"Reclaiming Israel's Future"

Our new campaign re-focuses energy and attention on the challenges to Israel's future as a democracy and a Jewish state. We cover each core issue in this conflict: settlements, Jerusalem, borders and security, hatred and incitement, the conflicting narratives of Israelis and Palestinians, and how to support a two-state solution.

APN Press Release: Statement on PC (USA) Divestment Decision

Following the decision by the Presbyterian Church (USA) to divest from three U.S. companies whose products, they argue, are used to support Israeli occupation, Americans for Peace Now today issued the following statement:

“Last Friday’s decision of the Presbyterian Church of the United States to divest from three major U.S. companies should serve as a resounding warning for the Israeli government. Increasingly large segments of American society - including ones that care deeply about Israel’s future and invest in it – are losing patience with the nearly five decades-long occupation and with the Israeli government’s refusal to act seriously to bring it to an end. Pressure for decisions like the one taken by PC (USA) is growing, supported by Americans who are neither anti-Israel nor anti-Semitic.
