Transforming America’s Israel Lobby: Prospects for Peace & the Role of the American Jewish Community An evening with Dan Fleshler,media and public affairs strategist.

Dan Fleshler is a board member of Ameinu and Americans for Peace Now
and is on the Advisory Council of J Street, three American Jewish
organizations that advocate active, balanced U.S. engagement in the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Flesher’s recent book, Transforming America’s Israel Lobby: The Limits of Its Power and the Potential for Change, offers insights into the shifts taking place in the pro-Israel American Jewish community, including growing dissent against what he calls the “conventional Israel lobby.” Former Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis has written that Fleshler’s book “dispels many myths while facing squarely some perennial dilemmas faced by peace-seeking American Jews, and outlines a pro-peace, pro-Israel, pro-Palestinian and pro-American road forward for them to take.” Free admission Sponsored by Congregations Neveh Shalom, Shir Tikvah, Beth Israel (Eugene) and Kol Shalom, and Brit Tzedek v’Shalom, The Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace, Portland and Eugene Chapters
