"Protests in Israel against the government’s anti-democratic judicial overhaul have found an echo throughout the world…

"Central to the protests is a group of Israeli expatriates who can teach us all a lesson about civics and activism. Israelis in San Francisco launched the UnXeptable initiative… in response to the new government’s designs on the country’s democracy…

"UnXeptable is the first Israeli-American movement to emerge since the Israeli-American Council, and it has developed on a wholly organic, ground-up basis…

"The Israeli pro-democracy protest movement is a magnificent opportunity… to encourage dialogue and interaction between American- and Israel-born Jews on matters of common concern. In our support of democracy – in America and in Israel – we stand united. UnXeptable demonstrates the tremendous potential of Israeli Americans’ participation in broader American Jewish life…

"In its ability to mobilize, it is showing itself to be truly Xceptional."
