J Street Assaults Israel

J Street is going ballistic:

Tuesday’s announcement by the government of Israel of 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem wasn't just a slap in the face to Vice President Joe Biden.

It was a wake-up call to us all that business-as-usual peace processing is bringing us no closer to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And now it may derail or delay the proximity talks just announced Monday.

The alarm bells couldn’t be ringing more loudly, telling us that hope is fading for a future where a Jewish, democratic Israel lives side-by-side in peace and security with the state of the Palestinian people.

Yet an urgency of purpose suited to the danger of the moment is missing – here in the U.S., in Israel and in the American Jewish community. The time has come for strong action, not more talk.

Click here to join our petition to the President – to be delivered Monday – asking for stronger American leadership to ensure a two-state solution now.

We'll deliver your petitions - in person - to the White House on Monday.

"Stronger leadership"?

Like a dictatorial regime leader? Like forcing upon Israel a solution that is detrimental to it? That most of world Jewry opposes, except for the progressive Jstreeters?
