Taking back the debate over Israel

Sick of right-wing Jews speaking in their name, progressive American Jews have launched J Street to change the way the game is played in Washington.

    Great news

    Great article, great news. I will be sending them some money.

    I happen to believe that the most pro-Israel position to take is a moderate position that stresses land for peace, a two-state solution, and negotiation.

    That is, if the situation is not already completely hopeless.

    But let those who disagree do so. The problem is not that people offer different solutions. The problem is that deviation from a particular orthodoxy is shouted down.

    That's the real problem. We need a genuine debate, not a rubber stamp.
