Friend,

Our online political briefing this Thursday with J Street President Jeremy
Ben-Ami and Israeli political strategist Dahlia Scheindlin couldn’t come
at a more urgent time.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced specific, detailed plans
to annex almost 30% of the West Bank if reelected next week. He said he
would then move to annex every settlement in the West Bank, pledging to do
so in coordination with the Trump administration.

With the Israeli election a week away, a detailed annexation plan now on
the table and the US presidential field narrowing, this briefing will be
an important discussion of the unprecedented challenges we face and how
our movement can rise to the moment.

If acted upon, Netanyahu's annexation pledge would have significant,
long-lasting repercussions for Israel’s democratic character and for the
foundations of the US-Israel relationship. This is a crucial time for our
mission and our community, and we hope you'll be able to join us for the
call.

Best,
Logan

<---------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE ---------->

Friend,

As summer comes to a close, the presidential primary heats up and Israelis
prepare to head to the polls, we’re entering a crucial period for J
Street’s work.

We’ve seen how the Trump-Netanyahu partnership and the rise of right-wing
ethnonationalism has endangered our core values both in Israel and here at
home. In recent months that threat has escalated: Prime Minister Netanyahu
has promised, if re-elected, to move forward with West Bank annexation;
the White House has hinted it might endorse such a move; and the
president’s attempts to use the issues of Israel and anti-Semitism as
political weapons have transformed into attacks on the vast majority of
American Jews as “disloyal.”

It's clear that all these threats are connected -- and that they require
overwhelming, coordinated opposition from pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans
and our progressive allies in Israel and at home. From October 26-29, J
Street’s “Rise to the Moment” National Conference in Washington, DC will
provide the perfect opportunity to mobilize against the far-right, defend
our values and promote a better vision of American leadership.

For our movement and our values to win out, we need to fully understand
the moment we’re living in, the challenges we face and what it will take
to overcome them. On Thursday, September 12 at 12:30pm ET, you’re invited
to join a live online discussion on these urgent issues with J Street
President Jeremy Ben-Ami and Israeli political strategist Dahlia
Scheindlin.

Defending Our Values, Battling the Trump-Netanyahu Agenda:

On the call, Dahlia and Jeremy will discuss the potential outcomes of the

at the J Street Conference.

We hope you’ll be able to join us.

Thanks,

Logan Bayroff
Director of Communications
