Save the date: Pathways to Peace

In March, three Israeli Defense Force (IDF) veterans will be in town to present their perspectives on the impact of the Israeli military presence in the West Bank on Israel’s welfare and how U.S and Israeli policies should be changed to facilitate a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. From the news release:

The three IDF veterans, Hadas Cohen, Amir Nathan and Noam Wiener will discuss their experiences in the Israeli military and their vision for Israel’s path to peace. Following this discussion, the group will answer questions from the audience.

This program will be offered twice in the Greater Albany area,: at 7:30 PM on Saturday March 10th at Congregation Berith Shalom (167 Third St. Troy, N) and at 1:30 PM on Sunday March 11th at the Golub Center (184 Washington Ave. Ext. Albany NY). Media coverage is welcome.

Between the veterans, they have served in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Lebanese border and throughout Israel. They also have professional and academic backgrounds in political science, international law and human rights issues. The combination of these experiences gives them a unique perspective in challenging conventional understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its prospects for resolution.

J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans fighting for the future of Israel as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people. We believe that Israel’s Jewish and democratic character depend on a two-state solution, resulting in a Palestinian state living alongside Israel in peace and security.

J Street advocates forcefully in the policy process, in Congress, in the media, and in the Jewish community to make sure public officials and community leaders clearly see the depth and breadth of support regarding Middle East policy among voters and supporters in their states and districts.
