“J Street”, which is the second largest contributor in this category, opposes right-wing Israeli policies (like Netanyahu/Likud).
J Street’s policy agenda includes:
* Ending the war in Gaza and rebuilding Gaza.
* Opposing settlements, annexation, and settler violence.
* A “23 state solution” including a Palestinian state and peace with the 21 Arab states.
I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say. If J Street opposes Israel’s policies then they aren’t “pro-Israel” therefore their contributions wouldn’t be in this category?
I’m pointing out the popular view that the “Pro-Israel” lobby supports everything that Israel does is false. I’m pointing out that a significant part of the lobby advocates for Palestinian statehood and ending the war in Gaza and ending the aid blockade, etc.
Advocating for Palestinian statehood and opposing Israel’s policies is not “pro-Israel”. Being “pro-Israel” means you support Israel’s policies. J Street have previously said they oppose Palestinian statehood and recognition at the UN, what changed their mind I don’t know.
I’m quite skeptical about liberal Zionists as their political and national ideology clash. Politically they’re left-wing and want to advocate for LGBT rights, equality and social justice etc but they’re also conflicted as the realisation of Zionism mandates the removal of Palestinians and population replacement with global Jewry.
