Biletzki is a member of the executive board of FFIPP-I ( Faculty for Israeli-Palestinian Peace International ), which describes itself as "a network of Palestinian, Israeli, and International faculty, and students, working in solidarity for a complete end of the occupation and just peace." Biletzki distinguishes between "Jewish Israel" and Israel as a nation. In a New York Times opinion piece she writes that "[the 2015 minority government bloc] holds a Jewish, nationalistic agenda," and "norms of exclusive Jewish rights and exclusion of Arab citizens" are inherent to Zionism. She says the same for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's assertion that a two-state solution would never be implemented during his tenure and his concern over large numbers of Israeli Arabs going to the voting booths.
