Fight for Human Rights:
[ [link removed] ]** Have Your Donation DOUBLED **

Friend --

I wrote to you a few weeks ago about my son Mattan, living proof that a
more just and equal future is possible.

Our family’s landmark human rights case in the Israeli High Court helped
bring about the official recognition of LGBT+ parents in Israel. A proud
moment for my family, for our community, and for our country.

I’m proud that over 20 years later -- despite the threats of arrest,
intimidation and harassment -- he is continuing the struggle for equality
and freedom in the West Bank.

He and other peace advocates are in the occupied territories right now
learning Arabic and helping document and deter a dangerous spike in
settler attacks this year. Across the West Bank, groups of aggressive
settlers have been trying to intimidate Palestinians off their land by
burning farmland, slaughtering cattle, throwing rocks and firing weapons
into towns. Israeli authorities have not done nearly enough to stop this,
let alone hold perpetrators accountable.

Human rights activists in Israel and Palestine are on the front lines of
this fight, and our community in America needs to make sure we have their
back. 

In 2022, J Street will continue to push Congress and the Biden
administration to speak out, to press for accountability, and to ensure
that US security assistance to Israel can never be used to fund actions
that deepen the occupation or violate human rights.

At it’s best, American leadership can provide a beacon of hope and support
for advocates around the world who are working to protect minorities and
human rights, and seeking a better future for themselves, their families
and their countries.

We must press for American leadership to be principled, clear and bold
when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well -- a necessary
condition to secure our vision of a just, democratic future for Israel,
living in peace and security alongside an independent state of Palestine.

The continuation of the occupation and the continued creeping annexation
of more and more land in the West Bank severely undermines the chances for
a lasting peace, and perpetuates dangerous injustice and instability.

These actions don’t reflect our Jewish and democratic values, nor will
they lead to the just and peaceful future we so deeply want for Israel.
Standing together, we can and must make this clear to our leaders who have
the power to push back.
