It doesn't need our taxpayer subsidies.
It's time to end that, and it's time to enforce our laws.
That's the position that we take, and it's a natural evolution of everything we've stood for.
Well, I do think you're laying out exactly the dynamics that have evolved over these last three years with the war in Gaza in particular.
And I think the level of anger at the Israeli government, at the IDF over what was done in Gaza, the anger at what is being allowed, if not encouraged, on the West Bank β
the push by Netanyahu to get us into this awful war.
And then what's happening in Lebanon.
I mean, the anger is understandable.
Uh, and, and it is going to be as with most anger, uh, focused mainly on how do we demonstrate, uh, our anger and how do we punish those who are doing things we don't like done?
Uh, I think where J street is going to probably just take a different path is at the end of the day, our, uh,
interest in all of this is in building a better future, right?
We want to focus on solutions, not on sort of how do we demonstrate our anger.
And the only way out of this war, this ongoing hundred-year conflict between Palestinians and Jews, is a political resolution of their underlying conflict.
And so J Street's always going to
center that.
We're going to center how do we get these two peoples to stop killing each other?
What is the way out of this?
Because the 7 million Palestinians who live between the river and the sea aren't going anywhere and the 7 million plus Jews who live between the river and the sea aren't going anywhere.
They're going to have to figure out a way to live together.
We can discuss whether or not there's any hope of there ever being sort of one democratic state with equal rights for all.
