The two-state solution is on its deathbed, but that news didn’t reach J Street conference
When the liberal “pro-Israel, pro-peace” lobby J Street launched in 2008, it was big news. Coupled with a new presidential administration pledging sustained engagement on Israel/Palestine, the thought many had was that this was the moment a lasting peace deal … Continue reading

‘J Street’ honorably opposes McCarthyism in Israeli civil society (but what about ethnically-cleansed Palestinians?)
The other day J Street’s Jeremy Ben-Ami sent me another entreaty to help him “save Israel.” This one was grabbed a little more of my attention than the last one. Matthew — Yesterday, in a move ripped from Joe McCarthy’s … Continue reading
