*J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans.*
J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans fighting
for the future of Israel as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people.
We believe that Israel’s Jewish and democratic character depend on a
two-state solution, resulting in a Palestinian state living alongside
Israel in peace and security.
Rooted in our commitment to Jewish and democratic values, J Street is
redefining what it means to be pro-Israel in America. We are changing the
U.S. political dynamics around Israel by mobilizing broad support for a
two-state solution because it’s in Israel’s and America’s interest. And we
are expanding support for Israel by affirming — along with many Israelis —
that being pro-Israel doesn’t require supporting every policy of its
government.
We have the responsibility to fix the broken politics in America around
Israel. Only with your help can J Street succeed in our fight for the
future of Israel as the Jewish and democratic homeland.
