An intensive lobbying campaign is underway in the United States to convince board members of the Jewish National Fund in Israel to block the authorization of land purchases in the West Bank.
A vote by the organization’s Israel-based board of directors, scheduled for Thursday, April 22, will determine if the organization will make a historic pivot by beginning to purchase West Bank land for the purpose of expanding and developing existing Israeli settlements.

Progressives rally around Nancy Kaufman for antisemitism envoy role


“I have had a foot in the mainstream Jewish world and in the progressive Jewish world and I think I have credibility in both worlds,” Kaufman said in an interview.
Kaufman helmed NCJW for seven years, stepping down in 2019 as the organization relocated from New York to Washington, D.C. Prior to that position, she led the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston for 20 years.
Kaufman was named to the Forward 50 in 2012 for injecting “energy and purpose” into NCJW and “using her network of 90,000 members and supporters to advocate for the progressive causes that have long animated her career.” ....

An increase in draft-dodging leads Israel’s army to lament a “decreased motivation to serve” among the population.
Such incidents from the last couple years remain absent from Haymarket’s anthology
Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, published in December 2020, and from Steve Leigh’s review published late last month in ....
