To water the seeds of peace, we need to recognize the humanity on all sides of this conflict and work to create a framework of peace that acknowledges the truths of two distinct narratives.

Can you imagine how transformational it would be if a high profile, "pro-Arab, pro-peace" organization pressured Palestinian leaders to dismantle the teaching of Jew-hatred in Palestinian society -- a hatred that has made a mockery of all moves toward peace?

On the very day the House was voting on the anti-Goldstone resolution, a far-right Israel group was meeting on the Hill to discuss a far-right, pro-settler agenda.

In the usually wonky world of non-profit issue-advocacy organizations, a decidedly political campaign has been waged against foreign policy institutio...

In the 1990s, when we came together, we only did it at the behest of the White House, and Israeli and Palestinian leaders on the White House lawn validated the effort. This time is different.

Some of the very House members who denounce the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war and God knows how many other US military actions (often rightly) go mute when it comes to Israel.

During an unofficial panel of bloggers and activists at J Street's conference, I criticized Wiesel and Oren for associating with Hagee. Why is Wiesel palling around with Hagee? Why did I "mock" Wiesel?

J Street must decide what it wants to be -- a wide tent that allows all Jewish opinions on Israel or an orthodoxy that pushes only conventional platitudes -- but the Palestinians don't have time to wait.

The events harnessed an energy similar to Obama's presidential run last year. Like that campaign, J Street came as a breath of fresh air for many who felt they were part of a silenced majority.

Chuck Hagel will soon be officially announced as the new chair of the President's Federal Intelligence Advisory Board. He represents the brand of pragmatic Republican national security decisionmaking that Obama needs to hear.

In 2000, the Israeli army decided to seize Yusuf Bashir's house and use it as a sentry post. The army had already destroyed other houses in the neighborhood.

J Street, an advocacy and lobbying firm created 18 months ago, is holding its first annual conference beginning Sunday, with participation from about ...

Tzipi Livni has sent in a remarkable letter of affirmation to J Street, recognizing potential differences but affirming a shared strategic vision for the best interests of Israel.

Like other J Streeters, I think the Obama administration is helping America and Israel when it tries to stop actions that, if left unchecked, will preclude a two-state solution.
Kevin Coval | Posted 10.20.2009 | World
Some right-wing blogs and pseudo-news organizations have churned the alarmist rumor mill about the J Street conference. What is disappointing, and troubling, is J Street's response: caving.
MJ Rosenberg | Posted 10.20.2009 | Politics
There sure is a lot of effort going into discrediting an organization that is, in fact, only a little to the left of the "mainstream" pro-Israel organizations.
MJ Rosenberg | Posted 10.14.2009 | World
Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, is boycotting J Street's -- the new pro-Israel PAC -- first annual conference. Incredibly, he says it could "impair Israeli interests."
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach | Posted 09.21.2009 | Politics
The left-wing Israeli lobby J Street's cheap tactics of creating its name by attacking Aipac, the ADL, and the ZOA is shameful. There's room in the Jewish community for many voices without creating a civil war.

Having spent the past decade advocating in different congressional districts for peace in the Middle East, I have found a similar response: elected officials act when they hear from their constituents.

Let's show that there's real support for pro-Israel, pro-peace members of Congress by helping Congresswoman Donna Edwards scare off any possible challengers.

Under his previous term, Netanyahu's extreme right-wing domestic and international policies left Israel starving for alternatives. Literally.

Since J Street released a second poll of American Jews' views on Israel, the Middle East, and the US role in resolving conflicts in the region, some of the usual suspects have tried to reject the results out of hand.
