NJN Teams Up with Peace Now to Say: Israelis Welcome a Palestinian State

Written By Yoni Kurtz

Throughout the day on Monday, September 22nd, a truck circled UN Headquarters in New York with a clear message to those deliberating on recognition of a Palestinian state: Israelis support a Palestinian state.

The truck, sponosored by NJN and Peace Now, served to amplify the message already being sent in Israel by Peace Now that Israelis support a Palestinian state.

The mobile billboard, which read “Israelis welcome a Palestinian State” and “two states for a better future for both people,” made clear to local passersby and world diplomats that a Palestinian state is good for Israel, and that the current Israeli government’s misleading claims about a Palestinian state do not speak for American or Israeli Jews.

A passing cyclist reads the NJN-Peace Now mobile billboard, which reads: “Israelis Welcome a Palestinian State. Two states for a better future for both peoples.”

Peace Now’s parallel ad campaign in Israel featured an ad in Haaretz that read: “A Palestinian state is good for Israel.”

The moblie billboard parked outside of UN Headquarters.

The truck made loops around the UN district, attracting looks from curious passersby and .fellow drivers.

Watch as the NJN-Peace Now truck drives past the UN.
