At J Street Jive: J Street Dead in the Water. It makes it more difficult to make the pro-Israel case when the Israeli government itself doesn't accept your invitations.
And I love the sidebar feature over there "Meet the J Street Advisors." Quick, what J Street advisor said:
I can't help fearing that the Zionist enterprise will one day be seen to have done the Jewish people more harm than good. Our tenacious hold on this strip of homeland has become the scapegoat for the world's terrorism and this wouldn't be the case if we remained a people of the diaspora.

...and the answer is??? I guess an Israel constituted strictly in the diaspora would be sort of a virtual Israel. Like Israel 2.0. Yeah, that's the ticket. Sounds pretty "pro-Israel" to me...
Our tenacious hold on this strip of homeland has become the scapegoat for the world's terrorism and this wouldn't be the case if we remained a people of the diaspora.
You wouldn't be around any longer because instead of the "strip of homeland" being, as you so magnanimously admit the scapegoat, you Diaspora Jews would continue in that age old role dedicated to you and yours for all times.
So now that you have identified the projection of bad behaviour onto the Israelis what are you doing to overcome it and save your sorry backsides when Israel is gone?
g,
There is now the concept of cloud computing making its way into the market place so I suppose a Virtual Israel in Cloud Cuckoo Land is possible.
How about a virtual palestine?
There would be multiple instances of the virtual palestine. All instances of palestine would of course crash due to inherent buginess of the design as specified in the hamass charter.
Right. And the alternative was what exactly?
