Annexation would have disastrous consequences for regional stability, human rights and prospects for a just and sustainable peace. Join the movement to stop annexation. Add your name:

American Jews Oppose Annexation

We will fight from now until July 1 to prevent annexation and defend the prospects for a negotiated solution which gives both Israelis and Palestinians the peace, security and freedom they deserve.

Israeli annexation of occupied territory clearly violates international law. An outcome in which Palestinians are denied equality, freedom, and self-determination is an affront to our values and interests. It should not be supported by the United States.

For one thing, many Jewish people have participated in or even led protests that are fiercely critical of the Israeli government and supportive of Palestinian rights. They are clearly not motivated by hatred of the Jewish people.

Thank you, @RepJayapal . Netanyahu's far-right coalition is deepening the occupation and doing untold harm to Israel's democracy. To truly support a secure, just, peaceful future for Israelis & Palestinians, the US needs to push back against discriminatory & destructive policies.

The occupation is a matter of fact, not political opinion. US leadership to end the occupation through a viable 2state solution was the official US position prior to Trump. @ewarren 's position is mainstream. Trump & the RJC hold the extreme view.

While @POTUS is committed to Israel’s security and knows the US-Israel relationship runs deeper than politics, Netanyahu is doing everything he can to undermine Biden and boost Trump so he can maintain the forever war he needs to keep himself in power and out of a courtroom.

Netanyahu has mostly refused to engage with Israeli media. He reportedly has not previously met with the survivors from devastated kibbutzim. But he will take time to speak with a billionaire who platforms antisemites and white nationalists.
