J Street is an American organization that has become a very great detriment to the State of Israel and the Israeli people (“American Jews Place Hopes In Herzog,” March 20). It continues to advocate for the worst of President Obama’s policies and in some instances it even goes further. It makes the Israeli people two nations, advocating a split of Israel into “good guys,” who live in Tel Aviv and have that mentality, and the “bad guys,” who have settled in [communities over the Green Line].
I would like to know how J Street can be considered pro-Israel. Why don’t they focus on the enemies of Israel like ISIS, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah rather than viewing settlers of Eretz Yisrael as enemies?
