(25,699 posts)Know what the big difference between AIPAC and J-street is?
AIPAC believes Israel's will should be imposed upon the Palestinians. Israel's desires are first, middle, and last, and if the Palestinians don't like it, then they ought to be shot, bombed, crushed, and otherwise brutalized until forced to accept it.
J-Street believes Israel's will should be imposed upon the Palestinians. Israel's desires are first, middle, and last, and if the Palestinians don't like it, then... then...
Radio silence from J-Street as to what is to be done if Palestinians don't just fall over to embrace J-street's "plan." of course, we already KNOW what happens when Palestinians oppose the imposition of Israel's whims upon them. They get shot, bombed, crushed, and otherwise brutalized.
These two organizations are for all intents and purposes the same. They're the same on Palestine, they're the same on treating Gaza and Jerusalem as if they are separate issues (They are also the same in killing Gazans and not dividing Jerusalem.) They're the same on Iran, and basically everywhere else, they are the same. most of J-Street's "FAQ" page is them sucking up to polish how hard-nosed and "srs bzns" they are about Israeli supremacy.
J-street's role is to take the same colonialist turd, and try to sell it to a younger audience. The "feud" with AIPAC is pretty much cornerstone of this, to create the appearance that J-Street is "fresh," "new,' and "progressive.
