How does J Street welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to town? By politicizing American support for Israel. In a new ad said to air nationally (on al-Jazeera English maybe?), the group makes a silly attempt to ‘juxtapose’ those who say ‘yes’ to peace with those who say….well, it’s tough to find anyone in the U.S. who opposes peace, so J Street just slanders staunch supporters of Israel whose staunch support offends their delicate sensibilities.
The folks J Street places in the two camps are predictable enough. President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and General David Petraeus are on the ‘yes’ team. (See? They even have a military guy on board!) As for the ‘no’ team, that would be Sarah Palin, Joe Lieberman, Congressman Mike Pence, and others.
