Noah Pollack at takes a look at The J-Street Jive in a Commentary Magazine article to be published in April. J Street is a leftist group seeking to bring moral relativism, blame America first policy, and a heeping spoonful of high-flying Hope’nChange rhetoric to the American-Israel alliance.
What’s J Street think of Palestinian terrorism?
We’re not doing a very good job at creating a secure home by conducting ourselves in this manner towards another people that are a minority, and that are powerless, and treating them in a way that forces them essentially to become terrorists, and leads to us being again in danger.

[I]t’s time [for the United States] to act like the big brother or the parent and to say “enough is enough and we’re going to take the car keys if you don’t stop driving drunk.” We’re not talking about simply business as usual. There’s got to be some sort of intervention here where the U.S. says to Israel the time has come to finally do something. . . . And within Israel, the Israeli prime minister may have a tough time because of their domestic politics fulfilling their commitments. It’s going to be a lot easier if they say to their coalition partners and to the rest of the government, “I have to do this because the president of the United States is telling me to do it.”
