J Street is Pro Hamas and Anti Israel.

Ask that poll question the right way.

"Should Palestinians be given a state with Hamas or other Palestinian terrorists in charge" because that's what it would be currently.

Ask again

Closer to home, amid the relentless moaning and hand ringing about the Palestinians, does anyone at J-Street ever think about the collection of jews working for Donald Trump (Lee Zeldin, David Sacks, Stephen Witkoff, Stephen Miller, Howard Lutnick, Jared Kushner, etc.) and helping to lead the country towards a fascist kleptocracy? Is J-Street still a political organization?

Excellent discussion. Unify the Democrats. And he's right, J-Street will absolutely help to do that. R.K.. carries a lot of weight with the young folk, and I hope that message takes hold.

What America is doing is morally wrong. You are supplying Netanyahu with the means without which he can do no moral wrong. This is war between America and whatever threatens it’s messianic hegemony. Netanyahu is whatever he is but he and Zelenskyy are willing proxies of a sick nation.

This was excellent on the positive side Mr. Khana brings needed lucidity. Where can I read his letter you mentioned. Now to the negative. I believe we should start referring to Netanyahu's Gaza Extermination Camp. That will cause a lot of anger, as a deliberate historical reference. But so what it's time to call a spade a spade or a genocide a genocide. It's clear that Netanyahu doesn't recognize Palestinians as people: they are just objects in the way of the Jordan to the coast solution. Keep calling it the Gaza Extermination Camp: that's focused, that's real and so it will force Netanyahu to try to defend the indefensible,and the fact that it is indefensible totally will be transparent

this is sick!!!!. Trump Calls Netanyahu a ‘War Hero’ and Adds: ‘I Guess I Am, too’

President Trump praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel for bombing Iranian nuclear sites and credited himself as well.

President Trump praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel as a “war hero” for ordering his country’s forces to bombard Iran’s nuclear sites — and then said that the same label should apply to himself.

In an interview aired Tuesday with Mark Levin, the conservative talk show host and author who is a prominent supporter of the president, Mr. Trump described Mr. Netanyahu as a “good man.” His words echoed the mood of self-congratulation over the strikes on Iran when the two leaders met at the White House in July.

“He’s a war hero, because we work together. He’s a war hero,” Mr. Trump said of the Israeli leader. “I guess I am too,” he added.

Hamas Accepts New Gaza Cease-Fire Proposal, Officials Say

It was unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was on board with the terms, which came as Qatar and Egypt were intensifying mediation efforts. Remember Netanyahu is conflicted human, being an autocrat! in clothing in a democratic state!

The plan would also require Israel to redeploy its forces in Gaza, and it would allow enough humanitarian aid to enter the territory to meet the needs of Palestinians, two of the officials said.

Not sure, Jacques... Maybe that's on your computer? We're not hearing any background music on our end?

Well the conversation passed, but given his sensitivity to human rights, did anyone ask Ro Khanna (a Hindu) if he was also concerned about Pakistan in Kashmir, and India's treatment of it's Muslim population. Or are the only evils in the world committed by Jews?

Ro Khanna is hardly “selective” on human rights: he’s criticized India (his ancestral country) over pluralism and Hindutva politics, led the charge to end U.S. complicity in the Saudi war on Yemen—calling it a “barbaric” atrocity and passing a historic War Powers resolution (Khanna’s resolution to end U.S. support), and invoked the Constitution to challenge America’s own role in unauthorized wars. His record is one of the most consistent: he calls out abuses whether by India, Saudi Arabia, the U.S., or Israel.
