NIF at the J Street Conference: Behind the Scenes in the Struggle to Protect Democracy

The past year has seen an unprecedented assault on democracy in Israel—an erosion of acceptance for dissent, a growing intolerance of religious and ethnic minorities, and a rising tendency to label those Israelis who defend human rights as unpatriotic and even treasonous. The struggle to defend the values of democracy, led by civil society, is taking place in the courts, the Knesset, the media, and the arena of public opinion. Go behind the scenes to learn about the reality behind this struggle: what are the real issues in the Knesset, how might this play out, what are the challenges of collaboration—between and within organizations, between mainstream and left, between Israel and Diaspora?

Panelists:
Daniel Ben Simon, Member of Knesset
Naomi Chazan, President, The New Israel Fund
Hagai El-Ad, Executive Director, The Association for Civil Rights in Israel

Moderator: Kathleen Peratis, Vice Chair, J Street Education Fund; Partner, Outten & Golden LLP
