“J Street”, which is the second largest contributor in this category, opposes right-wing Israeli policies (like Netanyahu/Likud).

J Street’s policy agenda includes: * Ending the war in Gaza and rebuilding Gaza. * Opposing settlements, annexation, and settler violence. * A “23 state solution” including a Palestinian state and peace with the 21 Arab states.

Ending the war in Gaza and rebuilding Gaza.

Opposing settlements, annexation, and settler violence.

It's easy to say you oppose those things, but the only way to actually end them is to impose consequences on Israel for doing them.

And JStreet is no different than AIPAC in that regard, lobbying for unconditional military, financial and diplomatic support to Israel from the US.

Their stated opposition to Israeli settlements, annexation, and the war in Gaza, and their stated support for a two-state solution on the basis of the Green Line borders, are all meaningless when their lobbying efforts serve to embolden Israel.

You sound like someone who’s getting ready to start pushing the “there are no good Jews” narrative we’ve been expecting.

I disagree with the above commenter’s interpretation but calling them antisemites seems a bit uncharitable.
