‘For many young American Jews, the Trump-Bibi axis is the enemy’
Bradley Burston insists that his views about Israel haven't changed since he moved here in the 1970s. It's Israel which has changed. 'I would like to have two states. But hundreds of thousands of Israelis said ‘you can’t have it,’ and they run the country,' he says in a wide-ranging interview about Israel, the Nakba, and the changing face of American Jewry.

Anti-Semitism in the U.S. doesn’t make me want to move to Israel

Is J Street trying to rebrand Palestinian liberation?
As liberal Zionism finds itself in the middle of its latest battle for survival, J Street reconsiders forbidden alliances and what it means to be ‘pro-Israel.’ By Soleiman Moustafa Sitting on every seat in the massive auditorium hosting the opening session of J Street’s 5th annual conference last month was a bookmark emblazoned with the a map and…

Obama, Netanyahu and the Palestinian conflict: What’s next?
Something indeed changed in the Israel-U.S. relationship, the question is what actions will the U.S. take and how Netanyahu reacts — from the Security Council to Gaza. I just got back from the annual J Street conference. The atmosphere was very different from the 2013 conference. Back then it was all about the Kerry mission.…

Diaspora Jews, it’s time to step up
For years there have been calls for on-the-ground opposition to the occupation. Now there are a growing number of Jewish platforms — and voices — seeking to make it happen. By A.

J Street, turn your focus homeward
Notes from the J Street conference. Since Netanyahu’s resounding election win last week, there’s been a deluge of coverage in the American media of a deepening disillusionment among U.S. Jews over Israel. Whether in the New York Times, the Associated Press, or Bloomberg, the thesis is more or less what you’d expect: Netanyahu rode to victory on a…

How Israel stupefies so many brilliant Jews
It’s the occupation, professor. Deja vu from the Technion. On the eve of Passover 1988, I was working at the Technion, Israel’s prestigious technological institute in Haifa, writing fundraising prose.

Does Israel have a place in Jewish identity?
The proposed ‘Nation-State Law’ and a wave of violence point to the urgency of questioning Israel’s place in Jewish identity.
