They’ll point the finger of blame at Israelis, alledging that they did not surrender enough to the terrorists who want to kill them all.

People who assume that if we just betrayed Israel enough we would be loved among the Arabs are delusional. If we sided with Israel’s enemies as much as they want us to, and Israel was destroyed, we would gain no kudos with the Arabs and other Muslims. We would gain only a justified contempt for betrayng an ally. That is what the policies advocated by J-street, the McPeaks, and the Powerses would lead to. The naivete of “realists” is as risible as that of the “idealists”.

Actually, given how the policies they advocate would affect the United States, I would say that their single loyalty is to an ideology, not the best interests of this (or any other) country.

Of course, when the policies they advocate backfire and blow up in their faces, they will be the first to point the finger of blame at their political opponents.

They are consciou pushing the United States to adopt policies that the democratically elected government of Israel does not want to accept, to force the Israelis into concessions that most Israelis believe carry grave potential danger.

Give J Street this: no one can possibly accuse them of dual loyalties.
