It reveals Abunimah as a generational leader among Palestinians and Palestinian-Americans, it openly discusses Abunimah’s personal connection to the Nakba through his parents’ experienc, and its apparent suppression speaks to the incredible fear that even liberal left Jews/Israelis have about anti-Zionism.

J Street is antagonistic to the BDS movement Ali was speaking in support of. Ergo: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ENEMY.

You did hear that Ali referred to J Street as “enemy”, literally; not “not yet convinced”, not “some good points, some difficult ones”.
