Jeremy Ben Ami, the founder of the J Street Project, has a piece in Sunday's Washington Post about what it means to be pro-Israel.

Not surprisingly, Jeremy -- who is an American but from a very prominent Zionist family in Israel -- believes that the cranks who are always calling people "anti-Israel" for supporting negotiations are not themselves pro-Israel at all.

I don't believe that various segments of the lobby have Israel's interests in mind. Nor America's. Their interest is in power, power for its own sake and for the sheer joy of making powerful politicians grovel. That is why Yitzhak Rabin told the lobby to take a hike when he became prime minister in 1992. He wanted Israel to deal with the US "government to government" without the lobby playing the role of intermediary. But that would have put the lobby out of business (no wonder they couldn't stand Rabin).

In any case, take a look at Jeremy's piece. I am delighted that it it is Sunday's Washington Post which means that all the lobby's Congressional bud's will see it.
