Working for Israeli-Palestinian peace, defending Jewish and democratic values.
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialJ Street has long argued that the US should engage with international legal processes rather than seek to intimidate or undermine the institutions responsible for pursuing justice. This is a deep shame. 2/2
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialThe Trump Administration’s sanctions against the International Criminal Court threaten accountability for human rights violators around the world. 1/2
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialOur Jewish values demand that we protect the vulnerable and uphold the dignity of every human being, regardless of where they were born. The ICE shooting of a man with his five-year-old in the car is a deep moral stain on this country.
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialSettlers terrorize Palestinians on the ground. The Israeli government enables the wider project through impunity, home demolitions and settlement expansion. Different tactics, same result of making life unbearable for Palestinians and driving them off their land.
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialIn a new @nytimes.com op-ed, Shira Efron argues that Israel’s next government will face a choice: Continue down the current path or take meaningful steps to curb settler violence, stop annexing territory and reopen a political horizon for Palestinians. 2/2
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialIsrael’s international isolation is deepening. What would it take to change course? 1/2
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialIn a new Policy Center analysis, former State Department official Jen Gavito breaks down the key takeaways from the 2026 UN General Assembly – from changes in European policy to the Middle East to Israel’s growing risk of regional isolation. Read her analysis:
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialAfter 20 years without elections, Palestinians deserve far more than another postponement. They deserve a government with a legitimate mandate to represent them and advance their national aspirations. This cannot wait indefinitely.
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialThere is unbelievable resilience among everyday people in Gaza, even as they live through unrelenting grief.
Our deepest hope, and what we’ll keep working toward, is a future with more moments of joy, more peace and the chance to rebuild.
Watch @nytimes.com powerful video:
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialAfter surviving October 7, Amir Tibon made the extraordinary decision to move his family back to Nahal Oz.
Writing in @theatlantic.com, he reflects on the life they’re trying to rebuild and the questions that will shape whether they can imagine a future there.
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialThree years after October 7, J Street’s @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social reflects on what Schindler’s List can teach us about dehumanization and the choice to see humanity even amid profound grief.
“We owe the victims remembrance. We owe the living a future.”
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialBut what’s more ridiculous is why the administration seems so willing to accept a filtered version of reality. US policymakers need to know the reality on the ground, especially when that reporting concerns violations of American policy and the deaths of American citizens. 3/3
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialThere would need to be a lot of distortion to make this Israeli government look good. 2/3
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialThis reporting from @nytimes.com is damning. A senior US diplomat is accused of suppressing and rewriting reports to make the Netanyahu government look better – including reports on settlement expansion, settler violence and the killings of American citizens. 1/3

@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialICYMI: Yehuda Cohen and Mika Almog reflect on what we carry with us from October 7 – grief, the need for accountability, and the choice to fight for something different.
As Mika puts it: “It’s time to try peace again.”
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialFor Israelis and Palestinians living through this hellish reality, the only way forward is to forge a future together. What we saw from protesters last night only distracts from the real work of building a future where both people can live free. 3/3
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialOur friends at Israelis for Peace gathered to show what a different future can look like. They mourned the lives lost on October 7 while standing firmly for Palestinian freedom and dignity. 2/3
@jstreetdotorg.bsky.socialDehumanizing Israeli victims does nothing to advance Palestinian freedom, and anyone who thinks glorifying terrorist violence is acceptable is fooling themselves. 1/3
