J Street, a new lobby on Capitol Hill, calls itself "Pro-Israel, pro-Palestine, and pro-Peace." This certainly sounds nice, but what are the group's actual intentions? On Wednesday night, Daniel Pollak, Co-director of Government Relations for the Zionist Organization of America, will engage Penn students in a debate on the following issues (and more): - Is J Street actually pro-Israel? - What does it mean to be pro-Israel? - What type of work is J Street really doing in Washington? - Where does J Street get its funding? - Is J Street acting in the interest of peace in the region, or are they simply another group attempting to pressure Israel into making concessions to her neighbors? - How is J Street different from AIPAC and other similar organizations? - Most importantly, is J Street bad for Israel? We look forward to a lively evening of debate and discussion! And don't forget to bring great questions! Co-sponsored by the Zionist Organization of America and the Penn Zionist Freedom Alliance
