[1]J Street
Friends,

2022 has been a challenging year for many of us, that includes advocacy
groups like J Street.

But with right-wing extremists coming to power in Israel who threaten to
supercharge settlement construction, violate fundamental rights and shake
the very foundations of Israel’s democratic future, J Street’s pro-Israel,
pro-peace, pro-democracy mission is more urgent than ever. Both in
Israel/Palestine and here in the US, our core democratic values are under
threat -- and we have to fight back.

Below are 5 reasons to support J Street this Giving Tuesday. [ [link removed] ]Please
consider making a contribution of any amount here >>

With your support, we’ll continue to press American leaders to champion
democratic freedoms, support international law, oppose endless settlements
and occupation, and support a safe, equal and democratic future for
Israelis and Palestinians.

Sincerely yours,
Adina Vogel Ayalon, J Street Chief of Staff

Benjamin Netanyahu is in the process of forming a new Israeli government
backed by far-right extremists who have defended settler violence,
championed de facto annexation in the West Bank, and even threatened to
expel Arab citizens of Israel. The situation on the ground is already
deteriorating and incendiary -- and has the potential to get much, much
worse.

and Congress to show strong leadership in defense of Israel’s democratic
future, human rights and international law >>

[ [link removed] ]Support Democracy At Home and Abroad

From John Fetterman in Pennsylvania to Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Mark
Kelly in Arizona to Katie Porter in California, J Street-backed candidates
have been on the front lines of the fight to defend democracy from MAGA
extremists and insurrectionists. Unlike some other pro-Israel groups, we
stand by our principles of democracy, equality and peace. We’ll never
endorse insurrectionists, conspiracy theorists or anti-immigrant,
anti-refugee, anti-LGBT+ candidates.

[ [link removed] ]Your support helps our movement rally behind proud, principled,
pro-democracy, diplomacy-first champions who are transforming the politics
of Israel/Palestine in the United States for the better >>

[ [link removed] ]Support a Proud Vision for a Thriving IsraelThe overwhelming majority
of American Jews want to see Israel thrive as a safe, democratic homeland
for the Jewish people -- a proud beacon for our Jewish values. We want the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict over. We want an end to terror attacks and
rockets. An end to occupation and home demolitions. We know that every
Israel and Palestinian family deserves the same rights to equality, safety
and freedom as everyone else. We know that strong, principled US
leadership can help get us there.

[ [link removed] ]Your support champions a positive, principled, just, democratic vision
for Israel and fuels a movement that refuses to let right-wing voices
claim the space and speak in our name >>

[ [link removed] ]Help End the Occupation

Every year, the Israeli government sends thousands of young Israelis to
risk their lives guarding demolition crews, checkpoints and illegal
settlements. Generations of Palestinian children have grown up without
basic civil rights for over 55 years. Right-wing Israelis and their
supporters in the United States would rather that American leaders never
see or discuss the occupation; at J Street we believe that honestly
reckoning with the impact of the occupation is absolutely critical to
understanding and ending the cycle of violence and injustice.

[ [link removed] ]Your support funds advocacy and education for change in Washington --
including efforts to make sure that US assistance to Israel is used to
enhance its security, and not to entrench the occupation >>

[ [link removed] ]Stand up to Antisemitism & White Nationalism

Our community is directly feeling the ongoing surge in open antisemitism
and white nationalism. We know that pushing back starts with us, and we
must fight against it in all its forms. From politicians and public
figures spouting hate speech and conspiracy theories to violent attacks
imperiling our communities, J Street will continue to expose and condemn
advocates of hate, and give voice to the large majority of our community.

[ [link removed] ]Your support helps push back against leaders who court white
nationalists, traffic in antisemitism and amplify dangerous conspiracy
theories >>

Following a challenging fundraising year, we’re counting on your support
to help close the gap in an important moment.

With Netanyahu and a slew of right-wing extremists taking power -- and
Trump ready to run for office again here at home -- we’re going to need to
push harder than ever for US leadership to defend democracy in both the US
and Israel, and to champion peace, equality and an end to the cycle of
violence and injustice.

us closer to our goal. [ [link removed] ]Select a Giving Tuesday contribution here >>
