J Street organizes and mobilizes pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans who want Israel to be secure, democratic and the national home of the Jewish people. Working in American politics and the Jewish community, we advocate policies that advance shared US and Israeli interests as well as Jewish and democratic values, leading to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It's like donating, but with awesome stuff shipped to you.
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.

We were a group of Diaspora Jewish activists, including several J Streeters. As we proceeded, I found myself caught between political despair and rising hope. Trump and Netanyahu’s annexation plan only exacerbated the despair -- but hope remains.
Winter in Israel reminds us mightily that, like the weather, there are forces tearing at the fabric of life and that we must seek succor from these storms -- and more so, try our best to find ways to extract meaning in life and take action to protect what is most precious to us.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attacked the foundations of democracy. If he wins his 2020 reelection bid, things could get a lot worse.”

“‘The simple answer [for the stalemate] is Netanyahu. Without him, we would have had a government probably in April, definitely in September,’ said Reuven Hazan, a political science professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. ‘The system did not produce deadlocks until last year.
