[ [link removed] ]Halfway There!

Friends --

We’re over halfway to our #GivingTuesday goal to add $66,000 to the fight
against right-wing “pro-Israel” groups in Washington. I’m continuing to
match your contributions as they come in, right through to Wednesday
morning.

Here’s why it’s important:

As Jeremy wrote earlier, across Israel and the United States, progressives
are engaged in a shared fight against the Israeli right’s efforts to build
and bulldoze their way to permanent, undemocratic control over Palestinian
land -- trampling Palestinian freedoms and Israel’s democratic future in
the process.

That fight is as urgent as ever. Israeli authorities have demolished the
homes of over 900 Palestinians since President Biden took office. Naftali
Bennett’s “change” government has announced thousands of new settlement
units cutting deep into Palestinian territory.

Still, too many in Washington cling to an old political playbook that says
it’s politically impossible to push back against the Israeli right and
stand up for our values -- even when it’s in Israel’s own interests.

Together, we can change that calculus -- but we need the resources to
counter those who will do anything they can to maintain the status quo.

Can we count on you to help close the gap,
today?

It’s no secret that we face an array of well-funded, right-leaning
organizations claiming to speak for our community in Washington (as well
as a slew of Trumpist politicians who have made aligning with the Israeli
right a core element of their political persona).

But we’ve got something better -- we’ve got people.

We've got the overwhelming majority of Democratic voters who oppose
settlement expansion, who reject the false choice between security and
human rights, and who support freedom and self-determination for both
Israelis and Palestinians -- and the overwhelming majority of Jewish
voters who support that too.

And that means we can win.

With Trump’s crew out of power in the House, Senate and White House, now
is the time for our pro-Israel, pro-peace movement to push forward and
solidify meaningful changes to the policies and politics of
Israel/Palestine in our country.

Tuesday and invest in this fight.

Yours,
Arnie
