Great to see there's a rival to AIPAC; however, JStreet still doesn't tackle the real problem, ie, Israel as a Jewish state, as opposed to one democratic state in the whole of Israel/Palestine. We need a push to bring equality and true democracy to all of former British mandated Palestine. See the following link for a different solution:

He may get a little wiggle room, but Congress is so caught in the AIPAC web that I doubt they will go along.
