Dear Friends,
My invitation to this conversation with Peter Beinart, renowned journalist and commentator in the world of Israel-Palestine, sparked a great deal of interest, and I wanted to be sure you didn’t miss the recording >>
We don’t agree on everything – Peter's broken from Zionism entirely, and I still believe that my liberal values and my belief in a state that is the national home of the Jewish people can be reconciled.
At the end of the day, we both want a future rooted in freedom, dignity and safety for Palestinians and Israelis. That kind of shared ground matters more than ever, especially as too many in our own community stay silent or look away.
If you want to see more conversations like these in the future – reaching across divides and finding common ground – I hope you’ll consider creating a Substack account and subscribing to me on Word on the Street.

If there’s one thing I took from our discussion, it’s this: Dialogue across differences is vital. We need to engage with views with which we disagree and not shut them out. If we keep lines of communication open, we will find the areas where we do agree and open our minds to thoughts and ideas we have not considered. I hope you enjoy our exchange, and subscribe to stay in the loop >>
Hope you can tune in,
Jeremy Ben-Ami
J Street President
