If Democratic leaders want to be a party of the rising American electorate - those of us Jewish and otherwise committed to freedom and dignity for all - they must refuse to put their values aside for campaign funding or easy endorsements.

The problem arises, especially for younger generations of Zionists, when this inspiring narrative is paired with how every mention of peace or two states is associated with Palestinian rejectionism as the ultimate, insurmountable obstacle.
Including the questionable claim perpetuated by the organized Jewish community that Israel — in its current leadership — supports a Palestinian state and a peace process, active observers can see clearly through the consensus talking points. If Israel can bring water out of thin air, then why can it not, as a peace-loving nation, make strides towards the two-state solution?
While the answer lies partly with Palestinian rejectionism, it also partly lies with an Israeli political philosophy that is not aligned with peace at the moment. Where the organized Jewish community has succeeded tremendously is in passing along strong Zionist ideals to my millennial generation, but it has failed miserably in telling the truth about political and regional realities. This is why young Jews are dissociating themselves from Israel and the organized community, and why I helped create IPF Atid last summer.
The troubling trend from those in the center and left-of-center camp is to ascribe all the blame on these issues and others to the fault of AIPAC. While the annual conference is a networking must for any Jewish communal professional, it seems each year the reluctance to attend AIPAC grows stronger among younger American Jews.
