  • The Labor Party and the Peace Camp
    The Labor Party and the Peace Camp By Uzi Baram In contemporary Israeli public discourse, the preoccupation with ideology has died down markedly, to the point that even releasing a political platform as part of elections campaigns has become superfluous. Politicians from across the political spectrum are focused on distinguishing themselves from other contenders by labeling themselves and their rivals as right, left and center, while floating around in the air are slogans such as “political left,” social left,” “soft right,” “new right,” and “mainstream right.” Yet what do “left” and “right” mean in Israel, and to what extent do these slogans as well as the political division in today’s Israel correlate with the political traditions of the various parties? Is the Labor Party the obvious and natural heir of The Workers Party of the Land of Israel (Mapai)? Did the historical Mapai under the stewardship of Ben Gurion view itself as a left-wing party? Did Menachem Begin’s Herut Party see itself as a right-wing party? The Zionist Left and the Soviet Union As far-fetched as it may seem in the eyes of today’s onlooker, during the first years after the establishment of the state, the position vis-à-vis the Soviet Union was the litmus test of the left camp, which was then called “the workers’ camp.” This camp viewed the centrist liberal “General Zionists” party, which was identified with European liberal and middle-class beliefs in private property and capitalism, as its chief ideological rival (and with which the heads of major cities such as Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan were affiliated)­.

  • 2008 Annual Report
    J Street 2008 BLAZING A NEW PATH December 2008 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “What took you so long?” “Where have you been?” Those are the most common reactions I’ve gotten to J Street’s launch this year as the political voice for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans. The concept behind J Street is simple: For too long, the loudest voices dominating American political debate on Israel and the Middle East have come from the far right. Thanks to them, eight years of failed policy have left Israel less secure, the Middle East less stable and the reputation of the United States in disrepair. We knew that those voices – whether neoconservatives, Christian Zionists or right-wing American Jews – did not speak for us. We recognized that the majority of Americans support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Pal- estinian conflict and realize thatI srael’s survival as a democratic state and home for the Jewish people depends on establishing peace with its neighbors in the region. Little did we know how right we were! The response to J Street has been staggering. As I write, we’re approaching 100,000 supporters online. Thou- sands of people have donated to us and to candidates endorsed by our independent PAC. Our PAC (JStreet- PAC) endorsed 41 Congressional candidates and raised more than $575,000 for them (more than any other pro-Israel PAC in the country!). The majority is silent no more. We have spoken out against fear-mongering and race-baiting in the guise of supporting Israel. We have taken on the unholy alliance struck by some Israel supporters with John Hagee and his ultra-conservative Christian Zionist movement.
