Americans for Peace Now has serious concerns about HR 850, an AIPAC-backed Iran sanctions bill recently introduced in the House of Representatives.
Americans for Peace Now has serious concerns about S. Res. 65, an AIPAC-backed resolution recently introduced in the Senate that has beennicknamed by some the "Backdoor to War" resolution, since it effectively gives a green light for Israeli military action against Iran that, if carried out, would almost certainly require the U.S. to join the fight.
In the context of surging efforts to promote -- and block -- boycott/divestment/sanctions efforts, and in the context of a serious debate within Israel and the Jewish community about how to deal with growing international criticism of Israel, we believe it is important to make clear what APN does, and does not, support.

If I were the freshly re-elected prime minister of the State of Israel or the re-elected president of the United
States, I would pay attention to a lovely piece of public art in downtown Ramallah. It features the ethos of a
reformed Palestinian society.
Benjamin Netanyahu Failed With His Most Pandered-To Crowd
How did Benjamin Netanyahu do in West Bank settlements?
Considering his party's pro-settlement policies and the staunch pro-settlement positions of its leading Knesset
members, you'd expect Netanyahu's Likud-Beiteinu list to perform better among West Bank settlers than it did in
Israel proper. It didn't.

This election was a failure for the sitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his young guard in the Likud,
especially Education Minister Gideon Saar and Environment Minister Gilad Erdan, both of whom took leading roles in
the campaign. It was an astounding success for former journalist Yair Lapid and his centrist Yesh Atid party, and a
resounding comeback for the Zionist-left, especially the Meretz Party.
