J Street is the political arm of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement.
Interesting!
J Street was founded to promote meaningful American leadership to end the Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israel conflicts peacefully and diplomatically. We support a new direction for American policy in the Middle East and a broad public and policy debate about the U.S. role in the region.
J Street represents Americans, primarily but not exclusively Jewish, who support Israel and its desire for security as the Jewish homeland, as well as the right of the Palestinians to a sovereign state of their own - two states living side-by-side in peace and security. We believe ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is in the best interests of Israel, the United States, the Palestinians, and the region as a whole.
J Street supports diplomatic solutions over military ones, including in Iran; multilateral over unilateral approaches to conflict resolution; and dialogue over confrontation with a wide range of countries and actors when conflicts do arise. For more on our policy positions, click here.
J Street will advocate forcefully in the policy process, in Congress, in the media, and in the Jewish community to make sure public officials and community leaders clearly see the depth and breadth of support for our views on Middle East policy among voters and supporters in their states and districts. We seek to complement the work of existing organizations and individuals that share our agenda. In our lobbying and advocacy efforts, we will enlist individual supporters of other efforts as partners.

Many conservatives would support “J Street” over “K Street” unless of course they’re on the “corporate plantation”. Because those folks will always blame countries and religions over corporations for wars ect…

Of course our “experts” in the Pentagon would rather root through the Koran and piss off the Muslim world rather than blaming big oil. Go figure.

Then of course David Duke conveniently shows up for a Holocaust conference which just happens to be on the next “target country” for big oil.

John, we need a little more balance here. I’m not familiar with this “J Street” organization, and perhaps they are sincere and on the right track. I do know there is a major Jewish push to force the U.S. to attack Iran and other countries in the Middle East. From a power perspective I know they far overwhelm this “J Street” group. Don’t you think it would be more helpful if the Americans know who the real power brokers are and where they are leading us?! John, we need to know who our true enemies are!

Bill, I’m not understanding your point on David Duke. I know it’s very interesting to me that an honest conference (all sides) on the holocaust is held in Iran, but can’t be held in the U.S. or probably Europe, for that matter. The Jewish interests that control our media and large portions of our government do not allow free speech on this issue. And as I’ve said before, I know people in jail for expressing their views!

Why didn’t they go to, say, The Phillipines or Ethiopia? Actually how many of these things does David Duke go to and how many make the 6:00 news? The only one I ever heard about was in Iran. In fact it got more coverage than Britney Spears for a while.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Bill, I didn’t hear where The Philippines or Ethiopia hosted such an event.
And as a local example of what I’m talking about in my posts 4, 5, here’s a link about a police state action in Champagne, Illinois. You will see the connection in the article. And as you read the article, understand this could be you son or other family member, or yourself, for that matter. Here’s the link:

Bill, and re Dr. David Duke and the coverage given to the event in Iran. Our PC controllers are very scared of Dr. Duke as he is very bright, knowledgeable, and courageous. He does not back down to the PC Police. That’s why he is so maligned. The establishment continuously maligns him and, as the expression goes, if you tell the lie often enough, the ignorant masses will believe the lie. The establishment, knowing that the masses don’t like Iran, wanted to take advantage of the link to try to reinforce the tarring of both. That’s why the extent of the coverage. Dr. Duke is one of my heroes!

I’m not saying David Duke is part of the “plan” if there is one but remember what happened to South Africa after he went to oversee the “elections” which resulted in a victory for Mandela (a stinking Communist) He definitely has a balkanizing effect sometimes.

Bill, I hadn’t followed Dr. Duke back then. But I’m certain he is not on the “establishment’s” side! No question there at all. Dr. Duke is one of the few out there who speaks for the founding stock of this nation. He’s not “anti” the others, but he is certainly “pro” us!

I know people in jail for expressing their views!
Yeah…
And I know of some Jews who died in concetration camps for being Jewish.
It’s called white supremacy Hugh. You’re advocating for white supremacy. Come right out and admit it, why be so “PC” about it?

captain_menace, I won’t take the time to respond to your comments as this thread has now moved on and no one else would see my response. You clearly have an agenda and it wouldn’t make sense for me to take my time to respond as your mind is closed and you have no interest in the truth.
But suffice it to say, your comments did not at all address my points. Perhaps on another thread we can take this up.
