We will not stand for this

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

Amb. Daniel C. Kurtzer on 'Reviving the Peace Process' (TRANSCRIPT)

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.

Statement by Nick Bunzl, IPF Executive Director

Israel Policy Forum (IPF) announces with regret the departure of our Director of Policy Analysis, MJ Rosenberg, who will leave IPF later this month to become a Senior Fellow at Media Matters Action Network, where he will comment on foreign affairs.

All of us at Israel Policy Forum offer MJ our appreciation for his eleven years of forceful pro-Israel advocacy with us on behalf of sustained American engagement in the Israel-Arab arena and of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

MJ has played a key role in helping IPF keep these issues before three successive US administrations, the Congress, the American Jewish community and the public.  For the past decade, IPF Friday, MJ's weekly opinion column, has become one of the most widely read pieces on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Often controversial, always provocative, MJ developed a signature style that pushed the envelope in a way that drove much needed discussion and debate on the issue, particularly online.

On the one hand, MJ's passion and creativity will certainly be missed by IPF; but on the other, we couldn't be happier for him.  In recent years he has become a natural blogger, and in his new role he will have the chance to focus his energies there.

We offer him our thanks, and wish him the best of luck.

Israel Policy Forum (www.israelpolicyforum.org), an independent, non-partisan American organization founded in 1993, advocates for sustained American diplomatic efforts to end the Israeli-Arab conflict and actively promotes a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
