J street just plays the equivalence game as usual. called the flotilla tragic... "a phrase that connotes something mutual and unnecessary".
It's reported that the American Jewish lobbying group J Street will be launching a new media campaign later this month "aimed at encouraging the American administration to take greater initiative in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process." J Street's vice-president of communications, Isaac Luria, complains that "There are people trying to turn support for Israel into a political football, people like [Rush] Limbaugh, Sarah Palin or [Republican Congressman] Eric Cantor. This is in part a fight against the tea-partyization of the pro-Israel position."
of course they are against the blockade and want the release of Gilad Shalit.
In reality, Israel is already planning to remove all or virtually all of the remaining restrictions on civilian supplies into Gaza. Hamas, however, doesn't seem to have heeded J Street's call for the "immediate" release of Shalit.
