AIPAC has always been the unofficial, official lobby of the Israel in the US. Regardless of the government in power in Israel, regardless of who the Prime Minster was, AIPAC always acted and continues to act on behalf of the interests of Israel and her citizens.

So what Is J Street? Neither recognized, nor sanctioned by the present Israeli government, yet supported by its Left leaning opposition, J Street appears to be a movement with only its own interests at heart, using the guise of "Pro-Israel" while touting "Pro-Peace." In other words, just another organization trying to be politically correct while pushing their solution to Mid-East problems.

Because they act counter to the interests of Israel, they only serve the interests of those who would do it harm.

I've had enough of the propaganda from AIPAC and its drones. The moment they find someone inconvenient, they start baiting people by calling them anti-semitic etc. Congratulations JStreet. You are the future.

J Street would have to actually support Israel before one could describe its support as "soft". J Street is the Judenrat for the Second Holocaust, following in the footsteps of King Chaim along the path to the Second Holocaust, the destruction of Israel.

I am almost 73 years old, and I've just returned from 2 1/2 days at the J Street Conference. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. I felt a strong sense of commitment and common cause among people of all ages. If Taubman had been there, he may start to see things differently. Onward J Street!

J Street's conference hosts the leaders of various Arab and Muslim lobby organizations but is shunned by the Israeli ambassador. It's congressional support is made up of only the farthest left congressmen and women. It's only strong Jewish affiliation is Reform. Little more needs to be shared. If one has more doubts, they need only read JStreets positions online.
