J Street Presents: Stop Demolitions, Build Peace
Thursday, March 29 at 7:30 PM | Temple Sinai
Join J Street U and J Street LEAD -- J Street's student and young professional programs -- to learn about and discuss their ongoing Stop Demolitions, Build Peace campaign.
This administration has remained silent on settlement expansion and the two-state solution, as the Israeli government pursues annexation of the West Bank. The targeted demolition of Palestinian communities in the West Bank devastates families to make way for further settlement expansion, and creates facts-on-the-ground that jeopardize a two-state solution.
Through this campaign, young Jews across the US are speaking out against these policies that threaten Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state. Join us in this intergenerational conversation to learn about the context of this issue, ask questions, and explore ways to take action to support the "Stop Demolitions, Build Peace" campaign.
