Friend,
The white-nationalist rot in the Republican Party is seeping deeper and
deeper.
In recent days, two Republican Members of Congress – both endorsed by
AIPAC – crossed lines that would have been unthinkable not long ago.
Congressman Randy Fine, who previously said “‘Palestinian’ is just another
word for demon,” branded “mainstream Muslims” a threat to the United
States that we need to “destroy.” Congressman Andy Ogles, sharing a stage
with a member of Germany’s far-right AfD party at a New York Republican
gala, called for the deportation of migrants who don’t "worship our god."
The ethno-nationalist, dehumanizing logic used to justify mass suffering
in Gaza is also corroding liberal democracy here at home – redefining who
counts as human, who belongs and whose rights can be discarded. It’s an
assault on our common humanity, and we know all too well where this
leads.
As Jewish Americans, our history and our values compel us to fight this
toxicity – but too many in our community are silent. [ [link removed] ]If you want

We are living through uncharted times, and the absence of the courage to
push back against toxic voices on “your own side” has rarely been more
glaring.
Again and again, Jewish history teaches the same lesson: The danger isn’t
only extremism itself, but the silence of those who know better.
J Street exists to make a different choice. To ensure that Jewish
leadership is defined by principles and values, not convenience – and that
standing up for democracy, human dignity and peace is backed by real
political power.
We don’t have right-wing megadonors funding that work, we have grassroots
donors across the country giving voice to their values. [ [link removed] ]Please chip in

History doesn’t just judge what was said, it judges who spoke when it was
easier to stay quiet. Whether it’s the course of politics in Israel or in
the United States, we are called to speak out.
Yours,
