Today, Israel faces clear choices to change its present path away from the status quo and toward resolution of the conflict. As pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans we also face a clear choice: accept this deteriorating situation or continue to push for a negotiated agreement.

Please join J Street Portland and Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder and President of J Street, for a discussion moderated by David Sarasohn on what we can do as pro-Israel, pro-peace advocates to achieve a secure and democratic future for the Jewish homeland.

WHEN: Tuesday, December, 9 at 7:00PM 
WHERE: Mittleman JCC, 6651 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR
