Jewish-American groups reject Netanyahu visit to US
Some Jewish and Israeli-American organisations, including those groups who are ardent supporters of Israel, are refusing to give an audience to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Middle East Eye reports that organisations like the liberal Zionist J-Street and Americans for Peace Now, to the expressly anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace have rejected the prime minister's visit while several lawmakers and senators have refused to attend his address.
“We’re against Netanyahu’s arrival. For us, the main call right now is to stop the genocide but the long-term is to dismantle the apartheid system and to find a statewide solution that ensures equal rights, freedom, and safety for all people between the river and the sea,” Ruslana, an organiser with Shoresh, a US-based group of Israelis that describes itself as anti-Zionist, told MEE.
