J Street Still All Bark and No Bite

Published August 5, 2009 8:31pm ET



J Street, the pro-peace, pro-Palestinian, anti-Joe Lieberman lobbying group, has joined with Americans for Peace Now, Churches for Middle East Peace, Brit Tzedek, and a bunch of other peacenik groups to pressure Democrats in Congress not to sign a letter to the president calling on him to pressure the Arabs to normalize relations with Israel. That campaign has not gone well. JTA’s Eric Fingerhut reports:

Reid’s name is listed on AIPAC’s website as one of the 41 senators who have thus far signed the missive to the president, which backs his effort to encourage Arab states to normalize relations with Israel. (We have a call out to confirm the signing with Reid’s office.)
