AIPAC - text ACT to 24722

When there is a pro-Israel vote in Congress, you can find J Street’s endorsees voting against it. J Street candidates vote NO on: -promoting the Abraham Accords -funding Iron Dome -celebrating Israel's 75th anniversary

is many things, but it's not pro-Israel.

When I coined the word "Zionophobia", friends advised me to tone it down. After all, they said, "phobia" connotes an incurable sickly obsession, and you don't want to make it sound like that. I was right.

Imagine being so crazed by hatred for Israel as a Jewish State that you make it the subject of your commencement speech at a law school graduation. Anti-Israel derangement syndrome at work.

This!

: "Despite calling itself “Pro-Israel and Pro-Peace,” J Street’s obsession with the Palestinian issue, above all else, makes a mockery of its slogan, as does its soft spot for similar Palestinian enablers and obsessives."

I've just heard President Biden taking pride for the upbringing he has had, his Irish heritage, etc. Humans need to communicate their uniqueness, and group identity is the quickest method available to us. A passport is labled group identity which has gone through some scrutiny.
