Many Americans who care about Israel's future are questioning
whether the hard-line, uncritical stances adopted by many
traditional pro-Israel advocates really serve the country's best
interests over the long-term. Moderate Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder of J
Street, the new pro-Israel, pro-peace political movement, punctures
many of the myths that have long guided our understanding of the
politics of the American Jewish community and have been fundamental
to how pro-Israel advocates have pursued their work including: *
that leaders of established Jewish organizations speak for all
Jewish Americans when it comes to Israel * that being pro-Israel
means you cannot support creation of a Palestinian state * that
American Jews vote for candidates based largely on their support of
Israel * that talking peace with your enemies demonstrates weakness
* that allying with neoconservatives and evangelical Christians is
good for Israel and good for the Jewishcommunity Ben-Ami, whose
grandparents were first-generation Zionists and founders of Tel
Aviv, tells the story of his own evolution toward a more moderate
viewpoint. He sketches a new direction for both American policy and
the conduct of the debate over Israel in the American Jewish
community.
