Yay Street for J Street

Thought I'd let everyone know about this great political action committee named J Street, a pro-Israel PAC that lobbies for peace.

It's a shame that whenever the MSM tries to talk about Israel, you get only these two opinions:

• All Israelis are war criminals and it doesn't matter what the Palestinians do Israel has done nothing but oppress them

or

• Everything Israel does is right and all Arabs deserve to be bombed.

Now, I know for certain that the majority of Americans - especially American Jews and Muslims - do not feel this way. Yet these fringe opinions get a disturbingly high amount of attention as the main voices of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This is why a group in Washington like J Street is so important - it brings pragmatists to the table. Despite what the controversy-loving media might tell you, it is possible to defend Israel's right to exist while still being sympathetic towards the Palestinians. It is possible to think that the Palestinians deserve their own homeland while still condoning suicide bombing.

I'll get more into these issues later, but for now I recommend taking a look at J Street.
