As Jews we say "Birthright" trips must end

As Jews we say "Birthright" trips must end As the summer months approach, thousands of young Jews from more than 60 countries prepare to participate in the  Taglit-Birthright  program. Since 1999, Birthright has brought 340,000 young Jews to Israel on free ten-day trips. In the midst of the fervor to sign up for this bi-annual program, we have launched the website Renounce Birthright ( renouncebirthright.org ) with the aim of providing a space for potential participants to engage with critiques of Birthright and of  Zionism .
