Of course concern for peace in the Middle East isn’t a specifically Jewish issue.
But if, like me, you’re an American Jew tired of having AIPAC pretend to speak in your name, tired of the notion that “pro-Israel” and “anti-Arab” are the same thing, tired of being told that peace is objectively anti-Semitic, tired of the alliance between right-wing politicians in Israel, right-wing politicians in America, and a few powerful but unrepresentative American Jews to align Israeli interests with those of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, then you ought to think about joining J Street.
