Together activist Maisam Jaljuli

July 29 -- Occupation 101, with Former Special Envoy Frank Lowenstein
