A Quick J Street Clarification

Something that bears clarification from my J Street piece yesterday: when Daniel Levy refers to “zealots” who destroyed “previous Jewish commonwealths,” he was referring to the neocons, and not to AIPAC. I misunderstood his remark. You want to get mad at someone, get mad at me. My apologies to Levy.

Also, the J Street discussion has blossomed since the organization’s launch. See Dana Goldstein, Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Matt Stoller (who’s on the advisory board), M.J. Rosenberg (who’s quoted in my piece), Mark Leon Goldberg, Laura Rozen, Michael Simopoulos, and Philip Weiss.
