A Clear Choice for a Better Future:  A discussion on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

These are challenging times for the pro-Israel, pro-peace community.  But peace if vital, and there is no viable alternative to a two-state solution.  The Gaza conflict this summer underscored a harsh reality:  the lack of a political resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict means a never-ending cycle of death and destruction, providing neither long-term security for Israel nor freedom and justice for Palestinians.  The status-quo cannot be maintained.

Come hear what we can to do to achieve a secure and democratic future for the Jewish homeland. 

Jeremy Ben-Ami is the founder and President of J Street, bringing to the role both deep experience in American politics and government and a passionate commitment to the state of Israel...

Ben-Ami’s family connection to Israel goes back 130 years to the first aliyah when his great-grandparents were among the first settlers in Petah Tikva. His grandparents were one of the founding families of Tel Aviv, and his father was an activist and leader in the Irgun, working for Israel’s independence and on the rescue of European Jews before and during World War II.
