"The political home of pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans," J Street was formed in 2008, to counter the stranglehold of neo-conservatives on U.S policy towards Israel. In a welcome contrast to AIPAC, it "gives political voice to mainstream American Jews and other supporters of Israel who, informed by their Jewish values, believe that a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is essential to Israel’s survival as the national home of the Jewish people and as a vibrant democracy."
For those in the Bay Area, you can support J Street by attending this fundraiser on October 25, 2011, at the City Club in San Francisco. Of course, anyone can donate even if you can't attend.
