"a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork" was how the brilliant and weird expatriate American novelist William S. Burroughs described  drug induced clarities in his 1959 novel, Naked Lunch.  Since its inception in 2008, J Street has been delivering lethal, anti-Israel initiatives and polemics and serving them up as "Pro Israel."  Jeremy Ben Ami continually tries to   convince his diners that that foul smelling thing on the end of his fork is really ambrosia.
The latest dish  is an attempt to dissuade lawmakers from signing the Poe-Peters letter circulating in Congress. In spite of the moderate wording of the letter (to this date signed by 329 Congressmen and 87 Senators (John Kerry being a notable not signing) and its appeal to resume the proximity talks that will hopefully move along the peace process, J Street's Ben Ami is having none of it, convinced that the road to peace is paved with overt anti-Israel rhetoric cloaked in peace blandishments:
" (the letter) fail[s] to address the impact of the present closure of Gaza on the civilian population, the deep American interest in resolving this conflict diplomatically, or the urgency of moving forward with diplomacy before it is too late."
No mention of the letter's urging diplomacy or appeal for an end to the conflict.  No matter how often J Street is unmasked as a Palestinian surrogate, committed to its eliminationist agenda rather than Israel's survival, the vast, deluded Left must maintain the absurd fiction of J Street as "Pro Israel."
As usual, no substantive objections were raised about the letter.
Of the 58 congressmen endorsed by the JStreet PAC, 18 signed the letter.  Conspicuously missing were Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts.
 Recently J Street has been banging the drum for McGovern,  sensing vulnerability in the November elections:

 Jim McGovern - Vulnerable? We Can Only Hope
 "You and I know how rare it is to find a courageous leader in Congress willing to press for US leadership to achieve peace and security in the Middle East.  
In 2010, far too many of our best leaders are fighting for their political lives - some specifically because of their bold leadership on our issue.

For decades, Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) has been a leading voice in Congress for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  Now he faces the fight of his political career, and he's written a special note to JStreetPAC supporters asking for our support.

We created JStreetPAC specifically to prove that pro-Israel, pro-peace politicians like Jim McGovern could count on support when they needed it from us.  With just days till the June 30 reporting deadline, I hope you'll step up for Jim the way he has for us in Congress."

-----Isaac Luria, J Street


  Stepehn Lynch hasn't shown up on the PAC yet, but in light of his outrageous, Pro Gaza statements and his refusal to sign the Poe Peters letter, it's only a matter of time.The fact that 18 - all Democrats - signed the letter in apparent defiance of Ben Ami shows just how tenuous J Street's hold on its monopoly of opinion really is.
