Reply #14: There has been no significant movement within the United States government

[Jefferson23]

to influence Israel to end the occupation. Efforts to negate nonviolent resistance will be seen as enablers for Israel imo. As these groups
are not hardliners such as AIPAC, they are not, evidently, willing to exert pressure on Israel. After they witnessed OCL last year, and seeing
for themselves the push back Bibi is giving Obama, one can conclude, they are as a group, a soft voice for peace. And I don't find their actions
lending them a great deal of credibility as a result.

Of course, this is their prerogative, but an unfortunate one.
