So wait, is it possible to be Pro Israel AND Pro Peace?

Meet the new political group 'J Street', formed to lobby in Washington and raise funds towards a more centered US Middle East policy.

Most certainly the group is a response to the influential and controversial AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), who has wielded its power to help achieve Israeli security at the obvious detriment to Palestinians.
