“This isn’t about a few bad apples.”

After visiting the West Bank, J Street endorsees Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Sean Casten warn that settlement expansion, settler violence and forced displacement aren’t isolated incidents.

They’re part of a systematic effort to permanently foreclose on the possibility of a Palestinian state.

“Rabbi Rosove's writing about Jewish values is both timely and profound. In an era when many of us feel adrift in a sea of immorality, he offers a lifeline.” @RabbiLondon

Exactly right

[גלעד קריב @KarivGilad]

בעוד שעות אחדות ריקוד הדגלים יצעד בעיר העתיקה.

ברחובות הרובע המוסלמי והנוצרי הכל כבר נסגר. החנויות, גני הילדים, חלונות הבתים.

הרחובות ריקים. בגלל הפחד.

זאת לא ריבונות, זו לא עיר מאוחדת, זו לא חגיגה. ההתעקשות המתריסה לעבור דווקא ברחובות הרובע המוסלמי, למרות המראות והקריאות שחוזרים על עצמם שנה אחרי שנה, הם ביזוי כבודה של ירושלים. לא תפארתה.

לשנה הבאה בירושלים של כבוד הבריות. בירושלים של שלום.

A message from J Street President @JeremyBenAmi:

There is a reflexive temptation, when confronted with reports of horrific abuses committed by Jews or by the State of Israel, to dismiss them. To blame the messenger or tell ourselves the world is just against us.

But that cannot be our community's response.

We owe it to those who summoned the courage to speak out to demand a credible, independent investigation into the sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli prison guards, soldiers and beyond – and accountability if allegations are true.

@KarivGilad @GershomG Gilad Kariv for prime minister!

[J Street @jstreetdotorg]

Two things can be true: Protests that glorify violence, wave Hezbollah flags and chant for the destruction of Israel are wrong. Using our synagogues to promote home sales in West Bank settlements is also wrong.

We can simultaneously reject incitement and the occupation. We can stand for the safety of Jewish communities and the rights of Palestinians.

Anyway, here’s a video that completely rips apart the integrity and consistency of @TrackAIPAC’s methodology.

[J Street @jstreetdotorg]

Mazel tov to The Parents Circle – Families Forum on this well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize nomination!

Their work shows that even in the deepest grief, Israelis and Palestinians can choose dialogue, dignity and nonviolence.

This is what courage looks like.

@joelpollak I agree that Jewish terrorists killing Palestinians in the West Bank are destroying Israel.

@joelpollak Read it:
“A person who intentionally causes the death of another with the aim of harming a citizen or resident of Israel, with the intent of rejecting the existence of the State of Israel — his sentence shall be death or life imprisonment, and only one of these penalties."

[Andrea London @RabbiLondon]

@AIPAC So now J Street is pro-Israel when it serves your needs?

[Andrea London @RabbiLondon]

@_Goldwasser_ Who would hurt him except for settlers which Israel refuses to reign in?!

[איימן עודה أيمن عودة Ayman Odeh @AyOdeh]

מי שמשלמים את המחיר הם האזרחים הפשוטים, ולא ה״מנהיגים״ שמכריזים על המלחמות המיותרות הללו.

לבי עם תושבי הדרום והצפון, בדימונה ובערד, ועם כל מי שנפגע אתמול.

אני משתתף בצער משפחת ההרוג במשגב עם, ומאחל לפצועים בדרום החלמה מהירה ורפואה שלמה.

אני חוזר ואומר: די למלחמה.

לא יהיה ביטחון לאף אחד, לא כאן, לא באיראן, לא בלבנון, לא בעזה ולא בגדה, כל עוד זו המציאות שלנו.

@EricMGarcia Because @DanielBiss is a proven leader who has the intelligence, wisdom, and experience to be an excellent congressman. @KatAbughazaleh is an empty vessel

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

#IL09 News: Congressman Jesús ‘Chuy’ García endorses Daniel Biss. Plenty of progressives are getting behind Biss as opposed to Kat Abughazaleh in the primary to replace Jan Schakowsky.
