Blankfort agrees, you can’t reform the lobby from inside the Jewish community

I haven't had time to read the J Street poll carefully, but I am stunned by this question if Goldfarb properly quoted it in the Weekly Standard:

 "More than that, a majority of respondents (53 percent) disagreed with this statement: "With Hamas launching rockets into southern Israel that killed many Israeli civilians and Israel launching air and ground strikes that killed many Palestinian civilians, neither side has a monopoly on who is right and who is wrong." This language — neither side has a monopoly on who is right and who is wrong — mirrors precisely the language of a statement put out by the group during the war. That statement spurred a devastating smack-down of the group by Eric Yoffie, one of the most prominent doves in the country. "

Hamas rockets didn't kill many civilians and to phrase such a question like that shows that J Street has no backbone. In fact, the poll shows what I have been trying to say: it won't be Jews that are going to lead America out of this morass. It's going to be folks like Freeman, like Mearsheimer and Walt, and people we have yet to hear from who are beginning to say, "we're fed up and not going to take it anymore."

Here's a telling quote from a Guardian editorial:

That editorial appeared on June 27, 1982, in the old weekly edition which combined the Manchester Guardian, the Washington Post, and the French daily Le Monde.
