May the story of our ancestors guide us to fight for freedom and justice for all. From all of us at J Street, we wish you a meaningful Passover.

🗞️ On the eve of the holiday of Passover, a new poll shows a majority of American Jews oppose the joint US-Israeli war on Iran, even as 90% of them say they oppose the Iranian regime. religionnews.com/2026/03/31/o...

Ahead of Passover, an 11-year-old girl is fighting for her life after an Iranian cluster bomb hit central Israel. This is not what life should look like for anyone, let alone a child. www.timesofisrael.com/girl-critica...

“To see it enacted in Israel, in such a blatantly discriminatory way, is a profound violation of the principles that bind the Jewish people together,” said J Street President @jeremybenami.bsky.social.

ICYMI in @politico.com: A majority of American Jews oppose both the US war with Iran and unconditional US military support to Israel. The message is clear: Endless war has cost too much. Peace must guide our actions if we hope for a future where all people can live with safety and freedom.

For too long, AIPAC has tried to enforce a false choice: Don’t criticize Israel or lose your election. Daniel Biss shows that candidates can stand for Israel, for Palestinians, and for peace – and still win. 👇 www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This discriminatory death penalty law moves Israel further from the Jewish and democratic values on which it was founded – and from the core values of American Jews. 1/3

📈 NEW POLL: A clear majority of American Jews oppose the war with Iran. • 60% oppose U.S. military action • 77% say Trump has no clear plan • 63% prefer diplomacy over war • 70% oppose unconditional aid to Israel Read more: jstreet.org/polling/

Israeli soldiers assaulted and detained a CNN crew in the West Bank. That is unacceptable, and in this case, the IDF acted to remove the unit. But it underscores a deeper problem: Palestinians face brutality every day without the same justice. That cannot be ignored.

Zionism is a test of whether a people long denied power can exercise it faithful to the moral principles we claim to uphold. At this moment, we are failing the test. @jeremybenami.bsky.social’s latest on Word on the Street: jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/are-you-a-...

Ensuring families in Israel can observe Passover with dignity, even under fire, is a profound act of care. World Central Kitchen is showing what it means to stand up for humanity, even in the most divided moments.

Today in @washingtonpost.com: The gap between the US and Iran remains vast, said @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social, who advised the Biden White House on Middle East policy. “The American position was essentially Iranian surrender, and the Iranian response was essentially American surrender.”

All in one day: Settler terrorists killed a Palestinian man and attacked several others across the West Bank. Meanwhile, multiple illegal outposts were established overnight. When violent extremists act with impunity, the responsibility lies with the government that refuses to stop them.

Israel already tried a long-term “security zone” in Lebanon. It cost hundreds of Israeli lives and didn’t bring lasting safety. Nadav Tamir on why Israel shouldn’t repeat the mistakes of the past and needs a diplomatic strategy instead. blogs.timesofisrael.com/building-bri...

Before any additional troops are deployed, the American people need answers: What are the objectives? What is the strategy? What is the exit plan? We cannot stumble into another endless war. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

At a time of rising antisemitism, Islamophobia and expanding war, Jewish and Muslim Americans must stand together – not be pitted against one another. That’s why J Street and the Muslim Public Affairs Council are speaking with one voice to defend democracy, reject hatred and oppose endless war.

Israel’s long-term occupation of southern Lebanon would be a grave mistake – for Israeli security, for Lebanese civilians, and for the region. We’ve seen this play out before. It did not end in security.

Missile defense saves lives. But when even a small percentage gets through, civilians pay the price. There is no such thing as a “clean” war. And there is no purely military solution to this conflict.

American Jews will not be silenced. We can support Israel and still oppose this war with Iran. Rejecting a loyalty test that demands blind support for every policy is not anti-Israel – it’s pro-democracy and pro-accountability. 🧵

As the war with Iran continues, right-wing voices inside Israel are calling for conquering parts of southern Lebanon. If this becomes a part of the war’s objective, the consequences for Israel’s security, legitimacy and future will be profound. Safety will never be built on permanent occupation.

Reports suggest the Trump Administration is sending 2,000 troops to the Middle East. We’ve seen this movie before: A forever war, no clear endgame, with American lives at risk. This is a sequel we’re not interested in. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Our commitment to Israel cannot look like silence. It should be speaking up when it matters most. American Jews have every right and responsibility to question a war launched by the US and Israel without a clear strategy or endgame. More by J Street’s @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social and Nadav Tamir:

NEW from J Street President @jeremybenami.bsky.social: Responsibility for this war begins in the Oval Office. But the conversation cannot end there. If we want to get out of this war, we have to be honest about how we got into it – and that conversation must be possible without antisemitism.

After a violent settler attack, an Israeli rabbi visited a Palestinian community and heard testimony of men beaten while bound and families terrorized. 1/2

It should not take this level of settler terror – harassing Palestinian families, burning homes, attacking entire villages – for the world to speak out and condemn rampant violence. 1/2

When someone who has goose-stepped to Nazi marching songs and boasted about owning Mein Kampf runs for Congress, pro-Israel organizations must put partisanship aside and sound the alarm. Fighting antisemitism means calling it out wherever it appears. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Prices for basic food in Gaza are surging. Hospitals are reporting shortages of medical supplies. Since the start of the war with Iran, Israel has reduced aid let into the Strip by 80%. Netanyahu’s hoping we’ll look away and forget. It’s our responsibility not to.

Israeli forces killed a mother, a father, and two of their young children in the West Bank. Reports say the officers responsible may not even be questioned. Jewish values demand the sanctity of every human life. The absence of accountability endangers everyone. www.haaretz.com/west-bank/20...

In @foreignaffairs.com, @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social writes: America has no good options in Iran – and that’s exactly why the US needs an off-ramp now. This war has no clear objectives, no theory of victory, and no exit strategy. We’ve seen this movie before. It doesn’t end well.

Dozens of settlers carried out violent, coordinated attacks across the West Bank this weekend – attacking Palestinian villages, burning buildings and cars. They are organized, funded and politically protected. Those who oppose this terror must be organized too. We cannot let their movement win.

Iranian missiles hit Israeli communities over the weekend. A kindergarten was damaged, and dozens of Israelis were injured. Israeli civilians are paying the price of a war that keeps escalating with no clear end. apnews.com/article/iran...

We are disgusted by the news that Jewish volunteer ambulances were set on fire in an antisemitic attack. This is an attack on the Jewish community and on the basic values of any decent society. We stand in solidarity with London’s Jewish community and support bringing those responsible to justice.

“Everybody’s suffering. This is terrible for everyone.” Watch @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social’s conversation with @wajali.bsky.social about the war in Iran and what comes next here: jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/meet-the-o...

Criticism of Israel is not inherently antisemitic, and attempts to intimidate or limit free speech on college campuses by the Trump Administration will not protect Jews.

This week, @danielbiss.bsky.social held a master class in how to stand up to AIPAC’s shady tactics while still standing firmly in our values and embracing the tough nuance of the conversation around Israel-Palestine. Read more from @contrariannews.org: www.contrariannews.org/p/undaunted-...

A searing warning from J Street Israel’s Nadav Tamir on what’s unfolding in the West Bank. He describes a dangerous reality: State-backed settlement expansion, rising settler violence & a breakdown of accountability that’s harming Palestinians and eroding Israel’s security & its moral foundations.

@ilangoldenberg.bsky.social spent 15 years gaming out what a US-Iran war would look like. Trump chose the worst-case scenario: Escalation, economic shock and long-term instability. Read @zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/i-wargamed...

To our Jewish community: This is what’s happening in the West Bank right now. A Palestinian man describes a brutal sexual assault by Israeli settlers amid a wider pattern of escalating terror and impunity allowed by the state. 1/2

Heartbreaking. Iranian missiles killed four Palestinian women in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank often rely on distant sirens from settlements or nearby Israeli towns and have far fewer protections, like bomb shelters, from attacks. This is what endless war looks like. Enough.

WATCH: Daniel Biss delivers his victory speech to cheers in the room, making an unapologetic statement for his commitment to the dignity and equality of Palestinians and Israelis. THIS is why we’re so proud to support @danielbiss.bsky.social 👇

We are heartbroken by the killing of Yaron and Ilana Moshe in Ramat Gan – killed just steps from safety by an Iranian missile. Targeting civilians is indefensible. And this is the cost of escalation: More lives lost, more families shattered.

Today in @politico.com: Tuesday’s results “should send a clear message to candidates across the country: you do not have to fear AIPAC’s spending or intimidation,” said Jeremy Ben-Ami, the president of J Street. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Fresh off his IL-09 victory, @danielbiss.bsky.social joins us live at 4pm ET. What comes next – and what does this moment mean politically? Plus: Iran and antisemitism in the US to start off the hour. 🔗 open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Congratulations to Daniel Biss on his IL-09 win! 🎉 A strong voice for diplomacy, democracy and the equal rights of Israelis and Palestinians – proving these values resonate with voters. We are proud to support leaders like him.

Big congratulations to La Shawn K. Ford on his victory in IL-07! We look forward to continuing our work together as we gear up for the general election in November 💪

House Foreign Affairs Democrats, led by @meeks.house.gov, are demanding Rubio, Hegseth, Witkoff and Kushner testify to Congress on the Iran War. Americans deserve answers on how this unauthorized military conflict was planned. Their full letter ⬇️

“I grew up under rocket fire. I fought in Lebanon. I lost friends.” J Street’s Nadav Tamir writes: Israel has an opportunity to pursue diplomacy with Lebanon and prevent another generation from living through war. It can’t be missed. blogs.timesofisrael.com/ahead-of-the...

War is not the solution. Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel and peace advocates are calling on Trump and Netanyahu to end the war with Iran and pursue a political path forward across the region. Their message is clear: Our safety won’t come from endless escalation.

Many Democratic candidates running today support Israel’s security and believe Palestinians deserve rights. What they’re rejecting is the idea that millions from AIPAC should force them to embrace Israel’s hard-line, right-wing policies. @cnn.com reports the pushback is growing:

Two weeks into war with Iran, the administration still can’t explain its strategy. Americans are paying the price: Oil costs and instability abroad are rising, and US troops are in harm’s way. This reckless war of choice is making America, Israel & the region less safe. apnews.com/article/trum...
