J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans to promote US policies that embody our deeply held Jewish and democratic values and that help secure the State of Israel as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people. We believe that only a negotiated resolution agreed to by Israelis and Palestinians can meet the legitimate needs and national aspirations of both peoples.
Working in the American political system, in the Jewish community and with others with whom we share core values, we advocate for diplomacy-first American leadership and policies that advance justice, equality, peace, and democracy in Israel, in the wider region and in the United States as well.
We're excited to once again do all we can to help re-elect a president who is standing up for our community’s core democratic values.
Mark your calendars! J Street's National Conference will be returning to Washington, DC on April 6-9, 2024.
Our Israel is a J Street initiative to spotlight amazing Israeli organizations and individuals who share our values and who struggle, as we do in the United States, to build and preserve a liberal, democratic society underpinned by the principles of equality, freedom, justice and peace.

It’s the right approach for confronting the antisemitism that threatens us today – and doing everything in our power to ensure it becomes, once and for all, a thing of the past.
The need for understanding and acceptance of the history and pain of the other is mutual.
Those who genuinely strive to be strong allies in the fight against antisemitism like the Biden Administration should look beyond the deceptively simple solution offered by advocacy groups pushing the IHRA definition.
Today, Palestinians around the world mark “Nakba Day” – commemorating events in 1948 when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced from the land they call home.
