So Much for the Conspiracy

JERUSALEM — There’s a new player in Washington, D.C.:

For years, liberal American Jews who have chafed under the taboo against criticizing Israel have dreamed of starting a political organization that would speak for them. Now, with the launch of J Street, that dream has become a reality.

I’ve always laughed at the fanatical idea that there is a Jewish conspiracy and/or Israel Lobby that controls the world — or at least impedes political debate on Middle Eastern affairs. As I noted in a prior post, Jews and Israelis cannot even agree amongst themselves. Now that there is a left-wing and a right-wing lobby for Israel, this only proves my point further.
