What we have had in this country is a total obfuscation of the facts of the conflict. Israel cannot claim the higher ground when it is busy expropriating lands from Palestinian people.

I am a Jewish senior citizen and political activist who attended the J Street Conference. I found it exhilarating and stimulating. I was most impressed by the interest, knowledge, and enthusiasm of young people like yourselves. I think this article is one of the best I have seen about the Conference. What most of the opponents seem to miss is that there is a difference between supporting the existence of a Jewish state and blindly endorsing anything a particular Israeli government does. We wouldn't do that for any other democratic country, why should we for Israel? Keep up the good work!
