MJ Rosenberg is Director of Policy at Israel Policy Forum. He is also a regular contributor to Talking Points Memo Cafe and Huffington Post. Rosenberg writes predominantly about the Middle East. He is a self-defined Zionist who supports the two-state solution. On most issues related to Israel, he is well left of center, opposing an end to the occupation and Israel's return to the pre-'67 lines in exchange for "ironclad security guarantees." Rosenberg spent most of his career at the United States Congress where he was an aide to several House and Senate members. He was also a political appointee to the Clinton State Department. In the early 1980's, he worked at AIPAC from which he broke after the Oslo agreement. Rosenberg strongly supported Oslo and negotiations with the Palestinians and has not deviated from that position. He is a frequent critic of AIPAC. He writes a weekly column for Israel Policy Forum which is widely reprinted throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East. He strongly opposed the 2009 Gaza war which he called a "humanitarian disaster."
