  • JPAO Letter of Opposition to United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative

    Dear <Representative or Senator>,

    We write to ask you to oppose the inclusion of the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” in the National Defense Authorization Act.

    Perhaps mindful of growing public skepticism about US military support for Israel, advocates of continuing and even deepening the US-Israel military relationship have inserted the “Cooperation Initiative” into the NDAA. This would bolster American-Israeli military and technological integration while shielding it from political oversight and making it harder to undo. 

    The US “defense” budget is already bloated. It allows our government to pursue reckless, counterproductive, and unconstitutional foreign wars while fostering an even greater appetite for them. The US-Israel initiative is especially dangerous because of Israel’s record of reckless violence. Therefore, the Jewish-Palestinian Alliance of Oregon (JPAO) opposes this initiative and strongly encourages you to oppose it as well.

  • Call on Senator Ron Wyden to support the new BLOCK THE BOMBS legislation! (Apr 16 2026)

    Urgent Action: Call on Wyden to Vote YES on Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to BLOCK BOMBS and BULLDOZERS to ISRAEL!

    Since its founding in the weeks following the October 7 attacks, the Jewish-Palestinian Alliance of Oregon has called consistently for one thing above all else: STOP ARMING ISRAEL. Today there is an urgent and concrete opportunity for the U.S. Senate to do exactly that and Oregon’s senators need to hear from us now. With Israel continuing its bloody bombing of Lebanon, massacring hundreds of civilians as it targets apartment blocks in Beirut and undermines the tenuous ceasefire with Iran, this legislation needs our vocal support now.

    TAKE ACTION: CALL ON SENATOR RON WYDEN TO SUPPORT THE NEW BLOCK THE BOMBS LEGISLATION!
