Dear Member,
President Obama is pushing hard for Israeli-Palestinian
peace, and he needs our support. The President:
* is pressing Israel to adopt a settlement freeze,
* has made clear to the Palestinians that violence is
not the way forward, and * has been urging Arab states
to take important steps in exchange for Israeli concessions.
He is taking a lot of flak for his efforts, and
that's where Brit Tzedek comes in.
When President Obama takes such stands, he needs to be able
to count on Jewish community support. For seven years, Brit
Tzedek has been showing that supporting Israel means working for
a viable peace. Now is when our voice -- your voice -- can most
make an impact. Please renew your membership today. Your
membership donation makes our work possible.
American Jews can make a big difference right now by publicly
standing behind the President. Brit Tzedek has been an
enthusiastic and prominent supporter of the President's drive
for a settlement freeze. We have long called for active U.S.
leadership in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now,
we have a president who agrees with our positions, and we must
stand up in support of his actions. The time of endless talks
and inaction is long gone.
Brit Tzedek takes action, and has been effective. Members of
Congress -- including an ever increasing number of Jewish
members -- sign resolutions and letters that we advocate for.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (the Jewish equivalent of the
Associated Press) repeatedly covers our positions and activities
as it reports on reaction within the American Jewish community
to events in the Middle East. And discussion and debate in
the Jewish community is focused more than ever on the role of
the United States in Israel's struggle for peace. Brit Tzedek
matters, and is needed more than ever. Help make it possible for us to do our
work.
Your past support of Brit Tzedek has been invaluable. It
allowed us to gather the signatures of over 1,000 rabbis,
cantors, and rabbinical students calling for active US diplomacy
in the region. And it has contributed to the changed atmosphere
in the Jewish community and in Congress. Now we need to build on
these successes.
Will you continue to strengthen our efforts to mobilize
public support for strong leadership for peace from the
Administration and Congress? Please renew your membership today.
As America's largest and most vibrant grassroots Jewish peace
organization, we need your support to rally the Jewish community
behind pro-peace initiatives, and counter the efforts of those
who are opposing the President's welcome new initiatives.
Brit Tzedek's voice is recognized and respected by our
elected officials and by national leaders in the Jewish
community. If we work together, we can make a huge
difference.
Do not delay. Renew today at: https://npo.networkforgood.org/Donate/Donate.aspx?npoSubscriptionId=1000771&code=renewal_20090806
Thank you for continuing to stand with us.
Sincerely,
Steve Masters President
