J Street founder to discuss Israeli-Palestinian conflict tonight

The founder of a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that advocates for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is coming to Pittsburgh tonight to discuss the Obama administration's decision to stop pushing for a freeze on new Jewish settlements.
Jeremy Ben-Ami is president and founder of J Street, which describes itself as a "political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans." He will talk about "Israel at a Crossroads" tonight at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill.
His visit comes after the Obama administration announced last week that it is giving up its efforts to persuade Israel to stop construction of Jewish settlements in disputed areas for 90 days. That decision leaves the future of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks uncertain.
