Israel Policy Forum is shocked and appalled by the column published in the Atlanta Jewish Times by its owner and publisher Andrew Adler calling for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States policy includes its helping the Jewish state obl

In an ideal world, if we were writing this up as a scenario we would say let’s put this all on hold, and everyone stays away happily and nothing changes for the worse, and we pick it up perhaps when everyone is stronger. But status quos are not status quos and people know that. They either get better – or more commonly – they actually get worse because they are left neglected. I fear that this status quo, over the next 10 or 11 months if there isn’t some very significant policy activity, will deteriorate into violence.

Settlements: Moshe Yaroni On The Myth Of Natural Growth

Moshe Yaroni is doing the best writing I've seen lately on President Obama's call for a settlement freeze.

In this piece in Jewcy, Dr. Yaroni debunks the whole natural increase myth (the argument that a settlement freeze will prevent settler families from having kids) and explains why a freeze is worth the political capital it will cost Obama to achieve it.

It is worth a read. Obama is under pressure from the Likudniks in Israel and the neocons here. Here are the facts.

pro-peace family trips to Israel?

Submitted by DrSteveB on June 24, 2009 - 8:32pm.

A little off topic, but unsure of how else to reach you:

Do you know of any, as J-Street would put it, pro-Israel/pro-Peace group tours to Israel?  

I am your typical btvshalom/J-street/IPF supporting American Jew... going back to Friends of Peace Now and New Jewish Agenda in the 1980s.

The oldtime/mainline American Jewish organizations, AJC, etc. have always done a great job of showing American Jews around Israel with packaged tours. Many synagogues sponsor trips.

And of course there is Birthright. Oy!  

I am planning a family trip in late 2009 or 2010, timed to my daughter Bat Mitzvah... any suggestions for organizations/groups/packages that have a balanced/pro-real-peace flavor?   If not, there might be a market in it for somebody.
