Our hearts are with Temple Israel. Synagogues are homes of Jewish life. It’s where children learn, where families gather. They deserve to be safe.
This violence is a reminder of the threats facing Jewish communities. We stand united against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.
Rep. Andy Ogles says Muslims don’t belong in America. Now he’s being cheered on by Regavim, the far-right settler group founded by Bezalel Smotrich that pushes Palestinian displacement in the West Bank.
All a part of the same dangerous worldview.
Trump and his advisers dismissed warnings that Iran might retaliate by disrupting global oil supplies.
Now shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has stalled and prices are spiking – exactly the scenario experts warned about.
Arab parties in the Knesset could reshape Israeli politics for the better, but only if they are willing to join a governing coalition and Jewish leaders are willing to accept them: 2/2 jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/arab-israe...
Arab citizens of Israel are confronting record violence, government neglect, and political persecution – and responding with renewed unity. 1/2 jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/arab-israe...
Evidence recovered from the rubble of an Iranian elementary school strike that killed 175 people, most of them children, points to an American-made missile.
Nearly every Senate Democrat is demanding a swift investigation and transparency. The public deserves answers 👇
Bigotry of all kinds has no place in America.
If a member of Congress said Jews don’t belong in this country, there would rightly be outrage. GOP leadership should condemn this unequivocally.
We stand with our Muslim neighbors against Islamophobia and all forms of hate.
Real security cannot come from a war with no clear plan and no clear end.
Leaders must act now to protect civilians, restore humanitarian access and prevent even greater devastation across the region. 4/4
This is what reckless war looks like: Mass displacement, risk of hunger, collapsing economies and millions living in fear.
Diplomacy and de-escalation are urgently needed before this catastrophe deepens. 3/4
The toll is staggering: Hundreds killed in Lebanon, thousands injured in Israel and over a thousand civilians reported dead in Iran.
Across the region, families are losing homes, livelihoods and loved ones as bombs fall and missiles fly. 2/4
Nearly 700,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon, including 200,000 children, as this war spreads across the Middle East.
Families are fleeing homes, sleeping in cars, crossing borders with whatever they can carry. Civilians are paying the price for a widening war. 1/4
As the Netanyahu government advances a settlement plan that could bury the possibility of a Palestinian state, the question for the international community is simple: Will opposition to settlements finally come with consequences?
Two Israeli construction workers have now died after an Iranian cluster missile struck their construction site. They were simply trying to do their jobs when the sirens sounded.
Every civilian life lost in this war is a tragedy – and it must end.
“A war that was meant to prevent Iran from having a bomb could be the war that actually pushed Iran beyond the Rubicon to reach a bomb,” said Danny Citrinowicz, former head of the Iran branch of Israel’s military intelligence 👇

Missiles are hitting Israel. Drones are striking cities in the Gulf. Bombs are falling in Iran.
Families across the Middle East are living in fear while this war keeps widening. Continued escalation without a plan will only bring more loss.
When sirens sound, every child deserves somewhere safe to run.
Jewish & Arab activists from Standing Together are raising funds and bringing bomb shelters to Bedouin communities in Israel’s south who’ve long been left without protection.
Eroding Democratic support for Israel isn’t inevitable – but the policies of Netanyahu and the strategy of AIPAC are driving the rupture.
J Street President @jeremybenami.bsky.social on the hard look in the mirror Israeli and Jewish leaders must take: jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/why-netany...
Thank you Senators Schatz, Shaheen, Warner, Murray, Reed and Coons for your leadership. www.foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/re...
At least 100 civilians, most of them children, were reportedly killed in a strike on an Iranian school. Reporting suggests US forces may have conducted the strike.
Now, leading Senate Democrats are demanding an investigation. The American public deserves answers.
Settlers shot and killed two Palestinians in the West Bank, and another died after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
Every Palestinian life lost to this violence deepens the moral crisis of the occupation. Israel’s future can’t be built on this reality.
An Israeli civilian was killed by Iranian missiles in central Israel.
Across the Middle East, civilians are living with the same fear – families in Israel, Iran and beyond fearing the next strike.
This spiral must stop. We must pull back from this war.
There must be accountability and transparency. Children belong in classrooms building their futures, not buried beneath the rubble of war. 2/2
@nytimes.com reporting suggests a strike on a school in Iran – killing roughly 175 people, mostly kids – likely occurred during US attacks on a nearby military base. 1/2
Understanding Iran matters, especially in war.
Crisis Group’s Iran Project Director Ali Vaez writes that the Islamic Republic isn’t a messianic theocracy or a brittle dictatorship. It’s something more complex – and more resilient – than many policymakers assume 👇
A familiar pattern of brutality in the West Bank:
– Settlers harass a Palestinian community.
– Israeli activists show up to protect them.
– Authorities bar the activists.
– The harassment escalates.
– Families flee their homes.
We loved making new friends, and reconnecting with old ones, from the US, Israel, and Palestine, at @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social's convention in DC! Thanks to all who stopped by our table and held the conversations essential for a future of human rights, peace for Israelis and Palestinians. 🧵
What happens after the bombs stop falling?
In a new analysis, J Street’s @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social examines the possible endgames of war with Iran – from a weakened but dangerous regime to state collapse.
A critical look at where things go from here: jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/where-the-...
We just wrapped up an incredible Convention.
For a few days, 1,500 of us came together – organizers, students, leaders, allies – to recommit to the future we believe in.
A future of freedom, dignity and safety for Israelis and Palestinians alike. The work continues. 💙
“Americans are dying.”
At the J Street National Convention, @vanhollen.senate.gov called on Congress to reclaim its authority over decisions of war and peace.
No president should be able to launch a war alone.
We’re thinking especially of the many Israeli partners and activists who were just with us at our Convention – now trying to get home while the country shelters from missiles.
No family across the Middle East should have to live like this.
