In the wake of our first national conference in Washington, DC, it's clearer than ever to
the national political establishment that broad political support
exists in our community for active American leadership to resolve the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Watch a quick montage from the conference on your right.
If you couldn't make it to Washington, go here for archived video, pics, news, and more. We've posted lots of video, including President Obama's National Security Advisor General Jones' speech and Jordanian King Abdullah's video greeting.

Why Do You Stand With J Street?
Posted: Oct 14, 2009
J Street asked pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans why they stand with J Street as we work to achieve a two-state solution and secure true peace for Israel and the entire Middle East.
"My children were born in Jerusalem during the bus and cafe bombings
of the second intifada. J Street's powerful voicing of the majority
opinion that strong US leadership is required to achieve a peaceful
two-state solution gives me hope that Israeli children won't have to
live through a time like that again."
- Janette, Massachusetts
"I stand with J Street because as an American-born Jew whose father
fought in WWII, I love Israel, and believe passionately in its right to
exist, and also think that the path to guaranteeing a future of
prosperity, peace and hope involves a two-state solution and reaching
out to the Palestinians."
- Stacey, New Mexico
