They describe this as "necessitating an end to Israel's occupation of land acquired during the 1967 war and an end to Palestinian terrorism ". The group endorses a two-state solution to the conflict. The founding president of this organization is Marcia Freedman . In 2006, the group collaborated with Americans for Peace Now (APN) and the Israel Policy Forum (IPF) to advocate against the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act, supported by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The bill eventually became law, but in a form that was quite different from the original language proposed by AIPAC. By 2008, efforts to combine IPF, APN, and Brit Tzedek into a single dovish Jewish group went dormant.Compared to the other dovish Jewish groups, Brit Tzedek developed a massive grassroots operation, claiming 48,000 volunteers in the United States.Brit Tzedek's operations merged into J Street in September 2009, one of several strategic acquisitions by J Street.Brit Tzedek would become J Street's field operations branch.At that time, Brit Tzedek's budget was less than $900,000 with a staff of five people.
