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.
The J Street Policy Center is the “policy shop” of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement, producing original analysis and other resources to inform and educate elected officials, policymakers and advocates on issues related to US policy toward Israel, Palestine and the broader Middle East.
Join this three-day trip extension following the CCAR Convention in Israel to explore the current state of affairs and facts on the ground in the region, while gaining increased understanding of the challenges and opportunities in both Israeli and Palestinian societies today.
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.
Being “pro-Israel” has never, and will never, necessitate supporting or excusing extremist visions of supremacy, domination and violence.

The overwhelming majority of Democratic voters, Jewish voters and pro-Israel voters support justice, freedom, democracy and equality -- for Israelis and Palestinians, and here at home. As AIPAC’s actions have made clear, they do not share these goals and values. Help show they do not speak for us.
Without intervention, destructive impulses and ideologies focused on revenge and retaliation, on punishment and control, will continue to make the lives of Israelis and Palestinians worse, year after year.
Fifty-five years after Israel began its occupation of the Palestinian territories during the 1967 Six-Day War, the occupation has precipitated the downfall of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government.

Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and other senior Sudanese officials, his office said in a statement. With U.S. mediation, the two sides agreed to the terms of a peace deal and planned to hold a signing ceremony in Washington in a few month’s time, after Sudan establishes a civilian government, the Israeli statement said.
