On March 20th President Obama arrives in Jerusalem for his first visit since he became the President of the United States of America.
His visit, just weeks after the Israeli election, presents an historic opportunity for the international community to put the peace-process right at the top of the agenda.
In the spirit of this, we have put together a special edition of our blog from supporters of Yachad discussing their thoughts on Barack Obama’s visit and Israel-Palestine issues. In this edition:
Samuel Lebens – On settlements, Obama has to pick his battles with more foresight
Aaron Cohen-Gold – The settlements have not created peace and they have not created security for Israel.
Hayden Cohen – “This is Apartheid”: the reality is NOT that simple
Jessica Weiss - Israel hasn’t fulfilled its founding charter
David Ranan – Pressure on Israel – A Zionist Act?
Sign our letter to David Cameron asking him to tell President Obama the views of British Jews on Israel and our support for a negotiated peace. You can tweet using the hashtag #obamatoisrael.
We have produced an infographic combining statistics about the opinions of British Jewry and Israel, and supportive quotes from prominent Israeli politicians and security figures.
