Friends,

Yesterday, AIPAC sent a mass email smearing several Democratic primary
candidates, all women of color, as “ANTI-ISRAEL CANDIDATES” in all capital
letters. 

It echoed an email last year, when AIPAC claimed Ben & Jerry’s had joined
an “anti-Israel hate campaign” for making the straightforward, principled
decision not to do business within Israeli settlements on occupied
territory.

If you've ever wondered why so many elected officials are hesitant to
openly oppose the occupation or call for even-handed American leadership
toward Israeli-Palestinian peace, these aggressive attacks are a big part
of the reason why.

At J Street, we know that not only is it possible to support Israel’s
security while opposing settlements and supporting Palestinian rights, but
that it’s exactly the position the majority of Jewish Americans hold
themselves. 

When AIPAC says opposition to occupation is “anti-Israel,” it’s
misrepresenting our community. When it endorses and fundraises for
far-right, pro-Trump politicians who voted to overturn our election
results and turns its fire on progressive Democrats, it’s betraying our
values.

That’s why we’re pushing back against bad-faith attacks. Why we’re working
to transform political incentives to favor principled leadership and a
truly just, democratic and secure vision for Israel’s future.

Unlike AIPAC, we don’t have right-wing mega-donors funding this work --
but we do have you. Today I’m asking for your support as we near our
Passover fundraising deadline.

Please consider pitching in to fund J Street’s work with a contribution

We’ve got just three days left until our April 23 Passover deadline, and
we’re less than halfway to our $40,000 goal.

Anything you’re able to contribute today will push us closer to that goal
and strengthen our movement in the primary and midterm season ahead.

Thank you, sincerely, for being part of this work.
