We're proud to support the Two-State Solution Act, which embraces a number of actions the US government can and must take in order to truly support a peaceful two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and an end to the occupation of Palestinian Territory.

The Two-State Solution Act can help revitalize and reset the US commitment to peacefully resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- ensuring that we are always part of the solution and never part of the problem.

From our very own Nadav Tamir: "I have no interest in the blame game, I have an expectation that we as the strong and sovereign side will take responsibility. Responsibility means learning from our mistakes and stop looking for faults of the other as an excuse. The core element of Zionism was turning Jews from victims of history to those who shape it. The way to do this is not by engaging in the mistakes or evil of others, but by behaving like a responsible adult. Not as a brat in a street brawl."
