Today is Giving Tuesday, and I am writing to ask you to consider donating to Americans for Peace Now and to Israel’s Peace Now movement, two organizations that work together to advance the liberal values championed by the founders of both the U.S. and Israel.

I just returned from Israel after an exciting week with APN’s annual Israel study tour.

During my stay there, I had dozens of conversations with progressive Israeli friends. All of them – in one way or another, sometimes basking in schadenfreude – welcomed me to their club.

APN's Lara Friedman spoke on November 23rd  on the Churches for Middle East Peace Panel: Prospects for Peace: Obama's Last Stand and Opportunities in the New Administration

The panel was moderated by CMEP Executive Director Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, on the prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace in President Obama's remaining months in office and the opportunities and challenges moving forward in the next administration. The panel will include Lara Friedman (Americans for Peace Now), Matthew Duss (Foundation for Middle East Peace) and Dr. James Zogby (Arab American Institute).

As part of an ongoing series, APN is running this message this week in the Washington Jewish Week and the Baltimore Jewish Times from former Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin .
