Who would have imagined...

An extremely popular American President.

A President who, in his first 100 days, has put resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict front and center in his Administration's foreign policy.

A President who has repeatedly shown his deep commitment to diplomacy and the willingness to take bold and necessary steps.

Who would have imagined this scenario 6 months ago?

We did. You did -- members of a growing pro-Israel, pro-peace community that believes 2 states living securely side-by-side is both critical and achievable.

Together, we have been working toward this time of unique challenge and opportunity. The creation of an Israeli and a Palestinian state living side by side is possible during the first term of this Administration -- thus ensuring a safer future for Israel, the Palestinians, the U.S., and the entire world community.

There has already been pressure on President Obama to slow down, veiled calls for him to continue the status quo.

This is where you come in. We need to make public the tremendous grassroots support President Obama has among American Jews and our allies as he moves forward with assertive diplomacy in the Middle East.

Join us and other prominent members of the American Jewish community by signing Brit Tzedek's pledge to stand by President Obama.

We've Got Your Back, Mr. President
A Pledge to Build Support for President Obama's Pursuit of Israeli-Palestinian Peace

Dear President Obama,

Please know that I share your sense of urgency to bring peace to the Middle East.

Therefore, I pledge:

  • to back your committed and persistent leadership in support of a negotiated two-state solution

  • to work within my communities to build the political will that will enable you to take decisive and bold steps -- and to urge Congress to support you in this endeavor

  • to make it known that an American President who dedicates himself to establishing a durable Israeli-Palestinian peace acts in the best interests of Israelis, Palestinians, the United States and our allies

  • to support you in staying the course through difficult times and to celebrate your successes

In Hebrew, the words for wind and for spirit are one and the same -- ruach. As you work for peace, I promise that the ruach of the American Jewish people and our friends in the pro-Israel community will be at your back.
