      This is a thrilling time, David - the opportunity to make concrete
      policy changes has never been greater. But we need you.

Dear David,

*I have to admit that I feel a sense of relief.*

Now that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians have 
collapsed, the world can stop pretending.

Israel’s provocative settlement expansion during these recent talks (and 
for decades before) sent a crystal clear message: the Israeli government 
has no interest in Palestinian rights, international law, or a lasting 
peace for both peoples.

*But this time around, there was nearly universal recognition of 
Israel's role in ending the talks. That's a game-changer.*

If you ever imagined an ideal time to give - this is it. *_Can you help 
make our Summer Campaign a success and make a $36 donation today, 
David?_

JVP isn't backed by big foundations or gazillionaire philanthropists. So 
we need you - not just your passionate activism, but your financial 
commitment.* We're just $48,000 away from our Summer Campaign goal - can 
you take us a step closer? *

The countless opportunities to make /genuine/ progress — by creating 
pressure on large institutions and governments to change their policies 
— have never been greater. /Divestment battles are breaking out, 
literally, every single day. But we need your help./

Our political opponents who want to preserve the status quo are 
struggling to distract us with their deceptive position: two-states in 
name, apartheid in practice. So now they’re turning all their energy 
toward stopping the only strategy that actually can bring peace to both 
peoples: economic pressure to make Israel accountable to international law.

That makes it even more urgent that Jewish Voice for Peace help make 
this simple truth a reality:

/*A lasting and fair agreement - whatever it may look like - requires a 
negotiating table where Palestinians, and not just Israelis, have real 
power.*/

*_*David: we are building this movement together, and have to take the 
next step together too. Can you add a $36 contribution today?*_ 
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GeUzHox4hRDFG7NULeC8gPrT%2BpdvEQbJ>*

In the coming days, we’re sending a team of JVP rabbis, grassroots 
leaders, board members, and staff to Detroit to stand with allies in the 
Presbyterian Church as their General Assembly votes on divestment from 
companies that profit from the occupation.

We’re bringing our strategic, engaged, and passionate advocacy to our 
on-the ground relationships with Christian and Muslim allies, carrying 
the same message together:
/Divestment is pro-peace. It is pro-unity. It is pro-justice— for all 
people./

In the post-talks era, this is the best way forward. And our allies in 
the Presbyterian Church who are willing to take a moral, visionary stand 
deserve all the support we can mobilize - especially in the face of the 
tidal wave of slander coming from the right.

*For us, this work is a form of /tochecha/, the Jewish tradition of 
sacred rebuke, the obligation to remind members of one’s community to 
live by their values. *It is fueled by love for justice, equality, and 
human rights, like every justice movement the world has seen.

*_*Please consider giving $36 now. We need your help shaping this new 
era, together.*_

There’s a reason JVP and this movement are growing hand-in-hand. More 
importantly, there’s a reason to take it a step further. So that all 
people in Israel and Palestine can live in peace, side by side, as equals.

Onward,

      <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GK3iJ%2Ba6s07TiZdYO0V%2FU7hiGRfR4djZ>
