Cracks in the wall – Israel lobby goes after Netanyahu

Any signs of openness to peace rather than war is welcomed.  This is a pretty gutsy approach for a U.S. lobbying group in behalf of Israel.  But, whatever it takes to eliminate the war mongers, war economy, and mechanisms of ultimate destruction.  Three cheers for J Street!!!

From the Jerusalem Post:  J Street, Israeli Left blast Netanyahu speech

Meretz leader says Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech has made the Iran threat Israel’s problem alone.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu faced criticism for his UN General Assembly address Tuesday from Labor and Meretz MKs in Israel and from the pro- Israel, pro-peace lobby J Street in Washington.

J Street released a statement expressing disappointment that Netanyahu did not spend more time addressing “the promise of a better future with the Palestinians,” especially in light of the ongoing peace process.

“The prime minister’s speech to the UN General Assembly was a missed opportunity,” the organization said. “Of its 33 minutes, he spent less than two minutes addressing the subject of peace with the Palestinians, as if to make it clear that peace is not a high priority for him.”
