If you still think J Street is a pro-Israel lobby, you may want to read this link from Mere Rhetoric.com about founder Daniel Levy. (The below two links are a few months old but hardly outdated.)

Yes, George Soros and all, this is the organization that was founded as a leftist alternative to AIPAC (which does support Israel). The problem is that J Street seeks to mask its intentions. You may remember that President Obama's State Department liaison for anti-Semitic matters, Hannah Rosenthal, came from J Street. Her first act was to travel to Israel, where she proceeded to trash the Israeli Ambassador to the US, Michael Oren (putting herself in distinguished company, namely the UC-Irvine Muslim Student Union). According to some, Rosenthal is more concerned about Islamophobia than anti-Semitism.

To a non-Jewish observer like me, this is all quite confusing.

...some dirt will rub off when I talks about you.
Challenge my facts in this piece, Siarlys. Tell me what I wrote that is wrong.
What facts?
Once again, the facts you offer are that some Jews disagree with other Jews. What is surprising about that?
