J Street claims to support Israel, but in truth provides devious cover for anti-Zionists
J Street started in 2008 as a alternative to the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the most powerful independent lobbying organization in the U.S. working on behalf of the state of Israel. From J Street’s official statements—-pro-Israel, pro-peace, supporting a two-state solution—-it’s difficult to see the difference between it and AIPAC, since AIPAC assertively supports these values as well. However, J Street also states that it was started as a reaction to the influence of the “far right” in the American political debate on Israel, and that is the first clue as to its pedigree.
